“Mean Creek” (R, 2004) movie

Anatomy Movie

I have waited a long time for someone to make a DragonLance movie. I would have preferred a live-action film but this movie is animated. Still, it follows the novel pretty well. This movie is not perfect but it is very viewable, especially if you’re not too fussy.
All …
50/50 (movie)
With some of my favourite actors like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen featuring as the main characters in the movie “50 50″. The expectations were high, because both of these had done exceptionally well in the previous movies.
