Children of Men

Sex and the City (2008)

Roger & me
This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …

Norbit (2007)

Ever After movie
I am surprised that this movie is not better known. I’ve never heard of it, until I happened to see the videotape at our public library and decided to check it out. “A Cinderella Story,” the subtitle said. Well, I thought, that can be a good and a bad …
Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …

Holiday Wishes movie
I love to watch a good Christmas movie, and goodness knows, I’ve watched a ton, but even so, I have to admit that this 2006 TV movie, Holiday Wishes, is just a so-so film that doesn’t really emit any emotions of consequence. It’s a filler with mostly mediocre …
