Ghost Rider (2007)
Hollywood production of the legendary comic book fiery skulled, chain wielding, soul stealing, flame wheeled bike riding, bringer of death. The movie remake of the comic once again as Hollywood always does is true injustice. The never, ever capture the real identity of the comic book character to portray …
The Dark Side of the Sun Movie
Rick (Brad Pitt) is a young man born with a very rare and serious skin condition that makes exposure to sun, or any kind of light, dangerous for him. So Rick lives in the dark, with all the windows shut tight, and does not venture out unless he wears …
Limitless, movie
What would you do, if you could access 100% of your brain? This question is taken to the next level, in this unbelievable action thriller, Limitless. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Going in to this movie, I had no idea what to expect, but after I watched …
A Monkey’s Tale Movie
Friday night was our family movie night and, as we normally do, I made sure we had an animated film lined up. This time around, however, I gave my daughter a choice between The Iron Giant (a movie I have yet to watch) and a newer film called A …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera was the best musical that I have ever watched. The music was beautiful, tantalizing, mesmerizing, and magical. The costumes were perfectly fit in for the theatre at that time, and the sets were expertly built and designed.
I loved this movie. I have watched it …
Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck)
If you guys have watched Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck) before, you will be surprised to know that it is a very good movie, but with a science-fiction genre. I really categorize this movie as fiction because I can never imagine this movie to be other than that at all. …
Movie Lakeview Terrace
I recently saw the movie Lakeview Terrace starring Samuel L. Jackson at the movies theater. The movie was about a bi racial couple that moves next store to a black police officer raising his son and daughter by himself. From the time the couple moved in …
Movie: Nine Dead
I have had the film Nine Dead loaded on my Netflix player for a few weeks now. But, I did not take the time to watch it until last night because I suspected it would be a terrible rip off of the Saw movies or some other movie I …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …
IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …
Friends with Money (R, 2006) movie
I don’t particularly like movies with Jennifer Aniston in them. But I will be the first to admit that more and more her films are growing on me. This is only because the three I’ve seen (Derailed, Friends w/ Money, and The Good Girl) provided me with …
Sleepless in Seattle
Sleepless in Seattle is a very good romantic movie and has some good performances by the leading actors played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Tom Hanks is obviously a good performer and has proved his acting abilities in many movies and in this movie too he gives a …
Isn’t she Great movie
A film about the author Jacqueline Susann and the way she went from one of the most hated to one of the most beloved. The key was how her books were marketed in different ways, and how they finally did this came to change the book industry for ever.
Of …
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 …
Dark Ride movie
Cast: Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Cathy), Patrick Renna (Bill), David Clayton Rogers (Steve), Alex Solowitz (Jim), Andrea Bogart (Jen), Jennifer Tiisdale (Liz), Dave Warden (Jonah)
This has got to be one of the most inane movies I’ve ever seen. So maddening that I was hoping the murderer would do …
How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010) Animated
I have always loved animated movies. I have heard of this movie How to Train Your Dragon and it actually was on IMAX theatres because it was 3D. I did not see it in 3D but it is alright because I am not really keen on watching it like …
Movie A walk to remember
I must admit that I truly enjoy watching great romance movies. The once I truly like I watch them endless times. “A walk to remember” is a great movie based on a true story.
The film is based in 1958 about the daughter of a minister, a part interpreted by Mandy …
Evan Almighty (2007)
Evan Almighty, directed by Tom Shadyac is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for mild rude humor and some peril. The original release date was June 22, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Fantasy and stars Steve Carell as Evan …
Unknown (movie)
Like many of the movies I’ve watched recently, one of the first places that I heard of the movie “Unknown” was on a movie blog. The plot sounded very promising, so I got the movie and watched it with two people as soon as I had the time. Everyone …
Musafir (movie), 2004
The movie Musafir released in 2004. I watched it at home on DVD. I did not like the movie much. The movie has been directed by Sanjay Gupta. The promos of the film were attractive enough to attract a lot of audiences to the cinema hall. But the movie …
Tangled Movie
I’m a fan of fairytale stories from Cinderella, Snow white, Goldilocks, Beauty and the beast and many more. I’m 22 years old and I still believe in happily ever after. When Tangled was first introduced I never hesitated and watched the film on its first day. I’ll …
The Curious Case of Benjamen Button movie
The movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was written by F.Scott Fitzgerald. This is a movie about a man who ages in reverse and throughout the movie we would see events about growing up and college times that surround the 19th and 20th century. You would be surprise …
Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story (PG13, 2004)
I am a huge fan of true crime stories. Back in 2002, I followed this particular story fairly closely, and thought that something just wasn’t quite right about Scott Peterson and his lack of emotion. This movie, which I think featured on regular television, was …
He’s Just Not That Into You Movie
I had read the book a few years back, and I honestly never thought they would ever make a movie about it since it was literally just a bunch of letters that people had written to ask questions about their relationships. So, when I heard that the movie for …
Rent movie
I was still in High School when the Broadway musical Rent became a success. I remember asking for the soundtrack for Christmas. It was one musical that I had always wanted to see but never got the opportunity to. Of course when I heard that Sony Pictures was bringing …
Columbo: Columbo Goes to College movie
Columbo: Columbo Goes to College is one of my favorite movie editions of the Columbo series. Robert Culp has a great role as a prominent community figure who has to deal with his college student son being involved in the murder of one of his college professors. …
Four Weddings and a Funeral with Hugh Grant
This movie is full of funny scenes. It starts with Hugh Grant’s character being late for a wedding he is attending. Worse yet, he is the best man, and he has forgotten the rings. The bride and groom end up getting married using junk jewelery that his friend was …
Righteous Kill
I highly recommend this movie. Robert de Nero and Al Pacino play in it together. Both are great in the movie, they grab your attention and don’t let it go. You have to pay attention to the movie to really understand what was going on. The other actors in …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
Movie : Rumour Has It
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …
Vicky, Christina, Barcelona
I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …
The Matrix
Watching The Matrix movie is really exiting and absorbing the attention adventure. Based on a original idea, it shows us one fantastic reality, in which the the ordinary people became extraordinary under the pressure of the circumstances. The main meaning is that the most important thing in our …
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Director- Scott Dickerson
Cast- Keanu Reeves(Klaatu), Jennifer Connelly(Dr.Helen Benson), John Cleese(Noble prize winner Environmentalist)
This film is a remake of a 1951 classic science fiction film of the same name. Although most of the critics here in India gave it negative reviews my opinion stands otherwise. According to me this is …
Black Rain, 1989 movie

