Review: Valkyrie

This is the end of the line – the end of a long and successfull career for one Tom Cruise. Or at least, that’s what it was supposed to be. Right from the start, negativity came bursting out of the news that this movie was even being made. Then came the early words of the [...]

Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

One of the most anticipated movies of the calender year arrived on Christmas Day: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
