Movie Rudy
Rudy is, in my opinion, tied for first with Remember the Titans as the greatest football movie of all time. Rudy is a movie that tugs on every emotion you have. The film draws us in and it has to do with the amazing film making. …

Confessions of a Shopaholic

However, the …
Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)

Disney’s Robin Hood (1973)
“Robin Hood” is not my favorite Disney animated feature. In fact, the main reason why I like it at all is the narrator, a rooster / minstrel with the voice of Roger Miller, who also composed the songs that he sings to move the story along.
The bunnies …
The Game Plan
I am definitely convinced that The Rock could really act in comedy movies. One of the proofs for that? The movie, The Game Plan. This is indeed a good feel movie story to watch, especially if you did catch it in the cinemas before with your whole …

The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …
Julie & Julia film
While watching this film, I was thinking that someone really interested in cooking could probably enjoy it more than me, since the film it’s mostly about good food, cooking as a hobby, or cooking as a passion. It might make you want to cook, or try the recipes. However, …
Wild Guitar movie
What initially got my attention when the 1962 film Wild Guitar began was a shot of Revue Studios, which produced my favorite show of all time, Laramie. I’d never seen the Revue building and knowing a bit about Los Angeles, this gave me an idea of where it …

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)

“Desperado” was one of those films which I had put off seeing for a very long time. Even though I did not know what it was about, I somehow felt that it might resemble too much of one of those Stephen Segal flicks I hated watching. I also was …
Film The Bank Job
The Bank Job is a retread of the tried and tested, ‘caper film with likable London criminals’ formula, in the same vain as the Italian Job, but with more banking, and no Michael Caine.
Now, although it has no new ideas there are good things about this film, not the …

Blazing Saddles
Let’s face it. So much of Blazing Saddles is so politically incorrect that you’d need several fingers and toes to count the instances. But I don’t think it is a matter of contention with this film. If you take a step back, I think you’ll find Mel Brooks’ intentions …
