Movie Hitch
“Hitch” represents Will Smith’s attempt at romantic fiction and, may I add, not a bad attempt at all! This movie meant a lot for the actors, Eva Mendez and Kevin James because afterwards they received more challenging roles.
In this movie, we see how Smith stars as Alex ‘Hitch’ Hitchens …
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 …
Storm over Asia movie
In this epic montage film by Pudovkin, the story of mongolian warlord Djenghis Khan is told, or rather, the last days of Djengis Khan. It’s a very complex and sometimes confusing story, but Pudovkin really found and perfected his visual with this work of art. The style these montage …
“The Toolbox Murders” (1978 Film)
The Toolbox Murders is a well known “slasher” film released in 1978. I had heard good about the name before and, being a huge horror film enthusiast, I figured it was well worth giving a view. After seeing the film, I feel that it was a good film that …
Vampires Suck (Movie)
I’m so sick of Twilight and every other vampire detective-lost boy-romantic in a virtual quest to woo the girl and get his soul back that I could hurl. So naturally, when I heard about ‘Vampires Suck’, a Twilight spoof, I had to go see it. Initially I had somewhat …
The Glass Bottom Boat
There’s a lot of memorable aspects to The Glass Bottom Boat, most notable of which is its star, Doris Day. Some of the time, she’s a mermaid for her father, who gives a tour of Catalina Island waters with his glass bottom boat, hence the name. Day …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003 movie)
In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …
Shakespeare in Love
I watched Shakespeare in Love on a whim, after seeing the trailer I thought it was a very well convincing trailer and that I should give it a watch. Well it exceeded all my expectations; I thought it would either be campy and cheesy, or dry and emotionally heavy. …
Shooter movie
I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …
Juno (R, 2007) movie
Wow, I really really loved this movie. I knew that any movie starring Ellen Page would be a really good film. The first movie that I saw her in was Hard Candy, a really brutal film about a child molester who meets up with this …
War (2007)
War, directed by Philip G. Atwell is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for sequences of strong bloody violence, sexuality/nudity and language. The original release date was August 24, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Thriller and stars Jet Li …
Captivity Movie
Captivity is an odd movie that I picked up in the video store because of the After Dark advertising on the front of the box. I assumed that the movie was part of the Horror Fest series, but it was actually an independent movie released by the same company. …
Inception (2010 film)
In the 2010s a new director is threatening to steal the whole Hollywood show for himself-this director is quickly getting close to the very top of my list and his name is Cristopher Nolan-a film-maker whose every new film is better than the last one. His last one is …
Universal Soldier (1992)
Universal Soldier, directed by roland Emmerich is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Luc Deveraux aka GR44 and Dolph Lundgren as Andrew Scott aka GR13.
Military personnel and elite killing machines per se are Luc and Andrew, unfortunately, they were both …
Far and Away movie
Though I tend to love a Ron Howard movie because it’s most always well crafted and told with respect as well as flair, I hadn’t yet watched Far and Away until a friend sent it to me a while ago. I actually watched it in pieces; couldn’t quite …
Garden State movie
Garden State is a wonderful movie that is not only well acted but beautifully done. My entire family loves this movie. Garden State is about a young man who comes home for his mother’s funeral. Andrew (played by Zach Braff) is a withdrawn, antisocial, pill popping guy who can’t …
Movie: Field of Dreams
Synopsis: Kevin Costner plays an Iowa farmer who is on the verge of losing his property but decides to listen to a mysterious voice and chops down his corn to build a baseball field instead.
What I liked about this movie: I don’t usually say this about movies, but I …
Trouble with Angels movie
I am reviewing the movie, the Trouble with Angels. This movie is about two girls. They go to a school run by nuns. One is innocent and the other is trouble. The two hook up as best friends and the result is trouble. They definitely keep the sisters on …
The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …
Terry Tate Office Line Backer
I was watching youtube at one time because I got curious about the fact some people mentioned the name Terry Tate and it sounded laughter to me. So purposely looked for him over youtube and I got their point. Terry Tate is another fictional character (played by Mighty …
Spirited Away animation
“Spirited Away” presents remarkable detail in the way of animation. The creator of the animation is Hiyao Miyazaki. The storyline itself is highly imaginative. Suffice it to say: much goes into proper animation of a movie. During the process sometimes there is a tendency …
A Real American Hero movie
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from A Real American Hero, a 1978 TV movie about famed sheriff, Buford Pusser. Now this movie was done after at least two of the theatrical Walking Tall films with Joe Don Baker had been released to good success.
