The Royal Tenenbaums (comedy drama movie)

The Dark Knight

I had heard this so much about this small penguin and having in my brain the popular saying “where there are a lot of cherries hold a small basket”, I was little circumspect with the particular animation movie. Also, I believed that after “Searching for Nemo” hardly another animation …

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
I had watched the first Transformers movie and enjoyed it, so I was hoping to enjoy its sequel just as much. I usually like movies with Shia LaBeouf, known for his dry sense of humor. However, this movie fell very short of my expectations.
I found LaBeouf’s character Sam …

John Fawcett’s 2001 horror / comedy film “Ginger Snaps”
I don’t like horror movies as a rule. “The Sixth Sense” gave me nightmares for weeks, and I can’t even watch trailers of gore films, unless I’m trying to get unhealthy blood adrenalin levels. Therefore, it took my friend a lot of effort to emotionally blackmail me into watch …

Heartbreakers movie
Another movie my wife and I ended up watching last night was the film “Heartbreakers”. I liked this movie when it first came out but have to admit it loses some of its charm the second time you see it.

Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. Mothra is a definite improvement over King Kong vs. Godzilla, although it is still not necessarily on my top ten list of favorite Godzilla movies. I find the Godzilla suit to be a definite improvement over the Godzilla suit from the previous suit because this Godzilla looks …
