Toy Story was the revolutionary 1995 computer-animated hit that started it all. It was Pixar’s first feature film, and it’s said to be the first computer-animated film to be completed. This was surely a new adventure for Tom Hanks, who did the voice of “Woody†the lead character. He was on top of his career [...]
This movie was based from the 1982 novel by Stephen King, entitled “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemptionâ€. But take note, the late great sex symbol Rita Hayworth was never on the film, but her pin-up served more than just an inspiration (or male energy & imagination inducer) for a guy who’s imprisoned.

The Green Mile mentioned in the movie is actually the path where a death row [...]
The Langoliers follows the story of passengers who succumb to nothingness in mid-flight. Sure, we literally see nothing when you’re 37,000 feet up in the air but in this made-for-TV movie, passengers of the plane discovered that they’re actually traveling in oblivion. In this Stephen King thriller starring a very capable David Morse, the passengers [...]
The Wedding Singer is one memorable movie by Adam Sandler because of that immortal acapella song I Wanna Grow Old With You which has since become the anthem of lovers all around the world. The irony is that the song is not a cut from any album intended to be incorporated in a movie; it [...]
Adam Sandler here takes care of a kid to impress his girlfriend. This would have been one ideal movie for people to view and learn some lessons except it is not. Invectives hurled in this movie border an PG 13 rating and Adam Sandler teaches his adopted kid lots of mischievousness that I pity the [...]
