Mr. Imperium movie
Mr. Imperium from 1951 was not a movie that I enjoyed overall. I just didn’t like much of it, including the ending, which I found to be depressing. Those who have read many of my movie and TV reviews will know that I prefer happy endings and …
Tom & Jerry: The Fast and the Furry
I know, I probably shouldn’t be letting my daughter watch a cartoon like the extra violent Tom & Jerry. But, she likes it so I let her.

Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.

27 Dresses movie
The best way to describe “27 Dresses” is a similarity to Jennifer Lopez movie “The Wedding Planner” only much, much better. Interesting to know is that the actress, Judy Greer had supporting roles in both movies. Although it is a romantic comedy, “27 Dresses” is an entertaining movie addressed …

Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …

A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
