Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
Good Neighbors Movie (2010)

“Wanted” is the most recent Angelina Jolie success movie. Although this is labelled a Jolie movie, in reality “Wanted” is all about the actor, James McAvoy and the director, Timur Bekmambetov great talents! This movie was very much well received by critics and the general public.
It is very difficult …
The Haunted Mansion movie

Matrix the movie
Matrix the first part, of course, called just The Matrix is my favourite move, later the move becomes just to naive and simple to me, we all knew how ill the tird part finish, didn’t we?

Love and Death (1972) Movie
Love and Death is a very silly 1972 movie written and directed by the fantastic Woody Allen and I just re-watched it yet again. It cheered me up for at least three days after watching it, especially as the scene —˜No, you must be Don Fransisco’s sister’ kept …

Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
Drive (2011 movie)

This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …
Confessions of a Shopaholic

However, the …

Then She Found Me (starring Helen Hunt)
Then She Found Me stars Helen Hunt and it’s not that bad a movie. I believe that most women can relate to watching this story about how worrying their biological clock ticking tends to be and at the same time, not wanting a baby yet. Bu everything starts …
