The grudge 2
I watched the grudge 2 a while ago. There are a couple of things about the movie that I didn’t like. First of, I think they should have kept Sarah Michelle Gellar in the movie a lot longer than they did. Second, there were parts that were supposed to …

X-Men The Last Stand
I finally got to watch the third movie in the X-men trilogy, X-Men The Last Stand. Overall, it was a decent film, but it should have been called Wolverine’s big movie.

Alien Vs. Predator Requiem (AVPR)

‘A comedian died tonight in New York City’

The Pink Panther Movie
This movie was over the top kookie. I don’t think it was as good as the original Pink Panther movie, because the clumsiness of the detective in this version (played by Steve Martin) was just a bit too obvious and not as offhand as in the original.
The curtain costumes …
