Stargate movie
Archeologists on earth discover a secret “gate” to another galaxy in the pyramids of Egypt in the 1920s. This is all hidden by the authorities for many years, while at last scientists manages to open the gate and travel to a distant world.
A film that was very successful among …
9 ½ Weeks (1986)
This movie is simple about two people who get involved in sexual activity, nothing more nothing less, well; it is actually a bit more complex than just that. A wall street investor meets a beauty and seductive art gallery employee while he was doing business in New York, their …
Sixteen Candles
What is interesting about teen movies is the fact that every time period is associated to a film. Now a days is “High School Musical” period, but in the 80’s they had “Sixteen Candles” which was a smashing hit at the time.
This movie definitely marked the beginning of …
Wanted : Angelina Jolie
The movie wanted is fantastic. It’s got a very nice idea of having assassins with supernatural abilities to be able to focus and see from a different perspective. The story is fast paced and unfolds rapidly before your eyes. It will lead you to believe something but then another …
The Hunger Games (movie)
One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …
Mirrors
Mirrors looked like scary and it is actually, in certain areas of the movie story. I watched it alone actually and Kiefer Sutherland played the lead. This movie is actually a remake of a Korean movie actually, having the title Mirrors too.
What is the story about actually..? …
Goldfinger Blu-ray
MGM, the company in charge of distribution for all the James Bond films, has been steadily releasing the back catalog of the super spy’s escapades in the glorious high definition Blu-ray format.
Goldfinger, originally released in 1964, is given the HD treatment, along with a plethora of special features …
Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca: A Science Fiction Movie
My husband is a science fiction fan. I don’t particularly go for the science fiction genre necessarily but there are movies in it that I like (Water World for example). We were at home watching television not so long ago when he saw that this movie, Gattaca, was …
Movie Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond films I’ve seen, Casino Royale is by far the worst.
First, Daniel Craig can’t fill even George Lazenby’s shoes when it comes to the role. He’s not handsome. He’s not charming and he’s not James Bond.
The movie itself was even more of a problem. …
Evolution movie
“Evolution” was a comedy film which was released in the year 2001. I can remember thinking when I saw it advertising to be released in theatres that it was the first in a long time that I had seen the X-FIles actor David Duchovny in a movie. I can …
New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.)
I would say watch this movie, New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.) if you want a dosage of humility, some form of morality watch. This movie is something that I truly praise and it has such compassion, feelings and heart. To make this kind …
The Sixth Sense
Oh, I loved this movie when it came out. I am also very easily scared though and the twist at the end of it had me freaked out. I love the subtle nuances in this movie, they make them seem real. I don’t know why writers have to use …
Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …
My Brother Nikhil (movie)
My Brother Nikhil is a great film. I loved this film. I watched it in theatre. The plot of the film is based on a state level swimming champion named Nikhil who gets infected with HIV positive virus. The movie is directed by a newcomer named Onir. He has …
John C. Reilly
I have just rented “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” but have not watched it yet. But if the movie is anywhere near as funny as this guy is when he’s in a comedic role, then I am sure that I will be guffawing a lot throughout. …
Scream 2
I give most of my reviews on DVD movies, due to the fact that I love watching television and movies.
When I first watched this movie, I was interested and intrigued from the start of it until the end. To me, the movie was very suspenseful and dramatic. Everytime there …
Themroc movie
A very unusual french film almost completely without dialogue. This is all about how people act instead of what they say, and in that sense I have to say it is really impressive. The story is that of the crazy man Themroc, who acts like some madman with compassion …
Eight Legged Freaks
My wife and I were in the mood for a good movie the other day but didn’t want to watch a new release just yet (we were both tired out). So, I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks instead.
When I started watching this movie, I thought it …
Shrek Forever After (2010)
This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …
300 -The movie
The movie is based on Frank’s miller book 300, and they pretty much covered that alright. Now i know what your thinking that the movie is historically inaccurate, well it is but not alot, and i mean which movie about history isn’t and especially one dating to ancient …
Lock, Stock and Two Barrels
What would you do if you were a film director and wanted to find a good actor to interpret a street vendor? You choose an ex-black market salesman and ask him to act in a movie. If this is not the answer you would have said, at least this …
Mr & Mrs Smith DVD
Brad Pitt and Anjolina Jolie no doubt make an attractive couple. With that said let’s get to the much anticipated movie that has just been released on DVD.
This movie was highly marketed. With two of the biggest hollywood stars, this movie was sure to be a hit.
The movie …
An Officer and a Gentleman movie
Richard Gere in his best role as the rebellious Mayo. He goes through one of the toughest military educations and meets the love of his life in the meantime. The story combines heartbreaking romantic sequences with the almost sadistic way the soldiers are treated by their superior officers, and …
Click (movie)
Devilishly funny and a new classic is the movie click. It has Adam Sandler in it and he is an awesome comedian. Click is about how this guy wants one remote to control his life and make it easier on him so he goes to a bed, bath, and …

Mad Money movie
We went out this evening and caught the movie Mad Money. What an adoprable farse. This movie was cute beyond words. It centers around these three women who work at a federal reserve bank that destroys worn out currency.

