Miss Potter (2006) starring Renee Zellweger
This 2007 movie “Miss Potter” is, as the tagline says, “the most enchanting tale of all.” The color movie is in English and runs for 92 minutes. Much of the movie was filmed on location in East Sussex, England. The movie is rich with scenery and beautiful landscapes that …
Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …
Bloodrayne
I love vampire movies so it should be a bit surprising I didn’t get around to watching the film Bloodrayne until tonight.
The movie was OK but not as good as I thought it would be.
The problem with movies based on video games is they tend to assume you actually …
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie
Is the newest Pirates Movie worth watching? A resounding yes! I saw it on the opening day. The Movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth installment of the Pirates Saga.

Love Affair movie

Taken (Movie)
This movie is an absolute fantastic one! It has a very simple plot which made me think it was too boring and way too ordinary, but when my friends and family urged me to watch this I finally did and was so awed with Liam Neeson here! The movie …
Son of the Mask (Movie 2005)
Just when you thought that it was safe to back into the water, dun dun…dun dun…dun dun…the had to go ahead and spoil a perectly good original movie with the crappy “Son of the Mask”. Tell me, why did they feel the need to create a sequel, was it …
The Whole Nine Yards
“The Whole Nine Yards” is all out the acting abilities of Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette. It is truly unbelievable that Perry was very scared to interpret Nicholas Oseransky in the this movie due to the fact that he was very intimidated by Willis and didn’t know …
A Prophet (movie)

Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.

Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …
The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan
Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …

RV (Robin Williams) movie

Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
