Spiderman 3
Another love story, that’s what I said to my friends after watching it. I don’t want to spoil it for others who might want to go and spend some dough on this romantic adventure. I know, most people loved the effects and cinematography, but I’m not after an award …

Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …

Cloverfield Movie

Cassanova movie
