Decent spy flick based on a true story about FBI agent Robert Hanssen and the greatest breach in U.S. security ever. While the movie only focuses on the last two months of Hanssen’s career before he is caught selling secrets to Russia, Hanssen actually began spying for Moscow in the early 80’s. He was ultimately […]

By far, my most favorite Disney movie. I used to watch this repeatedly when I was younger. I haven’t seen it for years, and I still found myself singing along to some of the songs. :-)

Zack Snyder did an incredible job on the cinematography and imagery in this film. Normally, I’m not one for blood and violence, but the battle scenes were so beautifully done in this film. Apparently, the film is not historically accurate, but it was much more entertaining to watch 300 well-defined Spartans in only underwear, […]

The third installment of the Spider-Man series was somewhat entertaining, but didn’t live up to the standard set by the first two movies. There were too many villains. There’s Harry, Peter’s ex-friend, still trying to avenge his father’s death, then there’s Flint Marko, who is the man who actually killed Peter’s Uncle Ben, then there’s […]

This movie is based on the book by Jhumpa Lahiri. Mira Nair did a good job of adapting the novel into a two-hour movie, although she skips a good bit in the beginning half of the movie. I really enjoyed Irfan Khan, who plays Ashoke Ganguli, an Indian who emigrates with his wife to America […]

So-so Woody Allen flick; I think I prefer his NYC-obsessed movies. Allen plays Ray, a simple-minded crook married to wannabe-socialite, Frenchy. During their plans to rob a bank, they strike it rich with a cookie shop and become millionaires. Their marriage starts to falter when Ray wants to give up all of […]