Two Weeks Notice Movie
Two Weeks Notice is a light and well-made romantic comedy. Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock), a talented attorney, gets fed up with her rich, handsome, and helpless boss George Wade (Hugh Grant).

George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) Film
George A. Romero is known to zombie fans as the “Godfather of All Zombies,” according to Wikipedia. His rise to fame began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead,” a dystopian zombie film that garnered acclaim and criticism for its grotesque scenes and nearly nihilistic ending. Though I’ve …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I am not really a fan of “chick-flicks”, but, this movie is entertaining and likable. A teenager finds out that she is the heir to the throne of a non so known country. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to embrace her new found kingdom. …
The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …
Great Expectations movie
When I saw the movie “Great Expectations” on the cable guide a couple years ago, I was more expecting a film based on the Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations” and not a loosely based modern day spinoff from it. In fact, since I had not seen it from the …
The Wedding Planner movie
This movie depicts many woman’s ideal job. It would be fun, in my opinion, to plan the perfect wedding, nailing down every detail, including the perfect best man’s speech.
In this movie, JLo’s character is the best wedding planner at one of the top wedding planning companies. She is thought …

Soon Jack finds himself involved in the problems of a world populated by leprechaun and fairies. The two races …
Dhoom-2
I think the Indians films will be giving hollywood a run for money in few years. Dhoom-2 is a very good film, except for the few minor cliches the film is a treat to watch. Hrithik Roahan rocks even in the negative role. The film is worth watching only …
Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …
Four Christmases movie
I was only able to watch Four Christmases on HBO and I have enjoyed watching it so much that it is now one of my favorite Christmas movies.
The movie stars Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as Kate and Brad, a couple who seemed to have everything going for them. …
Movie - “House”
Sure, the plot seems a bit “cookie-cutter” at first; but don’t let that fool you. “House” is a deeply disturbing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two young couples are stranded in rural Alabama. They find shelter at a nearby bed and breakfast; but what …
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, directed by Danny Leiner is rated R by the Motion Picture Assocation of America for strong language, sexual content, drug use and some crude humor. The original release date for this movie was July 30, 2004 for United States audiences. This movie …
Twilight (2008) movie
This much anticipated movie based on Stephenie Mayer’s novel “Twilight” was a huge disappointment to me since I have read the book. I fell in love with the book when I first read it and couldn’t wait for the movie to come out when the book was said to …
The Whole Nine Yards
“The Whole Nine Yards” is all out the acting abilities of Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette. It is truly unbelievable that Perry was very scared to interpret Nicholas Oseransky in the this movie due to the fact that he was very intimidated by Willis and didn’t know …
The Cowboys movie
This was a different spin for a western. It’s time to take the cattle to market, but cattleman Wil Anderson doesn’t have any drovers. They’ve all caught gold fever. Having no choice, Anderson does something extraordinary. He hires a group of boys to help him get …
The Duchess movie
I just finished watching this movie at home and I should say that I like the performance of Keira Knightley who does the led role of Georgina Spencer Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire. I think Keira did a marvellous job because she looks very elegant and beautiful in …
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 …
The Hours (2002) starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore
I think “The Hours” has most of the ingredients I deem necessary for a good movie. It is one of my favorite movies made in recent years. There is strong character development among the three main characters: Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman), Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), and Clarissa Vaughan (Meryl …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.3: The Turk
The series seems to be taking an interesting direction now. It turns out that one of Dyson’s (the original Skynet creator in “Terminator 2″) interns at Cyberdyne Systems, Andy, is a new lead surrounding Skynet’s creation. He’s now a cell phone salesman (a terrible one at that) but at …

Cars-animated movie
Disney can still make good movies, if they put their mind to it. I didn’t expect much went I to see “Cars”; I thought I would be treated to good animation (with the today’s technology, there is no excuse for bad one), some cute characters and some ugly ones, …
