CITY ISLAND is a family laugh riot. It’s brilliant, original, and unbelievably funny. Andy Garcia and Juliana Marguelis are at their best. It’s one of the few dysfunctional family movies out there that just gets… Read the rest of this entry »

OUR FAMILY WEDDING Review
On March - 13 - 2010
When you marry someone, you marry the family too. That statement rings true when you’re born and raised in a culture that values family above everything else, such is the case with OUR FAMILY WEDDING… Read the rest of this entry »
SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE Review
On March - 13 - 2010
The movie tries too hard to set down a trend or bring back the rating system. It’s hoping that when you come home from the cinema, you’d start rating people you encounter and suddenly the term ‘moodle’ would catch on. But… Read the rest of this entry »
COP OUT Review
On February - 27 - 2010
I try to laugh at the r-rated jokes in this movie but COP OUT falls flat. The only best part is the music which oddly takes us back to the old buddy cop movies of the 80s but other than that, watching COP OUT makes you numb,… Read the rest of this entry »

LEAP YEAR Review
On January - 9 - 2010
Can a romantic comedy be any more generic than LEAP YEAR? The thing is, LEAP YEAR still remains irresistible despite being so predictable. It’s a good thing I have a soft-spot for this type of storytelling. It’s a textbook case of rom-com, it follows the guidelines down to a tee. But… Read the rest of this entry »
YOUTH IN REVOLT Review
On January - 9 - 2010
People do crazy things for love. YOUTH IN REVOLT takes that to heart. This teen comedy with adult sense of humor is evidence that Cera is a movie star in his own right. As both Nick Twisp and his alter ego Francois, Cera is… Read the rest of this entry »
IT’S COMPLICATED Review
On December - 25 - 2009
IT’S COMPLICATED is exactly that, complicated, funny, and profound. Writer/director Nancy Meyers has brought back her usual ingredients, a rom-com that deals with… Read the rest of this entry »
