Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …

I admit at the moment I am watching a bit of old teen movies mixed with the more recent ones. I can’t help but compare “Save the last dance 1″ with the more recent movie “Step Up 1″. I personally enjoyed watching more “Save the last dance” than “Step …

Junebug is the kind of film that I really wanted to like. Centering around the son from a middle class family and his wife, this story unfolds easily and doesn’t really require much thought. I was actually disappointed with how dull this movie was. …

The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …

I recently watched this movie. I downloaded it from iTunes. It was fairly priced. The download took quite some time, but I was streaming and downloading at the same time so it didn’t affect me that much. Johnny English is played by Rowan Atkinson, also known as Mr. Bean. …
