Let Me In (movie)
“Let Me In” is another one of the movies that I watched recently. I remember seeing it advertising several times before my cable television went, but for some reason, I wasn’t very interested in seeing it. However, it was only after I read about it on someone’s blog where …
The Man in the Iron Mask
I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …

When I finally got around to watching the Butterfly Effect, I found myself pleasantly surprised. It was actually a pretty decent movie. Not the best movie ever made, but one that was pretty good. I liked it well enough, in fact, to encourage to me to …

I’m not really sure …

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
Transformers 2: Revenge of the fallen is a brilliant masterpiece. If you like the first one, you will love the second. The director did an awesome job with this movie. I love how there is more action in this movie rather than the first one. This movie starts you …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
Well, I didn’t think I would end up liking the movie The Time Traveler’s Wife when my wife forced me to watch it last night. But, it turned out to be pretty decent.

“Men who hate women” movie
Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …
Are We Done Yet movie
As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?
Are We Done Yet isn’t anything I haven’t seen before and, other than …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …

Gone Girl (2014 film)

Office Space
Office Space, directed by Mike Judge, the same guy that brought you Bevis and Butthead, shows in a comical way (but yet so close to reality) what it is like to be an engineer working in a cubucle and how certaiin behaviours might effect their professional life.
This is a …
