After Dark Horror Fest: Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is this weird little movie that I’m still not too sure about. I bought it because I had seen almost every other movie in the 2007 After Dark Horror Series except for this one. Looking at the back of the box and seeing the actors in the …
The Graduate movie
Mike Nichols’ classic film about the confused young Benjamin who is seduced by a older woman, a friend of his parents, which, he later finds out, is an act to keep him away from the daughter of this family, who he in fact is in love with. This is …
Scary Movie
A hideous “comedy” that is supposed to make fun of old horror movie cliches with a focus on predictable storytelling and shock effects. However, all it does is show a very long and disturbing series of prejudice, poor taste and idiotic humour. The film is by the way is …
Wall*e
Wall*e is such a cute movie. I rented it for my kids the day that it was finally available on DVD.
It’s a story about a trash robot that was left on earth, along with other trash robots, all most seven hundred years ago. Humans had made so much trash …
Movie Friday (1995)
I love to watch movies, and I have quite an extensive movie collection going on. One of the movies in that collection that I love to watch over and over again is “Friday,” starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. Ice Cube plays Craig, a now grown man, still living …
Blood Diamond

Rabbit Hole movie
Rabbit Hole is the best drama that I’ve seen this year. The film has to offer that quality of that the drama watchers want and they will love it. A very sensitive issue is exposed in a way that makes your bones shake, and the professionalism of the …
The Parent Trap
I am reviewing the older version of The Parent Trap, starring Hallie Mills. There are two twins. They each go to camp. They don’t know the other exists. They see each other at camp and hate one another. They go to great trouble to make the other one …

Angels & Demons Movie
Having read this book, I can say the movie is quite acceptable compared to the other movies also derived from novels such as the Harry Potter series, here in this movie and novel I can say that the movie didn’t deviate as much as the other films did and …
Columbo: It’s All in the Game movie
Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …
Amadeus
Somehow, I thought that this movie was made in the 1990’s, so I was rather surprised to find out that its release date is 1984. I rented it from the library after seeing it mentioned in a book I was reading (totally unrelated) that had stirred my interest. The …
Me, Myself, and Irene
Me, Myself, and Irene is a hilarious movie starring Jim Carey and Renee Zellweger. Jim Carrey plays a guy who has a split personality. It’s a movie about two people (Carey and Zellweger) who fall in love, run from corrupted cops and Zellweger’s ex-boyfriend all while fighting …

Saving Private Ryan
This movie has one of the best opening 30 minutes ever. It takes you for the ride of your life in a realistic portrayal of what D-Day was actually like at the height of WWII. The brutalness and trueness of this first battle can’t help but hook …
That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
Kingdom of Heaven movie
“Kingdom of Heaven” was the second film, a part from the lord of the rings trilogy in which I can remember watching the actor Orlando Bloom in the year 2005. At the time that the movie was released, I didn’t go to see it in theatres because I was …
Ice Age movie
It is a movie that shows a brilliant work of animation combined with fantabulous story line. I love this film and have seen it a number of times. But every time I liked it equally well. The prehistoric creatures have been shown to come so alive on screen that …

Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.
While the concept behind the movie is a good one, it’s set in the future and water is scarce; something that creates a world …
Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
One of the many vampire vs. werewolf movies that have graced the silver screen, New Moon rates among one of the better attempts. It had a good blend of romance, action, and suspense, while not overplaying the supernatural card. The mixture was good, but and it added …
Protocol movie
Protocol is a nice little comedy about Sunny Davis, a cocktail waitress who saves a dignitary and goes to work for the government. It’s a crazy story that is as probable as it is improbable in this media-conscious world of ours.
Goldie Hawn is Sunny, an upbeat, innocent, and …
Heat Wave (NR, 1990) movie
I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …
Analyze This (1999)

