Lucky Star anime series
I came across a cute and girly series anime recently, called “Lucky Star.” The story follows the lives of several girls attending a Japanese high school, with a sense of humor. The main character is Konata Izumi,a.k.a Kona -chan; she’s lazy due to her love of anime and video …
Swarmed movie
Swarmed is essentially a movie about a lot big, bad bugs, specifically wasps. It all starts with an experimental chemical that gets taken from a lab and sprayed on some wasps. It’s not a good thing. The wasps become more intense and people-hungry as the movie …
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York movie
The movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was the sequel and successor to one of the biggest hit movies of the 20th century, “Home Alone”. Of course, like many other sequels with very successful prequels, this movie didn’t do well as the first. Nevertheless, it was still …
Laws of Attraction
I must have watched “Laws of Attraction” more than 10 times and I still enjoy watching it and watching it. I like this romantic movie so much because there is great on screen chemistry between the three main actors involved in it Pierce Brosnon, Julianne Moore and …
Constantine (2005)
This movie is quite disappointing. It really leads human thinking to nowhere. It’s simple as this, if you’re not for heaven, you go to hell. There are only two destinations. But this movie gives an exception to one man. There is no such thing …
Dan in Real Life
I love going to the cinema. I love the whole experience. Seeing the film on the big screen, eating hot dogs and popcorn and drinking soft drinks. For me the entire experience is enjoyable and I’ve sat through some fairly mediocre films just because i enjoy going to the …
Dog Day Afternoon Movie
Sidney Lumet is perhaps one of the most underrated american directors in my opinion with great films like 12 Angry Men, Serpico and Long Day’s Journey Into Night on his account. Dog Day Afternoon shows Al Pacino in one of his major roles as a bank robber, and also …
Murder at 1600
I just watched “Murder at 1600″ in which Wesley Snipes plays Detective Harlan Regis trying to solve the murder of a young secretary in the White House.
This is an action adventure movie.
A janitor is arrested quickly for the murder however, Regis is not sure he is the true …
The Mark of Zorro (1940)
Filmgoers today associate “Zorro” with Antonio Banderas but, as wonderful as Banderas is in the title role of the more updated version of this film, he can’t hold a candle to the original “Mark of Zorro” star Tyrone Power, who is just magnificent in this movie.
Power was at the …
Disney’s Prep & Landing
A couple days ago, I saw previews for a new animated Christmas special called Disney’s Prep & Landing. It looked kind of cute so I took the time to watch it with our daughter last night (she had a snow day today so I didn’t mind letting her stay …
I, Robot
This movie is about the future, where there are robots. Will Smith is the main character in the movie. I think he does an amazing job in the movie and wouldn’t have been that good if he wasn’t in it. I really enjoyed watching the movie and it kept …
Takers Movie (2010)
I found this movie interesting at first because it featured a nice cast including Matt Dillon, Jay Hernandez, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Chris Brown, T.I., and Zoe Saldana. The movie is all about a group of professional robbers trying a one-time, big-time heist but before they do their largest …
The 10th Kingdom miniseries/movie
Maybe I’m a little late in reviewing “The 10th Kingdom” miniseries, but seeing as it’s the ten year anniversary of when it aired on NBC, I figured I’d share my thoughts. I recently watched the DVD of “The 10th Kingdom”, and it’s the first time I’ve seen the movie …

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 …

Enchanted movie
I watched this movie with my sister recently. Overall it was an alright movie, we both got bored and uninterested in the movie. I feel like it dragged on forever and was way too long. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie that she liked. My …
Warrior 2011 Film
Although Warrior came out in 2011 I never heard of it until recently and so I decided to watch it and see if it was any good. Warrior is an action drama film that was made in 2011, the film stars actors such as Tom hardy and Joel …
Independence day
Well, what an intriguing mystery on how the aliens (if there are) may look like was given a hypothetical description in this movie. Yes, it is possible that our technology here on earth may be a little rusty but perhaps those aliens could have done something about their …

I had read the book and really wanted to see this movie. I took my daughter with me, as she had read the book as well. We were both hoping for a different ending than the book had, and we were happy to see an ending we both liked. …
The Puppet Masters
The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …
Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the best movies in the theaters. Dead Mans Chest was the 2nd pirates’ movie to come out. It came out on July 7th 2006. The movie was so popular that some people even camped out at some theaters the opening night just …

I first became aware of these movie recently when I was on summer holidays. I had gone to a friend’s house and saw it being aired on television. At first I thought it looked a little interesting so I actually decided to forget about what I had gone there …
Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set
The Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set is a three DVD set that includes just five Columbo episodes. It’s not much, but that’s all of the movies that aired in 1989.
I don’t like how the DVDs are set up, however. Universal isn’t known for providing quality …
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
If you are thinking on watching G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, it’s worth your money, trust me. That’s what I feel on the whole. This movie has the ever-rising and handsome Channing Tatum as the main character, I suppose and he will be really big in future, …
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Well, I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I did like his Robin Hoods Prince of Thieves movie when it first came out so I figured I would take the time to watch it again yesterday.
It still is one of the better Robin Hood movies I’ve watched but …
Sex and the City The Movie
Sex in the City, The Movie was fabulous. I missed the HBO series because I don’t get HBO. Over two weeks, I rented all five years from Blockbuster.com and couldn’t watch them fast enough. Is it over the top sometimes? Yes. Is there any reality? …
Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
Revolutionary Road Movie (2008)
I was excited to see another movie that stars the tandem of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. This time it was in the movie “Revolutionary Road”. This was based on a novel written by Robert Yates.
The setting is 1960s, and the young couple Frank and April Wheeler are not …
The Karate Kid Movie 2010
Ok, so I had watched this movie 2 times in the theater, and I would watch it again if given the chance! This movie runs for 2 hours, which I didn’t even notice as the time flew by for me. First, this movie is perfect for all ages, whether …
Blue Valentine movie
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …
Movie Flight of Phoenix

Well, last night …
Final Destination 3 movie
When I saw the previews for Final Destination 3, I remember thinking the producers were overkilling on an otherwise great franchise. When I watched the movie on DVD, I found I was right.
The plot of the movie seemed a bit forced and was confusing from the start. Beginning with …
Zoolander movie
Zoolander is a funny yet a nice movie to learn a lesson.I like the film very much,its really funny and every scene is full humorous actions and speech.Ben stiller was great in playing Derek Zoolander,he really did make the character alive and believable.He’s acting as the silly and clumsy …
Seven Pounds DVD
I rented the DVD ‘Seven Pounds,’ starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, fully expecting to see a romantic, heart warming story, much in the same genre as ‘Pursuit of Happyness;’ instead, I found it to be a mostly dark and agonizing tale, and even slightly creepy.
I do have to …
The Return movie
I went to see “The Return” today and I can tell you this movie surprises me. When I first went into the movie theatre, I thought this movie was just another ghost movie. However, I went to watch it anyway because Sarah Michelle Gellar is on of my favorite …
The Ninth Gate, movie
Johnny Depp steps out in a new role as a rare book expert preying on the loss and misfortune of others. It’s a long way from his more known characters, but his performance is excellent in this dark and somewhat comical exploration of secret societies and the quest to …
21 Jump Street starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill (2012 Movie)
This updated version of the television classic that starred Johnny Depp has been highly anticipated, and it has received a lot of great reviews. This comedy is funny, likable and very entertaining.

Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
Shrek The Third
My daughter and I are both huge fans of Shrek. She really likes Fiona because she is a princess, and I think Shrek is hilarious. We have all three of their movies on DVD. When Shrek the Third came out into the movie theaters, we had …
