Fool’s Gold

Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie
From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …
Hoodwinked movie
When I first saw the previews for Hoodwinked on television I thought it would be a lousy film. But, after giving it a try, I now feel it is a movie I would be glad to add to my collection.
Giving “The Other Story” to the Little Red Riding Hood …
Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …
A of “The Social Network” (2010 film)

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 …

Waterboy
When the movie Waterboy first came out, it was one of my favorite movies. But, after watching it quite a few times, both on DVD and on TV, I’m coming to realize it really isn’t that great of a film after all.
Adam Sandler is funny in it and I …

Shallow Hal movie
Shallow Hal is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jack Black stars as Hal the shallow guy who only cares about a woman’s body. I gotta say the movie made me laugh. The past where he said tells him to get a woman …

Snatch Movie
A british comedy from director Guy Ritchie is a classic masterpiece of movie making. Action, comedy and revenge are the spices that bring this movie to life. Even with non British actors such as Brad Pitt playing a bare knuckle, incoherent Scotsman. With underground boxing, British hitmen, a Russian …
The Rocketeer
With all the movies about comic book action heroes that have been coming out lately, one that has been out for some time might be easily forgotten.

Bill Campbell does an …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)

The Kings of Mykonos (2010 film)
This is an Australian production filmed in the famous Mykonos island, in Greece. As long as you do not form high expectations about it in advance you might have some fun with it.
The plot itself is not a big deal. An Aussie of Greek origin inherits a big deal …
Bad and Beautiful (1952)
“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000 film)

A Sound of Thunder
A Sound Of Thunder with Edward Burns and Ben Kingsley.

Thor (2011) Movie

The Jackal movie
The interesting thing about the movie “The Jackal” is that you end up liking both Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. Even though Willis interprets an evil character in this movie, you can’t help liking him for his great acting skills. I must also say that Gere has been equally …
What Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath is a very good movie. It is not really a supernatural story, but it plays with emotions, feelings, a bit of haunting feeling and lots of gutsy, instinct-feelings of a wife, in the end to realize that she is living with not just a cheating …
Young At Heart
I recommend everyone to watch this, Young At Heart. This is something that I would recommend any senior citizen to watch. As we grow old, we become more sensitive and prone to feelings that we might not succumb to should we are young.
This movie is about a group …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …
After Innocence
How can a man survive twenty years in prison for a crime he can’t commit is hard to understand but how to move past wrongful imprisonment is even harder. After Innocence is the story of men who have been set free due to DNA evidence and what happens to …
