Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was one of the funniest films I’ve seen recently, mainly for the sharp dialogue between Downey, who plays a small-time crook that gets mixed up into a Hollywood audition when a robbery goes wrong, and Val Kilmer who plays a Hollywood private detective that’s also gay. Downey finds himself mixed up [...]
Family Plot was Hitchcock’s last completed film as his health declined. Naturally, I watched it first to inaugurate my Hitchcock marathon. It was classic Hitchcock but far from his best work. I was shocked at all the gratuitous foul language. Not sure what it is but I like my classics devoid of any swearing [...]
I liked Sandler’s Click probably because I’ve been watching way too many of his films lately. I end up enjoying his serious stuff along with the juvenile stuff and all the stuff in between.

3:10 to Yuma was a good film. Authorities finally capture the notorious highway robber, gang leader and killer Ben Wade played by Russel Crowe. Christian Bale is Dan Evans, a crippled Civil War veteran with one leg struggling to stay a rancher and support a small family. Evans is under the burden of debt and [...]
The Italian Job was an entertaining remake or remix depending on how you see the original 1969 version. It was an enjoyable Hollywood heist movie centred around a robbery gone sour after a backstabbing coward reneges on a heist and kills the father figure and mastermind of the group. The stake is $35 million in [...]
