Read me or not, I'm here.
Eh… This is the third Mummy movie. The first one was great and fun to watch. The second was becoming redundant. For the third, they worked hard to make it different, and they actually did a good job in both preserving the theme and refreshing the content… but… To me, everything felt off – Jet … Read more

Great trailer – not so much the movie… (and the name is Tropic Thunder, not Tropical Thunder…) Click For Trailer So here’s the skinny on this one. Robert Downey Jr is funny as you can see in the trailer. Tom Cruise’s character is funny mostly because it’s so not Cruise, and once I saw him … Read more
A movie theater full of Elvis Costellos. I’m not that old, but I did see the old version as a kid, even though it was considered an old movie when I did (hehehe – confusing you with my real age now?). Has nothing to do with this one. This movie is all about the … Read more
The picture is not a mirror image, that’s the way the sign is… http://www.nohostar.com/ 330 Lafayette St New York, NY 10012 (212) 925-0070 Map The NOHO Star is good food, good service, nice atmosphere, somewhat diner style. We had brunch, steak and egg, served with grits, all were good, fresh OJ was good, coffee was … Read more
Hell, boy! Fun, fun, fun. I find it a great movie. Any movie that starts with John Hurt gets extra points unconditionally. If it starts with John Hurt reading – pffff, double the points. The movie is funny, has good comic-book action, has the charm of Hellboy’s humane characteristics (yes, the red horned Ron Perelman … Read more
Surprised me. www.mantranj.com 275 E, Rt 4 (Westbound) Paramus, NJ 07652 Phone: 201-342-8868 Map There used to be a different Indian restaurant in the same location. No comparison. This restaurant is higher-end one, with nice NYC-style decor, a bar that opens till late (relative to this area’s close-by-9PM places) and… very good food. I … Read more
Oh so dark and never ending … Why? Why keep me in the theatre for 2.5 hours? Overall acting was great. Michael Caine is one and only, Heath Ledger did an amazing job, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, all great actors, each in his own (if somewhat crazy) way… but who casted Eric Roberts? … Read more
Yawn…. This is a movie that at the end you think to yourself “Why did they make it”? “Was there anything original or surprising there? Nah.”. It is not a bad movie when you consider the acting or the way it is made, but… it is slow, predictable, the music can put you to sleep … Read more
Ah, if only it was played by someone else. Look, chapeau to Sly, he’s made a huge franchise(s) and got his undeniable fame and fortune, and the bottom line speaks for itself… The movie is fun…. but…. I can’t ignore looking at his face and getting the sensation that he “ain’t the sharpest tool in … Read more
