Joel and Ethan Coen had their breakthrough back in the 1980s with the most visually original and violent thriller Blood Simple. After that they have amazed the world audience with marvellous films like Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink and The Hudsucker Proxy. In my opinion they have lost some of …

I wanted to write about Avatar while it’s still fresh in my mind. I watched it on December 24, 2009 for a hefty fee of $14.99 (that’s how much it costs to watch a full-blown digital 3D movie these days). On second thought, this cost is not …

I am not exactly a big fan of sequels, so when I heard that they intended to make Hangover 2, I was more than a little skeptical. I absolutely adored The Hangover and it is among my friends’ favourites when it comes to comedy as well. It made me …

The Invention of Lying (Movie)

This is another comedy movie from Seann Williams Scott, I like almost all his movie. In this movie, the Duke of Hazzard is starred by Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, and Jessica Simpson. I like this movie because it’s full of silly unexpected smart things but do with …

From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …

My kids were raised reading comic books, and since my husband likes them I have come to appreciate Marvel movies. My husband’s favotire character is Captain American and we have seen nearly every movie that has come out. The most recent movie that we watched (or rather rented) was …

When I first saw this movie (shortly after it came out on DVD), I thought it was a funny film. Now, …

The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …

Despite its fairly mediocre rating on IMDB, I actually didn’t mind watching the movie “Get Hard”. Since Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were playing the main roles in it, expected something very raunchy and not as funny. However, one or two people I know told me it wasn’t bad. …

A Christmas Carol, 1999, starring Patrick Stewart, has left me disappointed. I love the story, and I thought Stewart could make a good Scrooge, but his performance had not touched me at all.

When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …
