I had never heard of the British TV series “The Darling Buds of May” until I saw a DVD set available at our local library. Now that I have watched it, I can’t help wondering why this show is so little known; it turned out to be so good.
Based …

I will admit that this movie seemed a little slow to me at first. I had seen the other Zodiac movie (slightly better than a B movie) and this one was much more thorough. Jake Gyllenhaal provided a very believable performance. But overall, I …

Movies dealing with war are usually not my cup of tea but after watching ‘American Sniper’ with friends, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. This was more than just a war movie, this was a movie that explored the intricacies of a man struggling to balance his personal …

This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …

I didn’t expect this movie to be any good, but I admit I was wrong. Even though the story follows a very familiar template - a plain unpopular girl gets transformed into a gorgeous celebrity - the movie has a lot more than that. Mia, the unpopular teenage girl, …

Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …

If you’re thinking about renting a rollercoaster ride of a film, look elsewhere other than “The Marsh.” No offense to the award-winning Forrest Whitaker, or the equally winsome Gabrielle Anwar. In fact, I can’t even say that I didn’t enjoy this movie. …

The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …

Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