The original release date was December 25, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Comedy/Science Fiction and stars Tim Allen …
Life is Beautiful movie
This review does not have a summary. This movie was one of the best holocaust movies I have seen in a long time. When I saw this movie, it was all in Italian, which is for the most part the only downside to it. Although, the script in …
Shoot Fighter
Shoot Fighter with Martin Kove, William Zabka, and Maryam D’Abo.
When John Claude Van Dam and Bruce Lee introduced martial arts tournament movies to the American audience, it spawned a generation of copycat films of lesser quality. Shoot Fighter is one of these. You …
Movie The good girl
I watched ‘The good girl’ because it seemed to be a good film however I ended up very disappointed! This is a truly awful film. I cannot understand how a very talented actress, Jennifer Aniston would be involved in such a lousy production!
In this film, Aniston interprets the character of …
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …
Something about Mary movie
“Something about Mary” is the most successful movie for the Farrelly brothers. They tried to recreate the same atmosphere in another movie “Me, Myself and Irene” and failed miserably. This movie is also Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller passport to success because, before this movie, they were not very …

film “Ginger Snaps Back” (2004)
I really enjoyed the film Ginger Snap and I though this movie would be similar but it was not. Basically the makers of the first movie did not expect it to be a cult favorite. It was not made with a lot of money but did very …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!
It seems that the on-screen …
Fool’s Gold movie
This movie has Matthew Mchonuaghey and Kate Hudson. They were once married in the movie and at the beginning of the movie they are getting a divorce. Matthew plays Fin and Kate plays Tess. Fin tries to find gold and runs into a lot of people that want to …

This movie wascalled 61, and the two yankee players Mickey Mantle the new favorite of the yankee fans and the new comer on the field the …
The Barbarian Invasions
The Barbarian Invasions is the thrid film from French-Canadian director Denys Arcand. It is in essence a sequel to his first feature, “The Decline Of The American Empire”. “… American Empire” was a highly literate classic from the late eighties concentrating on the lives and loves of a group …
Sahara movie
After the defeat in Tobruk in 1942, Joe Gunn leads his troops through the desert of Sahara to get away from Rommel’s army and reach his allied forces.
This film is completely lacking all form of intelligence. I doubt it’s even historically correct, because everything that happens seem so over-dramatized …
