Movie Once
“Once” is a good musical movie, but could have been better if the shooting of this movie was more on a steady level. I personally watched this film at home and I am grateful because if I ended up watching it at the cinema, I definitely would have felt …

Notes on a Scandal Movie

The movie started with …

Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla had the potential to be an exciting and incredible Godzilla movie in my eyes, but something truly ruined it: the overuse of beam and energy weapons. Godzilla spends a good portion of this movie shooting stuff with his radioactive beam. MechaGodzilla spends a good portion of …
Katie Leung as Cho Chang
I still don’t understand why JK Rowling had insisted that the actress to play Cho Chang had to be an ‘unknown’. There are a lot of Asian actresses around who would have been perfect for the role. I think they made a mistake in choosing her. Aside from not …
Van Helsing
I remember watching Van Helsing at the movies with my then boyfriend and I was holding on his hands so tight because the movie has its elements of scariness to me. It was a good and pretty tight movie and starring the beautiful actress; Kate Beckinsale and also the …

Thirteen Ghosts
The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.

Movie: Fingerprints
When my wife picked out the movie Fingerprints off our Netflix instant watch queue last night, I honestly wasn’t expecting a whole lot from the movie. After all, most of the so-called horror films out there are nothing more than soft-core porn in disguise or think extra blood and …

That Old Feeling (1997 Film)

Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
