Don’t make the mistake to relegate the movie “21″ as just another movie focused on poker, because you will make one big error. The movie “21″ has the right recipe to attract audience from different generations to watch it because it includes drama, romance and hype.

I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …

Supposedly a remake of a 1972 comedy, this 2007 release is a vulgar R-rated flick packed with obscenities, gross-out humor, and no wits whatsoever. Prolonged scenes of rough sex are supposed to be funny, as well as disgusting smirks at bestiality. The major plot line is the same: a …
