Death’s Shadow movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death’s Shadow, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as Detective Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby. This movie was created in 1999 and was produced by Brian-True May and Betty Willingale. This movie was adapted for television from the book series …
War of the Worlds: Movie
War of the Worlds is one of my favourite alien invasion films; I thought it was really well made.
Besides having all the ingredients to make a got alien picture, such as the budget, the actors and the CGI; they also managed to capture what I find to be rather …
Hellboy 2 (R, 2008)
I typically do not like these types of films where the hero is grotesque, but has these sensitive powers. I was intrigued by the Hellboy concept, but never bothered to watch the first one. I have been told that it is probably a good thing as …
P2 : movie
P2 is a little-known horror movie that I stumbled across while watching movies online on my Netflix service. It’s not a movie I knew about her would’ve picked up most likely in the video store. But I checked it out on Netflix and I’m glad I did. …
The Rum Diary (2011 film)
This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …
Stargate movie
A few years after I became familiar with cable television, I began to notice different science fiction television series with the name “Stargate” included in its title. Even today, I have not watched it, but at the same time am familiar with shows such as “Stargate SG1″ and “Stargate …
Batman Begins (movie 2005)
The best Batman movie to-date, no contest. It shows a more serious and realistic take on the death of Bruce Wayne’s parents and the reason he decided to become the Dark Knight. It takes us alongside him as he struggles to find himself and the adventures he has while …
Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides movie
This is a movie that i’ve been waiting for, but sadly Indonesian government block the Motion Picture Association (the company that bring movies from Hollywood) for not paying taxes. Luckily i have internet connection which allow me to watch the movie from Torrent. Although the movie quality is low, …
A Life Less Ordinary
“A Life Less Ordinary” represents the early stages of two great actors; Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor. This is a very funny romantic comedy were we can see the great talents of the then almost unknown actors. In this movie, they are both sporting a trendy spiky haircut. We …
Now You See Me (movie)
One of the movies that I was lucky enough to watch on DVD recently was the movie “Now You See Me”. The first time that I had actually heard about this movie was when someone encouraged me to watch its trailer around three or so weeks before the movie …
Movie Jarhead
I just got finished watching this movie not to long ago. It was really good, my only complain about the movie is that it could have had a better ending to it. It was overall a pretty good movie. It made me laugh a little in some parts, but …
The Girl Next Door
The Girl Next Door (2004) is a comedy directed by Luke Greenfield and is rated R by the MPAA
The Girl Next Door is about a high school senior named Matthew Kidman (Emile Hirsch) thats been a good student and straight-laced so long that he feels like hes never really …
Movie : Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …
Underdog the Movie
Just imagine Lassie with super powers, Good Boy with manners and you get Underdog. If you loved watching movies featuring animals, then you probably already know how this movie will end. It was really painful to watch, and I had to endure it for a long time since I …
Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead
A few days ago, I was looking at new movies available for watch on our Netflix Instant Watch service and came across an older movie called Castle of the Walking Dead.
I had never heard of this movie before. But, it had Christopher Lee in it and sounded somewhat interesting …
The Bourne Ultimatum
In the past decade or so, there have been some pretty good actors. Both still famous and those who have fallen from the limelight. One of these actors to surface in the mid to late nineties was Matt Damon. He’s still an extremely successful actor and is the new …
Underdog (2007)
Disney’s remake of the cartoon series into real life with animation. In this movie, a dog assigned to the bomb squad makes his entrance by falsely detecting a bomb that turns out to be a leg of ham. Disgraced by his findings, he left the force after a series …
A Perfect Getaway (movie)
When the movie “A Perfect Getway” just began to advertise its release, I wasn’t very excited about seeing it, since from just watching a trailer I thought that the plot looked too familiar, and one of the main characters was Mila Jovovich, an action movie actress who I had …
Star Trek III movie
When it comes to Star Trek movies, there are none better than Star Trek III, The Search for Spock.
Taking place shortly after the Wrath of Khan (in which Spock dies at the end) the movie starts with Spocks funeral, where he is launched on to the developing planet Genesis. …
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …
The Ugly Truth comedy
The Ugly Truth is a romantic comedy starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler and directed by Robert Luketic. It is rated R.
Abby (Heigl) is the uptight producer of a morning news program. Although she is successful, she is looking for love and lives with her cat. …

This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/War and stars Matthew McConaughey as Lt. Abdrew Tyler, Bill Paxton as …
Bye Bye Birdie
I just adore Bye Bye Birdie and always have. It’s an upbeat, delightful movie musical with a cast that includes one of my favorites, Dick Van Dyke. Dyke’s good-natured demeanor make him perfect for this role as a budding musician with an overbearing mother and a very …
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
“The Wizard of Oz” is one of the best MGM musicals of all time and a film that continues to cross generational lines. I read somewhere that they had originally wanted Shirley Temple to play the part of Dorothy. As talented a child actress as Temple was, …
Spiderman Movie
When the movie Spiderman came out in theaters, I remember it got a lot of attention. I for one wasn’t any less thrilled than everyone else since I grew up reading Marvel comics even though those days I hadn’t read one in a long time.
