The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Francisco Scaramanga (Lee) is the world’s leading assassin, pulling in a million dollars per killing. He loves the kill as much as the money, thinking it an art-form, as evidenced by his use of...

Anger Management (2003)
As appealing as the match-up of Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson is, very little else seems right about Anger Management, a very contrived comedy that plays mostly for lowbrow laughs and silly hysterics. The two...
Schindler’s List (1993)
Sometimes a film is more than a film. Sometimes it’s an indefinable experience, so gripping and engaging that you soon forget you are even watching a movie. Schindler’s List is one such film. Without a...

Tai Chi 2 (1996)
I’m not altogether sure why this is called TAI CHI “2” because by all appearances this is not a sequel, and if by some small chance it is, you certainly don’t need to see the first...
