The Orphanage
I watched a film on DVD recently called The Orphanage. I was attracted to this film for two reasons, one being that it is all in Spanish and I love foreign films, but the other, more important reason, was that it is made by Guillermo Del Toro, the same …
When Harry Met Sally

First Daughter movie
The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …
Shrek the Third
I watched Shrek and Shrek 2 in DVDs, but for Shrek 3, I deservingly thinks that it’s worthwhile to watch in a movie theatre. So, the ones who watched were me, my boyfriend and my 2 brothers. My sister wasn’t interested, so she did not come.

The movie Friday
The movie Friday is a freaking hilarious movie and made me laugh so hard. The beginning of the movie is kind of boring though and the first 20 minutes of the movie sucks to be honest but after that it starts to become real funny. From the beginning of …

The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …
Babylon A.D.

The Wild (movie)

Movie Review: The Ladykillers (2004)
I have just rented “The Ladykillers” 2004, starring Tom Hanks, from our local library and we’ve had a fun evening watching this hilarious comedy. However, I could do with less profanity; hearing the f-word all throughout the movie was rather annoying.
The story is about a gang of criminals lead …

Avatar - 2009 Movie
