 I wonder if Tim Burton has lost his mind. His version of “Alice In Wonderland” is a fine example of that.  Wonderland is no longer a beautiful place here, instead it looks more like a nightmare that refuses to end. What a shame. All those wonderful characters from the original story are present, but they…

The folks at Dreamworks have done it again. “How To Train Your Dragon” is entertaining, with a fresh idea and colorful characters. It’s the story of a young Viking, who, in order to become a man, must be able to hunt a dragon down and kill it. Instead, he befriends a reluctant beast and ends…

There’s something fantastic about this movie. I found myself completely drawn into Mr Fox”s world and it’s all because of Wes Anderson’s amazing imagination. Fans of his earlier work won’t have a problem enjoying this one. Plus it features his regular cast that includes Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Shwartzman and Cate Blanchett. Everyone seems to be…

I wish this movie was better than it really was. The trailer gave me high hopes, so you can imagine how diasappointed I was once it ended. The story focuses on a young girl, who is brutally raped and murdered. From heaven, she keeps watching over her grieving family as well as her killer (Stanley…

One of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. Agonizing to watch and painfully disturbing. The two leads try their best but it’s not enough. Some scenes are too violent to digest and the overall result is a mess. I couldn’t remember the last time I hated a movie as much as I hated…

Proof that Nicolas Cage can still act. After a series of bad movies, Cage is back in form in one of his best roles. Just see how amazing he is as a corrupt police officer investigating the killing of 5 senegalese immigrants. Eva Mendez plays a hooker who also happens to be his lover. Their…

If I had to write a letter for John expressing my feelings towards this movie, this it what I would write: Dear John, Your movie sucks. Sincerely, The guy who just suffered through 2 hours of pain. Rating: 1.5/4

He’s a 5, she’s a 10, yet the dorky guy manages to score with the hot chick. You only get to see this happening in Hollywood movies. And despite the predictable plot, “She’s Out Of My League” is actually not bad at all. It tries to dodge the usual cliches as much as it can;…

Interesting look at Charles Darwin’s struggle with God and himself when he decided to write his book about the origin of species. Paul Bettany gives a fine performance, but the movie is uneven and slow at times. Nevertheless, its still worth checking out simply for curiosity purpose. Rating:  2.5/4

Chloe” is an erotic thriller that tries to be clever and original but fails miserably. Call it Fatal Attraction for lesbians. Julianne Moore plays the woman who hires an escort to seduce her husband, whom she suspects of cheating. At first I thought this was going somewhere; I was wrong. It’s predictable, and pretty lame…

Clever movie about a group of friends who, after a crazy night of partying and drinking in a ski resort hot tub, wake up in the year 1986. I knew exactly what to expect from this raunchy comedy, and I was completely satisfied. It’s “Back To The Future” meets “The Hangover”. What more can you…

Finally a movie worthy of being called “entertaining”. “The A-Team” is strictly a popcorn movie with plenty of action to satisfy fans of the genre. I didn’t expect much of it, but Im glad to say that I enjoyed it a lot.   A very funny cast that includes Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Sharlto Copley makes…
