Burlesque
It’s no Chicago or Dreamgirls, but if you like musicals (as I do), then you’ll like Burlesque well enough because the singing and the dancing are superb. The storyline, the…
Love and Other Drugs
Love and Other Drugs is a bit of a mess, just like life is a bit of a mess sometimes, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an enjoyable mess. The…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One
Okay, I must confess. I’m a rather ignorant muggle when it comes to the Harry Potter franchise. I haven’t read the books, and I don’t think I’ve seen all the…
The Next Three Days

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Ka-Ching! There’s no way this franchise won’t continue to make millions (upon millions upon millions), no matter what the critics - or any Twilight naysayers- might have to say about…
Knight and Day
With star power like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz you expect more than you get with Knight and Day. Not that it is a bad movie; it just doesn’t really…
El Secreto de Sus Ojos (The Secret in their Eyes)
El Secreto de Sus Ojos was the very deserving winner of the 2010 Academy Award for best Foreign Film. (I have to admit it is the only one of those…
