Salaam Bombay! (1988)
I saw this movie before I saw Slumdog Millionnaire and it ruined Slumdog for me. I think Slumdog is a cheap ripoff of Salaam Bombay, which is a movie that has real taste and characters that are human and have depth to them.
It’s a movie about street kids in Bombay. It starts with a little [...]

La Dolce Vita (1960)
This film was directed by Frederico Fellini and made in 1960. I really liked it and after I watched the film I watched the director’s cut and I read an article on it. The film is the very first film that has the paparazzi as a main character in the film. The main character is [...]

The Great Gatsby (1974)
I watched this movie last week and it was pretty good. It is based on the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and it is starring Robert Redford who started the Sundance Film Festival which i hope to go to one day.
Jay Gatsby was a really rich gentleman. He had all these grand [...]

Gattaca (1997)
I really loved this movie, and I’ll tell you why. It follows a guy who does whatever he needs to do to follow his dreams. People tell him he can’t and that he’s not perfect or he doesn’t have the potential to do what he wants to do, and he just does it anyways.
It is [...]

This is England (2006)
I loved this film — It’s the best British film I’ve seen in a long time. It follows a young boy named Shaun (who is a lot like the director Shane Meadows) in the 80s in England who is trying to find himself and fit in, and he somehow gets into situations and hangs out [...]

AVATAR (2009)
I figure I should do what everyone does who has a movie blog and review Avatar. The reason I want to review it is because I think it is actually a really good movie.
Of course, the main thing about this film is the technology. I was watching some interivews online, and the actor Laz Alonso, [...]

Tyson (2008)
This movie was about Mike Tyson’s life to try and get people to understand who he is. I think it’s a good lesson not to judge a person because you don’t know where their life has taken them and you don’t know how you would react if you were in their shoes.
The things that I [...]

How to Steal a Million (1966)
I’ve been watching so many girly movies lately, but I want to talk about this film that has Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole.
Nicole Bonnet (Audrey Hepburn) is a young aristocrat whose father is eccentric and even though he doesn’t need the money, forges famous works of art to sell them to other aristocrats. He begins [...]

Precious (2009)
This film is a really good one. It’s got lots of celebrity cameos in it, including Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz. The main characters in the film are called Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) and Mo’Nique (her mother). It was produced jointly by Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey.
This film is definitely a tragedy/drama. I’ll just tell you [...]
