Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!

Movie The Ruins
I was quite disturbed by watching the movie, The Ruins. It is a gore story and in fact, filled with too much gore that made the story loses its plot, personally to me. Honestly speaking, I think this story makes Jeepers Creepers seem like nothingness. But …

Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie

Meet the Spartans DVD

The movie was first released …
Batman
Several years ago, before Christian Bale took over the title role in a re-invention of the franchise, Michael Keaton wore a cape and became Batman. And, even today, this movie (unlike the sequels after it) remains one of my favorite super hero films.
