Today's Movie

Christiana Milian shines as Gabriela Diaz, a corporate executive, who wins an Inn and finds real love along the way.

The movie works as a romantic comedy-drama because the element of love isn't rushed like in most Hollywood movies. It is fully developed and the chemistry is undeniable.

From the get-go, Milian carries the movie and her portrayal of a clumsy but lovable and fiercely independent woman makes her character interesting.
The movie's ending is predictable but that doesn't stop it from being entertaining, thanks to the humour which doesn't look forced (watch out for Gilbert the goat).
FALLING INN LOVE is a rom-com that is everything that it promises to be and more, bolstered by a sincere performance from its two leads.

Based on the true story of an American ship getting hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009.

Tom Hanks playing the role of Captain Phillips performed well. You've probably watched lots of hijacking and hostage scenes but Paul Greengrass is the director of this, so you can imagine how much reality and tension he showed in the movie.

The sensual tension and negotiation scenes are so naturally captured that they seem like real-time action. The actors playing the role of Somali pirates gave an amazing performance.

The last 10 minutes acting of Tom Hanks will give you goosebumps. You will enjoy the movie till the end without yawning.

Jason Statham is at his best in “Mechanic: Resurrection” (2016), and all elements of a great film

Cinematography amongst a collection of global locations; acting with a strong ensemble; excellent storyline; thrilling action, drama, and yes, romance with Jessica Alba, who does a fine job as the must-cooperate do-gooder helping youngsters in Cambodia.

And just when you might think, “This can’t get any better,” enter Tommy Lee Jones and new twists of fun and games.
