For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …

All the Kind Strangers from 1974 is one of those really weird movies that just doesn’t have much value in my opinion. If, and that is a big if, there is a message, it’s something about helping children who have no one in the world to guide them. …

Intense action and extreme fighting scenarios of this movie had me repeatedly saying my favorite exclamation phrases. The movie 300 DID bring the Spartans to their greatest glory! Knowing that this had happened in real life thousands of years ago (based on what I have read) added my fascination …

These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …

I am reviewing the mystery movie, Ring Out Your Dead, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004, was produced by Brian True-May, directed by Sarah Hellings, and written by Christopher Russell.

‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …

To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …

I have always thought Will Ferrell was a funny talented actor. His movies are among the best out there. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was once again a funny film. However, it definitely wasn’t his best effort.
What I believe was basically a spoof of Days of Thunder, …

If ever a sequel was never to be made, it was this one, sometimes they just need to let it go and let the original do the work for them. In this movie, it picks up from where the original left off, Nick is now married to Suzanne and …
