This small budget film appeared out of nowhere last fall (along with other small films like Million Dollar Baby, Sideways and Hotel Rwanda), captured the hearts of many, and went on to receive countless nominations and awards for writing, costumes, and performances. Well deserved, I must say, especially since the film doesn’t try to force [...]
That Danny Ocean (George Clooney). He’s smart enough to fool a ruthless casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), but he cannot hide from him too long. So the gang is back, and with Terry on their tail, they have no choice but to get back to stealing expensive things in elaborate ways. The entire cast [...]
So I went to see National Treasure today. Why so late – two weeks after it opened? No, my decision had nothing to do with the fact the movie stayed on top of the box office for 2 straight weekends (and possibly will stick around a bit more). I really wanted to see this flick [...]
Being a sucker for Pixar movies, I tried to see this on the opening day, the very first show, before the crowds flooded in, but I was late. So I gave this movie about 10 days, to dissipate the hype, and cool off the madness. And after having seen it, I wish I saw it [...]
I’m quoting from IMDB (and many other major sources that have picked this up): “ABC affiliates in Des Moines and Sioux City, IA and Lincoln, NE have refused to broadcast Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan on Veterans Day, saying that they fear they could be fined by the FCC.
Before I tell about the movie I just have to say I recently watched a rerun of VH1′s 100 Most Shocking Moments in Rock ‘N Roll.

Things should be looking peachy for actor Gerard Butler right now. The lead-part in Joel Schumacher’s highly-anticipated movie adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, Butler is one step closer to securing his place in Hollywood. But in what should be a time of eager anticipations appears to be more a time for coming clean. [...]
I’m sure a lot of you saw Fahrenheit 9/11 this summer. And I’m sure you all have your thoughts about it. As for me, I saw it. I entered the theater with suspicion towards Michael Moore, wondering if this would be another ego trip or send a distorted message. I have to say I was [...]
This is one movie in which you will be impressed and effected by. You will not leave the cinema unmoved. If you were to judge the Best Picture nominees by combination of acting, script and direction, I’d pick this as the winner. Basically this movie kept my interest from start to finish. It was very [...]
Will Smith returns once again, around July 4th festivities (that’s “his” weekend, been that for years, right?), to kick some robot butt. The surprise here is that the movie is pretty good, even engaging at some points. Here’s our review. Three things you need to know right off the bat: 1 – Will Smith’s best [...]