Hush Hush Sweet Charlotee (movie)
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is a movie about an old woman, Charlotte, who is played by Bette Davis. I love Bette Davis and certainly Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is one of her best films. So Charlotte is living the remaining years of her life in an old mansion with …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …
30 Days of Night Movie
From the Director of Hard Candy, comes a not so average vampire flick. Produced by Sam Raimi who brought you the Evil Dead series. This movie isn’t life changing, but it absolutely deserves a watch!
This film captured my interest for the sheer fact it was a vampire movie! Over …
Tom Dick and Harry (movie) May, 2006
Tom Dick and Harry is a filthy movie. I watched it yesterday on cable TV. This movie released on 12th of May 2006. The movie is directed by Deepak Tijori. It is his yet another stupid venture of directing a film. Well the movie casts Dino Morea playing …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
I’m not sure about most people, but my holiday season isn’t complete without watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
Of all the Vacation movies starring Chevy Chase, this is the only one that actually has the Griswold family staying home for their vacation. But, the series of unfortunate events that befall …
Clash Of the titans
In my opinion Clash of the titans is not all it is hyped up to be by all the reviews, it didn’t seem as enticing as most action/adventure movies seem to be. It is about mythology so you would expect there to be a lot of fighting, also it …
Shallow Hal
I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.
Hal is …
Drive Me Crazy
I see a lot of similarity between the actresses, Melissa Joan Hart and Alicia Silverstone. They both got famous due to teen related material and they cannot seem to go beyond that. Alicia Silverstone stuck in the “Clueless” and “Excess Baggage” phase, while Melissa Joan Hart got stuck in …
Something To Talk About (movie)
Something To Talk About is a movie about relationships. And if you love horses, you will love the equestrian action in this film! Julia Roberts is Grace, a bored and well to do housewife who works at her family’s horse ranch. She and her husband, Eddie (Dennis Quaid), have …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.3: The Turk
The series seems to be taking an interesting direction now. It turns out that one of Dyson’s (the original Skynet creator in “Terminator 2″) interns at Cyberdyne Systems, Andy, is a new lead surrounding Skynet’s creation. He’s now a cell phone salesman (a terrible one at that) but at …
The 4th Floor (1999)
When Jane, played by Juliette Lewis, inherits an apartment building with tenants, and she decides to move in to the apartment building despite the warning and concerns from her boyfriend about that situation she is getting herself into. It would seem as soon as she moved into the apartment …
17 Again
When I saw the shorts for 17 Again at the movies I was really excited to see it. It looked funny plus it had Zac Effron in it. The movie is about a guy who is unhappy with his life. In high school he chose family …
The Black Cauldron
The Black Cauldron was one of the original Disney classics. Being one of the first 25 full length animated films, it is truly an old film. It was a legend of epic proportions that pulled you into the story head first. The beginning starts out on a farm with …

The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Possibly the most highly anticipated film of 2010 so far is finally here. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is a dark re-imagining of both Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Alice Through the Looking-Glass.” The film boasts a star-studded cast as well as appealing visual effects and costume …
The Heroin Busters, movie (1977)

The film presents an exaggerated take on the seedy underbelly …
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 …
The Cobbler, Movie
The Cobbler is a very different kind of movie to the ones normally associated with its star, Adam Sandler. He’s had movies, such as Reign Over Me, that have really demonstrated his ability to tackle serious subject matter and deliver moving performances. Whilst I am a fan of some of …
DVD: The Backyard
The Backyard is a straight-to-DVD movie documentary following the sub-culture of Backyard Wrestling, a sub-category of the prfssional wrestling you see on television. The documentary follows the lives and ‘careers’ of the wrestlers and their families. It is a very emotional experience to watch and whether you are a …
Friends TV Sitcom DVD
I watched the TV show friends since my teens and until now; I did not get the jokes then but now that I understand them. I have not been bored of it.
Even though the critics criticized the sitcom, saying that it is a copy of Seinfeld. The show seemed …
Redbox Rental Service
I love Redbox. It’s a vending machine that dispenses movies, even Blu-rays, with 19 locations within 10 miles of my home. At first DVDs were $1 per movie per night. Now they are $1.20 plus tax. However I think it’s still a great deal. I usually grab a movie …

I just saw this movie in one of the television channel.Two hours passed without knowing in a fraction of second.It was a comedy film and had message about the value of the family.From the start to the end it was full of comedy cracker and provides us with …
George Lucas in Love Movie
A mixture of romance, documentary and comedy about a young George Lucas finding his inspiration to the Star Wars films. As the Star Wars fan I am, it was very interesting to see how George might have been inspired by different characters in his own life and putting them …
