Just Like Heaven movie
I watch Just like Heaven when I was flipping through channels and saw Resse Witherspoon, whose movies I love, mainly her chick flicks. I thought Just like heaven’s story line was unconventional and yet hard to believe although a bit eager to want to have. I did however end …

Adventureland (2009) Movie
If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …
Rendition
“Rendition” is a great movie about terrorism and justice. This is a movie that touches your heart and makes you cry, but most importantly makes you think about the world we are living in. I truly hope that this movie receives several awards because it truly deserves it.

Ocean’s 13
Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.
The problem that I have had with every …

Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated.
