Movie : 3000 Miles to Graceland
3000 Miles to Graceland is a comedic action movie starring Courteney Cox, Kurt Russell, and Kevin Costner. It is a mindless shoot I’m a movie with some genuinely funny moments. The best part of the movie was that it didn’t take itself too seriously —“ there was a serious …

Then She Found Me (starring Helen Hunt)

Wi-heom-han gyan-gye (Dangerous Liaisons) movie
By and large, in Asian cinema, you can attempt to make a dramatic romance by either appealing to a localized sense of humour than might make it seem more uplifting, or you can pursue an angle popularized by Wong Kar Wai and heighten the drama using boiling stifled passion …
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Everything was right about this film: cast, crew, settings, story. It had all the elements of success, and enough going on in each scene to ensure repeated viewings over the years. I am one of those repeaters, and now, one of my sons has joined me in naming Who …
War of the Worlds 2 Movie
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn’t exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures …

Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …

Premonition
OK, I’ll admit it, when I rented the movie Premonition, I didn’t think it was going to be anything special. I mean, it looked creepy enough, but most movies do in the previews and then suck.
But, after watching it, I’ll admit it; I was definitely a little bit spooked …

Agatha Christie’s Murder at the Gallop movie
I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …
Shiver (NR, 2008) film
Those who like horror films that have a creepy subtlety will absolutely love this film. Yes, it’s a foreign film with subtitles. But that doesn’t make any of the action in this movie less frightening. The story centers on a boy who moves to …

Open Water 2
This is a surprisingly good sequel. What made it good was how it diverged from the original. The main danger in Open Water was the ever present threat of shark attack. In Open Water 2, the writer and director cleverly play on the expectation …
Tron Legacy, Movie
For the sake of candidness I ought to state that I am a big fan of Daft Punk and the original Tron Movie. It is therefore with some bias that I entered the cinema to see Tron Legacy, which announces the arrival of Joseph Kosinski as a new director.

Film “Grownups” (2010)

Beastly (2011 Film)
The 2011 film “Beastly” starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer and Mary-Kate Olsen, was in a few words—¦a magically romantic success. This film is based on Alex Finn’s 2007 novel that is basically a modern day version of “Beauty and the Beast”. Not only did this film capture the morals …
Fever Lake (1996) movie

Final Destination 5 (movie)
Final Destination 5 is supposed to be the final installment of the series, and hopefully for movie goers such as me, the studio actually means it. This film was probably the second worst movie of the franchise with its predictable plot and obvious scene transitions in the movie.
The movie …
Album : Metallica - Master of Puppets (1986)

The Wackness (R, 2008) film
