SALT (2010) – An old-school action thriller
Australian movie director Phillip Noyce is well-known for films like Patriot Games and A Clear And Present Danger, but with Salt, he brings back the old-school thriller with exceptional action sequences and a story that many might believe is overcooked, yet delicious in its own way.

August Rush (2007) – A Mystical, Musical Tale
For quite some days I was trying to write about a film but somehow could not find myself hooked into anything. Finally, I picked up August Rush but then preferred to watch it again on DVD before putting my thoughts on the film. August Rush is a drama film (not much romance though) with enough […]
