Cruel Intentions (1999)

For those who saw the magnificent 1988 "Dangerous Liaisons" will view "Cruel Intentions" as a travesty, a lame reworking of Choderlos de Laclos' "Les Liaisons Dangereuses". But for me it's not a lame reworking but a clever ad...

Mamma Mia! (2008)

108 mins     Comedy, Musical, Romance      

On paper "Mamma Mia!" is a movie which shouldn't really appeal to me, a seriously girly movie, a modern musical and featuring the songs of Abba, those same tunes which remind me of being an 8 year old during the 70s. But then...

110 mins     Action , Comedy, Romance
