Go West, Young Girl movie
I actually only saw Go West, Young Girl for the first time last year. It’s another Karen Valentine movie from 1978 that relies on her innocent, cutesy, and even spunky persona to succeed. She plays Netty Booth, an Eastern reporter who wants to go west to make …
Night Watch
Night Watch is a movie I saw going on recently when I was at someone’s house watching television. At first I had mistaken it for a movie from the 80s I had seen going on several times, but after a while I realised that it was actually a movie …

Breach
The best way to describe the movie “Breach” is a Bourne story without the action. Based on a true story, “Breach” has a great cast of actors Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney. The true pity is that this movie was released in the same year …

Hardball (2001)
A simple movie with a simple plot that anyone can relate to. nothing too over the top or overly dramatic about it, just a run of the mill drama with some appeal if you actually get in too deep and start to watch the movie in detail. This movie …
Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie
I have been able to see almost every new movie being shown in cinemas right now because of the 1 year off I have gifted myself. And so far, I will rate Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) as the most promising in terms of acting, story, excitement, and well, …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
The Hurt Locker
Prior to bagging the best picture trophy, this was not one of my favorites. I was rooting for The Blind Side or Precious for the Best Picture in this year’s Academy Awards.
The story revolves around the lives of William James who heads the US Army Explosive Disposal …

CUT BACK: facing ageism - Documentary by Patricia Sahertian
I just finished watching Cut Back and I have to say I was impressed. The documentary basically deals with the real life issues people face when they are downsized and need to look for a job at 50. There were a couple of really good stories in …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …

North & South movie
Ah (Sigh!), North & South. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. That would actually be saying a lot considering that first, I haven’t seen one (a beautiful movie, that is) in such a long time; and second, I rarely dub a movie as beautiful if …
21 (movie)
Don’t make the mistake to relegate the movie “21″ as just another movie focused on poker, because you will make one big error. The movie “21″ has the right recipe to attract audience from different generations to watch it because it includes drama, romance and hype.
The story of the …
Wanted (2008 Movie)
Wanted the movie is a good action flick and mixed with humor. Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy star as the main characters in this movie.

Movie The Pursuit of Happiness
When I first saw previews to the Pursuit of Happiness, I figured it was going to be a tear jerker but would ultimately be a boring film. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
Will Smith has attempted to do inspirational films before and has failed. He struck gold in …
The Shawshank Redemption
Can Hollywood, typically creating things for amusement purposes only, create art? To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process. Such an intimidating task requires an tremendously capable artist with an indisputable managerial …
Movie Lili
One of the truly beautiful and often overlooked classics of the 1950’s, MGM’s Lili is not only a great family film but one that speaks to the romantic in all of us.

Grease
I have seen the movie Grease probably about 50 times since I was a kid. And, even though I have seen it that many times, I can’t help but take the time to watch at least part of it whenever I come across it on television.
I’m not sure what …
Hope Floats movie
When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …

Headless Horseman movie
I wanted to watch a horror movie with my wife last night but, since we were starting pretty late, I didn’t want to watch anything that was well-known (read that as good) just in case we ended up falling asleep during it. So, I loaded the movie Headless Horseman …
Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …

Down to You (starring Julia Stiles)
I love this movie so much! Freddie Prinze Jr. is one of my most favorite actor and as for actress, Julia Stiles isn’t that bad too. Both of them simply rock in this movie I’ve watched before, Down to You. With a cool name as Imogen, Julia …

500 Days of Summer movie
First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …
The Curse of the Wear Rabbit
The Curse of The Wear Rabbit seem to amaze me when it comes to special effects. I like how they made the clays to move in the scenes as if they were real. I like how they made the clay models seem to be living. I also like how …
Yuva (movie)
Yuva meaning youth. The movie Yuva is based on politics and youth. It depicts the role of politics in a youth’s life. The film is directed by Mani Ratnam, one of the best directors in India. I went to watch this film first day first show (Lol). I liked …

Mean Girls Movie (2004)
After Jawbreaker and Clueless, another girlie chick flick came out in the title of Mean Girls.

The movie …
The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
Koizora (Sky of Love)
Koizora (Sky of Love) is the portrayal of unrealistic youthful love. What started as a sweet and innocent relationship between two Japanese high school students ends up in a chaos of conflicts only meant to happen in movies. Now, this negative perspective only occurs since the movie is …
Confessions of a shopaholic movie
I saw the movie recently, one early morning when I wasn’t feeling to well and I couldn’t sleep, and I must say that it actually managed to keep my interest and to somewhat distract me from my sickness.
Confessions of a shopaholic has all the classic features …
Sunless movie
This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …
Hellboy 2 (R, 2008)
I typically do not like these types of films where the hero is grotesque, but has these sensitive powers. I was intrigued by the Hellboy concept, but never bothered to watch the first one. I have been told that it is probably a good thing as …
Beowulf (2007)
This movie is not to be confused with another movie by the same name and a similar plot which was released some time in either the late nineteen nineties or the early 2000s. I watched this movie some time either last week or the week before on a cable …
American History X
I have long heard of the movie “American History X” being referred to from time to time from the late nineteen nineties. However, I never brought myself to watch it being that I had somehow thought that it would be another movie about America’s racist history and I did …
