Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …

Autopsy: Postmortem with Dr. Michael Baden (UR, 2008)

The Matrix Reloaded movie
I actually thought that The Matrix was a done deal…no sequels involved (boy was i wrong). Reloaded came to stir up more trouble for our guys in shiney leather and dark glasses. What is there to say about this installation of The Matrix saga…other than it’s long, it’s dull, …
Movie Untraceable

The film was about Sarah Geronimo …
The Screaming Woman,1972 movie

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
This movie is a good movie but it just didn’t have something. I think that’s what they call ‘B’ movies. But those ‘B’ movies sure are fun to watch ! I love how this kind of wedding is depicted; all of the family, the traditions, etc. I love how …
Inherit the Wind
At the heart of this film is a powerful controversy, one that still inspires heated debates today. On trial in this movie is not just a teacher’s right to teach certain subjects, but our right as American citizens to freedom of speech and freedom of choice.
Certain characters, mainly townsfolk, …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …
