Land of the Dead (2005) Movie
Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …
The Whisperer in Darkness Film
The movies based on the works of the great master of horror H.F. Lovecraft generally, I think, are complete tragedy, because the directors usually ignore the atmosphere that makes the stories of this author special and put a greater emphasis on the excess ketchup blood and the monsters, losing …
The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

Coyote Ugly movie
Piper Perabo made a big splash in Coyote Ugly back in 2000. The female coyote craze has really grown since then. These are women who both bar-tend and entertain the patrons. They’re gone for getting up atop the bar and singing and dancing, in groups and …
Wolverine and the Xmen
I watched “Wolverine and the Xmen episode 1& 2″ with my kids yesterday. I am an avid Xmen fan. I grew up reading the comics and watched the cartoons in the 1980’s I have also seen the movies.
I heard of this new “Wolverine and the Xmen” and decided …
Carnival Story movie
The world in the 50’s and 60’s loved stories about carnivals and circuses, and that’s why we have this film, Carnival Story, from 1954. In fact, I understand a German version was made at the same time and that the stars of both movies are seen but uncredited …

Flowers in the Attic (2013 movie)
Growing up as a teenager I loved reading books that were written by the author V. C. Andrews. I was always fascinated by the plots and the female main characters of her stories, even though she’d been dead for longer than I’d been around. While there were always new …
In The Valley Of Elah
In The Valley Of Elah is a movie starring Charlize Theron as well as Tommy Lee Jones. Susan Sarandon also played in it as well and this is a good story filled with emotion. I am quite surprised that this story never make it to the box office, …

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 Good Guy Movie
I saw The Good Guy at the recommendation of a close friend who absolutely loved it. She did preface it with the fact that she did not really know why she loved it so much but something about it really stuck with her. Also, it helped that she had …

This movie is about the telling of a woman’s story, a story that involves the misuse of power and what happens to the regular people when they do not adhere to what the powers that be tells them to do. When Angelina Jolie’s character Christine Collin’s son goes missing, …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
To start, I feel that no amount of words could ever do this movie the justice it deserves…..but nevertheless, I’ll try my best.
In a basic summation, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the film adaptation of the classic, semi-autobiographical tale written by the late, great Hunter S. Thompson. …

Dirty Dancing Limited Keepsake Edition DVD set
There’s been a lot of press surrounding the Dirty Dancing Limited Keepsake Edition DVD set. Some people say that Lionsgate is milking the cult phenomenon to death, and maybe they are, but Dirty Dancing is a wonderful feel good movie that is iconic. It’s all about growing up …

I liked watching Practical Magic; it had an interestingly unconventional storyline which gets you hooked into it. Its about two sister’s who has been raised by their aunt’s since their parents death, but find out they are not really living in quite a normal household. Their aunts feeds them …
Fight Club: Movie
Fight Club is a brilliant movie; I found its portrayal of a psychologically disturbed human being very interesting.
The storyline in itself is quite good, but you’re never quite sure of where it is going until a major twist is revealed towards the end. But even with this lack of …

In The Land Of Women

He is a guy …

What have I done to deserve this? movie
One of spanish original filmmaker Pedro Almodovar’s early films from the 1980s tells the story about a family mother and her bizarre family. Somewhere between drama and comedy as usual with Almodovar, he pictures his characters with a lot of sympathy and sense of humor at once, and his …

40 days and 40 nights
This movie was entertaining but that is about it. If you are bored one night and enjoy movies like this then I would recommend it. This movie isn’t for everyone though. Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon play in it. Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan who decides to vow to …
The Movie Dinner for Schmucks
When I saw the previews for “Dinner For Shmucks” I was really excited. The previews had me laughing so hard so I thought that because the previews were funny then the movie must be funny. However, after paying to see this movie I have to say that …
Air Force One the Movie
This is one of my all-time favorite movies which I watch every time I get the chance. AXN featured it this afternoon and even though I know this movie by heart, I could not resist watching it again. This is one of Harrison Ford’s unforgettable movies like Indiana Jones …

Pump up the volume movie
About a shy young school boy who has his very own radio programme. He quickly becomes immensely popular among the young listeners, even though their parents consider his language unsuitable for their children and starts protesting against it.
A very, very typical teenage movie from the early 1990s with a …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …

Kids (NR, 1995) movie
There is a reason why this DVD is not rated. It is because the sex and adult situations in this film are so intense that it had to be rated that way. I know you’re wondering what kind of filth would be involved in a movie titled …
Notes on a Scandal (2006)
This was an excellent drama starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, in roles that are quite different than anything else I have seen either of them in.
The two actresses play teachers at a British school. Barbara (Dench) is a closet lesbian, and Sheba (Blanchett) is having an affair with …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Yep, it’s another teen movie. But it’s not just another one of those typical ones. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is perhaps one of those movies that actually tackle something more than just the cliché jock/nerd romance. The story follows a recently heartbroken high school student, Nick O’ Leary. …
North by Northwest movie
Perhaps the most famous and beloved of all Hitchcock’s films, made in a time when his artistic vision and innovative genius was at its absolute peak. The theme is very similar to all of his films: a man is mistaken for someone else and has to run away from …
Mr.Deeds
Mr.Deeds is a mediocre comedy movie. This Adam Sandler and Winona Ryder starred movie misses something which makes it not appealing much to the viewer. Though the movie has a decent plot and impressive star cast, it some how doesn’t manage to attract the viewer. It is the story …

Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I have read this book, faster than any other books I have read because this is one book that I really enjoy; it is very light in story, a bit shallow if you are a very deep person, and just is the kind of book that you read for …
Apollo 13
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.
There are a lot of movies about historical disasters. But, Apollo 13 is one of those few films that gives …
