Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …

Normally, when I watch a thriller, I find myself getting a bit bored at some point. After all, the thrills part of it will only last so long.

Knocked Up (UnRated, 2007) movie

Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …
