The Longest Day
Arguably, the best war film ever to be made. I believe it was filmed in 1962. Big names like, John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery to name a few, starred in this black & white movie.
What intrigued me the most about this flick was that the Americans/British spoke …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …

High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
