Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I just finished watching this movie few days ago with my family. I have watched the first movie “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” before but I am not impressed with it at all. There are just too many missing plots and the action scenes are pretty normal, …

Murder on the Orient Express movie
In my opinion the by far best adaptation of a detective story by Agatha Christie, in which Albert Finney appears as the genius detective Hercule Poirot. The cast of the film is simply amazing and include legends like Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York, Lauren Bacall, Martin …
The Descent movie
Neil Marshall may have amassed a cult following with his previous horror effort “Dog Soldiers”, but with The Descent, he really hits his stride as a horror maestro in the makings.

Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
Stomp The Yard Movie
My brother recommended that I watch this movie since I loved dancing, and upon watching it I was first bored as the steps were quite robotic and it was so “formal”, the setting was in a university and it was quite different like cheerdancing is different to cheerleading, it …
A Series of Unfortunate Events the Movie
I have read the entire series of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and have a strange love for them. They are filled with misfortune and woe, but at the same time a mystery, suspense, and little joys and happiness that make it absolutely fantastic. The movie was—¦well—¦a disaster. …
Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …
High School Musical
When I first heard of Disney’s High School Musical franchise, my first thought was “Not another cheesy teen flick!”, and I was sure I wouldn’t like it.

Dead Ringers movie

I am Legend
…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
But then again, it’s not all his fault that this remake …
Hairspray movie
Hairspray is a warm fuzzy type of movie. The musical style gives it a lot of fun complete with dancing. On top of that there is a great story and a very happy ending. It is a movie that has it all. John Travolta plays the heavyset mom, which …
I,Robot-Will Smith
We all know Will Smith from the comedic roles that he usually plays. I had never really seen him in too many serious roles. I am already a huge fan of sci-fi fantasies and this one was right up my alley. I loved the special effects and the plot …
Ninjas Vs. Vampires, movie (2011)
Endlight Entertainment’s Ninjas Vs. Vampires is not a movie that is meant to be watched alone. Don’t take that statement as this is the scariest movie ever made, although it does have a few jumps and some decent blood-spilling. This is a movie where you have some …

Movie The Descent
Normally, if a horror movie is made in Britain, I find myself bored very quickly. But, I have to admit the film The Descent was actually pretty decent.

Joker of the Dark Knight
For superhero lover, Joker isn’t a newbie. He’s arrogant, scary yet frightening. And he’s brilliant though. There are several actor who had played this role in the movie. But comparing all of those actors, the best one for me is the last Joker in Batman’s movie, The Dark Knight, …
Lord of War Movie Staring Nicholas Cage

Ong Bak
It’s a martial-art action movie. Fantastic thai martial-art show, and just an average action film.
Honestly, everything is common. Standard story, nothing special on the effects, just an acceptable filming quality and not much of an acting. Even one of my friend made a joke after watching this movie. He …
Middle Men (movie)
While I don’t remember seeing the movie “Middle Men” advertise on television, after reading someone’s post about it on a blog about movies I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t think that the movie was too bad at all in fact, and I thought it became …
Daybreak movie
A very inventive film from Marcel Carné, who created some amazing films back in the 1930s known as part of the poetic realism. The narrative is very peculiar, as the end of the whole film is the first thing that is shown, and then the rest of the story …

Contraband (2012 Movie)
With so many movie trailers exploiting all their best parts, it’s rare that a movie is better than I expected from the trailer; this is the case with Contraband. I expected a fast-paced, “Gone in 60 Seconds”-style movie, and while it delivers that, it delivers a lot more.
There are …
Two Came Back (1997 Film)
The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …
