What Happens in Vegas, romantic comedy film
It is usually a safe bet to put Ashton Kutcher in a movie and see big numbers. The same goes for Cameron Diaz. What Happens in Vegas didn’t exactly change the way we view comedy movies, but it was enough to earn almost a hundred million dollars in box …

Notting Hill,1999 movie

The Company of Wolves (1984)
This is a unique werewolf movie based on “Red Riding Hood” and one I enjoyed watching. Angela Landsbury is the star and she does a wonderful job of playing the girl’s grandmother. Based on the clothing the characters wear, the story is set during Pilgrim days except it takes …

Movie : The Uninvited (2009)

The pacing of this movie is …

Thinking XXX (NR, 2004) documentary

The Devil & Daniel Webster Movie
You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
