Wanted : Angelina Jolie
The movie wanted is fantastic. It’s got a very nice idea of having assassins with supernatural abilities to be able to focus and see from a different perspective. The story is fast paced and unfolds rapidly before your eyes. It will lead you to believe something but then another …
From Dusk Till Dawn
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.

Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.

Waitress - (starring Keri Russell)

Film Sleepy Hollow

Transformers: Age of extinction (2014)
Finally, in midst of all its criticism, I watched Transformers: Age of Extinction. It is nothing but a visual bombardment from Michael Bay, with a poor script. It starred Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor.
