I have no problem admitting that I actually like Lindsay Lohan, or at least I like her as an actress even if I don’t care for her personality or partying. I actually like her as a singer too, which is why I think it’s a little sad to see …

Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.
This is one of the earlier James Bond sequels and therefore features the super handsome Sean Connery in the lead. It does lack some of the refined touched that we came to enjoy in the newer sequels such as …

Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …

ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …

Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …
