Kill Bill Volume 1
I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …
“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …
Blackboard Jungle
Blackboard Jungle with Glen Ford, Sidney Poitier, Vic Morrow, and Anne Francis.
I do not understand all the hoopla for this movie as it was very mediocre. Glen Ford is a pleasant enough actor, but not right in the role of a inspirational teacher. Sidney …
Vaali Tamil movie
This was the debut film for the director S.J.Surya. This movie had excellent script and dialogues. This film really changes the entire career of actor Ajit. For the first time Ajit done dual role in this movie. He did a fabulous job in each of …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …
The Princess Diaries movie
I saw The Princess Diaries in the theater when it came out in 2001, and I have seen it a couple times since then. Anne Hathaway (the main character) is one of my favorite actresses (due, in part, to this movie). It is about a girl who …
Movie The Sixth Sense
M. Night Shyamalan is a driector of some strange movies. Yet when you see his films they are usually very good. I watched the movie starring Bruce Willis as Dr Malcom Crowe and Haley Osment as Cole Sear the little boy who see dead people.
Dr Malcom Crowe …
Get Smart Movie
My cousin’s family decided to have an early evening yesterday and we went to catch the movie, Get Smart, starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and some other great casts. Everyone in this movie seems to be having good potential to win an award, and I love all the …
Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Ace of Sales (Taiwan Movie)
Aces of Sales is a Taiwanese drama comedy directed by Cho Li.
I’ve some time to pass before my appointment so I decided to watch a movie online. I don’t have anything in mind so I just pick one randomly. I don’t really know what to say of this film, it …
50 First Dates movie
Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …
Mama Mia
I love this movie! I just watched it a few days back and I can say that this is one of my most loved movies after Titanic that is. With Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and more,it was such an enjoyable movie to watch.
It was all about …
50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals DVD Collection
I can only compare this 50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals from Mill Creek Entertainment to the company’s 100 Movie Pack Hollywood Classics, which I reviewed recently. One thing that is different is that the sleeves the DVDs come in are not as thick of material. They are …
Camp Rock by Jonas Brothers
Teenage ladies, brace yourself for if you are a big fan of Jonas Brothers, then watching Camp Rock by Jonas Brothers on DVD would be very worth it. If you have Disney channel, you might have come across this movie. It is something like a nice movie about …
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
Even though I have yet to attempt to read the books, I actually enjoy the Harry Potter movies when they come out. However, the fourth installment of the series, The Goblet of Fire, seems a bit weak compared to the first three.
I think part of it is the characters …
Superbad (2007)
The movie Superbad was before it came out, and even soon after it came out, an extremely hyped up movie; everyone was talking about it. Now almost nobody even cares about the movie.
Superbad is a comedy that is based on how high school kids want to always fit in …
Disney’s The Lion King
I fondly recall the very first time I went to the movies; I was a little kid, impressionable, and had loved every second of “The Lion King” despite my having spilled my soda on myself in the first ten minutes of the movie. The story did not speak to …
The Perfect Storm (2000)
The captain of a merchant vessel falls on hard times, he convinces his crew to venture out into dangerous waters in order to find the perfect catch to return home and sell it to make good money to support their families. Going out was the easy part, catching their …
The Time Machine movie
It is an entertaining film based on the concept of time traveling. This concept has always thrilled me and I was curious to know about it. The first half of the movie is pretty enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. I am not a die hard fan of science …
The Stepford Wives Movie
When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …
Star Trek
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the new movie Star Trek this past weekend. I have seen so many attempts to re-make other movies that have gone wrong and I was afraid they might have tried to take on too big of a challenge.
However, I have to admit, …
Bedtime Stories movie
I have long been looking forward to seeing the movie “Bedtime Stories” starring the comedic actor Adam Sandler. However, I didn’t want to see it in the theatres when it came out because at the time I thought it might have been a
children’s movie as well as I did …
Black Butler: Season One, Anime
Okay, so I just finished season one of Black Butler and I am having such an emotional turmoil. I have developed such a strong emotional attachment to the characters because of their distinct personalities, mainly Ciel and Sebastian (the master and the butler, respectively). I absolutely love this series …
The Tower of London
The Tower of London with Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Vincent Price.
When I saw the list of this all star cast, I felt compelled to make this a must see film. Especially since I have always enjoyed watching Vincent Price ply his trade. …
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, film
The latest installment in the acclaimed Marvel cinematic universe, is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, a film which on the whole falls drastically short of both its own hype and the average quality of Marvel’s efforts in the last several years.
The Plot of the film revolves around the return …
Movie: Hamburger Hill
Synopsis: A group of American soldiers spend several days fighting communist soldiers in Vietnam.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen a lot of war movies that go out of their way to show the violence but have characters that have about as much emotion as a robot …
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 …

