Ninja Assassin

There are some movies which you don’t need to see the trailer to want to watch.  This is one of them ~at least for me.  I guess it’s just my fascination with Ninjas ~ these unfathomable and almost mystical killing machines and my movie instinct that assured me it was going to be very entertaining [...]

Nothing but the Truth

WARNING: Contains spoilers. (~if you haven’t watch this movie, you might not want to read the green part of this review)  This movie has a very nice twist that I actually didn’t expect or would have guessed until it was revealed.
My only question was after the ’source’ was disclosed, since all is dead and gone; [...]

Slumdog Millionaire

This movie is truly worthy to win the Oscar for Best Film.  It is totally unique and exceptional.  Everything from a Mumbai boy growing up in the slums and surviving a tough childhood, to becoming a contestant and how he came to know the answers to the questions then winning to become a millionaire is brilliantly woven into this remarkably original film.  [...]

It’s so sad this movie was butchered before it even came out and from what I read by Australian critics themselves…maybe not majority but more than enough to make this movie almost flop.  It’s not a bad film.  Maybe if they didn’t use AUSTRALIA as the title, it would have fared much better.  Which reminds [...]

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Kudos for Penelope Cruz for winning the Best Supporting Actress Award.  She was totally insane in this movie and she played her role perfectly.   A very nice film that has some realistic story of life from liberated and daring individuals who attractively fall in love with the wrong person, at the wrong time but ‘ maybe’ at the right place…romantic Barcelona!   

Rachel Getting Married

There’s an award buzz in this movie for Anne Hathaway being nominated as Best Actress.   She didn’t win, but she was good in this film.  I don’t know about great…maybe because I totally can’t relate to the story.   There’s nothing in it that’s familiar in my world.  It was just too foriegn for me.  It got [...]
