I was really excited about this movie as the first movie was really good. I was also expecting more added characters here and this movie was more exciting because of them. The plot is about Sam Witwicky deciding to leave for college to have a normal life and to …

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First off: “The Hobbit - an unexpected journey” looks absolutely amazing on a big screen, especially when viewed through 3D glasses. Not only do the scenic landscapes cover you in goosebumps, the amount of details is also awe-inspiring. Every single wart on every single, butt ugly ork, every hair …
Robot & Frank (2012)
This is a movie about an elderly man. Yes, it’s got a robot in it and, yes, the old man used to be a cat burglar, but it’s still a movie about an old person. That may not excite some of the younger generation. But for those of us …
P2
When I came across the movie P2 on one of our movie channels last night, I confess I only decided to watch it because it was getting late and there really wasn’t much else on. When I put it on, I figured it wasn’t going to be a good …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
Going my way
I have watched the movie ‘Going my way’. The main actor is Bing Crosby. The movie is not so interesting. Crosby plays the role of Father O’Malley. Now this priest has been given an order by the Bishop to go to a particular church to replace the priest over …
Slumdog Millionaire
I have always loved watching indie films and Slumdog Millionaire has made it to my list of favorite movies. The story revolves around Jamal Malik, a waiter cum assistant in a call center in Mumbai, India who joins a localized version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”. Malik …
Movie The Descent
Normally, if a horror movie is made in Britain, I find myself bored very quickly. But, I have to admit the film The Descent was actually pretty decent.
I’m still not sure about the premise, a group of women bonding by exploring an unexplored cave. But, I have to admit, …
Movie: Elf
The family is in bed early tonight. And, since I don’t have much else to do, I’m sitting on the couch watching the movie Elf.
I have seen this Will Ferrell Movie at least a dozen times now and, like most Christmas classics, it is a movie I just cannot …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
Kingsman: The Secret Service (action adventure spy movie)
Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of those movies that I just knew I had to see right after watching the trailer for the first time. The trailer gave me the impression that the movie would be funny, action-packed and overall exciting. When I did actually get the chance to …
My Best Friend’s Wedding
At the time this movie was launch at the cinemas, it was labelled as another Julia Roberts movie. However this movie was much more then that! “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is one of the best romantic movies of all time and at the same time it was the first …
Accepted movie
Ever since I first saw this movie being advertised to be released in theaters, I knew that without a doubt it was going to be another one of those hilarious college movies. Therefore, I made plans to go and see it, but was unable to carry them out so …

My friend has been hounding me to watch Irreversible, starring Monica Belluci. She said that it was the most horrific rape scene she had watched and even said that people walked out during it�s showing in disgust. So I was finally able to buy the DVD and watched it …
Rambo, First Blood
I watched Rambo First Blood on video the other day and once again found myself enjoying a movie I’ve watched at least a dozen times before.
One of Sylvester Stallone’s best films ever, the movie is very well written and really makes you think about our Vietnam veterans and what …
Snakes On A Plane Movie
Snakes On A Plane is a movie that I actually like. I missed out on all the hoopla surrounding the movie, and never visited any of the spoiler sites, or the blogs that followed the movie’s progress so I didn’t have any expectations going into the movie. All I …
Movie-Chocolat
This film powerfully demonstrates how humans should never repress themselves. The protagonist courageously braves all criticisms and alienation to introduce to this rigid town, that one can act on human desire.
The town, despite its extremeness in following unwritten rules, exemplifies a lot of our societies. The protagonist, enviably shepherds …
Hancock
Hancock, a movie about a superhero thought to be the last of his kind is a quite enjoyable movie if you’re in to the whole superhero thing. Starring Will Smith, this movie introduces John Hancock a lonely, depressed, miserable drunk who saves his city at any cost. At any …
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Movie
After the success of Transformers in 2007, I couldn’t wait to see what they would do with the Transformers next. To be honest, I loved and hated Transfromers Revenge of the Fallen. For many different reasons. I did not think that Revenge of the Fallen was as good or …
Juno film

Superbad
When I first saw the previews for Superbad, I was extremely excited and was ready to see one of the funniest movies in recent memories. All of the critics were praising it and when I walked into the theater I was ready to have my mind blown. …
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …
The Bourne Legacy (2012)
The Bourne Legacy is actually a huge disappointment. I delayed watching it because I was reading the book. After reading the book by Eric Van Lustbader, the actual movie was a complete disappointment. As a matter of fact, the movie is still a disappointment even without reading the actual …

The only thing Brendan was known …

Movie, The Imitation Game
I stumbled upon reading in advance about our Philosophy subject and I read something about the Turing Test. That made me think of the movie I just watched. Alan Turing is the main character of the movie The Imitation Game and he is also the same Turing in the Turing …
The Woman in the Dunes movie
Hiroshi Teshigahara’s probably most famous work is a very, very odd sort of symbolic journey through a desolated landscape with lonely people. A man and his wife live in a small house in the desert. They are both troubles by the presence of something in the dunes. Actually, the …
13 Going On 30 (movie)
13 Going On 30 is one of the most idiotic movies I have ever seen. My family saw it and convinced me to sit down and watch with them. Well, I will give 13 Going On 30 credit for getting the family to sit through one more viewing because …
The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Film

Mamma Mia! The Movie
I have loved Abba songs as a young girl and it was a nice surprise to find out that a movie has been made using some of their songs. Later I discovered that the movie was actually based on a successful stage musical! (Wish I could watch that someday).
We …
Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016 Film)
The most awaited new addition to the X-men movies finally came out, the X-men Apocalypse. It was released in the US last May 27, 2016. The movie was directed by the famous director, Bryan Singer. He also directed the previous X-men movies like the X-men: First Class and X-men: Days …

Masters of Horror : Pro Life (NR, 2007) movie
The Masters of Horror series is like a crap shoot. You never know what kind of mess (or jewel) you’re going to get. John Carpenter, the director behind this film did a fairly good job of creating suspense and horror. The film focuses on a 15 …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse Movie
I really loved the first two Resident Evil movies, and have even picked up the newest special edition DVD versions whenever they come out. I was excited to see this one, but ended up feeling really disappointed.

Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …
Gone in Sixty Seconds, movie (1974)
