Arbitrage (Movie)
“Arbitrage,” starring Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, is the story of a billionaire’s fall from grace. The title implies that the movie will be about international investment fraud, which sounds interesting, if a bit dry. However, the film pleasantly surprises by delivering an unexpected depth.
For the genre, …
VONGO
This is a great service for any movie buff. I love renting and buying movies but hate having to fight traffic just to get to a movie place. I tried the whole blockbuster online and netflix thing but hated having to wait for movies in the mail and then …

Megiddo: The Omega Code 2
If you’re the kind that likes to watch TBN and laugh at just how insane and silly these people really are, then you will probably enjoy Megiddo: The Omega Code 2. Although it proclaims itself as a sequel to the Omega Code, it isn’t really a sequel (although …
Mona Lisa Smile
It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” because I have always found it very hard to watch movies starring the actress Julia Roberts. This is because I’m used to her starring in a lot of romance films which I don’t like as …
Enchanted (Movie)
This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …
The Evil Dead (1981)
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Hal Delrich, and Theresa Tilly.
Directed by: Sam Raimi.
Launching Sam Raimi’s career, The Evil Dead is a weird mixture of gore, horror, and comedy; not exactly in the same vein as something such as RoboCop, that’s an entirely different animal of a film. …
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …

Movie I know who killed me
Whenever I read a tabloid article about Lindsay Lohan getting busted for drunk driving or entering re-hab, I can’t help but be saddened. That’s because, for all the negative publicity she receives, she is actually not that bad of an actress.
Her latest movie, I know who killed me, is …
Movie The Strangers
I love thriller, horror and drama movies but for the life of me I cannot classify this movie. I had a problem with the first scene. When the movie started Kristen, the main female character, was crying but I never really understood why she was crying. I had to …
Paranormal Activity 2 movie
Horror films scare me very much no matter how weak they are. So I’ll try to analyze as objectively Paranormal Activity 2 detaching myself from my “spectacular” feelings. Paranormal Activity 2 is a combination of the first prequel and sequel. It is a movie that scares the weak of …
A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …

Sherlock Holmes 2009 - Lock, Stock and Several Exploding Barrels.
This rollicking take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythology brings the old hack’s story up to date with several bangs. From the moment the film starts, we are plunged into the seedy underworld of Victorian London, and introduced to a hero who is both brilliant and rather unbalanced.

Skyline: The Movie
Another hour and a half of my life wasted watching the movie Skyline.

Elle (2016 Foreign Film)
I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …
Soul Survivors Movie
Soul Survivors is one of the most confusing movies ever made. Yet I still find myself watching it every few years. When I do re-watch it, I still find myself wondering what exactly happened, and feeling highly confused by the plot. Then a few months pass, and I end …
Apocalypto
Great pains were taken by Mel Gibson & Co. to get the historical accuracies down, and this TLC shows in this fascinating tale of survival and separation. When a tribe of Indians are attacked and enslaved, Jaguar Paw vows to return to rescue his son and pregnant wife, who …
The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
On the Outs (R, 2004) movie
I had never heard of this movie before. But when I saw that it was about three troubled teenaged girls on the East Coast, I was immediately intrigued. This is because independent films featuring adolescents in New York or New Jersey (which this story took place) …
The Man Who Wasn’t There movie
After almost ten years of films that didn’t speak to me the Coen brothers finally created something interesting again. The Man Who Wasn’t There is something of a homage to the old great noir films like The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon. In the center stands Billy Bob …

Just Friends film
Typically, when you try to turn a love story into a comedy, it turns out to be funny. But, in the case of Just Friends, it’s just pathetic.
Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brander, an formerly overweight high school student who, 10 years later tries to win the love of his …

Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime

This film tells the story of a yellow Rolls-Royce, exactly as the title says. The story is told in episodes, showing how the car exchanges owner and telling the stories of these people. It is owned by so different people as an english marquis, an italian mob boss and …
Three monkeys movie
The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …

What’s comfortable with the franchise in cinema is that the viewer knows what he is buying, what he expects and what he will get because the label matches the content . The audience has the right to like or not to like only the first film. Each subsequent new …
Broken Bridges movie
“Broken Bridges” has a good story with great potential in attracting a great audience, however something along the line failed. The acting is awful, the filming and editing is sadly not good enough and the sound of this movie is terrible! In other words, this movie sucks!
Why did I …
Red Cliff
Red Cliff, directed by John Woo, has lots of stars including Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi ling and Zhao Wei. The budget for this show was incredible. With an estimated of US$80 million, it was made the most expensive film to be …

Shaadi No.1

Take Me Home Tonight (2011 Movie)
This is one of those movies that wastes all of it’s good scenes in the trailer to entice people to come see it. When you actually watch the whole movie, you’ll realize you’ve already seen all the good parts and you’re left with a mediocre, forgettable movie.
I missed this …
Rose Red, movie directed by Stephen King

Seven Pounds Movie

I honestly didn’t get the …
Movie Nuts
Nuts has too much profanity in it for my taste, but otherwise, Nuts is a wonderful movie. Never assume because your assumptions may be all wrong. People wanted to judge Claudia Draper, a woman accused of murder. She was a high priced call girl, and that’s …
