Malik’s Movie Reviews Past & Present
Crazy Heart tells the story of an alcoholic, washed up country singer who is inspired to try for one last chance at redemption. In the lead role, Jeff Bridges comes off as more than believable in the lead role of the singer whose real name we only hear briefly in the third act. As […]
A few different things going on as 2010 gets into full swing… For those of you who come by for the film reviews, I’ve been invited to post my reviews on 7tavern.com. A relatively young site like this one; their angle revolves around gathering the reviews from bloggers like myself in all types of formats. […]
Invictus tells the story of the 1995 South African rugby team. Hyped up by the newly elected president of South Africa Nelson Mandela, the rugby team goes on a great run in the 1995 World Cup. (I won’t ruin it for you if they won or loss; rugby is not my forte so the […]

We’ll see how this new decade plays out, but at the moment this feels like the year where all the various ‘instruments’ that are playing the soundtrack of my life are starting to all play the same […]
Emily Blunt has been nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama for her turn as Victoria in The Young Victoria. Let me start by saying this, if you have no interest in the ‘English period piece’ genre, this film won’t win you over. If you love things in the Jane Austen vein, […]
