27 Dresses
The other day, I gave in to my wife and watched the romantic comedy 27 Dresses with her.
While I’ll be quick to admit I actually enjoyed the movie; I was left a bit disappointed by it.
My biggest complaint about the film, which is about a woman who has attended …
My Week with Marilyn Monroe (movie)
I’ve been into quite a lot of action films especially lately so it’s easy to see how a movie like this would have escaped my attention at first. I’m not even going to call myself a gigantic Marilyn Monroe fan but the little I’ve heard of her and just …
Definitely, Maybe
Definitely, Maybe is a movie that I think is fairly good. Not that fantastic, but doing pretty alright. Ryan Reynolds star in this movie, together with the very talented Abigail Breslin. Abigail plays Maya, a daughter that is very inquisitive and it’s fun to watch her questioning …

I remember I couple months ago, one of my friends and I spontaneously decided to go see a movie while we were out. At the time the most interesting thing that was playing seemed to be the movie “End of Watch” of which I knew almost nothing about. I …

50 Whodunit?s Classics DVD Set
The 50 Whodunit?s Classics DVD Set is a four disk collection of vintage murder mysteries and the like. The main thing to realize is that this set is an economical accumulation of movies and movie serials. The quality of the films and TV shows vary greatly. …

Untraceable
Untraceable is a thriller movie. My first question when I watched was, “Why Diane Lane”? But after watching, I think she really fit this role. She plays an FBI officer and imagine having to crack an internet crime..? The killer is sicker than sick and this …
Failure to launch/Matthew Mcconagughey & Sarah Jessica Parker
I loved this movie tremendously. As a survivor of the dating scene, I think we have all encountered at least one guy like this. It seems like he is the perfect guy that you have long been searching for. He has all the great qualities and looks irresistable. Then …
The Lake House
I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …
Righteous Kill
I highly recommend this movie. Robert de Nero and Al Pacino play in it together. Both are great in the movie, they grab your attention and don’t let it go. You have to pay attention to the movie to really understand what was going on. The other actors in …
The Change Up Movie 2011
Very recently I just saw the movie The Change Up. The theme of this movie is literally switching lives and switching bodies. If you have seen the movie the Kid with Tom Hanks or Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, pretty much this is exactly the …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
The Phantom Of The Opera (2004) Movie
A musical with a dark twist…Stunningly horrific…On your edge, nail biting…
Dumbest movie I have ever seen in my whole life. C’mon, what were the diretors thinking. Don’t waste your time people, just look at the name and walk away. This film was never meant to be made.
Rating: 1
Throne of Blood movie
Akira Kurosawa’s depiction of the classic Shakespeare play Macbeth moved to a japanese environment. Apparently Kurosawa was very clear on that fact that he wanted to make Throne of Blood a japanese film, and that the audience was supposed to feel the Shakespeare story was only in the background. …
Antz Disney Movie
Antz is one of Disney’s newer movies to be released on dvd. I have seen it multiple times, and it again and again impresses me. Its anamations are so impressive, and I am forever astounded at how detailed the characters’ facial gestures are, and how fluent their …

The movie Remember the Titans (2000)
As far as an actor goes I think that Denzel Washington is one of the best. It was with this in mind that I saw Remember the Titans.

World of Glory movie

Warlock (1989)

In hot pursuit to recapture …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …
Elvira Madigan movie
The most critically acclaimed swedish director - next to Ingmar Bergman and Victor Seastrom - Bo Widerberg here tells the story of the ropewalker Hedvig (aka Elvira Madigan) and the military officer Sixten Sparre. They are already a couple when the film starts, even though Sixten has his wife …
The Eleventh Hour Environment Movie
While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …
Doom-Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
I am familiar with the video game and couldn’t wait to see the movie. The story line consists of a group of space marines who are on a mission to investigate a colony mishap. “The Rock” stars as the commander in charge of the unit. I loved the special …
Cleaner, thriller film
Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …
Hidalgo (2004)
I tried to watch this movie so many times before and it just didn’t appeal to me in any way, shape or form, but that was until I had nothing else to watch on cable one night and it was on, so I decided to give it a try …
Green Zone Movie
There were several reasons why my husband and I decided to watch the movie Green Zone when it opens in Singapore this week. The trailer looks enticing and exciting enough. The other reason was of course the main actor, Matt Damon. We both love watching the Bourne trilogy and …
Sonic SatAM
I had heard great things about this show from several different people. I remember seeing it occasionally back when it was on Saturday mornings, but I didn’t watch it regularly simply because I had no clue who most of the characters were.
I picked up the DVD …

Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray Movie
After Alien 3 didn’t really impress me, I wasn’t sure Alien Resurrection would be any good. I purchased the Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray. The filmmakers ended the series on a really strong note, giving some finality to the alien storyline. Ripley died to keep the …
All That Jazz movie
All That Jazz is the story of the great choreographer, Bob Fosse. There is absolutely no doubt about just how talented Fosse was, but his personal life was full of trauma and personal problems. That’s how it often is for really great talents. Like Fosse, though, …
Michael Jackson’s This Is It
I hadn’t been to the movie theater in a long time since the big screen seems dominated by typical hollywood trash. But Michael Jackson’s This Is It was truly an exception because it’s an original movie that stands out in a culture full of one cheesy remake after …
Trespass (movie)
I was completely clueless that the movie “Trespass” even existed until someone made me watch it very recently. After watching it, I liked it so much that I couldn’t help but recommend it to people who are looking for a good suspense and thriller movie to watch. This was …

The movie stars Saoirse Ronan, a young Irish actress who played the role of Hanna. Her father Erik played by Eric Bana an ex-CIA person. The antagonist of the story is Cate Blanchett who plays Marissa Wiegler.

S.W.A.T movie

Jim Street (Colin Farrell) made a big mistake in his mission when …
Monsters versus Aliens
We got a chance to watch the movie Monsters versus Aliens this past weekend. When we did, I figured it would be something our daughter would like but I didn’t expect my wife and I to be entertained too.

Rose Red (2002 Rilm)
Stephen King has been one of my favorite authors for creepy and late night frightening stories of all time. One of his stories that turned to a movie, the 2002 production of “Rose Red” was not only chilling and suspenseful but a movie I have strangely grown to really …
Doom (2005)
One of the most hyped movies of 2005, and starring a big cast with the “Rock” Dwayne Johnson and Karl urban, it was based on the very popular video game: Doom. This movie was too dark and dismal to be enjoyed. It started out well, with a good …
