    Shark  Production Year

    Fracture  (2007)

    This is an upscale version of the tv show "shark" with james woods.Especially the episode(shark )Season 1, Episode 12: Wayne's World,where james woods fails on convicting a a a very witty-intelligent serial killer and loses his winning prosecuting streak.This episode also makes him abit paranoid of a serial killer he(he believes ) set loose.But on the season finale of this show  ,Season 1, Episode 22: Wayne's World 2: Revenge of the Shark james wood is able to convict the serial killer on his own unique(but a bit deceitfully -illegal) witty ways comparacent to the ryan gosling(witty&legal ways) character in fracture.

    Sex Is Zero  Production Year

     Worse teen comedy i have ever seen. Most of the jokes are very lame ,be it disturbing or not ;I didn't like the 80s theme of the movie.  Looked very low budget and bad acting /performances;Will NOT recommend this to no one.NOT my type of comedy .
    HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING!!  : <     : (     :{      : [

    Miss Potter  (2006)

    Stellar cast and an absolutely wonderful movie;For a british movie, i was suprised that it was not a very chatty or not a very long movie(92 min.)which makes it great for families to watch.

    The movie sort of reminded me of  Bridge to Terabithia (2007);This would be the grown-up adult like version of  b.to terrabithia with romance in victorian times at England.Miss Potter though, is much better acted,and a more moving flick.I like how Norman introduced her love for beatrix and beatrix did not take long to give him her reply.I like how the movie did not go on forever about a guy or girls romantic feeling for someone and did not find an answer or have an answer at the conclusion part of the movie like a lot of english romantic movies.Disappointed though with the unexpected parting of Norman.The movie did not explain much about norman sickness and death;Very similar death feeling to b.to terabithia,quick and unexpected.The tragedy of Normans death and what happened afterwards is more moving and better acted than the tragedy of leslies death in b.of terrabithia.

    Liked the wiity script/lines of miss potter especially beatrix and millies lines.A very inspiring movie especially for women.A great look/insight of the woman behind the peter rabbit books;the special features of the dvd goes even more in depth of the history of beatix potter and the making of the movie from different perspectives;educationial,informative,and interesting.Great cinematography(landscapes,etc..),interesting animation,wonderfully romantic,a bit tragic ,and an inspirational flick that is family friendly(due to no violence,hardly no bad language and no graphic nudity or no sexual connations,just good old fashioned simple romance like back in the classic days of cinema).HIGHLY RECOMMENDED;One of the best movies i rented this year and definitely the best romantic and inspirational flicks(current release rentals) i have seen lately

    The Page Turner  Production Year

    Yes, it is a suspense movie!The suspense is so subtle yet there.I have never seen a suspense flick made quite like this.The movie seems to be about a normal girl internship that leads to a other jobs due to her good performance at work but yet there is more into it;She has a hidden objective that she manages to fulfill in a quiet unasssuming way by just doing well in the job she was asked to do;She is a very good manipulator.

    Deborah Francois(older melanie) and Julie Richalet(young melanie)playing as Melanie Prouvost(the main character) did an awesome job!!Her character ,her wardrobe choices ,her body and (especially)her facial movements were perfect for the role:she played the supposedly good girl with a hidden agenda;An agenda you could call revenge for what has happened to her when she was younger;Loved the ending !!!


  • great foreign ACTION movie

    District B13  (2005)

      Watch it if you are in the mood for a great  ACTION flick;The main actors are professional stuntment,choreographer;It was also said that some of the actors were circus performers:First time acting performances for a lot of the actors and the director.No CGs ,no body doubles for the action scenes,just lots of practice to make the movie the great action flick that it is:Two (lead)action guys instead of one compared to most jacki chan ,tony jaa,jet li ,or jason statham(crank and both transporter movies);DOUBLE the fun!!!

    Not much depth or originality into the story/script BUT it is enough to keep the story going:The depth of the movie is similar to most of jason statham action flicks.Besides, watch it to see great authentic action scenes and you won't be disappointed

    Little Otik  (2000)

    Pan's Labyrinth  (2006)

    this reminds me of a foreign,non-musical and more grim version of  little shop of horrors; Quite unique, and very creative (visually) foreign fairy tale; Interesting tale that provides the solution on a fairy tale book

    Also reminds of Pan's Labyrinth scene where the young girl gets that piece of bark/wood thing and soaks in a bowl of milk and puts in under the bed;Eventually the bark begins to live and gets better(like her mom);the bark starts moving and becomes animated until it unfortunate demise,later on ,as the bark gets discoverd under the bed;This movie stars out as a narration of a fairy tale(fairy tale from a book)with a much more tragic and emotional human story compared to little otik grimly funny twisted tale of an ending


  • whom shall i choose,my king or my god????

    Becket  (1964)

     this true story about a king and his friend, or shall we say servant,confidant,loyalist was a great script;Unfortunately ,the movie ran a little toooo long and a weee bit to chatty;too chatty with not much movement or action,etc. goin on.
    The kings(peter o'toole)heartbreaking performance was something i barely ever see in the movies;Maybe thats why  this movie could be called a one-of-a-kind classic movie.The kings emotional heartbreak/heartACHE over losing his friend/confidant is something usually seen only,in cinemas,for the love of a lover/spouse.The king was sooo in love with his friend.BUT his friend/loyalty/confidant,Becket(richard burton), feels ,he must choose who's loyalty is more important to him.Becket must choose between the king or God.There is no gray area between both choices,and Becket refuses to compromise.This in turn leads to Beckets death and the kings ultimate hearbreak.Becket becomes a martyr and saint upon his death.
    Sounds a bit like a love story ,But for a friend
