As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …

I am not an Eddie Murphy fan. I wasn’t fond of him back in the days of Saturday Night Live, and I have never liked his comedy bits. He’s way too out of my comfort zone for acceptable and appropriate comedy. That said, the best thing …

The 2008 film, “The Happening”, staring Mark Wahlberg, Zoe Deschanel and John Leguizamo was a film that while as unrealistic as it could be, was strangely entertaining and a little bit frightening. This film portrayed the world as it would be if chaos struck, and when I mean chaos …

I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.

Written by Anthony Burgess in 1962, the film came out in 1971 and was directed by the late Stanley Kubrick, my personal favorite. With stunning visuals shot from all angles, Kubrick managed to take this story to a higher level. The book and the movie, however, have entirely different endings.
I …

I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.

This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …

This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
