The Kingdom and the Beauty

The Royal Pair of Filmdom

Even in celluloid world, we pay homage to kings, queens and an assortment of royalties.

Here is the ever debonair Ang Lee and the irresistible Nicole Kidman.

For the current Cannes Film Festival, they are indeed the festival's anointed King and Beauty.

Rock of Ages

Fun-filled Musical

Just when you think it is going to be another of those rock pop movies, it came on to you more like a modern day musical.

The Ever Stoned Stacy

There is love, there is jealousy and misunderstanding.

There is a season for despair, and the dawn of hope.

The Oklahoma Beauty

Nice songs, good editing and the entire movie runs on seamlessly from one episode to another before the finale at the Bourbon at The Strip.

The Pole Dancing  Joint Queen

Stars Tom Cruise as weird Stacy Jaxx, Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough and the vivacious Catherine Zeta Jones.

Wah! I Also Want to Be CM of Sarawak....

Imagine, more pay than PM!

Sarawak Boleh!

Wahloi! I also want-leh...........

Parental Guidance and Good Sense!

Wholesome fun!

It really brings back the joys of the movies of the 1990's.

It could be thirty years down the road but this type of movie continues to entertain in that special manner that is at once unadulterated fun without losing the issue of the day.

Yes, "Parenting" or the lack of it.

In this movie, Billy Crystal and Bette Midler are the parents that have been invited over to take care of their grandchildren when their parents have to go out of town. The kids and their idiosyncrasies will drive anyone up the wall and they did.

However, as in most movies, there come the time for resolution and ultimately, triumph!

Great movie, great dialogue and great acting,kids!

Escape from Planet Earth

Aliens Trapped on Earth

If you think space creature cartoons are alien and possibly distasteful, think again.

The characters developed in this cartoon feature,"Escape from Planet Earth" is one marvelous offering that truly entertains.

Lovable Creatures

In every way, it encapsulates the strengths and weaknesses of characters, their flaws and failings and oftentimes their need for unnecessary revenge that leads to abuse of power upon their fellow beings, be they aliens from distant stars or otherwise.

I enjoyed this movie very much for its dialogue and the simply irresistible appealing music and songs.

True blue family fare.

Great movie to watch with the kids!

OZ-Great and Powerful Again

An Interesting Outing

I think this is a re-run and it features James Franco in a comical role as that always in absentia Wizard of OZ that conned the whole Emerald City and yet won the day. Sam Raimi directs.

Franco as the circus magician

Together along with him this time are the lovable and charming Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams  and Rachel Weisz.

Pretty Players

From a black and white beginning it transforms into full vivid colour when we can out of the hurricane into Oz. This reminds me of the same mode used in that classic Wizard of Oz of yesteryear.

There is great special effects here though the story continues to be corny and insipid.

Is this a True Reflection?

Is Teng Boo calling a spade a spade because of an exogenous factor called the NEP?

Watch this.
