Public Enemies is one of the best made movies I’ve seen in a long time. It tells the parallel stories of John Dillinger on his rise to bank-robbing fame, and the G-Men whose job it was to take him down. Christian Bale and Johnny Depp deliver …

American Sniper, movie
Possibly one of Clint Eastwood’s most acclaimed directorial efforts, naturally surpassed by “Million Dollar Baby”, “American Sniper” is both transfixing and emotionally powerful in exploring the turbulent life of the factual Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper): regarded as the United States’ most brutal and lethal sniper. Opening with an intense and …
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 …
A beautiful mind film
A beautiful mind is a great movie and it deserved all the academy awards it got. It is one of those movies which leaves the viewer with a little pain after watching the movie. Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly starred in this classic movie and Russell Crowe is at …

Storm Warning Movie
Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …
Step Up Movie
This is actually a pretty old movie and the first movie that I had ever seen Channing Tatum in. Now, he is more popular than ever, but when this movie came out, I don’t think he was all that popular. Anyway, this is probably the movie that picked up …
The Cutting Edge
I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can recite some of the dialogues already. The Cutting Edge is actually one of my most favorite romantic movies of all time. I never get tired of watching
it. It’s a story about a young and talented hockey player, Doug, (D.B. …

‘The Host’ started an officer the U.S. that seems to have a higher authority, told subordinates that a Korea to discard the waste chemicals that are toxic to culminate in the disposal of the Han River. Although protest the first subordinate Korea, but the U.S. officers permanent force. Four …
Midway movie
In 1976, Midway was released. This large, star-filled ensemble cast tells the story of the battle of Midway. For me, there are pluses and minuses to this production.
I do enjoy the story of the battle. It was important in World War II, and the story should …
Returner Movie
When earth have been invaded by aliens and the downfall is very close, one human being manages to travel back in time to stop the invasion before it takes place.
This is mostly interesting because of the poetic imagery it uses and the excellent actor Takeshi Kaneshiro. The film is …
Click movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …

Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …
Pollock movie
Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
In the movie “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” one can see Lindsey Lohan dreaming to become an actress and Megan Fox interpret the role of a mean girl. An interesting fact is that, while in this movie Lohan is the lead actress, in the present situation Megan Fox …
Forbidden Kingdom
I’m a big fan of action films and martial arts movies. I was very excited when I learned that Jackie Chan and Jet Li, two of Asia’s most popular martial arts actors, are going to star in one movie. I really waited for this movie to be shown and …
Battle L.A. Movie
I had not heard much about Battle L.A., which is surprising because it is the current big blockbuster alien movie and that usually means millions of dollars in advertising. The only advertising I have seen for this film is some posters in subway stations. The posters explain the basic …

The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan
Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …

Elsewhere movie

Sisters (movie)
Sisters is about two evil sisters, Danielle and Dominique. Danielle and Dominique are twins who are pretty weird. In fact, this entire movie is weird and full of gore and guts. It seems that Danielle and Dominique will not let anything stand in their way, and they stand up …
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?”
Tyler Perry is an awesome film maker. I really enjoyed his most recent film entitled “Why Did I Get Married?” The movie focused on relationships and the problems that each couple was dealing with in their marriage.
In the movie, there were four couples and they were all friends. …
ConAir (1997)
This movie, though with some violent scenes, for me, is one of my ‘feel good movies’ I can brag about having seen. The good guys in this movie, Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) and US Marshall Vince Larkin (John Cusack) did a very good job. I am also very …
Star Wars: Clone Wars
This DVD should not be confused with The Clone Wars which is now on TV. This movie is also a cartoon but it feels like a series of ten minute stories about Clone Wars. This has most of the characters from the prequels and there is no doubt that …
Desperado
“Desperado” was one of those films which I had put off seeing for a very long time. Even though I did not know what it was about, I somehow felt that it might resemble too much of one of those Stephen Segal flicks I hated watching. I also was …
Movie “Eyes Wide Shut” (1999)

Road Trip
When the movie Road Trip first came out, I will confess I wasn’t overly impressed by it. For the most part, it seemed to be pretty much every other college movie I’ve ever seen.
Then, after watching it for about the third time, I think I might have finally realized …
Trains Planes & Automobiles movie
I watched the movie Trains Planes & Automobiles a long time ago and didn’t remember a whole lot about the movie. So, when I got a chance to watch it again last night, I decided to (there wasn’t anything good on TV now that Monk is off the air).
I …
Tesla - Comin’ Atcha Live! 2008 DVD
I recently bought The Comin’ Atcha Live 2008 concert Dvd live in Minnesota by The Hard Rock band Tesla and it is one of the best Live DVD’s. Although the band Tesla is underrated and it shows with this smaller club venue, but at least they sold it out …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …

Bicentennial Man
There is something special about robot movies, provided that they are done well, of course. This one is. Robin Williams plays Andrew, the ‘bicentennial man’ - a robot. Built to work as a servant (a bit of a clich perhaps, but it is only logical to use robots for …
August Rush
In a nutshell the film “August Rush” is about fate and dreams. What is fantastic about this great movie is that the young actor, Freddie Highmore acting abilities are simply wonderful. Before “August Rush”, Highmore also appeared in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Finding Neverland”.
The story of “August …

Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
