To say Avatar is like nothing you've seen before is a quite an understatement. Back in June, I list Avatar as one of five must-see flix of the rest of 2009 and ever since then, the hype promised it to be something of an epic thrill ride. Well, I can confidently say that fifteen years …

Weekend Roundup: It’s a Wonderful Life and The Blind Side
You can say I had a 'Capra'-laden weekend. On Friday night, I finally get to see the all-time Christmas classic It's A Wonderful Life for the first time with my movie-nite gals. The next day, my hubby & I caught The Blind Side at a local theater, and even in its fourth week of release, …

This is Russell Crowe's strongest performance since The Insider 10 years ago. Of course I loved him in Gladiator, but it's his amazingly credible role as …
