Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol
With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …
Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …

The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
Movie Cars
I love the Pixar movie Cars, as does my almost three year old daughter. Cars is my second favorite movie in the Pixar lineup, behind only the Incredibles. I’m still trying to figure out where to put Wall-E in the list.
What’s there not to love about Cars? …
28 Weeks Later The Movie
Another zombie movie that has its mind boggling puzzle on how it started because nobody explained what really happened as the movie started when the virus has been contained and has spread through out the land.

Independence Day, Wild. Wild West, Men in Black, I Robot, I legend. Main ingredient Will Smith plus flat imagination, lots of special effects. I fell asleep, I felt ripped off. There were dramatic moderately high points in the movie. The scripts were not original, Smith …

I Can Do Bad All By Myself (PG13, 2009)

Movie The DaVinci Code
I was apprehensive about watching ‘The DaVinci Code’ as books turned into movies rarely translate well to the big screen. I must admit, though, that I was pleasantly surprised.
Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a professor of cryptology, who is the chief suspect in the murder of Jacques …
Fever Pitch movie

Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …
Ratatouille
Ok … this is another cute mouse movie by Disney. It’s quite alright … but I don’t think it was geared towards a wide enough audience. I thought it was so cute; the mouse cooking for the guy who wanted to be chef; and the transformation the chef made …

Dead or Alive
Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …
An American Crime (R, 2007) movie

Bad Teacher 2011 movie

The Addiction
The Addiction is a movie about vampires. It seems as if lately, in the last twenty years or so, there is a great interest in portraying vampires on the big screen, but not necessarily in the way that the older films used to. Maybe it started with spoofing Dracula, …
The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …
Richie Rich
“Richie Rich” is one of the most known movies for the actor, Macaulay Culkin but his acting skills in this movie are in no way comparable to the “Home Alone” movies. Culkin has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for his interpretation in this movie.

Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

The Pit (movie)

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy.
