Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Oh my gosh, where to start? This story is adapted from the  video game Street Fighter. It should have stayed a video game in my opinion. The dialogue is lame and the actors deliver it in much the same fashion. The martial arts action is well choreographed and decently presented by the cast but the [...]

Confessions Of A Shopaholic

This movie is breezy, light and fluffy much like the main character, Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher). Unfortunately for Rebecca, the movie has a lot of money to back it up (produced by Jerry Bruckheimer) while our heroine is up to her ears in credit card debt as a result of her “can’t say no” shopping [...]

The International

In my experience, most memorable movies have a spceial scene or singular theme that will cause you to remember it.

It takes place in the [...]

I will always remember the scene in which Sellers walks into a small hotel and notices a dog laying on the floor.  He asks the man behind [...]

Push

My head hurts! I just returned from viewing the movie PUSH and this is where the headache originated. Talk about a convoluted plot and a plot with so many holes it could serve as as an implement to strain your pasta! The future is this but, wait a minute, maybe the future is that or even who knows [...]

The Uninvited

This turned out to be a neat little psychological thriller – much better that I anticipated. I had  heard that there were several ‘surprises’ in the movie and so I kept looking for them. I have to say that the ending was satisfying in the way things were wrapped up for us as viewers. There [...]

New In Town

As I sit here writing this review I get chilly all over again just thinking of New Ulm, Minnesota where the story is set. Talk about cold! One of the funny moments in the film comes when Lucy Hill (Renee Zellweger) steps out of the airport door and when hit by the frigid wind exclaims [...]
