A realistic, but feel good movie that proves JaDine has what it takes to be serious actors and not just a " pa-cute " love team. The two jell and their onscreen tandem is one of the most electrifying pairs there is. The story written by Marcelo Santos III is perfect for ...

The long wait, at least for me, was finally over.  I able to watch this movie a few hours ago, 9:00 PM to be precise, and I enjoyed every minute of it. When the trailer was shown, I wondered if it would be able to outdo the first one.  Seldom does a sequel, unless it was shot immediately after the one preceding it, and even before the first one was to be shown is shown, become better than the original.   I am happy to say, that this movie, at the very least, equals the first one.

Note: I think I was sleepy and hungry when I first published this via my food blog . LMAO! (I deleted it already.) ;-p A film by Nora Ephron Written for the Big Screen by Nora and Delia Ephron Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks Based on The Shop Around the Corner In 1998 I found myself watching another MEG RYAN and TOM HANKS tandem flick.  I am not sure which of their movies did I ever watch first.  Maybe it was Joe versus the Volcano or something else.  Wait, the thing in my head is When Harry Met Sally ...It's not Tom Hanks in that movie, but  Billy Crystal. This is just the third one. 💡📘📙📘💡 I think I mentioned somewhere on this blog that although I like Tom Hanks, there was this one movie that I hoped he wasn't the lead star.  But what can I do? He's the bankable one.  I think I get it anyway.  Why they think Tom Hanks is a cool leading man.  Even if his characters could get annoying at times, he is charmingly annoying. ...

James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) and his family face the ultimate test when an intruder drags the vicious outside world into their h ome. James, Mary (Lena Headey) and their two children struggle to survive the night while trying not to turn into monsters like the ones they are striving to avoid .-WWW This movie was a box office hit, but I never heard of it.  Thank goodness that it is being shown at HBO Hits and recently, I was able to watch it with my dad. Dad and I became curious because when we were channel surfing. this movie was about to start in a few seconds.   Story-wise, it lacks depth, but it is thrilling and interesting enough for one not to leave the theater, room or wherever else that person is watching this story.   The Purgers are futuristic Klu Klux Klan types.  Yea...
