Movie - Why Did I Get Married, Too?
I saw Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” a few years back and, although I don’t think it was a masterpiece, it was still an interesting look at husband-wife relationships.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …
Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.

Alot Like Love (2005 movie)
Love is a complicated matter…and this movie shows just how complicated it can get. Mixed signals…lack of communication…looking for love in all the wrong places…having to make terrible decisions…the list goes on and on. This movie would have done much better if it was just a drama. The comedy …

Movie : XII (2008 Slasher Movie)

The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Many current science fiction movies rely heavily on special effects and don’t always have the best scripts. Those movie producers should do more research into The Day the Earth Stood Still.
