The 400 Blows (1959 Classic Film)
I have recently been introduced in world cinema with this Francois Truffaut film, and to my surprise, I seriously love this masterful class of work. At first, it seems like just a typical film that I keep on ignoring every time my television plays some black and white film, …
Quartet (film)
The film is set in an eloquent retirement facility in Britain. The facility is a niche facility since it caters to musicians who are retired. That said the theme of the film evolves around two sub-themes of sorts. One sub-theme is about prior Operatic performers who …

Intimate Agony movie
When Intimate Agony aired originally back in 1983, it was quite the controversial film. It received a lot of attention at the time, not just for the subject matter, but for the primary stars. The two were the daytime divas of the day, Anthony Geary and Judith …
Angels and Demons the Movie

17 Again movie
WHen I saw the movie “17 Again” advertising earlier on this year, I had no intention of watching it for several reasons. The main one was because the lead actor was supposed to be the Disney actor Zac Effron who is famous for movies such as High School Musical …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
The Duchess
This is one historical movie that I found very fascinating even though it was a drama. It stars Kierra Knightly (Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean) and she does an expert job of playing the lead role of the Duchess. To make matters even more interesting, the story …

Wolf Of Wall Street, movie
It wouldn’t sound too strange to say that The Wolf of Wall Street is in fact an adaptation of the classic 70s song Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, perhaps without the —˜Rock and Roll’. Scorsese’s latest 3 hour film is an indulgent look at the life of Jordan …
The Lobster (2015 Film)
Never in my life had I felt very weird and astonished at the same time after watching a film. A lot of times I felt very weird and strange though, one after watching Paolo Sorrentino’s 2015 film Youth, however, not feeling astonished at the same but rather awkward and looking …

The 10th Kingdom miniseries/movie
Maybe I’m a little late in reviewing “The 10th Kingdom” miniseries, but seeing as it’s the ten year anniversary of when it aired on NBC, I figured I’d share my thoughts. I recently watched the DVD of “The 10th Kingdom”, and it’s the first time I’ve seen the movie …

The Breakup Artist (2009 Film)
The romance comedy that was first on TV in the year 2009 called “The Breakup Artist” may not be considered one to go down in history, it is a very cute and adorably funny film that can really be entertaining. With the great group of actors and actresses that …
Alpha Dog (R, 2006) movie
Justin Timberlake is of course, the draw for this film. But he’s not really the one who makes the most impact. I liked that he was in it. And for some reason, I felt that it wasn’t too far a stretch from how he really acts …
Friday the 13th Part 2
Friday the 13th part 2 is the film that really brings the series to life. The first movie was all about the mother seeking revenge on what she perceived to be the culprits behind her son’s death. With her character out of the way, we could finally get down …
Film Watchmen
I saw ‘Watchmen’ at a local IMAX theatre and the film really scores a 100% rating for presentation. It’s slick, glossy and packed with imaginative set pieces and special effects. The story on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I never read the graphic novel by …
In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …

Watchmen

Bringing to life the characters from the comic strip to the movies was quite good. Though I really do not like the skin …
My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997 Movie)
I just watched my Best Friend’s Wedding again - I haven’t seen it since it came out. The initial thought that struck me was omigod! the clothes. I had to watch this just to remember what the clothes looked like and how giant cell phones were back then. (Seriously. …

Easter Parade movie
Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
Oddly, though, I’m not a huge fan of Easter …
Disney’s Johnny Appleseed
The first time I saw this Disney short movie, was in elementary school, in the cafeteria, where many a film was shown. This was the most memorable of those films.
Not a very long film, it was one of Disney’s best short features originating in the 40s and 50s. There …
The Eye
Most of the time, when I watch a so-called thriller, I find it to be more boring than scary. In fact, I usually find myself laughing at scenes that should be terrifying me.
This wasn’t the case with the movie The Eye. I have to say, after watching it last …

Sex and the City (2008)
OK, let us see what this movie has in store for the poor viewers such as us. To start off with, in my estimation, why the hell was this even put into production? As if the series was not torturous enough, now we have to be subjected to this …
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Valkyrie movie
Before I rented “Valkyrie” last night, I decided that it might be good, despite my dislike of Tom Cruise, because it has two things going for it that I like: it is based on a true story, and it is set during WW2, and I am a big fan …
