He goes in the movie so well. I would not be able to imagine anyone else playing the …
Gaslight (1944)
I have just watched this fantastic old black and white movie, Gaslight, starring the wonderful Ingrid Bergman as Paula, a woman nearly driven out of her mind by her husband in a bid to get his hands on her fortune. Bergman won her first Oscar in this role …
Legally Blonde 1
Legally Blonde is all about a clumsy-in-love woman named Elle Woods who did everything against all odds to prove that she’s got both beauty and brains. I kinda love this movie although it gets a little corny sometimes with some scenes about her crying over her boyfriend who already …

Constantine (2005)
This movie is quite disappointing. It really leads human thinking to nowhere. It’s simple as this, if you’re not for heaven, you go to hell. There are only two destinations. But this movie gives an exception to one man. There is no such thing …
Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.

November Man (thriller movie)
The trailer for November Man didn’t make it come off as something that I would want to see in the theatres. For some reason, it just felt as if the movie wouldn’t be very good. However, when I watched it, even though I didn’t think it was great, it was …

Rock Rock Rock! movie
Rock Rock Rock! from 1956 is one of those movie musicals that is more like an excuse to show off the music of the day. The plot is thin and barely there, put in the back seat to the various songs that are sung.
Below are some thoughts on …

Proof
I normally like movies Anthony Hopkins has a role in. Unfortunately, the movie Proof didn’t have enough of him to make it any good.
Hopkins plays a former math genius who is battling senility but the movie centers around his daughter (Gwenneth Paltrow) who has to cope with not only …
The Monster Squad, comedy horror film by Fred Dekker

Never Been Kissed movie
Normally, when I see a movie that has Drew Barrymore in it, I enjoy it tremendously.

I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.

Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
