"24" AND THE BREAKING POINT

It seems a miracle to me that I had managed to remain a steady viewer of FOX-TV’s "24" between the years 2001 and 2010. Despite being a pretty good series, it had presented its viewers with some mind boggling plotlines. ( Collapse )

"THOR" (2011) Review

My knowledge of European-based mythology is very sketchy. I am familiar with some figures of both the Greek and Roman mythologies. But my knowledge of Norse mythology is even less. As for the many characters from Marvel Comics, I barely knew about any of them - aside from "SPIDER-MAN", until the past decade or so.

"CHANGELING" (2008) Review

Set in Los Angeles of the late 1920s, "CHANGELING" is based upon a true story about a single mother who realized that the boy returned to her after a kidnapping is not her son. After confronting the city authorities, they vilified her as delusional and an unfit mother. The movie’s events were related to the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders, an infamous kidnapping and murder case that was uncovered in 1928. ( Collapse )
