The film is set in an eloquent retirement facility in Britain. The facility is a niche facility since it caters to musicians who are retired. That said the theme of the film evolves around two sub-themes of sorts. One sub-theme is about prior Operatic performers who …
Chocolat
Remember the movie Chocolat? I would have to say that this was one of my most favorite movies during the early millenium period. Starring Juliette Binoche (nice name), Alfred Molina, Judi Dench and other cast, this movie is a success. The storyline goes roughly around the main …
Mother and son movie
This is a film by the russian cinematic artist Alexandr Sokurov and tell a very slow story about a young man and his sick mother. Sokurov paints his film in stunningly beautiful images and overall I think this feels more like observing a painting than seeing a film, but …

Cabin Fever movie
36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.

I’m not usually a huge fan of romantic comedies. They’re OK but I get bored with them quickly because they usually have the same basic plot.

Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora.

Terminator Salvation (2009)

Last Holiday 2006 movie
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times now; it’s decent. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you think of and then you HAVE to see it, but it’s a pleasant movie to watch if it happens to be on.
