“Couples Retreat” (2009 movie)
There is nothing left of the romantic comedy genre. It’s been on the decline for at least the past decade, with the odd exception that actually mixes the pathos and exhilaration of love lost and found with comedic coincidence and the kind of zany antics that for the most …
Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar (movie) August, 2006
The name of the movie Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar sounds funny and many of us might presume it is a comic movie but well it isn’t. It is a very stupid melodramatic movie with horrible emotional ups and downs as stated in the film. I just cannot understand …
The Queen by Stephen Frears
I was very lucky today to see a matinee of “The Queen” staring Helen Mirren. Although I knew the movie was about Queen Elizabeth II, I had no idea it was about the period following Princess Diana’s death.

The Rock (1996)

Insidious (movie)
“Insidious” is one of those movies that I’ve found myself beginning several times, but never actually settling down to watch it. Most of the times I shied away from it because of the bad reviews quite a few viewers had given it, calling it a waste of time and …

The Judge (2014 drama movie)
“The Judge” wasn’t really one of those movies whose trailer sparked much interest for me. As a matter of fact I didn’t expect that it would be very good even though it had some talented actors in it such as Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall, and Vera Farmiga. However after …

Movie “Case 39″ (2009)
I do not particularly like or have anything against Rene Zellweger. This movie was ok. I liked the plot but some of it was cheesy and too campy for my taste and I like horror and campy movies. The plot is cool in this film. …
The Man Who Predicted 9-11 movie
The movie is kind of slow in the beginning, but that is no reason not to follow through and watch the rest of it. The reasons behind the stories about the main character’s life and background did not become clear until later on in the movie. I found these …
Ghostbusters (2016 Comedy Movie)
Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …

Sideways (R, 2004) movie

Kentucky Fried Movie
I was a teenager when I first saw the Kentucky Fried Movie and I remember thinking how it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.

The Debt, movie (2011)

Cheaper By The Dozen 2 Movie

Wilderness (R, 2006) movie
If you think that this is going to be just another of those teen slasher flicks–you’re sadly mistaken. This film is ruddy, rugged, brutal, and suspenseful, all the to credit of the director, effects artists, and good actors. In reading the opening credits, I realized that …

The Answer Man - Movie on DVD
Some movies I enjoy because they are well made. They either have superior production values, such as “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series, or the plots are exciting, or the actors are engaging. Then there are some movies that I elevate to a special class: those that have something …

Like the Prince and me that’s similar to the 1950’s classic a Roman Holiday, this time it’s guy meets princess. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and two of the greatest screen couples in film history.
