Zoom
When the movie Zoom came out, it had two strikes against it in my opinion. First, it was about a bunch of kids with super powers; something that has been done way too many times in my opinion. Secondly, it starred Tim Allen. I like his stand up comedy. …

Alfred Hitchcock’s ROPE (1948)

Poetry: A film by Lee Chang-Dong (2010)

The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …

In today’s society of “I”, “me” and “myself”, 7 Pounds is a story of selflessness. The film stars Hollywood star Will Smith as he went on to give “himself” to 7 deserving individuals as penance for the seven lives he destroyed in a freak accident.
Aside from the Pursuit …

Shakespeare in Love,1998 movie

Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …
Movie: Fingerprints
When my wife picked out the movie Fingerprints off our Netflix instant watch queue last night, I honestly wasn’t expecting a whole lot from the movie. After all, most of the so-called horror films out there are nothing more than soft-core porn in disguise or think extra blood and …
Movie Orphan
I really feel like wanting to smack right out of this kid, Esther. The movie is not in a horror genre but more to gory. Orphan the movie, is unexpected and you will be surprised at the revelation. I’m not going to tell you what it is …
Rowan Atkinson
I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …
Johnny Dangerously movie
