I went to see the trashy action flick, Wanted and I couldn’t resist posting a quick review of the film here. Wanted succeeded in entertaining me with its flashy action sequences but failed in every other measure of a movie.
The protagonist was probably one of the most unsympathetic, dislikable characters […]

Batman: Worth the Hype
July 20th, 2008 · No Comments
There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Heath Ledger’s final performance as the Joker in this summer’s Batman movie. I must admit I was extremely skeptical.

Downfall is a 2004 German film depicting the last days of Hitler’s life, and therefore the Third Reich.

Pirates of the Caribbean Dower Review
May 30th, 2007 · 1 Comment
The Good: Same old swashbuckling atmosphere, music, and cast. The feministy (adjective form of feminst) themes tied to the Elizabeth character. The subtle interracial harmony and internationalism represented by the diversity among the Pirate Lords. The final battle and rather unexpected ending.
The Bad: Jack Sparrow. In the first scene, Jack hallucinates a crew made up entirely of […]
“Do you understand the words that are a-coming out of my mouth?”

Does anyone else find it ironic that Alexander Siddig, a self-described Muslim, played the angel Gabriel in The Nativity Story? Although Gabriel (or rather Jibrail) is an important figure in Islam, responsible for revealing the Qur’an to Muhammad, it still seems a bit counter-intuitive that Siddig would have chosen that particular role. “Sid” is a […]
