Memoirs of a Geisha
Another Cinderella story with a cultural relevance is Memoirs of a Geisha, a movie adaptation of Arthur Golden’s best selling novel. If there is anyone who is into cultural immersion and intense drama, then I recommend this movie.
The movie follows the story of Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), a young girl …

Jennifer’s Body movie
Well, we finally rented the movie Jennifer’s Body last night. As expected, the film was an OK movie and we got reminded of just how sexy Megan Fox really is. But, I have to say the movie also proved to be a bit of a disappointment.
The plot involving Fox …
102 Dalmations movie

children’s movie as well as I did …

I am also a twilight fan and came to love the book, the characters and the movie itself. I never miss to watch each of its episodes when it came out. The best Twilight Series that I’m so into is the Eclipse.
I think among the three episodes the last …
The Road (John Hillcoat, 2010) movie
This is one of those movies that I would rate pretty highly, but can’t actually recommend. You would recommend a film by saying something like “Yeh, it’s great - go see it.” or ‘Yeh, it’s really funny” or “Yeh, it’s really romantic and sweet” etc etc.
For The Road I …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie

Bewitched movie
I must admit that I enjoy watching the director, Nora Ephron movies. She gave us great romantic comedies, such “When Harry meet Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You Have Got Mail”. I feel that she lost her magic touch in this movie and it is no wonder that the …

Movie The Descent
Normally, if a horror movie is made in Britain, I find myself bored very quickly. But, I have to admit the film The Descent was actually pretty decent.
I’m still not sure about the premise, a group of women bonding by exploring an unexplored cave. But, I have to admit, …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …

I’ve Been Waiting for You movie
When it comes to horror movies, there are truly scary films and ones that rely solely on blood and gore. Then there are movies that have neither and are quite bad. Unfortunately, “I’ve Been Waiting for You” falls into this final category.
Set in Massachusetts, the movie revolves around a …
One Hour Photo movie
“One Hour Photo” is the movie that caused people to view Robin Williams from an entirely different perspective. I (like dozens of others) am used to seeing Robin in his typical comedic roles. I have seen him perform in touching dramas, and love stories. So to …

Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …

Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
Knight of Cups (2016 Film)
I had a really tough time getting through Terrence Malick’s well-known film The Tree of Life when it was released. The first time I watched it I didn’t lasted for 15 minutes. I immediately turned it off because I thought it was nothing but a pretentious show-off. I kept hearing …
The Last Airbender Movie (2010)
