Happy Together movie
Yet another film by the master Wong Kar-Wai, which tells the story of a homosexual couple and their stormy relationship. It ends the era of his more explosive visual style and brings him closer to what he does today. The narrative is slower, more thoughtful, but still Wong Kar-Wai’s …
John Carpenter’s “Cigarette Burns” film
“Cigarette Burns” is a short film by John Carpenter created for the Showtime series “Masters of Horror.” The movie stars Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead, Boondock Saints) as Kirby, a small theater owner with money problems, who is paid to track down a rare horror film that has …
Movie Rush Hour 3
When they came out with a 3rd Rush Hour movie, my first thought was “this will have a few laughs but will fail to live up to the first two movies.” After watching the movie this past weekend, I can now say I was wrong. This movie might actually …
The Descent movie
I find that recently I am developing a great love of Quentin Tarantino. Not for his movie, mind you. I think have enjoyed many of the movies he has made, but more recently my fondness for him has come in his great choices of movies to import and distribute …
Film Misery

Hollywood Ending, the movie (2002)
Can a suddenly blind director make a movie? This problem is the basis of the plot of Woody Allen’s film. It offers many attacks on Hollywood and its stampeded products. However, it was interesting to observe the creator who finds himself in a critical situation. How will he behave? How …
City of Joy film
Directed by Roland Joffe, City of Joy is a poignant film that touches the heart and even the very fabric of our souls. I’m not one who tends to enjoy a lot of in depth films that take place in other countries, but this tale of an American …
The Break-Up movie
Doing romantic movies when your love life is in full turmoil must be pretty tough. I believe that “The Break-Up” represent this aspect to the actress, Jennifer Aniston. On the set of this movie, she meets the actor, Vince Vaughn and for a short while they had a relationship …
She’s All That (1999)
She’s All That, directed by Robert Iscove is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content, crude humor, brief strong language and teen drinking. The original release date for this movie was January 29, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …
Movie Leon
In Leon (The Professional), the movie, is the first time that I ever saw Natalie Portman in a movie, and she was pretty young back then. Being young did not seem to faze this great actress, however, as she played the part of Mathilda beautifully. Not only does …
Movie: The Fifth Element
The Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich, is a fun and interesting action film that never fails to get my attention when it’s on T.V. While I can’t say its my favorite movie and probably not even in my top twenty for science fiction films, there …
Movie Three Can Play that game
Nearly seven years ago writer and director Mark Brown created a funny romantic comedy called “Two Can Play That Game.” While not doing huge number, the movie received a lot of acclaim as being a funny and romantic film. Rumors of a sequel have been alive for …
A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Movie 2010)
Ever remembered staring at your crush in school and not being able to tell him how you feel? Do you remember those days when you would call his phone just to hear his voice and hung up a minute later without even saying a word? Ever remember those crazy …

