A favourite in small film festivals, and winner of several awards, the movie Boy A lives up to all the hype. The story is powerful, and the actor who plays the lead role, Andrew Garfield, is brilliant, especially considering this is his first big film. This is one of …
Primeval
There was something missing with this film. I know that it followed lots of formulas about somet kind of big monster lurking in the exotic wilderness of a foreign land. As usual, there is the requisite bunch of diverse “scientists/explorers/writers” (pick one) with the ONE beautiful …

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace doesn’t exactly strike me as the movie that fans really expected Lucas to make following the original three films. The way that Lucas released his movies makes it slightly hard to connect them all, assuming Episode 2 and 3 are currently missing, …

Gidget (TV Series)

Movie Music and Lyrics

Thr3e movie
Have any of you heard that a movie is out based on Ted Dekker’s Christian novel “Thr3e”? I didn’t think so. For some reason, Christian movies aren’t advertised wide enough, and this new 2007 release by FoxFaith is no exception. Besides, it was only played in some theaters, and …
Mamma Mia! movie
From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …

Movie Monsters Inc

Movie : Dolan’s Cadillac (2009)
