The Imitation Game is truly a masterpiece. It follows a key part of mathematician (among other things), Alan Turing’s life during World War II and how he contributed to help break Nazi Germany’s seemingly infallible communication code named Enigma. I usually dislike period films, especially films that have anything to …

“Just like Heaven” is simply a great romantic movie with a touch of magic and fantasy. What would you do if you start seeing a ghost? I personally would scream out loud and run away, however David Abbott went to find help to assist her crossover the other side! …

9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …

OK, maybe it’s because I’m not a huge Nick Nolte fan but I just can’t seem to get the movie Mulholland Falls. When it first came out, it looked entertaining. I like thrillers that make me think and thought this film would fit that category. And, having some A-list …

Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, though seemingly interesting, was a boring movie and a chick flick all the way. Why am I so blunt? Because the movie did not have any conflict, except some strange man versus nature conflict - in that he was growing older by growing …

Football is a predominantly male affair. Fighting pseudo-fans it’s practically the only guy thing. Thus, in theory, for making a film on this subject should take a representative of sex ugly. And what if woman decides to tell us the story of hooligans ? Such is the case, “Hooligans”, …
