The Boss of it All
The Boss of it All is a movie that I love watching. It is very goofy, and makes fun of the corporate industry, and what really goes on inside. It targeted and has a sarcastic message to those bosses who have it all, and making wry decisions.

Bewitched movie
I must admit that I enjoy watching the director, Nora Ephron movies. She gave us great romantic comedies, such “When Harry meet Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You Have Got Mail”. I feel that she lost her magic touch in this movie and it is no wonder that the …

Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …
