Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
OK, maybe it’s because I’m a guy, but I just can’t understand the attraction of a movie about four girls who form a club based on a pair of blue jeans that happen to fit all of them.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is the definition of “Chick Flick.” …
17 Again movie
I highly anticipated the comedy “17 Again”; I’m not a huge Zac Efron fan, but the movie looked cute. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver.
I liked the main character’s best friend; he was a millionaire nerd whose brilliant mind earned him a ridiculous amount of wealth, but whose lack of social …
Twilight (PG-13, 2008)
I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow movie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …

The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …
Cabin in The Woods movie
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I decided it was time to start watching (and reviewing) some horror films! A recent, and extremely well-reviewed “horror film” that I missed in theaters so decided to rent was “Cabin in the Woods”. A family member of mine recommended it, and …
Yes Man movie
Yes Man is another great comedy starring Jim Carey. The movie hit the number one spot in office this weekend and it did better than Will Smith’s Seven Pounds. The movie is a success. You will get nothing but laugh with Jim Carey. There is a lot of laugh. …
I Walked with a Zombie movie
Another classic horror film, made back in the 1930s. Very subtle horror is it doesn’t really contain any violence or monsters. A woman travels to Jamaica where she learns of the strange culture called voodoo - the ability to control people using a puppet.
This woman experiences the most remarkable …

This is a wonderful animal movie for both children and adults. I guess you could say it is a true story as nature photographers filmed it up in the artic (the animals are not trained acting animals - they are the real thing). Words were added to the picture …

John C. Reilly

My biggest objection to Norbit the first time I watched it is I felt it …
The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan
Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …
House of 9
When I watched House of 9 a couple of days ago, I had hoped I would get a psychological thriller. What I got was a dragged out drama with much more talk than action.
