The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …

It is amazing how many times one movie can be remade. Pride and Prejudice happens to be one of those movies. In essence the movie is about different classes of people, pride of Elizabeth Bennett, and Mr. Darcy, also the prejudice between the classes of people and between …

This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.
It’s shocking that this was …

We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …

If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …

I went in to Iron Man 2 with pretty low expectations. Perhaps it was the fact that the studios have had a very hard time matching the successes of the first comic book movies, and I was simply carrying my disappointment at —˜Spiderman 2’ and —˜X-Men 2’ into …

Judd Apatow promised the world with Funny People and delivered an atlas. Not even a good atlas but a boring one without any pictures. If you saw the previews and advance publicity for this movie and were expecting a comedy, or even a few laughs, like myself you will …

Terminator 4 had lot of loud noises, cool sound effects and no redeeming quality whatsoever. This movie was one of the worst of 2009. Terminator Salvation, aka Terminator 4 was even more predicable that the third in the series. I am a big fan of Christian Bale, …

Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …

A screenwriter’s dream, this movie is often used as a model for budding screenwriters, to show them how a story should be structured. It is tightly structured in its three acts, and well played out.

If anyone is familiar with the “Ramona Quimby” novels by Beverly Cleary and feared that the film relating to the novels might not do the book justice, then you have nothing to worry about. Yes, this 2010 film called “Ramona and Beezus” is based from the books, but no …

I love this movie! Not only does it feature my favorite gorgeous actresses Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, but the story is really unique and cute and every girl can just relate to this one! However I think guys wouldn’t really enjoy watching this as it’s a total 100% …

After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.

The movie revolves around the very peculiar …

I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …

I am a big fan of horror movies, but not gore. Most movies with tons of gore seem to use it as a substitute for plot or character development. When I find a movie that is genuinely creepy without resorting to gore or cheap scares, I take notice.
Dorothy …

This movie was, if you’ll pardon the use of the word, incredible. And believe it or not, it was not because of the animation. It was the story that made this film so likable. So good, in fact, that I almost wish it were a live action superhero movie …

I viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. I found the fifth Harry Potter film to be the darkest of them. Possibly, because of Harry’s general anger in this film.
I actually liked the movie better than the book. I am normally the type …

Some of my favorite actors of all time were from the so-called “Brat Pack” of the ’80s. There is some debate on which actors are actually considered part of the Brat Pack. The undisputed ones are of course Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelsom, Andrea McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall, …

King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …

The movie is so awesome! It maybe cartoons but made with very decent graphics! I love the flow of the story; it’s about an outcast penguin in Antartica..Wait who wants to be an outcast anyways? But it happens everywhere. In this movie, they are flock of penguins and one …
