Santa with Muscles-film
I recently watched a comedy oriented Christmas film called santa with muscles starring the wrestler Hulk Hogan. Movies with Hulk Hogan as a lead are not too good and have average appeal.However,this film is a shame to the rest of Hogan’s movies. It was basically about a rich dude who …
Zootopia (2016 Film)
Rare are those animated films that I have to watch in cinemas. And in rare occasions like this one, I rushed my way into the metro traffic just to catch the last screening of Zootopia in my local cinema. I fear that I might not be able to watch it …

What Happens in Vegas
I really have to catch up on the buzz of this new-released movie, What Happens in Vegas, just released this year, 2008. It stars the unlikely couple in real life; my most favorite actress, Cameron Diaz (well, one of the most though) and the cute, hunky and sobs! …
Blade II,movie
After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …
Adjustment Bureau Movie
I was very excited to see the Adjustment Bureau. I am usually a fan of Matt Damon’s work because he is a very solid actor and has done movies that I have enjoyed in the past. Emily Blunt, although a much newer addition the Hollywood scene has also proven …
Katt Williams: American Hustle: The Movie (R, 2007)
I have never seen a stand-up comedy movie as funny as this one. I was a little weirded out by the fact that it was a “movie”–and not just a consecutive stand-up routine that was filmed. This movie featured Katt Williams and other comedians. But what …
Deep Impact
I’m not really big into Science Fiction, but this movie rocks! I could never get sick of seeing it. In case you haven’t ever seen it, here’s the basic plot. It’s about an asteroid that has a course headed straight for Earth. The part I find most interesting about …
Eyes of a Stranger
Eyes of a Stranger is a Richard Dean Anderson film from 1992 that I’ve never seen, most likely because I’m really not into murder mysteries that are scary all that much, and that’s what this film is suppose to be. Since someone gifted me with this recently, it …
The Greek Interpreter
I am reviewing The Greek Interpreter, a Sherlock HOlmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode is one of the best. This episode finds Holmes talking about his family for the first time to …
Summer Catch - (starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr.)
I have watched Summer Catch on DVD before starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr. They look so romantic together and I feel that they have a super chemistry together. Too bad they are not together in real life. The ending is a good one and I …
War aka Rogue Assassin Movie
I have always loved Jet Li ever since Kiss of the Dragon and Cradle to the Grave, however this is a much different setting than the earlier movies mentioned that still remain as my old-time favorites, this has a certain twist in a way that it is both gruesome, …
Valley of the Wolves, Iraq
This Valley of the Wolves, Iraq is a movie of a different perspective. It is a foreign film, and has artistic elements to it. My friend brought me to watch this, and it lasts for about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This movie is not about taking sides, …
Lord of War Movie
Nine times out of ten a moving staring Nicholas Cage is a big hit in our household. I have always enjoyed his movies so when my husband decided to rent the 2005 movie Lord of War I sat down expecting to enjoy the movie. Told as a narrative from …
He’s Just Not Into You comedy film

Rosalind Russell excels as Sister Kenny, a somewhat controversial Australian nun who came up with a treatment for polio. Based on the true story, this movie tells Elizabeth Kenny’s story of how she came upon a child with polio and began to treat her. It was the …
The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …
Spirited Away animation
“Spirited Away” presents remarkable detail in the way of animation. The creator of the animation is Hiyao Miyazaki. The storyline itself is highly imaginative. Suffice it to say: much goes into proper animation of a movie. During the process sometimes there is a tendency …
Bug (2007)
This movie is one of the nastiest, creepiest movies that you are ever going to see, when I first saw this movie, and how it all got off to a slow and easy going start by introducing the characters and how they got to know each other, it was …
13 Going on 30
13 Going on 30 is a delightful comedy that has been done many times before, but still succeeds in getting plenty of laughs.
The movie is about a young girl, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) who goes to bed as an uncool thirteen-year-old and wakes up the next morning in an unfamiliar …
Black Swan (2010 Film)

Bill wakes up in an isolation cell in a mental institution. He can’t remember exactly what he is doing there, only fragments seem to be remembered. A nurse tells him he’s been involved in a car crash, but Bill won’t take that as an answer. Why would they put …
Youth of the beast movie
This is an old Yakuza (japanese gangster movie) from the 1960s. Director Seijun Suzuki reveals a most violent movie for that age, which reminds a lot of John Woo movies from the 80s, so it’s clear where the inspiration came from. The cinematography is beautiful in color, the acting …
Fanny & Alexander Movie
For those who ever liked a film by Ingmar Bergman this is a definite must-see. I think perhaps most people choose this film as their first Bergman, and that is a wise decision, because even though the film has all of the trademarks of Bergman’s style, it isn’t as …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
Dawn of the Dead Movie(2004)
Once again another bad horror movie is made…and a corpse turns in its grave. Directors and actors please give note to this…stop making horror films as you know not what you are doing. You all lack the vision in what it takes to make a decent horror flick. If …

Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …
Sex and the City movie
I watched the movie of Sex and the city on one of the movie channels recently. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I don’t generally like the show sex and the city but the movie was pretty good. It had a lot …
Before the rain movie
This is a macedonian film by a filmmaker named Milcho Manchevski. It tells a tragic and most important story about the conflict in the Balkan countries. It is simplified as to between some different neighbourhoods, one Serbian, one Bosnian, one Albanian and one Macedonian. In the center stands a …
Maid in Manhatten
This is another great movie to add to your movie night ! It has Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes as the main leads. I think it is a sweet story of a hard working woman who realizes that she wants and deserves more out of life and finally …
Stargate SG-1 - The Enemy Within
The second episode of the TV series Stargate SG-1 was called “The Enemy Within”. It’s a transition episode really from the pilot movie to the series itself. It’s not a big favorite of mine, probably because it is still struggling with getting all its eggs in its …
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street movie
Never forgive, never forget.
A true quote that pretty much sums up the plot of this fantastic movie which came out in 2007. Based on the hit Broadway thriller-musical which starred Angela Lansbury as Mrs.Lovett and Len Cariou as Sweeney, this movie was directed by Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before …
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
Even though I have yet to attempt to read the books, I actually enjoy the Harry Potter movies when they come out. However, the fourth installment of the series, The Goblet of Fire, seems a bit weak compared to the first three.
I think part of it is the characters …
The Sound Of Music movie
Here is another favorite film of mine and of many others I know. Everyone must have seen the wild actics of this strange family and the new comer to the household. I even got me a whistle. “The hills are alive” hmmm, are they really, “with the sound of …
Drive Me Crazy
I see a lot of similarity between the actresses, Melissa Joan Hart and Alicia Silverstone. They both got famous due to teen related material and they cannot seem to go beyond that. Alicia Silverstone stuck in the “Clueless” and “Excess Baggage” phase, while Melissa Joan Hart got stuck in …
Fast and the Furious: Tokya Drift
The Fast and the Furious series took a sharp turn when they came out with the third installment, Tokyo Drift. It takes you to the heart of Japan where a young troubled kid who loves racing, Lucas Black who plays Sean Boswell, was sent to live with his father …
Mystic Pizza
Mystic Pizza stars the very talented and gorgeous Julia Roberts and when I looked at the DVD cover of this movie, it is really gorgeous with a nice illustration picture altogether. Annabeth Gish stars too and I think the acting’s awesome.
3 sisters with different lives to lead and their …
X-Men Evolution cartoon
“X-Men Evolution” was one of the best X-men Cartoons I can remember. On the other hand though it was the second X-men cartoon I can remember watching. It came out I think a little after the second X-men live action movie, and I liked it because the drawings were …
Iron Giant children’s movie

Baabul movie
Baabul is a good family picture. It is a Hindi film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Salman Khan, Rani Mukherjee, John Abraham, Parmeet Sethi, Om Puri, Aman Verma, Rajpal Yadav, Smita Jaykar, Avtar Gill, Gargi Patel. The playback singers for this film are Amitabh Bachchan, Salman …
Mr Brooks
Starring Kevin Costner (Earl Brooks), Demi Moore (Detective Tracy Atwood), William Hurt (Marshall), Dane Cook (Mr Smith), Marg Helgenberger (Emma Brooks), Danielle Panabaker (Jane Brooks)
The name ‘Kevin Costner’ attracted me when I was searching for a movie to watch. It cannot be too bad a show if Costner …
Life is Hot in Cracktown movie
On Friday night I was searching the TV guide for something to watch and saw that there was a movie being aired on Showtime called “Life is Hot in Cracktown”. While I figured it was going to be a pointless independent film that I might even have a hard …
Awake movie
Normally, when I watch a thriller, I find myself getting a bit bored at some point. After all, the thrills part of it will only last so long.
That wasn’t the case with the movie Awake. That’s because you have a good combination of thriller and mystery.
Hayden Christensen plays a …
