Movie Reno 911
Reno 911 is an extraordinary ensemble of unknowns that team up to make the slapstick satire on the Reno Police Force a real winner. The use of lit up scenes in an amateurish presentation makes this show look like a home video, but do not be fooled. …

A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)

Quigley Down Under (Western)
I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).

Tom Selleck is awesome in this movie as his character, Quigley takes on an Australian Land Baron …
3:10 to Yuma, movie

Movie : Dolan’s Cadillac (2009)

LORO, movie (2018)
The beauty of individual things is undeniable only in our heads. Someone is sure that he ties his shoelaces beautifully or hangs stuff in the closet. The Italian Paolo Sorrentino is not sure of anything. He knows. He knows how to beautifully shoot a girl by the pool, shaving her …
Howl’s Moving Castle
“Howl’s Moving Castle” did not take a step forward for Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio is renowned for excellent story
telling, and stunning animation, but this latest film is not quite an advancement. Past films like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Ponpoko,” “Kiki’s
Delvery service” and “Spirited Away,” each brought more creative …
Seven Pounds movie
