Movies Reviews
A Walk to Remember
“Tearjerker.” That’s how many people describe the movie adaptation of the popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, featuring pop princess Mandy Moore and TV cutie Shane West.
But unlike the novel version that is set in the 1950’s, the movie version was set in a more recent time of 1998, probably …

The Nativity Story
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story. I’m not sure who the actors are in this movie but they all did a good job. The Nativity Story follows the story of Mary and Joseph, and the birth of Jesus. It also follows King Herrod and his crazy quest …
Fooly Cooly
I recently sat down and watched fooly cooly. Although i did not understand most of it because of its comically vague story line. The anime has a high level of animation quality and an awesome soundtrack that fits perfectly to the action of the series. Although Watching once you …
Kill Bill Volume 1
I always like Uma thurman movie, like this one, Kill Bill volume 1. She’s always good in acting especially in action movie. Kill Bill volume 1 is based from a book from an unofficial casebook by D.K Holm as author.
This movie is full of violence from the beginning till …
Chances Are movie
Chances Are is a clever; engaging movie. It originates from the same movie pool of other movies involving rebirth of the soul; in a new physique. It demonstrates clearly the fact that movies are not tales but more precisely that they are about storytelling. In other …
Grapes on a Vine movie
Since we do not have cable at our apartment we often rely on renting a movie for some kind of entertainment. I saw this movie called Grapes on a Vine. It is about a man who hires someone to kill his wife in order to get rid of her …
Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
Daredevil
Another Marvel Comics superhero is brought to life again. Daredevil is directed and written by Mark Steven Johnson and it stars Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jon Favreau. It’s the story of Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck), a defense attorney who became blind as a …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …
Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …
Mulberry Street Movie
Mulberry Street is one of those movies that is trying to make a statement on current society, but fails. At least that’s how I viewed the movie. I also noticed that the director seemed to take some inspiration from Night Of The Living Dead. At one point I even …
Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
Diary of the Dead movie
After his belated return to his roots with Land of the Dead a few years prior, Romero turns prolific once more with Diary of the Dead; an interesting take on the genre with a hand held, documentary tactic employed perhaps most famously with Cloverfield.
It’s an interesting idea, and …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
Movie: King Arthur
Written by David Franzoni, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed Antoine Fuqua, King Arthur is the epic tale of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. Franzoni creates a different and more realistic story in comparison to the well known fairytale. He bases this legend on more …
War of the Worlds 2 Movie
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn’t exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures …
The Number 23 (2007) movie
I saw this more of an experiment to see if Jim Carrey could take on a serious role instead of his usual funny guy characters. I would have to say it was pretty failed in this movie. The concept was good but it just didn’t seem to follow through …
Mister Roberts
Henry Fonda excels in this military drama about Mister Roberts, a young officer who wants nothing more than to serve his country in the Navy, only he wants to be a part of the fight, not serving on a freight dump, which is pretty much what his current ship …

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …
Nine (2009)
I went to see Nine because my sister is a big fan of musicals and wanted to see the screen adaptation of this one. I did not expect to like the movie that much, and I must say that I found it entertaining.
The story revolves around cinema director …
50 First Dates movie
Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …
Dan in Real Life
This is a 2007 movie and I managed to catch it on DVD only. I think that this is perhaps one of the best comedy movies that I’ve watched. The plot goes this way: Dan who is acted by Steve Carell, fall in love with this sweet girl …
Movie Shutter (2008)
I watched only half of the portion on the Thai horror version of Shutter and didn’t complete it because I got a bit bored. But the 2008 version of Shutter really got me out of my mind scared. I decided to give watching it a shot although I …

Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue movie
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue from 1955 was apparently filmed from a live stage show. In fact, the master of ceremonies, Willie Bryant, calls it the Harlem Variety Review at the very beginning.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Overview - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is one brilliant film yet also a bit difficult to follow at times. I will say that the concept of this film is just great - although it basically is a romance when it comes down to it, it’s unlike any …
Transformers (2007) movie
First I saw the trailer of the movie, and instantly I was impressed and knew its going to be a total entertainer with lots of action and CG. As soon as the movie started I was hooked to it.
There is a lot of stuff that worked for me and …

San Andreas - Movie (2015)
I watched San Andreas in IMAX 3D. I’m glad I made that decision because I was able to fully appreciate the visuals. The movie is a natural disaster movie and seeing it in IMAX 3D made it incredibly real. This movie isn’t only about earthquakes as many people might feel …
Flushed Away
I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …

Terminator Salvation
For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …
Movie Plague Town (NR, 2008)
I really tried to like this movie. Usually when a film is made in a foreign country like Ireland, the acting is typically good. But this time, an American family decided to go trekking through Ireland in search of their ancestral roots. First of all, …
The Hunger Games movie
As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …
Because I Said So
Because I Said So is a Romantic comedy where the mother tries to find her daughter a “mate” by putting up a personal ad on the internet. While it has it’s funny moments and of course all things work out in the end it is a slow movie. It …
Isn’t she Great movie

Movie Red Eye
Red Eye is a very engaging thriller with a very gripping plot and equally gripping screen play. The movie stars Rachel Mcadams and Cillian Murphy in the main roles. Rachel McAdams does a very fine job and her performance needs special appreciation. The performance of Cillian Murphy, who plays …

Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …
The Bucket List
It is hard to make a comedy where your main premise centers around two men who are dying of cancer. Still, they tried with The Bucket List.
Not only did they try, but they kind of succeeded. Both leads, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, play characters …
The King of the Apes movie
