Legally Blonde movie
I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …
“Howl’s Moving Casle” (2004 Film)

A Storm in Summer,2000 movie
This movie is a real gem. Peter Falk plays Abel Shaddick, an angry old man who seems to hate everyone and everything. However, Falk manages to make his character interesting rather than totally unlikable: we want to know the reason of his anger, and as we suspect that the …

Alibi.com movie

Pride and Prjudice 2006
It is very rare that I see a movie of a book that I have read and that I like it. This movie, Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly was an exception. The film work was exceptional, the acting was superb, and the costumes were stunning. This is another …

Audition (movie) 1999
This film has left me pretty stunned and I really need to watch it again. Yes, I think it is very good but it is certainly not to everyone’s taste. There is a rather famous, or infamous, torture scene that is truly agony to experience, but I …
Broken Arrow movie
Back in the late 1980s, the director John Woo used to make some visually interesting films, but none of these had any depth, there was nothing beyond that beautiful surface. When he later was offered film projects in Hollywood, he couldn’t turn them down for the money.
While there he …
Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Fantasy film
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is the director’s biggest film to date. Yeah sure you could say that some of his other films are better and I would agree, but this one was a cash cow. Disney knew this so in 3 short months the movie went from being …
X Men: First Class, movie
I was not expecting much from this movie. Not much at all. I am not a great fan of Wolverine and a few other mutants, my favorites being Magneto and Charles Xavier. Thankfully, this movie focused on them. I found this a good thing and bad thing. While I …

Movie Love Wrecked
I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.

Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …

The Green Hornet, Blu-ray Superhero action comedy film
Who is to blame for the Green Hornet movie? Can we blame director Michel Gondry for coming back to the project after he rejected it back in 1997? Or can we blame all of the countless delays that start with writers bailing out to simple crew members? Maybe we …
