I just watched this movie recently, and from the looks of it, I do not think I will ever watch it again. Honestly, I thought it was a bankable film because it starred George Clooney and so far, I have been quite satisfied with his films, until I …

Unlike recent years, animated movies really dove down in quality. The Emoji Movie is considered as one of the worst movies ever made; The Lego Ninjago’s critical acclaim failed to match its predecessors’ wit; and then we have Despicable Me 3 and The Boss Baby. We did have The Lego …

I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler but I like Drew Barrymore that’s why I saw the movie 50 First Dates. I didn’t expect that I would like the movie because I never liked Adam Sandler’s style of comedy. I think he’s corny. But surprisingly I liked it …

I love horror movies but this one was a real dud. The horror parts were fine, the blood and gore looked believable and the death scenes were realistic and well acted. My main problem with this film is it lacked suspense and it was boring. Normally …

You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …

DIE HARD is one of the greatest action movies of all time. I thought this movie was very funny and also very violent. The plot is simple but great. A bunch of terrorist have taken over a hotel and want to take all the money in the place. They also …

It took a long time for me to watch Shawn of the Dead, because I thought it would simply be one of those stupid satires on horror movies, similar to Scary Movie and its sequels, and I am not very fond of those films. But, a few years ago, …

Spider man 3 script was poorly written,too many characters,forgot what story to tell.At the same time,movie manages to entertain and you will see breath-taking fight scenes,rich visuals etc., You feel that many scenes are selected from other movies or previous spider man movies.
Some spoilers
There are good scenes where Parker …

Tomorrowland was one of those movies that I was silly enough to be fooled into thinking was actually going to be good. After watching the trailer I thought, “This looks good. I wonder why I’m not hearing much about this movie”. After sitting through over two hours of it hoping …

Chinese cinema owes a lot to Ang Lee’s breakthrough masterpiece at the Academy Awards. Not only is the first Asian film to gain mass popularity, acclaim and high prestige awards, it was followed by a whole stream of wuxia films that is still running and to be honest none …

“Meet Joe Black” classifies as one of the top ten movies Hollywood has produced, in my opinion at least. The movie was loosely based on the black and white film “Death Takes a Holiday.” Brad Pitt played Death, Anthony Hopkins played Bill Parrish, and Claire Forlani played Susan Parrish. …

36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …

Movie adaptation has been too prevalent nowadays. The film “I Am Number Four” is based from the novel of the same title by Pittacus Lore. The movie stars Alex Pettyfer as Number Four and Diana Agron of Glee as Pettyfer’s love interest in the film. The movie is directed …

I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …

I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …

While there was excitement in getting the first and second Alien in BluRay, I only got this one, Alien 3, just to continue the collection. Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray is what I got. While I don’t watch it as much as I do the other Alien films, …

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …

I really wasn’t expecting much when I sat down the other night to watch the 2009 movie ANGEL OF DEATH. I have to admit that I usually have a bit of a problem with movies that have strong female leads characters as the film-makers usually get it so wrong.
…

I love Beyonce. I love her as a singer, I loverd her as an entertainer and a performer, and I love her as an actress. She wasn’t so bad here, I actually thought she was way too much of a natural and this movie is perfect for her since …

Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …

From 1938, The Duke Is Tops is a film that features an all black cast, and what I like about it is that race isn’t really a part of this picture. This movie could have had any cast. These performers talked normally, performed normally, and just acted …

Recently, my interest in horror movies has weaned a bit and I have had a shift towards inspirational movies that have a financial quest inclination to them, with the most recent delight being a movie called ‘The Ultimate Gift’, starring Drew Fuller.
From the very first moment I was completely …

Desi Arnaz Jr. and Mike Evans starred in the production, with Arnaz …

The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …

Rhythm in the Clouds from 1937 just did nothing for me in spite of the fact that on the surface it had a story that might normally intrigue me. To be honest, I am not certain why that lure did not happen.
Rhythm in the Clouds starred Patricia Ellis …

Wow. Where to begin with this film. I admit I was a bit nervous about Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, but all of those trepidations were washed away within the first ten minutes of the movie. The story opens with the kidnapping of a little girl and the …

One of my daughter’s favorite all time movie is Finding Nemo. She was obsessed with Nemo for such a long time. I enjoyed watching this movie with her because it was a classic. Anything that is made by Disney or Disney Pixar is such a great …

Connie and Carla is a nice comedy movie. The movie stars Nia Vardalos, Toni Collette and David Duchovny in the main roles and they did a nice job. It is the story of two friends, Vardalos and Collette whose love for musical theater makes them remain jobless. They don’t …

9 chronicles the story of a group of Stichpunks (dolls brought to life through the process of alchemy) and their struggles against Machines.
I wanted to enjoy this film. It promised to deliver an exciting experience: the visuals were distinctive; the soundtrack was appropriately moody; and I thought the …

When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …

It’s amazing how much of a learning tool Netflix has been for me. I rented “Carandiru” without ever hearing about the inmate/police riot that occurred in October of 1992. I know that I wasn’t really up on world events during that time. But knowing …

Does anyone really get the movie, A Clockwork Orange? I know that I don’t! I have tried to understand if A Clockwork Orange is about more than just what you see, sort of like is there a subplot that I should be understanding, but I come up with the …

Absence of Malice is a marvelous Paul Newman movie. He plays Michael Gallagher, the son of a late mafia boss. He’s not in the business, but one day he picks up the newspaper and sees that his name has been plastered all over it with a bunch …

While this movie brought back the original characters as well as the same actors who played them, it was just lacking in the area of what I was looking for in a sequel to the first movie. It had all of the chemistry and potential for the greatness of …

The Color Purple (1985) was a great film which was both melancholy and sentimental that was taken from the 1983 Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning book which was written by Alice Walker. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and co-written by Alice Walkeras well. This story centered …

My daughter is currently watching Tom and Jerry the Movie for the second time tonight. While she seems to enjoy the movie (which is probably the only thing that matters), I have to say I’m not a huge fan of it.
Overall, it isn’t a terrible movie, the cat and …

Yesterday I watched the movie of House of wax. Well, it was really frightening. The main caracters are Elisha Cuthbert, Paris Hilton, Chad Michael Murray, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams. A group of friends on their way to a college football game falls prey to a pair of murderous brothers …

I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …

This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).
The movie itself is sort of silly in the way a lot of kids movies …

‘The Theory of Everything’ is a biographical, romantic film based on the memoir ‘Traveling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen’ by Jane Wilde Hawking.

I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …
