Son-in-Law
The funny thing about the movie Son-in-Law is the fact it’s funny the first time you see it but gets less and less funny every time you watch it.
Pauly Shore might have been yesterday’s Larry the Cable Guy but the reality is his movies really lack any real substance …
The Mirror Has Two Faces movie
Barbra Streisand directed and starred in The Mirror Has Two Faces, a 1996 movie that co-starred Jeff Bridges and Lauren Bacall. The great Bacall was stellar as Streisand’s mother. What a duo those two made. It was like watching American royalty with two great and dynamic …
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Definitely, Maybe movie
I normally have no interest in watching romance movies, especially romance comedy films. However, the only thing which attracted the romance comedy “Definitely, Maybe” was in the first place was the fact that the comedy actor Ryan Reynolds was going to be in it. Thus of course, I expected …
Grand Finale: FIFA World Cup 2006 movie
Positives: Comprehensive, narrative, informative and captivating.
Negatives: Too short, concise but could do with a bit more detail, narrow topic focus.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I’m not usually a huge fan of romantic comedies. They’re OK but I get bored with them quickly because they usually have the same basic plot.

Argo (2012 Oscar-Winning Thriller Film)
Ever since watching Alfonso Cuaron’s highly-acclaimed suspense space film “Gravity” in cinemas, I have searched my way into watching more suspense/thriller films. I love the rush feeling of my heartbeat as I see protagonists trying to survive.
Argo was that kind of film. The first time I watched the movie (2 …

Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie

Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.

Shakespeare in Love,1998 movie
