The opening scene of carriers is a group of young people driving down the road drinking. We find out they are following some sort of code of rules they made up but not why. They soon come upon a car that is stopped and begging for gas. …
Dark Ride (R, 2006)
Again, we have yet another slasher film that attempts to “defy” stereotypes that have existed in the past. Ok, well—perhaps the writers and directors weren’t really trying to defy anything. In fact, this type of movie has been done over and over and over and …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …

Inkheart (the movie)
I just watched Inkheart and totally loved it! Based on the book Inkheart by Cornelia Funke–which by the way, I didn’t read– although, now after seeing the movie I want to read the book.
The whole premise of the movie is about this man and his daughter who both …
Garden of Death movie
I am reviewing the movie, Garden of Death, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 2000, was produced by Brian True-May, and was based off the novels of author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, tea is the answer! This film revolves around the village’s uproar …

The Wedding Crashers movie
I must have been the only person on the planet who had not yet seen The Wedding Crashers until last week. I just didn’t think that I would enjoy what I perceived to be, from the trailers and from what people told me, a silly, guy romp movie where …

Prom Night (2008), slasher film
There is nothing as scary as J.S. Cardone’s remake of the classic 1980 horror film, Prom Night. A modern scary film that advertised itself as one of the best remakes of our time is about as dull as your real prom. Can the unrated blu-ray version of this film …
Fruits Basket Manga
Fruits Baskets is my all time favorite manga, by Natsuki Takaya, about a very optimistic, orphan high school girl named Tohru Honda who’s mother recently died. She lives in the woods while her grandfather is remodeling his house, and finds out she is living on the property of the …
Frida movie
Frida is a movie about Frida Kahlo, the Mexican painter who marries Diego Rivera. I had heard of Frida Kahlo, but I did not know she was married to Diego Rivera. In Texas, Diego Rivera is a big name, and he is revered for his works. Frida seems like …
Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …
Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol 6
I have no trouble admitting this: I am a huge fan of the Looney Tunes, and I have been ever since I was a kid, watching them on Saturday mornings. But then, as I got older, I discovered that there were certain cartoons in the Warner Bros. library that …
Legally Blonde
In “Legally Blonde” played by Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), the dumb blonde stereotype is exposed and explored, while the film always try to dismantle some blonde misperceptions.
Elle is a California girl, that is blonde, beautiful, and popular, being rich too. She’s the Homecoming Queen and President of her sorority. …
Blue Streak movie
“Blue Streak” is one of Martin Lawrence’s great movies. If you enjoyed his interpretation of “Big Momma’s House” films, then I can guarantee that you will definitely enjoy watching this movie which Lawrence did just a year before the “Big Momma” hit movies.
What I really liked about this movie, …
The Picture of Dorian Gray movie

Keeping the Faith (2000, Edward Norton)
I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …
Erin Brockovich
The movie “Erin Brockovich” came out in 2000 and I rushed out and bought it the moment it became available on DVD. This movie was inspiring to me because she didn’t let anything hold her back. Julia Roberts portrayal of Erin Brockovich was astounding. I have …
Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …

Tangerine (2015 Film)
The talk about “a film shot entirely with an iPhone 5S” stunned me last year. I know it is an indie (independent film) but still, the thought that almost everyone can make a glorious film without ever spending big is a big news for me. I have been very interested …
Mother and son movie
This is a film by the russian cinematic artist Alexandr Sokurov and tell a very slow story about a young man and his sick mother. Sokurov paints his film in stunningly beautiful images and overall I think this feels more like observing a painting than seeing a film, but …
Speak the Movie
I read the book speak a little while before I watched the movie, and both were equally bad. The movie was a little more confusing, and the characters were even more fake that they were in the book ,but at the same time, it was all okay because I …
High School Musical 2
High School Musical 2 is finally out. Everyone has been looking forward to the sequel to big hit High School Musical 1. I was looking forward to it as well. Even though I am not a very big fan of the first movie, I want to know what new …
Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
Serendipity the Movie
SERENDIPITY is a 90 minutes story of comedy, romance and a pinch of fantasy starring John Cusack who plays Jonathan Trager and Kate Beckinsale, who plays Sara Thomas. It is directed by Peter Chelsom and written by Marc Klein. This movie was released and was …
Movie - Serendipity
Serendipity is so beautiful, it’s almost cathartic. One of the loveliest movies I’ve seen.
The movie is about how if two people are destined to be together, luck brings them together. Kate Beckinsale (Sarah in the film) plays the sweet “believer” perfectly, while John Cusack (Jonathan in the film) …
Serenity movie
Serenity is a great movie but most of the people who have seen it either love it or hate it. Serenity is my favorite movie and was made as a follow up to the series Firefly by Joss Whedon that I love. Firefly was only shown for a few …
Just Like Heaven, Mark Waters Movie

Troll 2 movie
The movie I am about to review is considered one of the worst movies of all timec called Troll 2.This is for a very good reason.I will give my own personal reasons why the movie is so horrible.
The plot is essentially about Goblins that turn humans into plant-like matter …
Movie Blast
When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …
Vacancy, Nimród Antal Movie
While heading the design credit for ‘Vacancy’, director Nimród Antal debut in the United States, it will remind Thriller classic Alfred Hitchkock in 1960, ‘Psycho’. Moreover, with music accompanied by a score likewise, the plus location with the ‘incident’ by remote motel run by men psychopathic, it would certainly …

From Hell Movie
Poor Alan Moore. He created some of the most visionary graphic novels to ever see print and the film adaptations almost always disappoint. LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN went from adventure satire to an X-MEN clone. V FOR VENDETTA went from chilling vision of the future to pushing political themes …
Black Christmas Movie
This movie was very disappointing for me. for a scary movie it failed to impress me really sort of boring. after breaking out of a mental hospital to go home for christmas. The killer goes on killing spree at a collage sorority house full of girls, because the girls …
I Know Who Killed Me Movie
I have no problem admitting that I actually like Lindsay Lohan, or at least I like her as an actress even if I don’t care for her personality or partying. I actually like her as a singer too, which is why I think it’s a little sad to see …
Columbus (2017 Drama Film)
“Every frame a painting,” is a term that could be aptly applied to this movie. And awhile its fairly static camera movement could mean a slow-burning calorie to be devoured by any human being watching this, the results are staggering. This is a widely-fleshed drama of two suffering characters trying …
Chak De India
Chak De India is inspired from a real life story of ABC,The disgraced Indian Hockey player who rose like a Phoenix and made a magical comeback as a Coach. The character of ABC has been played by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan.
In the movie he is the disgraced captain of …
Easy-A: Movie
Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Although both my parents are adamant that I watched this movie with them in the theater, my earliest memory of watching this movie was when I watched this on video at my cousin’s house when I was still a young child in the early nineties. I can’t remember thinking …
A walk to Remember
I’d watched this movie when I was in college together with my college friends.
A very touching and heartwarming story.And I could watch it over and over again. I have to admit I shed tears watching this sad,sweet story of Landon and Jamie..My best movie of all time..
This is …

The People Vs. Larry Flynt movie
This is a 1996 film starring Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton, it is the true story of Larry Flynt and his Hustler Magazine. The fact that Woody played Flynt surprised me a little, a drastic shift in style for him, he does a really good job, before this film …
Just My Luck
I love watching Just My Luck pretty much and Lindsay Lohan plays the role of Ashley and she is a very much lucky person as it is. Everywhere she goes, people like her, she gets the most amazing gifts of all and friends that are supportive and everything. …
