Quinceanera is a really complex film that has several different layers. Those who have no idea what a Quinceanera is, should understand that it is very much like a Sweet Sixteen or a Bar Mitzvah in U.S. culture. The Quinceaneara is really just the foundation for the …

Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …

The Happening (2008)
Director: M. Night Shyamalan. Featuring: Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel.
I do not remember the last time I have been so disappointed by a movie. Although the trailer had revealed the story right away, there was still some kind of sense of mystery or intrigue that made me …

I am familiar with the video game and couldn’t wait to see the movie. The story line consists of a group of space marines who are on a mission to investigate a colony mishap. “The Rock” stars as the commander in charge of the unit. I loved the special …

Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …

Even though sometimes the remake can actually be better than the original thought of the movie that was produced, but sometimes and more times than less, the original is still the best. This movie is about a boy who was always being bullied and he found a great friend …

I said I was not going to do it but I did it. I broke down and saw the movie This is It. I am certain most die -hard Michael Jackson fans have already seen this “movie” in the theater or on DVD but I was not …

This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …

I watched the very beginning of this movie yesterday. I didn’t even finish watching it because it was so boring. It was suppose to be about these haunted houses but it wasn’t really. It was just about these people that were having an affair and the woman’s husband came …

My daughter, who is four, has discovered Scooby Doo and absolutely loves the show and movies.
The other day, we bought her a copy of the 1988 film “Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School.” And, as is the case with most movies she loves, she has watched the film 2-3 …

This is actually a Thai film dubbed in English when I saw this one, I love watching horror movies even though I get scared easily, and this isn’t exactly your good old ghost but modern horror because of it’s demonic side. This is a story about a local girl …

48 Hours, directed by Walter Hill is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was December 8, 1982 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Comedy/Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars Nick Nolte as Jack Cates, Eddie Murphy as Reggie Hammond, Annette …

The Enforcer with Clint Eastwood and Tyne Daily.
Of the Dirty Harry series, I suppose that this sequel is the most tame. It deals with political correct issues and the gentler side of Inspector Harry Callahan. When the opening scene proved to be vintage …

Thank God somebody stopped this movie from coming out in theaters. Flight of the Living Dead is one of the worst zombie movies I’ve seen. I hated Zombie Honeymoon but Flight of the Living Dead makes that movie seem so much better, you’d forget that Zombie Honeymoon was considered …

Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …

Juno was a pretty good movie. It was the best movie I have ever seen, but it was interesting. If you don’t like weird and awkward story lines than this movie is probably not for you. However, I enjoy movies that are a little different and this movie is …

I thought that Valkyrie was a decent, very-well executed movie made better for me by the fact that it was based on true, historical events.
I think that the story is a very powerful one to tell, as not much is remembered of the Germans who hated Hitler as much …

Some nights ago, I watched a movie called “Crowned and Dangerous” on Lifetime Movie Network. I am not usually a big fan of most of the movies that I have seen being aired on Lifetime, but since this one looked like it had potential to be interesting and …

Tropic Thunder is a movie about the making of the worst movie ever made.
This movie is set in southeast Asia where Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), a former big budget American movie star, is filming his latest movie, a film based on a book written by a POW survivor of …

Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …

Sky of love was one of the few mobile phone love stories published on a book. It became really popular that the book sold for more than 11 million copies. I first came to know about the show in the cinemas, but did not actually managed to watched it …

Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …

Just one year after Oklahoma, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae reunited in Carousel, which is another classic movie musical. The chemistry was still there, though the ending is very different, in part by the nature of the story itself.
My favorite part of the movie, though, is the ending …

Aliens is probably one of the movies that can scare me till this day. The monsters in this movie are pretty terrifying. I think that this movie may have been where they got the idea for the game Doom. Because this movie was very freaky. I think the music and …

I watched the movie “Dolores Clairbourne” for the second time recently with my brother. I watched it because it was based on the novel by the popular horror and thriller writer Stephen King who is one of my favourite authors, and even though I didn’t know what the movie …

Noting Hill - Review Notting hill is an enjoyable romantic comedy. Hugh grant is a book seller, who falls in love with Julia ROberts.
But there is a lot of cultural difference between the two. As grant says n the movie ‘You like is Beverly Hill (posh), I live in …

I really liked this superhero movie since I am a fan of Superman. I personally expected it to be epic, action-packed, filled with effects and drama … and it really is! This film is not related to the “DC animated universe” as its predecessor -Superman Brainiac Atacks, but …

This movie was pretty good. I won’t have that much to say about it. Even though it was a well-adjusted movie it wasn’t the best, and improvements could be made to it. This isn’t so much about the movie belonging to a specific genre than it is about music. …

Inglorious Basterds is the latest offering by Quentin Tarantino. The movie centers around a group of geurilla warfare style members of the Allied forces during WWII called “the basterds” by the German army.

A wealthy, ruthless TV executive is the focus of this modern day remake of the classic tale of the story of Scrooge. As the story goes, this person is cold hearted and career driven to the point that no one likes to be around him yet alone work with …

Penguins..,such lovely and adorable creatures aren’t they? So lovely that the producers at Hollywood made an animated film about them , Emperor Penguins to be exact,who find their true love/soul mate by singing one to another.Aaa yes,but the story isn’t about the ones that sing,it is about one that …

I am reviewing the movie, The Messengers. Okay, so at the beginning there is this family being terrorized. There is a little boy, a girl, and a mother. Each one gets killed. Flash ahead years. A new family is moving into the same house where these murders took place. …

A friend brought over a copy of this movie. I immediately thought of the City of God, although that film takes place in Brazil. Anyway, this film features two young Haitian men who have been called to serve in an army called “Chimeres”. These are basically …

I don’t usually like war movies, but sometimes I watch them mostly because my mother likes them. That was how I watched the movie Defiance. At first, I thought it was going to be very boring too like many of the other war films I’ve seen with the graphic …

I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …

When I saw the previews for Final Destination 3, I remember thinking the producers were overkilling on an otherwise great franchise. When I watched the movie on DVD, I found I was right.
The plot of the movie seemed a bit forced and was confusing from the start. Beginning with …

An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …

I watched Blades of Glory the other night, and I am a little on the edge about what to think about it. This movie is about two proffessional ice skaters who cannot get along, because of the level of competition. When that competition gets in the way …

I was very surprised by my reaction to Affair in Monte Carlo, which I found to be a very compelling movie. In spite of the soap opera type of theme, I was hooked for the greater portion of the movie. There were, however, a few slow moments, …

I love supernatural horror movies, but for some reason I can’t seem to get enough of them. The slasher movies and those horror movies that have a lot more gore in them seem to be what’s popular now. Those few with a religious or supernatural theme that I love so …
