There are all kinds of reasons why I anticipate a certain movie. Most of the time, it's the directors/actors involved, sometimes it's the story that grabs you, whether from a trailer or the book a given movie is based on. But sometimes, it's neither. As I've mentioned here, I got curious because my husband's a …

FlixChatter Review: The Tourist
A few of people's tweets on Twitter yesterday read that The Tourist is 'less than the sum of its stars.' Well, that quip definitely has merit because despite the star wattage of the two leads, the movie is never luminous enough to really dazzle.

FlixChatter Review: RED
I saw this back in August on an advance screening. Before the movie began, they told us that the special effect wasn't final yet, but I didn't really mind as the main draw for me to see this is the cast, mainly Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, AND John Malkovich. I thought that even if …
DVD Picks: Letters to Juliet & Spirited Away
Well, I didn't get a chance to see The Social Network this weekend, though they hardly need my patronage to take the top spot for the second weekend, dropping only 30% to take in $15.5 mil (per Box Office Mojo). Initially I wanted to see the dark comedy/drama The Joneses with David Duchovny and Demi …
