When a man loves a woman
The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …
The Holiday Movie
There are some actors and actresses that I avoid when deciding what movies to go to the theater and watch or what movies to rent. I usually avoid anything with Jude Law, Jack Black, and Cameron Diaz. So imagine my surprise when I actually rented a movie staring all …

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Whenever you try to remake a popular cartoon of the 80s or 90s into a live-action film, you run quite a few risks. And, just as often as not, many attempts at this wind up being complete disasters.
Fortunately, Alvin and the Chipmunks was not one of those films.
We’ve been …
Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …
Catch & Release DVD
I have just watched Catch & Release, a new romantic comedy movie starring my favorite actress Jennifer Garner. This story is pretty funny, but it gets boring, with the normal flavor formula being repeated over and over again. I tried to make myself love the movie, but …
Ghost Rider (2007)

I have read this book, faster than any other books I have read because this is one book that I really enjoy; it is very light in story, a bit shallow if you are a very deep person, and just is the kind of book that you read for …
Hot Tub Time Machine Movie (2010)

The Face of Another movie
The experimental japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara came out with this interesting study of human sacrifice in the year of 1965. It is about a man who’s face has been entirely burnt off in an accident. People treat him like some sort of monster and can’t really see what’s behind …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
