James Cameron’s Avatar
Avatar is my favorite movie that I’ve watched all year. Heck, it might even be my all-time favorite. Critics say that it lacks plot, but I highly disagree. Who cares if it’s cliche? All that matters is that the story is well told.
The movie is about an ex-Marine, Jake …

Pleasantville movie
‘Pleasantville’ It’s one of those marvellous old movies which are worth watching a couple of times. The idea behind the plot seems almost like a clichee two teenage siblings: calm and inhibited David and his neurotic sister Jennifer, are transferred by the weird godlike figure …
The Accidental Husband

The Nice Guys (2016 Buddy-Comedy Film)
I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …

Rush Hour 3

The movie is basically for kids. The main characters were presented in a ‘cute’ manner. The …
Robin Hood movie
Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …

I think “I am legend” is one of the quiet movies, because along the first hour, i just saw a will smith as the center of this movie. It seems that he is the only actor in this movie. In the scene, he shows his self centered. The script …

“Men who hate women” movie
