DVD Kippur
I watched the movie “Kippur” as part of my “trying to understand the Middle East” efforts. I’m not sure what affects watching the movie had on that, but it reinforced my belief that governments are inefficient and self-serving and that war is the supreme human lunacy.

Herbie Fully Loaded
Growing up, I was a die hard Herbie fan. So, when they made another Herbie movie, starring Lindsay Lohan, I had to watch it because… it was Herbie!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much. I thought they would probably deviate too far from the original genius of the …
My Fair Lady movie
One of the most classical musicals of all time is the marvelous My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. I can’t even imagine anyone but Harrison in this movie. I’m so used to his style of talk-singing that it all seems very logical and natural …
Movie Superman Returns

Shakespeare in Love,1998 movie
This movie is typical Hollywood fluff, with overdone “passion” and sexing. The storyline is okay; it could have been a decent movie if it was done right. Shakespeare, played by Joseph Fiennes, is struggling with a writing crisis, he thinks he has lost his gift and searches for a …

I love Asian movies; I liked mostly the horror movies, the likes of “The Shutter, “The Eye”, among others. It was just recently that my brother has downloaded an anime series called the death note. It was a bit long, too long for me to actually sit down and …
The Golden Compass movie

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004 movie)

Movie: The Last Song
I’m not really sure how the movie The Last Song got on my Netflix list but it ended up coming in the mail the other day. Personally, I think my wife must have added it because, while I don’t dislike Miley Cyrus, the movie sounded a heck of a …

Dracula Untold is a 2014 action, drama and fantasy movie directed by Gary Shore. After knowing it’s title I thought it would be some sort of vampire horror movie, but after I watched the trailer it didn’t seemed scary to me at all. In fact, I found the movie to …

Lord of War Movie Staring Nicholas Cage

As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?

Captivity movie

Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
Mummy 3
I watched Mummy 3 movie yesterday with my friends. I thought I would share my opinions here.
The storyline of this movie is indeed good. It is based on ancient China. It even involves the building of the great wall of China. It is not a sequel to the other …
“When in Rome” (2010 Film)

For what is supposed to be a comedy I suggest you bring a box of tissues.
A desire Im sure everyone shares is to be able to stop time, or skip through unpleasant events, and even to turn the volume down on life. It is those exact deisres that Click …
“To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962)
