I saw Cinema Paradiso a few months ago during our monthly gals' movie night, but I haven't had a chance to write a review on it. Since I just watched Nine recently, which shares a 'cinema italiano' theme, why not do the review back-to-back? (The Nine review will be up tomorrow.) While the theme and …

Flixchatter Review: Invictus
On the plane ride back home, I wasn't able to fall asleep right away. So what's better than catching up on flicks I've missed and Invictus is one I had been wanting to see (I wrote a post on it back in October). The Clint Eastwood-directed flick tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson …
Everyone’s a Critic: Reviews from FC readers (6th Edition)
This edition's of Everyone's a Critic's series happen to be movies that exceeds the reviewers' expectation. In fact, Mike was practically baffled why Remember Me had gotten such terrible reviews – which at 28% is exactly the same Tomatometer as Twilight Saga: New Moon. He thought that this indie drama definitely has much more depth …

FlixChatter Review: Clash of the Titans
Critics be darned once again! Clash of the Titans defied the dismal review (31% Tomatometer) to soar past $60 million to capture the number 1 box office spot (it's already earned over 100 mil worldwide). WOW, it surely is kraken-ka-ching for honchos at Warner Bros, as it'll make up its $125 million production cost quicker …

DVD Picks: Easy Virtue and A Good Year
Easy Virtue I've wanted to see this when I saw the trailer early last year, but wasn't fast enough to make it to the theater. Adapted from Noel Coward's 1924 play, it's a comedy that pokes fun at the stifling British upper class. Jessica Biel stars as a feisty American divorcee Larita who re-marries a …
FlixChatter Review: Inglourious Basterds
Ok, 2 down, 10 more to go. As I mentioned in my Oscar nom musings, I've got twelve movies to catch up on by Oscar time (both nominated for Best Picture and those that feature Oscar-nominated performances). In the past 2 weeks, I finally caught this one and The Hurt Locker, here's what I generally think …
