Lenny Live (documentary)
Years ago I watched a documentary on Lenny Kravitz that showed who he was BEFORE he became the big time superstar. It centered a lot on his personal life, and his child with Lisa Bonet, Zoey. In this documentary, Lenny’s daughter is well into her teens …
Movie - Serendipity
Serendipity is so beautiful, it’s almost cathartic. One of the loveliest movies I’ve seen.
The movie is about how if two people are destined to be together, luck brings them together. Kate Beckinsale (Sarah in the film) plays the sweet “believer” perfectly, while John Cusack (Jonathan in the film) …

The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …
Dancer in the Dark (2000)
This movie rocks my world everytime I warch it. Rocks my world, meaning that it plays with my feelings so easily, this movie absorbs me completely. It’s about pure emotion and empathy, presented in the most heartfelt way ever: a mother’s love for her son. The story is set …

The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …

The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …

Avatar, epic science fiction action film
James Cameron is one of the few directors that know how to make a movie that explains everything. The man’s films will never have you questioning what happened or what so and so are doing at a certain point. James Cameron is one of the best directors out there …
Movie TAKEN
This is probably the best story action movie I have seen in a long time so far. I mean there are many action movies nowadays but “Taken” have taken my attention. I can feel the intensity and the urge of every fight seen and ever wonder if there is …
The Thing Below (2004) Movie
This is one of those creepy science fiction pictures, horror really, that I found boring. The movie just didn’t hold my attention very well. I guess the plot moved too slowly. Normally I like these kind of creepy pictures. It could be the over-used plot this movie has. Or …
Blood Diamonds
This is by far one of Leonardo di Caprio’s best films along with “The Departed”. I particularly liked the way “Blood Diamonds” was filmed and, as a mother of a small kid, I was very much impressed with scenes were kids were ordered to kill their enemies. I just …

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)

Dead Leaves anime OVA
I’ve seen some terrible movies in my day. “Catwoman”, “Transformers 2″, “Turkish Star Wars” to name a few. I’ve seen movies so bad that I roll my eyes when people make fun of “Twilight”. Granted, I’ve only seen the first movie and it wasn’t particularly good …

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
I think this animated film is perhaps one of the never-ending type of movies that I will definitely be catching a lot of times in this year 2008. I think that perhaps 2008 will be a very good year of animations and the likes and in this very funny …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.

As a fan of Halle Berry, I was eager to see this film. She is a fantastic actress, that brings …
Hell’s House movie
Hell’s House from 1932 is not going to go down as a favorite film of mine. There wasn’t all that much outstanding about it. In fact, it was all pretty average. The one, or should I say two things that it had going for it was …
