Iron Man

new-iron-man-movie-poster_278×417.jpgIron Man was probably one of the best action movies of its kind that I have seen. Marvel movies are usually very tasteless and appeal to only a narrow audience, but this film is an exception. The film is about a millionaire by the name of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) , who also happens to be a technological genius. He made his fortune with his father’s weapon company and after being kidnapped in the middle east and escaping with the help of an awesome metal suit,

I am Legend- many questions arise

i-am-legend-poster_1.jpgOn the surface, I am Legend, starring Will Smith, is a good film. The special effects are, well, effective, and a lot of the scenes are intense, keeping you on the edge of your seat. This movie is a remake and adaptation. It is the third movie adaptation of the same title novel by Richard Matheson, that was originally published in 1954 (a friend of mine actually read it).

Furthermore,

My Review of Enchanted

enchanted.jpgTrying to be witty, I shall say that Enchanted was an enchanting movie. It is cross between a Disney Princess classic and all those movies about young people trying to make it in New York City and getting some street smarts. The story goes that Giselle (played by Amy Adams) is a fair maiden from a Disney animated classic who fell in love with her prince (played by James Marsden) after only one day the two are about to get married. However

Under the Tuscan Sun

1175.jpgUnder the Tuscan Sun is a delightful movie about a writer who tries to find happiness again when she goes through a painfull divorce. Starring Diane Lane, Sandra Oh, and other wonderful actors, this movie is a good story about how the heart can heal and happiness can be found again. This film is based very loosely on the book Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. In the movie, Frances goes on a tour of Tuscany when …
