This is one of the few weekends, which I went to see two movies. One of them I liked better than the other. Here’s my thoughts: Stardust I had gained enough interest in this film, that I decided to go see it yesterday, in addition to my original plans of seeing Rush Hour 3 today. […]

This film is the latest in the “summer of threequels.” However, unlike the other “threequels” I never really saw the previous two films in theatres (I only saw them of video and/or TV in the last year — I now regret not seeing them in theatres). However, I do say that seeing the previous films

Danny Boyle, known for Trainspotting and 28 Days Later enters the Sci-Fi genre with Sunshine. In fact there are quite a few technical similarities between this film and 28 Days Later. They both have the same director (Boyle), screenwriter (Alex Garland), star (Cillian Murphy), and composer (John Murphy). The film even features Rose Byrne (one
I found Licence to Wed a formulaic, yet very funny, romantic comedy. I liked it. But, wait a second! 92% of the world’s film critics (based the stats, as of this writing, on RottenTomatoes.com) say that it’s a terrible movie, that I shouldn’t have watched it.

So, what did I think about this film that had fans of the show cringing at the differences? I really liked it and I was a fan of the show. That’s all I am going to say.
I had to do a lot of preparation before going to see this, the forth movie in the Die Hard series. Specifically, I had to see the other three movies. I purchased the box set on Monday and watched the films throughout the week, so I would be all caught up on the adventures of

I have been a fan of Stephen King for quite a number of years now. I have read a fair number of his novels and they are definitely entertaining reads. It is quite well known, that most of King’s stories have been adapted into film. In that, the King novel that I’m currently (Cell) is
It’s time once again for my monthly look at independent film. This month, I went to see the Irish film Once. This film can be classified as a romantic musical. However, unlike most musicals, where singing starts for no apparent reason, this is a more realistic type of musical. The romantic part of the film
You can just that this film is the leftover “threequel,” after last months high profile groups. However, unlike those films, I can confidently say that I thought this film was better than the last one. Also, I think it’s just under par with the first film. There are somethings (like the fact that the plot