I’ve seen those …
Perfect Strangers
The best way to describe “Perfect Strangers” is a disturbing and shocking thriller that will keep you glued till the end of the movie. The true assets of this movie are a great script, a great director and, very importantly, a great trio of actors Sam Neill, …
Barney CD
This cd is from the Hit TV series. In this cd the new character BJ is introduced for the first time. He is yellow all over, has purple spots, a bright green tummy and red sneakers, Barney’s new dinosaur friend. Everyone of us have some …
Blood Sport
Blood Sport is a classic fighting movie. It’s a great 80s movie with a lots of heart in it. I think Jean Claude Van Damme did a great job of acting in the movie. His fighting style and moves were very good. He has a lot of heart and energy …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …
The Prestige movie
“The Prestige” starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, and Michael Caine is one of the best movies that I’ve seen in a while. The storyline follows the careers of rival magicians while their mentor is always in the background playing some small part. The thing that I loved the most …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …
Dead Presidents-film
Dead Presidents was a 1995 film starring Larenz Tate.It is a movie revolving around the life of a young man and his time in the Vietnan War.It is also about the experiences he has in the real world after he has been released from active duty.The movie starts …
Shrek Forever After in 3D Movie
My brother gave me passes for the premiere of Shrek Forever After, the final chapter in the ogre-starring computer-animated movie franchise. We managed to see the 3D version.
One thing I can say about the movie is that it is definitely better than Shrek 3. There are more funny moments …
Imitation Of Life (movie)
Imitation Of Life is the story of two women who are brought together by circumstances and need, and ends up they are the best of friends. Lana Turner plays Lora, an ambitious and tough single mother and Juanita Moore is Annie, another single mother who is hired as Lora’s …

Death Race (Movie)
I saw this movie when it was shown in the big screen and it wasn’t that exciting as I expected it to be. When I first knew that Jason Statham was going to be here I thought it would be a very hot action movie, but it got quite …
The Prestige
The inevitable comparisons between The Prestige and The Illusionist come, but their similarities end with the fact that they are about turn-of-the-last-century stage magicians. The Illusionist was a love story. The Prestige is a story of rivalry and revenge. The Prestige is decidedly darker, stepping down into the supernatural, …
Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
Superman Returns:The Movie
Superman has always been my very favorite superhero, and this movie I think is the best rendition of him. It shows him in a light that makes him almost human, but at the same time super-human. It also shows how it all began, and then how he returned (hence …
Alvin And The Chipmunks
Alvin And The Chipmunks, the movie version is SUPER funny and SUPER awesome. I love the singing especially. Enjoyed the story super much. And come to think of it, the My Name Is Earl, Jason Lee’s performance is outshine by the lovely Chipmunks.
Let’s talk about the voice-over …
3 Ninja at High Noon Mountain Movie
I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …
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 …
Movie Matilda
As a kid, I enjoyed reading Matilda by Roald Dahl, so I also wanted to see the movie. I saw it when it was in the theaters, and I have watched it numerous times since then. The story is about a girl who isn’t being challenged to …
Veggie Tales: Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s
If there’s any question about the Veggie Tales movie “Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s” and how good it is, I want you to keep this in mind. We picked it up for my daughter through Netflix three weeks ago. She has watched it 2-3 times each day since that date …
Pennsylvania Gun
I am reviewing The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Eve’s Hot Pepper Sauce
I love pepper, sometimes I think I love pepper a little too much, as I use it in and on everything. Have you ever glanced at the ingredients on the label to see what they use to give you the sauce? Well, if you haven’t, take a look…for Eve’s …
Daniel Deronda
Daniel Deronda (BBC, 2002), based on a novel by George Eliot, is a treat for period drama fans, especially those with the idealistic side who love a Noble Hero. Daniel (Hugh Dancy) is a handsome young gentleman raised and educated by Sir Hugo Mallinger, a wealthy aristocrat. The society …
Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke (movie)
The movie Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke released few years back. The film was directed by Deepak Shivdasani. I watched this film on television. I did not like the movie much except for few of its songs. The leading roles of this film have been played Ajay Devgan, Madhuri …
