Some movies tend to walk on a very standard tightrope. You know you have to walk straight. But The Little Things movie is just the exact opposite.

Big Fish Movie (2003) defies the very well-known fact that every work of fiction is inspired by reality, and points out that there are some unusual occasions when fiction becomes the source of inspiration for reality. This movie is one of those unusual occasions. Watching Tim Burton‘s Big Fish 2003 is like being transported to …
Unlike most movies out there, Drive movie 2011 is a narrative based more on sensorial experiences than dialogues from the characters.
