I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …

I recently rented the movie Running Scared with Paul Walker from Blockbuster. I completely recommend this movie for almost everybody! The only people who might not like it are those who don’t like a little violence. IT is a great ‘mobster’ type of movie revolving around Paul …

Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …

I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …

Our youngest daughter took a late nap yesterday evening and, as a result, didn’t want to go to bed at her usual hour.
Rather than fight her, I decided to stay up with her and got some movie watching in at the same time.
Last night was the first time I …

Recently I watched a suspense movie named “Unthinkable”. One of the main reasons why it stood out was because it was more of a psychological thriller. I thought that this was unique since basic plots like these which have terrorist and the United States military tend to have a …

The WaterBoy is a great Adam Sandler film! I loved this movie the very day I saw it in the theater. It is a great movie and one of the best ever made in my view. I think this movie will last through the ages and will make families laugh …

Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)

Some women find themselves stranded …

I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”

I’m usually a big Christopher Reeve fan but seeing his 1980 film “Somewhere in Time” yesterday was a serious disappointment for me.

I still remember that day in October, 2013 when Gravity opened in cinemas and I was one of the first people who saw it on its opening day. The cinema was rather surprisingly empty, mimicking the vast space where this film was mostly set. It became a box-office phenomenon a …

Oklahoma is a sprawling musical that has the most beautiful scenery. The opening with Curly riding along through the fields and singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning is a smiler. They don’t make movies like this anymore, and that’s a tragedy.
Gordon MacRae is brilliant as Curly, the …