I had no idea …
For Richer or Poorer
The movie for Richer or Poorer is so magnificently funny I almost wet myself over laughing. It is about a rich couple who’s marriage is falling apart and they are trying to get a divorce. While this is happening their personal accountant is stealing money from …
Taare Zameen Par
Taare Zameen Par is perhaps the greatest bollywood movie that I have ever watched. It is a movie about a little boy, Ishaan, who is dyslexic, but his parents fail to realise this. As the story progresses you cannot help but laugh at all of the mischief …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
I have seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show two times in my lifetime; last night was the second time. Each time I enjoyed the movie but I found myself leaving awfully confused.
Let me start out by saying that, if you haven’t seen this movie already, you may want to …
Scary Movie 2
I just took a few minutes to review the movie Scary Movie. Since I did that, I wanted to take another couple minutes to talk about the sequel, Scary Movie 2; which is one of the very few sequels that might actually be better than the original.
I like this …
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
Release Date: 1993
Genre: Fantasy/ Animation
Running Time: 76 minutes
Directed by: Henry Selick
Written by: Tim Burton, Michael McDowell
Music by: Danny Elfman
It is evident that The Nightmare Before Christmas is a project close to Tim Burton’s heart. Burton, who was trained as an animator before becoming a director, has created an imaginary world …
Sherlock Holmes movie
I can’t remember the last time I sat through a silent movie. Aside from the Mel Brooks’ flick, Silent Movie, which actually had one spoken word in it, I believe it was back in the 70’s when I sat through an authentic silent film. Well, I caught …
All about Steve Movie (2009)
I must have watched this movie 10 times already. It is really special. It is a funny, light, love comedy. At the same time, it does not strictly follow the typical structure of a romantic comedy. All About Steve is just a little bit to weird to fit the …
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …
Happy Feet (the movie)
Don’t we all just love penguins? I know I do. I was really excited when the movie came out, i really had big expectations about it since it only heard good things about it. And the day finally came, I went to the cinema (which nowadays I do rarely) …
War of the Worlds (Movie 2005)
This is an interesting film to watch for the first time as you just want to see the outcome. To want to watch this movie more than once is strictly an individual experience, as I found that it does not have what it takes to hold me glued to …
Movie Knowing
I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
The Shame movie
Perhaps one of Ingmar Bergman’s most underrated film from the late 1960s, as usual by that time with Liv Ullman and Max von Sydow in the leading roles. It’s very uncharacteristic for Bergman as it deals with the atrocities of war, and this loving couple who are slowly driven …
Julie & Julia movie
Julie & Julia turned out to be an enchanting little film that amazingly told two different stories amazingly well. Julie is Julie Powell, a young housewife with the goal of wanting to finish something for the first time in her life. What she chooses, with the help …
Sex and the City the movie
I am the fan from Sex and the city TV serial. I always watch it every season and never nissed it. When it will be making in movie, I’m happy because it’s been four years those serial is ended.
Like the serials, sex and the city the movie still starred …
Miracle in the Rain movie
If you want to see a motion picture about the mystery and magic of love, then Miracle in the Rain is the movie for you. This picture sends tingling chills up my spine, the kind of chills from the enduring legacy of a love that can’t and won’t …
Movie Underworld
STORYLINE
This movie is about the on-going feud between vampires and Lycans (warewolves). Obviously fictional, the movie takes place in the modern era when the Lycans hunt for a human whose blood comes from a special line. Selene, a vampire, recognized this while hunting down the Lycans. She reports this …
Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …
Movie: Chloe
Synopsis: A wife hires a prostitute to seduce her husband so she can prove he is unfaithful.
What I liked about this movie: A lot of movies like this have a bunch of actors and actresses that aren’t well known. This one actually had three very well known players; Liam …
Prescription: Murder movie
Prescription: Murder was the movie that spawned the iconic Columbo TV series. The movie starred the dapper Gene Barry in the murderer’s role. That was one thing that was special about the Columbo series. It was always a game of cat and mouse. The mystery …
Wanted movie
I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …
Movie The Breakfast Club
After a year from doing the movie “Sixteen Candles”, the director John Hughes returned back with another teen movie “The Breakfast Club”. In my opinion, “The Breakfast Club” is by far much better teen story than “Sixteen Candles”. Interesting is that the actress, Molly Rigwald and Anthony Michael Hall …
