I’ve been watching Ghostbusters II since I was a kid. This movie came in 1989 when I was just seven years old. I’ve loved this movie because it showcased the best and worse about New York City. It also made me want to visit the Statue of Liberty one day to experience the sights and … More Ghostbusters II (1989)
Ghostbusters went from a Saturday Night sketch to an international phenomenon in 1984. This comedy will be fondly remembered for three reasons. The first is the legendary theme song. You can go just about anywhere and ask, “who you gonna call?” and the majority of the responses will be Ghostbusters! Second, the lead actors/actresses who … More Ghostbusters (1984)
Once upon a time, I had watched Escape from New York. I want to say it was late in my teenage years or as a young adult, so nothing about the movie appealed to me. I didn’t fully understand or appreciate all the themes that John Carpenter wrote into this brilliant film. Last night while … More Escape from New York (1981)
Somewhere deep in a box, there is a movie ticket stub from 1999 that is slowly fading away. If you look closely, you will see it was for the hit comedy Mickey Blue Eyes. Who is Mickey Blue Eyes, you may ask, well he’s hotshot auctioneer Michael Felgate, played by Hugh Grant. Known for playing … More Mickey Blue Eyes (1999)
As a couple, we are split on our opinion of Kathryn Heigl. Personally, I can’t stand her acting and believe every rumour I hear about her on-set antics. My wife enjoys her performances, and that may be a little bias because of Heigl’s years on Grey’s Anatomy. She shines in romantic comedies where she spends … More 27 Dresses (2008)
It’s been 20 years since the first time I watched Frequency. I have seen it a bunch of times since then but sat down recently to make my wife watch it. Although she ended up not a huge fan, I still enjoyed it. Initially, I liked the film because Dennis Quaid’s character Frank Sullivan is … More Frequency (2000)
Florence Foster Jenkins came out in 2016. We skipped the movie during its theatre run because I didn’t think this story was for me. Turns out, I was entirely right. In case you didn’t know, Meryl Streep (Florance Foster Jenkins) was nominated for two Oscars with this performance. I understand this story is based on … More Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)
I vaguely remembered Brooklyn’s Finest when I watched it upon initial release in 2009. Since then, I have seen it two more times, and each time I was left wondering what drew me to watch it another time. The first thing that I like about the film is the setting, Brooklyn. I also really like … More Brooklyn’s Finest (2009)
An Interview with God was far more thought-provoking than I expected. When we pray, we talk to God. Only when prayers get answered, do we feel that God has spoken to us. Imagine if we had a chance to actually sit down and have a heart to heart with the Lord. Paul Asher (Brenton Thwaites) … More An Interview with God (2018)
When in Rome is another romantic comedy with two stars in the lead roles. Josh Duhamel and Kristen Bell meet in Rome at a wedding, only to bring their romance back to New York City, where fate has a different plan for the two. This film is funny, to a point. I like how crazy … More When in Rome (2010)
