Movie: Norbit

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000 film)

Bad Santa
This movie is simply disgusting. I don’t know what they were thinking when filming it? Hoping to spoil Christmas for everyone, and especially for kids? The mention of Santa in the title would certainly draw families and kids to see this - and they shouldn’t. The Santa here is …
Gia (movie)
Gia is a movie about the deceased supermodel, Gia Carangi. Gia is played by Angelina Jolie, and while I am not a personal fan of Angelina Jolie, she does a marvelous performance. Gia is such a troubled soul, from the very start. Gia is not only a smart talking, …

Movie Hitch
“Hitch” represents Will Smith’s attempt at romantic fiction and, may I add, not a bad attempt at all! This movie meant a lot for the actors, Eva Mendez and Kevin James because afterwards they received more challenging roles.

The cult declared film from the early 1930s by Tod Browning was before its time with the story it tells. A circus companionship with “freaks” travels around together.

Avatar 3D (2009, James Cameron)
I love this film.
I had heard a few grumbles about the ‘lack of plot’ and that watching 3D was tiring and made some people feel sick, and that the effects ruled the film and became too much.
Stuff and nonsense.
First of all, yes - the 3D glasses are not …

18 Year Old Virgin movie
Yeah, I should have expected as much. I decided to watch the movie 18-year-old Virgin in the hopes that maybe it would be a surprise “American Pie” like movie. Instead, it was a piece of garbage that wasn’t much more than a really bad porn film.
The movie has an …

Raising Waylon movie
I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …
