Gandhi (1982)
I really admired the movie Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. From the boring history books that I read from high school and from classroom discussions that did not give me as much information as I need, the personality that I had been curious about finally came to …
School of Rock
I don’t normally like the actor Jack Black in movies, and I don’t normally like his movies either. In fact, one of the few which I remember liking was “Saving Silverman”. This is why I found it so difficult to watch the movie “School of Rock” after it was …
Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …
Wedding Crashers
The movie “Wedding Crashers” is the film that made the actors, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn very much famous. It is thanks to this extraordinary movie that both actors moved on in working on more demanding and challenging roles.

Sky High movie
Sky High really surprised me. I thought it would be a totally silly movie with crude humor. Well, it is silly, but it’s fun silly, the way good, old fashioned comedy used to be, and that’s why I like it. Sky High is in a reality …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …

The Creeping Man
I am reviewing The Creeping Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …

Shinobi
Shinobi is a japanese movie but depending on where you get it, it comes with english subs (in my case, thai and chinese were available also). Shinobi actually means ninja. It’s your typical movie of two ninja tribes going against each other but the boy and girl from different …
Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
DNANgel Episode 3 (Anime)

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 11
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 11 which is titled the Q and the gray was a very interesting yet odd episode for Voyager. I remember when Janeway first encountered the Q in a previous episode but never realized that he sort of holds a certain amount of fascination …
Film Some Kind of Wonderful
Viewed by many as a gender switched redo of John Hughes and Howard Deutch previous collaboration Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful is so much more than this and it is a kind of unfair label.
The stories and characters are much different. Whereas, Pretty in Pink focused on …
Fred Claus
I watched “Fred Claus” today with my family. It was an overall pretty good movie. I wouldn’t give it a ten or anything but it is worth watching, especially around the holidays and Christmas. It has Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamitti, Kevin Spacey, and Kathy Bates. You would think with …

Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …
