Jackie Brown
Quentin Tarantino takes a different route than usual with his third cinematic outing. His trademark humour and dialogue is still there, but things are a lot more casual and linear than his previous efforts.

Knight of Cups (2016 Film)

The Nannies Diary

The Mississippi Gambler (1953)

As I grew up with the animated series ,Im quite confused how was the story pulled off in the movie. But i have to give Michael Bay a two thumbs up. Despite the monumental different storyline between the animated and movie version, it has surpassed my delights to see …
Cinema Paradiso (1988 film)
This film made me cry. Maybe because I’m prone to nostalgia or maybe because I’ve always loved cinema, and “Cinema Paradiso” (”Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” by its original Italian title) is both a movie steeped in nostalgia and a movie obviously made by a lover of the movies.
The story of …

Noises Off movie
Noises Off
This is what I consider to be one of the best and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A Broadway play gone wrong. If you were sitting in a front row seat, you couldn’t help but to just die laughing. When it comes to stage plays …
Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem

Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …
