Downton Abbey (2019) Review!!

Synopsis – The continuing story of the Crawley family, wealthy owners of a large estate in the English countryside in the early 20th century. My Take – As history remains bare witness, TV show adaptions and sequels have almost never translate well to the big screen. With a fact remaining how a single/multiple story-line developed over a period of a multiple episodes and season, doesn’t … Continue reading Downton Abbey (2019) Review!!

Breathe (2017) Review!!

Synopsis – The inspiring true love story of Robin and Diana Cavendish, an adventurous couple who refuse to give up in the face of a devastating disease.

Synopsis – The final Viceroy of India, Lord Mountbatten, is tasked with overseeing the transition of British India to independence, but meets with conflict as different sides clash in the face of monumental change.

One of the most pleasant movie surprises in recent memory is 2014’s Paddington. While the trailers made the film look fairly atrocious, it turned out to be anything but.

Thankfully, other critics and audiences found it equally delightful, and it powered the film to $270 million worldwide to become the … Continue reading Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson Join ‘Paddington 2’!!
