Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy.

The Disappointments Room (Horror Movie)
I guess this film lives up to its title, it is indeed rather disappointing. It’s boring and not scary at all.

The Godfather
The Godfather is my favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it. Al Pacino, James Cann, Robert Duvall, and Marlon Brando play their roles with tremendous ability. They make their roles come alive and make the mafia family seem real. I especially like Maroln Brando as Vito …

Charade movie
From 1963, Charade is one of the best thrillers ever made, and to think it revolves around a simple stamp. The film is romantic, dramatic, and leaves you gasping more than once as the action unfolds. The mystery stays fresh and revitalizes itself several times throughout. …

Movie Fragile
Starring: Calista Flockhart (Amy Nichols), Richard Roxburgh (Doctor Robert), Elena Anaya (Helen Perez), Gemma Jones (Mrs Folder), Yasmin Murphy (Maggie)
This movie is trite and unexciting, despite the appealing storyline behind it. I would think the Japanese and Koreans would have done better with this.
Amy took up a …

Happy Feet movie
