Funny People movie

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
When my family rented the film from our local Hastings a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what this “Sweeney Todd” character entailed. Indeed, the name sounded more of the same banal comedic drudgery that plagues the genre. My initial suspicions were proved utterly superficial when I …

Jeepers Creepers 2 Movie
If I have said it once, I’ve said it too many times…some movies really don’t need a sequel and Jeepers Creepers is one such movie. Ok, I get the fact that every twenty third spring for twenty three days it gets to eat…but come on, if the creature has …

Sabrina
Harrison Ford is mostly known for his involvement in bringing to the big screen the “Indiana Jones” block busters; however I much prefer him in the movie “Sabrina” where Ford shows of his unique charm rather than his Indiana Jones skills. It comes to no surprise that this movie …

I still don’t understand why JK Rowling had insisted that the actress to play Cho Chang had to be an ‘unknown’. There are a lot of Asian actresses around who would have been perfect for the role. I think they made a mistake in choosing her. Aside from not …

Miss Potter
Miss Potter is funny and nice. The movie stars Renee Zellweger and I love the way she speaks with a British accent! It’s so cute and funny and at the same time, understandable. She played the character of Beatrix Potter, so obviously she’s the Miss Potter there.
