After watching The Matrix Trilogy multiple times, I found myself looking forward to future projects from the filmmaking team Lana Wachowski who was formerly Laurence “Larry” Wachowski; and her brother Andy Wachowski. Therefore, I guess like many other people I automatically assumed that it was going to be very …

My sister has wanted to watch the Spiderwick Chronicles now for a long time. So I bought it for her on her last birthday. She was extremely excited when she got it and she watched it that night. I think she must have watched it for about 5 …

Of course, I am neither a fan of films of the romance comedy genre, nor the popular romance actress Meg Ryan, but one day when I was very bored and nothing else was being aired on cable television, I decided to watch the movie “The Deal”. I had never …

A surprising and good film, the Watchmen was an adequately well done action film. A bit too cerebral at times, but very well directed. Based on the famous comic (graphic novel) by Alan Moore. The movie did a good job of transferring most of the depth …

If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” is set in 1930’s …

The movie catches the common viewer’s attention rather quickly. I’m someone who has a hard time getting into movies which don’t take off quickly.. and this movie is a classic example of the complete opposite.
PLOT
The movie more-or-less has 2 plots, these include entirely seperate events, but eventually unfold and …

Do you like horror? Do you like a mystery? Do you like older movies? If you like all of these qualities, or even if you just like one of these things, Basket Case is the movie for you. Basket Case is about two brothers who stick together through thick …

“The Expendables” (2010, rated ‘R’) starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li is a terrific action movie perfect for those of us old enough to remember when the original “Rambo,” “Die Hard” and “Terminator” films were in theatres! “The Expendables” is like ‘old home week’ with lots of …

I became interested seeing In Bruges after I found out about the cast and the great script. But nothing would have foretold me how amazing this movie will turn out. First of all, it stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes and it is about two hitmen (Farrell …

This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …

This movie story has an R rating, and it stars Nicole Kidman, Robert Downey Jr and some other actors/actresses that I do not really know much about. This story is about Diane Arbus, Nicole Kidman, who is so called a woman of privilege, and loves playing with her …

Love and Death is a very silly 1972 movie written and directed by the fantastic Woody Allen and I just re-watched it yet again. It cheered me up for at least three days after watching it, especially as the scene —˜No, you must be Don Fransisco’s sister’ kept …

The Forbidden Kingdom : I watched this movie last week. It starts Jackie Chain, and Jet Lee as leads. Lee is in double role. The story is a fantasy, which takes us to an imaginary land o, with entertains us with Kung Fu stunts, and some nice …

I ended up picking up the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for my daughter. When I did, I figured I would have to suffer through the movie with her and then would put her to bed and find something better to watch later.
It turns out it was …

Based on the novel by Jane Austen. I have not read the book, so I don’t know how it compares to the book, but it is a wonderful movie filled with twists and turns, heartbreak, and of course, like all her novels, a happy ending. I plan on picking …

I just finished watching this movie at home and I wasn’t quite happy with the flow of the story or plot. Although the lead character Johnny Depp did a fantastic job as the barber who turned out to be a serial killer in Fleet street. The story …

Pixar does it again. Besides Cars, I have LOVED every Pixar movie, Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monster’s Inc., Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Wall e,; and Finding Nemo was no exception. In my opinion, they can to no wrong. This “kids” movie is one the best movies …

I watched this movie merely because I wanted to hear Samuel Jackson yell. Dave Chappelle was right on the money when he made fun of the way this actor yells at the the other characters in films. Sam was his usual great self …

I typically do not like comic book films. But I will admit that this little movie starring Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider won me over with little effort. What I liked in particular was the way his transformation into the Ghost Rider was filmed. …

I was at a friend’s house when I first heard about this movie. He said to me “It’s called Grandma’s Boy”. I laughed, thinking it was about a little boy who was spoiled by his grandma and wanted to stay at her house all the time. This was not …

There is a good reason why this movie has turned into success- no doubt about it, it is one funny movie. A word of caution must be brought though- it is the classical example to the kind of movies that you are not supposed to watch by yourself. The …

I hesitated to watch the film “Bee Movie” since I thought that it would be just a silly little children’s animated film. However, after seeing it going on over and over on cable television I decided to just watch it and evn though it was not a masterpiece, I …

When I ordered the movie Flawless from Netflix, I expected it to be a great film about a jewel robbery in the 1960s. As it turns out, I couldn’t even get half way through it.
It’s possible the movie ended up being exciting at some point. It had a couple …

Child’s Play 2 is the second in the series of Child’s Play movies featuring the demonic killer doll “Chucky”. I remember watching it a little after I had watched the first “Child’s Play” movie and being as impressed as I was by the prequel. At the time I hid …

I understand this is just a remake of a movie that was originally produced in 1963 that starred Peter Sellers as the idiotic but kind hearted Inspector Clouseau.

I grew up with the Original Annie. I loved the movie and the “Tomorrow ” song still plays in my head from time to time. So when I saw the 1999 version on television, I decided to watch it. I had never seen it before and thought …

I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.

Despite over fifty years passing since her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of cinema’s most renown blonde bombshells. Her sex symbol status was no mystery to me. She had the look that would stop traffic. With Seven Year Itch, she gave film one of its most …

Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art.

I am reviewing the 2010 movie, A Beginners Guide to Endings, starring well known actors Scott Caan and Paulo Costanza. The movie is a comedy/drama and shows how people react in tight spots. Everything starts with an old man commiting suicide. He is ashamed of what he has done …
