This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …
Johnny English
This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …

House is a very cool and good movie. I must say I really loved this movie a lot when I saw it. House made me afraid of huge houses. I remember as a kid when I would go to my friend’s huge house. After I saw this film, I …

Murder by Television movie
It’s Bela Lugosi doing his thing in the vintage movie, Murder by Television. This is going back to the beginnings of TV, when networks and manufacturers were making the concept work and striving to make it better than their competitor.
This movie is all about industrial piracy, so …
Cop Out movie
Cop Out is a movie which falls flat and a passable fare which trenches into deep falls scene by scene. When Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan share the screen for a police comedy, the expectations were to see a rollicking comedy and gags of laugh. But unfortunately Cop Out …

This is probably one of the most imaginative and daring films to come along in years. Granted, the basic plot has been done over and over before (finding a serial killer), but in this case, the road toward getting from point A to point Z is what matters. …

Jack Black
OK, I know I should like Jack Black. But, I just can�t seem to find any respect for him.
