Hanging up movie
Hanging up is a very normal movie which has nothing unique about it. The only saving grace of the movie is Meg Ryan’s impeccable performance. She single handedly did everything and the whole movie rests on her shoulders and she did a great job in doing that job perfectly. …

The Bigamist movie
Another vintage movie that I’ve seen lately is The Bigamist. I’ve never seen it before. It’s really a classic soap opera piece that has much of it glossed over becomes of the standards and practices of the day. That actually surprises me, how they made movies …

The Possession of Michael King (2014 Horror Film)

The Day The Earth Stood Still film

Johnny Depp has a lot of great films. This is probably one of his best …
The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond is one of the weakest in the series, with another ‘out there’ villain, played by Robert Carlisle and a ridiculous plot that makes ‘The World is Not Enough’ simply unbearable to sit through. Let me be clear: I hate this movie. …
Julie & Julia movie

Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
