Mommy (2014 Canadian Drama Film)
Most often than not, small films like this one gets buried in a year full of blockbusters. Which is probably the reason why I was not able to watch this the year it was released. Admittedly, 3 years ago, I was not too much of a fan of smaller movies. …
Clueless with Alicia Silverstone
This film is definitely a chick flick. And not only that, it’s definitely for high school girls. While it was made quite a few years ago, it’s still funny to think about the two girls and their interesting perspectives on life and what is important in life. Especially for …
The New Daughter movie
I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …

After the Sunset
I don’t hear much about this movie, so I assume it didn’t get much attention when it was released and not many people know about it. In fact, I can remember when I first saw it being aired on a cable television movie channel, I wondered how come I …

Three monkeys movie

Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.

Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