Movie Stranger than Fiction
Had a chance to watch “Stranger than fiction”, a great movie that has both comedy and drama. The plot is extremely catchy as Will Ferrell, an IRS agent, is living a life narrated by an author played by Emma Thompson. A typical IRS agent, counting his actions in numbers, …
Goofy and Wilbur animated short
Walt Disney has presented many delightful cartoons over the decades. This animated short from 1939 is called Goofy and Wilbur and was the first time that Goofy was the main character and supporting Mickey Mouse or another Disney main character. The situation is that Goofy is going …
Krull
This film quietly snuck up on us in the early 1980’s. It’s a science fantasy film that, boiled down, is essentially the classic plot: boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy gets girl.
The boy and girl are Corwyn and Lyssa. And in the beginning they are to be married, …
The Return movie
I actually did not hear of the movie “The Return” until recently and when I heard that it was actually a thriller that had originated out of Russia, my curiosity was piqued even further. When I watched it I also could not help but think that it was actually …
Dazed and Confused movie
Over the years, I have seen a lot of these types of films, and yet, I think one of the best coming of age movies was the film “Dazed and Confused” which was released in nineteen ninety three. At first, I used to wonder what the name of the …
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
I think Final Fantasy: The Spirtis Within is half a brillaint movie. That half woiould be with regard to the look of the film. This is a pure CGI movie that broke ground with its animations. It is certainly amazing in that regard.
I think this is the most realistic …
D-x wrestling faction
D-Generation X was a professional wrestling faction bought in by the World Wrestling Federation to rival the New World Order which was running rampant on the WWF’s Rival, World Championship Wrestling.
One thing that made the original D-X so unique and popular was their lack of respect for anything …

The Book of Eli Movie
A film with Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, an apocalypse, and books. How could this movie be bad? Well, ‘The Book of Eli’ makes it look easy.
The opening scene had me expectant of a good watch. I liked the way the film looked; excellent use of light and shadow, earthy …
Girl, Interrupted
Girl, Interrupted is a very good attempt by the makers of the movie. The movie which is inspired by the book with the same title, deals with a teenage girl’s experiences at a rehabilitation center during her 18 month stay there. Though the movie doesn’t have a universal appeal, …
The Amazing Spiderman, 2012 Movie

Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …
Predator
I think Predator is one of the scariest movie I have ever seen. And I also think it is one of Arnold schwarzenegger’s best roles. Predator offers a really good stoyline and villian. The Predator is an alien life form with advanced weapons and technology. This thing is scary. I …
A Prairie Home Companion
I personally had a lot of hope for this movie because of the amount of publicity it got, the celebrities which were involved such as film star Lindsay Lohan and the actress Meryl Streep; and just the fact that our cable service provider even ordered the movie for its …
Australia movie
My review of the movie Australia by Nicole Kidman maybe as boring as the movie have turned out to be; well at least as for my taste; I loved Nicole Kidman and have adored her movies like the Moulin Rouge, or The Others, but this movie is a huge …
Pride
Some times I wonder if Hollywood has given up trying to come up with something original and just keeps rehashing the same plot in a different context.
The movie Pride is a perfect example of this.
Overall, Pride is an OK film. But, it’s the same film I’ve seen 20 times …
