Disney Gargoyles
I have recently discovered Gargoyles, a lesser known Disney’s animated series, and I am now hooked. This show is excellent. I so wish Disney would resume making it!
The storyline is rich and complex. It begins in 994 A.D. Scotland, introducing us to a clan of gargoyles powerful …

Robin Hood (2010) movie
Robin Hood (2010) tells the story of Robin Hood, the famous legendary outlaw, but tells it in a very different fashion from previous Robin Hood movies.

Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …
The Crow movie
The Dark Gothic film that claimed the life of Brandon Lee. One of my favorite movies of all time, as not everyday you see a corpse rising from the grave to right to wrongs done to him. Not a zombie type role either…but undead and kicking butt from corner …

Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …

Australia movie
The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
This movie could be looked at in one of two ways: a take on David and Goliath, or the traditional bully theme. Either way, it is a pleasant comedy with several delightful characters and oddities. It involves a hostile takeover attempt by Goliath Globo Gym owner White Goodman (Ben …
3 Ninja at High Noon Mountain Movie
I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …

Arbitrage (Movie)
“Arbitrage,” starring Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, is the story of a billionaire’s fall from grace. The title implies that the movie will be about international investment fraud, which sounds interesting, if a bit dry. However, the film pleasantly surprises by delivering an unexpected depth.
For the genre, …

The Smurfs 2 - Movie
The great performance (600 million dollars) of the first feature movie about the Smurfs (2011) made the continuation of their adventures an inevitability. And it is already a fact - three-dimensional, dynamic and colorful as usual. In the center of the story is Gargamel, who is a superstar in …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.

The focus of this movie is about a recently divorced couple and the heart aching task they go through in order to keep their children happy in the face of the terrible period in their lives. This is not made easier by the fact that the husband Luke, played …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003 movie)
In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …

I love Anne Hathaway, and I love Steve Carrell even more. Steve has shown so much potential through the years, his big break from Bruce Almighty made his career soar so much and I truly believe he deserves it. Anne is such a beauty and a professional actress who …

Movie The Candidate
“What do we do now?”
It’s a simple question, but it’s a chilling one when asked by Bill McKay in The Candidate. McKay is played brilliantly by Robert Redford. He’s a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. He’s idealistic, and he doesn’t believe in making deals. …
The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …
