La La Land 2016 Film (PG-13)
The old saying, “They don’t make them like they used to” was just proven false. I just saw La La Land and it upholds the quality of the golden age of movies. Movies when they were art. Movies when they took effort and talent and time. Not the modern mindless …

Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked 2011 Movie
After the first two Chipmunk films, I was a little weary of the theme of the Chipmunks and the Chipettes being lost on a desert island. That was the theme for the Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked released in 2011. The theme of being lost of deserted island has …

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie

House Of Voices
Speaking of horror and haunting movies, this one title, House Of Voices sits in the list of mine as being pretty boring and bland. I’ve watched it with my friends and if I’m not mistaken, this movie was before 2005 or 2006.
The story is about this particular woman who …
Dukes of Hazzard
From the previews, the movie, Dukes of Hazzard, looks absolutely stupid and something I would never watch in a million years.

Spanglish

“Funny games” movie
Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …
