I admired director Todd Field’s work in “In The Bedroom”. I was stunned by the way he weaved the story from drama to suspense. Subtle yet effective. So, it is safe to say I was looking forward to his new film “Little Children”.
The film is set in the suburbs of America and shows different characters […]
Good but not great.
That best sums up my view of the multi-awarded film “Babel”, the latest film from celebrated director Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu. With a Golden Globe Best Picture among its collection and a chance for the Oscars, it seemed to have the pedigree of an instant classic. Add the ensemble cast of Brad Pitt, […]
Imagine being a nightshift guard of a museum. Not exactly the best job, right? What if the museum exhibits come to life during sundown? Pretty interesting stuff huh?
That is the premise of Ben Stiller’s latest flick “Night At The Museum”. The effects-laden family film is an enjoyable romp for Stiller and audiences as well, that […]
Yeah, I know. I was surprised too. I thought it was a misprint.
When the nominees for Best Picture are as follows: “Babel”, “Letters From Iwo Jima”, “The Departed”, Little Miss Sunshine” and “The Queen”, you know that one particular film would be snubbed. Nope, not “Date Movie”.
As shocking as it is, “Dreamgirls” walked home with […]
Alright, everybody. It’s time for your most-awaited awards. Nope, not that Oscar dude. It’s the Razzies!

After a string of films ranging from animated fare (”Over The Hedge”), to suspense flicks (”Hostage”), Bruce Willis is back for the fourth (and maybe final) installment of the film franchise that catapulted him to international fame. No, we are not talking about “Look Who’s Talking” (he provided the voice of the baby).
Yes, it’s another […]
A lot of people thought the sky was the limit, me included. With millions of dollars pouring in, how could you not? Magazines quickly regarded him as probably the most powerful man yet in Hollywood.
“The Passion of the Christ” helped establish Mel Gibson as a director once again. After the Academy Award-winning “Braveheart”, the religious […]
What ever happened to the genre that John Hughes and Amy Heckerling built? Have films dealing with teenagers ceased to become anything that resembles substantial?
During the Eighties, Hollywood gave us cult classics such as “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, “Sixteen Candles”, “Pretty In Pink”, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and the quintessential teen flick “The Breakfast […]
A few days ago, Paramount Pictures announced that Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow (whom I have always maintained that she is an overrated actress and star) of “Shakespeare In Love” fame has signed on to be in the live-action film adaptation of the popular Marvel Comics character “Iron Man”. It was also announced that filming will […]
With the Golden Globes now over, it is time to start to look forward to the Academy Awards, the Oscars…
Not just yet! Hold your horses, folks. Let us take a look back on who won what,who got a boost and who lost a lot. The awards season has just begun, so to speak. Also, please, […]
