I Am Love: A film by Luca Guadagdino (2009)
I watched this film upon the recommendation of one of nytimes film critics. I rely heavily on movie reviews, as I prefer to see titles released under the radar. It was a long wait for this film to be released in DVD version, and I had …
10 (movie)
The movie 10 catapulted Bo Derek into a household name. Bo is steamy hot in this film, although the acting leaves much to be desired. I like 10 because it’s cool to see an icon when she was young and very, very beautiful. Bo Derek can’t act worth a …
Resident Evil: Afterlife Movie (2010)
I saw this movie at the theatre today as my brother said it was really cool and great; the movie was only 1 hour and 40 minutes but somehow I felt it was longer. This movie features Alice (Milla Jovovich) going to Japan to finally confront and destroy Umbrella …

ARGO 2012 Film

Bus 174
Bus 174 is a movie that I really enjoyed watching with my sister and brother. We love watching hostages movie scenario, but felt that to happen in real life would be devastating. But I love watching how the characters blend and try to escape, something like that. …
Lost in Translation (2003)
I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …

Every one wants more money; especially when the economy is the way it is. That’s why I think the movie Mad Money turned out to be a much better film than I expected it to be; it was very easy to relate to.

Star Trek 2009 movie

Today I went to see Iron Man. What an excellent film.

Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.
What Universal has done with …

John C. Reilly
