Were the Millers (movie)

Movie Death at a Funeral

Teeth (UR, 2007) movie

I don’t know whether to label this story, Maid In Manhattan as being realistic or not because it is very much rare that a rich man would fall in love with someone of a lower status than him, though it’s not impossible. And a maid at that. But …
View from a top movie
“View from the top” is an average movie about making your dreams comes true. It should convey a strong message of empowerment however the film is not that good. This is one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s movies and, may I say, not one of her best since it was a …

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Nim’s Island, adventure-fantasy film

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 …

Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …
