The Mind’s Eye
The Mind’s Eye is a very stunning and magical movie. The movie is very unique because it is all art with music. There are not human actors or scripts. You just see segments of digital art move to the sound of beautiful music. I really love this video and it …
Movie Christina’s House

3:10 to Yuma

The Accidental Husband

Kaw

Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …
The Gnome-Mobile
Here is another Disney treasure from my past. I can still remember seeing this movie as a double feature at the drive-in movies, growing up in Southern California. What made it Disney was its comic sequences, and its stock character actors, namely Ed Wynn, Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, …

Les Miserables (2012 movie)
The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …

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.
