By the time I was a young child, comic books had lost their fascination by kids and had been replaced with cartoons. Many adults had something against reading comics, but had no problem with their children watching TV, which I cannot understand. Comic books was in a way reading in disguise, there was a lot reading involved[…]
X-Men: The Last Stand
Over The Hedge
Films for kids don’t necessarily need hidden messages, product placement, crude humor, or really heavy emotional life lessons in order to be successful. Another thing that seems to bring a film down is too many recognizable celebrity voice actors, all wanting their share of jokes and screen time[…]
The Da Vinci Code
I was surprised at how much the film didn’t publicize itself, but sort of let the publicity of the entire controversy build to epic proportions. Many churches and organizations are boycotting it, but the truth of the matter is, the more you boycott the more publicity it is getting which equals more people are interested in going to see it. So in a way you are actually helping the film[…]
Poseidon
I remember seeing Titanic with Leonardo Dicaprio and when I finally saw it, I still couldn’t really understand all the hype about it. But not that I actually think about it, it was one of those films that tried to be for everyone. It was historical, had a lot of action and good special effects, and had a rinky-dink love story. Of course, the girls my age who saw it when it came out were in love with Dicaprio. See The Aviator, you won’t think he’s so hot anymore[…]
Mission: Impossible 3
First time film Director, J.J. Abrams gives us a lot of action, not plenty of substance, but a solid enough plot to be quite enjoyable to watch.

Abrams’ largest project was probably Michael Bay’s Armageddon[…]
An American Haunting
An American Haunting involves the specific taunting from one type of ghost, known as a Poltergeist. Many of us can recall, especially if you were alive during the 80s, is Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist in which a house is built upon the former site of cemetary, but neglectfully, only the tombstones were moved. Steven Spielberg’s masterful screenplay[…]
