2006’s Ultraviolet has an awesome concept.

These affected people are considered outcasts. These “enhanced” humans …

Shinobi is a japanese movie but depending on where you get it, it comes with english subs (in my case, thai and chinese were available also). Shinobi actually means ninja. It’s your typical movie of two ninja tribes going against each other but the boy and girl from different …

With all due respect to Mr. John Voight and Miss Mary Steenburgen I like them both because they are very good actor and actress. I never doubted their talents after all these years I have watched their movies; however, I really did not like one of the movies …

How did Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth movie franchise fall so far from the heights reached with his original Lord of the Rings trilogy?

It was my friend who actually recommended the horror film called “The Hole” to me some time ago. The person didn’t tell me much about it either since I don’t like to be told much about movies before I watch them; but nevertheless, based upon how they described it, …

As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.
Grant plays his normal character, a single man who looks to hook up with various women and starts out lying to them …

Had a chance to watch “Stranger than fiction”, a great movie that has both comedy and drama. The plot is extremely catchy as Will Ferrell, an IRS agent, is living a life narrated by an author played by Emma Thompson. A typical IRS agent, counting his actions in numbers, …

It is an entertaining film based on the concept of time traveling. This concept has always thrilled me and I was curious to know about it. The first half of the movie is pretty enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. I am not a die hard fan of science …

The Nanny Diaries reminds me very much of my first few jobs. I think it is such an awesome movie and I love Scarlett Johansson’s acting tremendously. I love it very much and it is such a good and funny movie which made me laugh very much. …

Did you guys ever manage to watch Good luck Chuck before? It was super hilarious and I kept on laughing like crazy. Just couldn’t get a-hold of myself and it has mainly Dane Cook as the character name Chuck Logan and Jessica Alba as the beautiful and alluring …

What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …

An insane comedy with Ben Stiller and an aged Robert De Niro. Stiller is a young nervous man who comes to meet his parents in law for the first time, which results in chaos and lots of humoristic situations. I personally think Ben Stiller is a talented comedian, but …

‘This is England’ is a marvellous movie about growing up, friendship, love, pain and hatred. The story is set in Britain in 1983, just in the middle of Iron Lady’s reign and the Falklands War. A very young boy, Shaun, is going through a very difficult time. His dad …

Watching Ice Age was fairly decent. Ice Age: The Meltdown wasn’t so great. It was somewhat humorous with Queen Latifah’s character, but it wasn’t that great of a movie. The plot lacked depth and the ending was simple. It was a decent children’s movie, but it certainly wasn’t that …

I am reviewing the movie, Showtime, which was released in 2002. It stars Robert Deniro as LAPD cop Mitch Preston, a tough no-nonsense man. Starring alongside him is Eddie Murphy, who plays Trey,a wanna be actor who also happens to be a cop. After shooting a camera …

A Little Princess is a movie made in 1995 that stares Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron and Liam Cunningham. This is a family movie which has an exceptional sweet and sad story. It would be one of the all time best I have seen.
I really do consider this to be …

There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …

The Break-Up should’ve broken up before ever hitting the movies. After renting this movie, I really wanted to ask for my money back. It was not at all like anything that I expected. The ending was absolutely horrible. When I read the cover before renting …

This is another one of those creepy animal movies, this time being based on ancient Greek mythology. If you’re familiar at all with mythology, then you should know that Cerberus is the three-headed dog that belongs to Hades, God of the Underworld (land of the dead, afterlife). His dog …

The movie catches the common viewer’s attention rather quickly. I’m someone who has a hard time getting into movies which don’t take off quickly.. and this movie is a classic example of the complete opposite.
PLOT
The movie more-or-less has 2 plots, these include entirely seperate events, but eventually unfold and …

Some times I wonder if Hollywood has given up trying to come up with something original and just keeps rehashing the same plot in a different context.
The movie Pride is a perfect example of this.
Overall, Pride is an OK film. But, it’s the same film I’ve seen 20 times …

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.
There is absolutely nothing memorable about this movie. After a few days, …

This movie is titled Prom Night and I was very hesitant and reluctant to watch it at first because it seemed like it was too unpredictable. The movie is all about a group of teens and they are one by one murdered on prom night —“ simple as that. …

My daughter loves the newer Scooby Doo episodes. So, when she wanted to rent a movie last weekend, we ended up picking up a movie that featured several episodes “Monstrous Tails.”
And, after watching it with her probably about three dozen times over the past week, I have to say …

I really enjoyed watching Big. I saw this movie as a kid and I will never forget it. I think this movie was very well done and has a nice warm feeling inside. I think that this movie is great for families to watch together. Big stars Tom Hanks and …

The first time I saw this video, I honestly thought it was a fluke, a trick video. Then I recognized Michael Jay White, from Spawn. That’s when it hit me that this was a real video. From what I’ve read, it’s not an upcoming trailer or anything like it. …

When it comes to Westerns, this movie has to be one of the best ones to ever be released.
Kevin Costner does a great job portraying the legendary marshall as the movie tells the story about him moving to Tombstone. Dennis Quaid also put in a great performance as Earp’s …

I have long been looking forward to seeing the movie “Bedtime Stories” starring the comedic actor Adam Sandler. However, I didn’t want to see it in the theatres when it came out because at the time I thought it might have been a
children’s movie as well as I did …

I found “The Couple” to be an engaging, entertaining movie. The October 2006 movie is just the latest in what has almost become a genre in filmmaking: the efforts to prevent Jews from going to a concentration camp and to rescue them from Nazi Germany.
I like the story of …

I don’t know why I bother taping “horror” films off of the SyFy channel. Yes, occasionally, they will have a decent one. But, more often than not, the movies are actually pretty darn terrible.
The film Open Graves is a good example of that.
I DVR’d this film back in February …

Children of Men: The world has stopped procreating due to some unknown inferility plaguing the world. One woman is pregnant and she must be safely transported to the “Human Project.” What this project is, the movie never explains. Why humans are infertile or why she is able to have …

Stupidity was a documentary made for the Documentary Channel in Canada. It is about exactly what it says it is about: Stupidity.
Truthfully I have to say I had higher hopes for the documentary than they ended up fulfilling. Some of the stuff at the beginning …

What initially got my attention when the 1962 film Wild Guitar began was a shot of Revue Studios, which produced my favorite show of all time, Laramie. I’d never seen the Revue building and knowing a bit about Los Angeles, this gave me an idea of where it …

Daniel Craig’s second outing as James Bond 007 was a sad disappointment, especially following the excellent ‘Casino Royale’, a film that managed to successfully reboot the franchise and make Agent 007 popular again with fans that had long grown tired of the outlandish and unrealistic direction the franchise was …

I didn’t expect this movie to be any good, but I admit I was wrong. Even though the story follows a very familiar template - a plain unpopular girl gets transformed into a gorgeous celebrity - the movie has a lot more than that. Mia, the unpopular teenage girl, …

The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …

Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …

I was not a fan of the Saw movies at first. But by the time the third one was due to be released, I had a newfound respect. This is because I like the way the director and writers have pulled together all three stories into one …

I am reviewing the movie, Enough, starring Jennifer Lopez. I am not usually a fan of Jennifer Lopez, but I must say that she did a great job in this movie. I usually don’t like any movies in which she stars, but this one is exceptional. …

I rented “The Lovely Bones” thinking it would be more of a supernatural thriller, but what I found it to be was a very heartwarming story of acceptance and grief. A young girl is murdered, but caught in the in-between of life and death, searching for meaning and to …
