Seven Pounds movie
I recently rented the movie “Seven Pounds,” starring Will Smith. I liked this movie very much, even though it was extremely disjointed and confusing and I was nearly twitching from the urge to go online to find a description of the plot. Don’t do that! It’s better if you …

Sunshine Movie
I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …
Traffickers, Movie
Korean thrillers rarely pull their punches, which can often make them deeply affecting - especially when they centre around some really dark subjects. Unlike popular Chinese and Japanese cinema exports there is typically much more favour for realism in Korean films, that only makes them more shocking.
Traffickers is concerned …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
Zoolander movie
Zoolander is a funny yet a nice movie to learn a lesson.I like the film very much,its really funny and every scene is full humorous actions and speech.Ben stiller was great in playing Derek Zoolander,he really did make the character alive and believable.He’s acting as the silly and clumsy …
Vacancy, Nimród Antal Movie
While heading the design credit for ‘Vacancy’, director Nimród Antal debut in the United States, it will remind Thriller classic Alfred Hitchkock in 1960, ‘Psycho’.

Oklahoma musical
Oklahoma is a sprawling musical that has the most beautiful scenery. The opening with Curly riding along through the fields and singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning is a smiler. They don’t make movies like this anymore, and that’s a tragedy.
Gordon MacRae is brilliant as Curly, the …

Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …
Killjoy
When I let my daughter pick out the movie Killjoy for me and my wife (she’s four and picks movies based on the cover) I was a bit concerned it would be too scary for my pregnant spouse.

Movie: Stan Helsing

Plan 9 From Outer Space
This movie is considered one of the worst of all time. Maybe THE worst of all time. It’s directed by the worst director of all time, Ed Wood. So many people hated this movie when it came out in the 1950s. All I have to say is this: I …
Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel.

Black Water DVD
I rented this DVD to watch over a weekend. This film really ruined my weekend. A really boring film, with hardly any scenes. It should have been labeled as drama or documentary rather than horror/thriller.

Movie The Ugly Truth

“Notting Hill” is one of my favourite all time romantic comedies. I think I like it so much because it presents a very straight forward story with a nice comic touch in it. Even though this movie is all about Julia Roberts and Hugh Grants acting abilities, it also …

Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …
African Cats 2011 Disneynature Movie
Disneynature. When I first heard about the addition to the Disney name, I was unsure of it. Yet after seeing African Cats which was released in 2011, I fell in love with the studio. I couldn’t wait to see the other documentaries that were made under the studio’s name. …