Movie The Devils
The Devils is a film from long ago that involves the murder of a Catholic priest. This priest, Father Grandier, is supposedly one of the witches and he subsequently pout through all the horrible things that witches were at that point in time. This was a time of hysteria …
Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
V for Vendetta movie
When I first heard about “V for Vendetta” I was sceptical of whether or not the Wachowski brothers would be able to pull out a quality movie after their not so astounding Matrix Revolutions. As the movie release date approached I watched more and more movie trailers, as …
Disturbia (movie)
Disturbia is a movie about a teenage boy who is a rebel filled with anger. Kale, the main character, is still grieving over the death of his father and pretty much anything to do with the subject gets Kale fired up. Because of an altercation at school, Kale is …
Coyote Ugly
What is this movie about? I can answer that in two words: bar dancing. There is nothing else in it, really. No story to speak of, just a few events to get the main character to work at the bar - and then it is all about girls dancing …
Duplicity
I normally loathe watching or reading romantic books and movies; thus I had absolutely no intention to watch the romance comedy film Duplicity until one of my friends somehow managed to trick me into watching it with her. Unlike her promises that the movie would get better, I found …
Prince of Persia (2010)
When I told people I would be going to see Prince of Persia in theaters, they always accused me of going to see it just to watch a muscular bodied, cute faced Jake Gyllenhaal on a huge screen. I would defend myself by saying that I had actually played …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …
The Crooked Man
I am reviewing The Crooked Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode finds Sherlock Holmes involved with a case at Watson’s request. It involved the military, a group of people Holmes would …
A View to a Kill movie
In what would be Roger Moore’s last appearance as agent 007 James Bond (he was MORE than 50 years old here by the way) he’s confronted with perhaps the most colorful villain ever. He’s played by the excellent actor Christopher Walken and, obviously, is threatening to take over the …
Ella Enchanted
I love Ella Enchanted. There’s a beautiful cast for this movie and they consist of Minnie Driver, Hugh Dancy, Anne Hathaway especially and many more.
Anne plays the character of Ella and this movie is something like Enchanted. In fact, this movie was made first prior to …
Candyman
This is a 1992 movie, and for some strange reason did really well, you could call it a cult classic. The plot is weak even for a science fiction film, it leaves huge holes in the story, like when there talking about the “Candyman” they talk about him like …
Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer Movie
Are you just plain tired of the same old horror movies? Are you sick of the tiresome overkill of the once popular (for some stupid reason) ’shaky cam’ in horror movies? Are you wishing for films reminiscing of ‘Evil Dead’? Well look no further than ‘Jack …
David Copperfield, 1999
This 1999 BBC movie is an excellent adaptation of “David Copperfield,” a novel that Charles Dickens referred to as his “favorite child” amongst his other works.
Packed with unforgettable Dickensian characters, this film tells the story of David, a boy born shortly after his father’s death. His mother Clara (Emilia …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
Point Break movie (1991)
(Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey)
Point Break was an action packed movie and a half. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, a director known for pushing the limits and never pulling any punches, Point Break starts at a gallop and never slows down. This was also one of the …
Twilight the movie
I’ve seen this movie just this year when I bought this DVD. My friends advised me to watch the movie because it seemed that they were totally hooked and amazed to the story. Frankly, I am not a vampire fan and this is the first time that I watched …
The Forbidden Kingdom
“The Forbidden Kingdom”, directed by Rob Minkoff, is a rather highly predictable tale involving a Kung-Fu crazy american teenager, a ‘drunken immortal’(Jackie Chan), a monkey god(Jet Li) and a megalomaniacal military warlord. The plot revolves around the monkey god’s golden staff, which was separated from him by the cunning …

Cruel Intentions
The movie “Cruel Intentions” was very much well received because it represent a new way of making movies addressed to the young generation. It includes a great cast of young rising stars involved in a movie which has the right mix between drama and romance.
On a more personal level, …
Movie Mad Money
I can watch DVD movies back to back each time and one of the latest in my list would be Mad Money. Diane Keaton, the awesomely Queen Latifah and also Katie Holmes, wife of Tom Cruise star in this very good comedy movie.
These 3 women are awesome ladies …
DVD: Keeping Mum
If Alfred Hitchcock or Wes Craven had made the movie “Mary Poppins” the result would have been “Keeping Mum.” Maggie Smith star of dozens of movies plays Mum. She takes a job helping Gloria Goodfellow (played by Kristen Scott Thomas of “The English Patient” fame), the wife of the …
Oz the Great and Powerful, 2013 movie
I just watched Oz the Great and Powerful and I have to say that I am a little disappointed by it. I was expecting a great movie and all I got was a so and so one. Before watching it I was thinking to myself “God, I hope James …

Cop Out Feature Film
This movie made me sad to watch. How far has Bruce Willis fallen that he does this kind of movie? I get why Tracy Morgan was happy to make this film, but Bruce could do so much better. The action was nice, it was not …
Final Destination 4
Before I watched the movie Final Destination 4, I expected that it would but the first three to shame. When I saw it as one of the coming attractions in the theatre when I went to see the movie District Nine, it appeared to be crammed with great visial …
