Robots Movie
Clever, original, funny and it has a decent plot. It’s very easy to like this movie whether you are young or young at heart. A classic for future generations. The first time i saw this movie was as an inflight movie on British Airways…maybe I was tired, because I …
He Knows Youre Alone (movie)
I think that there are two types of slasher movie fans. These are those who like gore, and those who seem to watch slasher movies mostly for the thrill of it. Nevertheless, after watching the 1980 slasher film “He Knows You’re Alone” twice, I do not think that either …
Zoolander
Watch Zoolander and you will go crazy laughing like mad. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this and this is such a funny movie if I’m not mistaken during the early 2000-2003, not sure which period.
However, do not take too serious note of the political issues …
The Glimmer Man (1996)
Steven Seagal stars as Jake Cole, a for Intelligence Agent known as the Glimmer Man for apparently being able to move so fast that his victims could tell he was there until he was upon them A glimmer before they did. Cole leaves the Agency after finding new religion …
Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie
I skipped this film in theaters because I wasn’t sure that I could sit through two hours of watching people pretend that a Real Doll (sex doll) was really the girlfriend of a local man. I realized upon watching this movie that I was right in my decision …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …
Lord of War (2005 movie)
This movie tells the true-life story of international gun-runner, people who are paid highly to distribute all manner of weapons across the world. They sell weapons to anyone with enough money to buy them, no questions asked. In Lord of War, it focuses mainly on one of these international …
A Walk To Remember movie
I was able to watch the A Walk To Remember movie when I was in high school, which was roughly seven years ago and yet I still remember it very clearly and I love the movie very much. I didn’t even know it was based from the book until …
Movie: “Evan Almighty” (2007)
This movie was a sequel to the 2003 comedy classic “Bruce Almighty”, but it did absolutely no justice to “Bruce”. “Evan Almighty” was sheer disappointment from start to finish.
The usually hilarious Steve Carell returns as Evan Baxter, his character from the first movie. In this film, he has just …
Something New movie
“Something New” is an interesting movie which explores a relationship between a black woman and a white man. What I really liked about this movie is the intelligent way by which it presented the story within a simple and straight forward context and, at the same time, ensuring to …
Keeping the Faith (2000, Edward Norton)
I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …
Sliding Doors comedy
This would be just another romantic comedy were it not for its original storyline. It tells the story of a young girls, who’s just had a terrible day. She’s been fired and when she’s running to get onto the subway, a weird thing happens. The reality sort of split into …
Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children
I’ve always wondered what happened to the character of Final Fantasy 7 after the game and now I know. This is a feature length film set 2 years after the Meteor incident in FF7. Everyone has settled back into normal life until an old evil force is set to …
Final Destination 1 movie
This movie doesn’t really make much effort in building on the original, save for making the death sequences even more gruesome than its predecessor.
We open up on a new bunch of protagonists, this time lead by precognitive Kimberly who halts a stream of traffic after having a vision of …
The Dark Side of the Sun Movie
Rick (Brad Pitt) is a young man born with a very rare and serious skin condition that makes exposure to sun, or any kind of light, dangerous for him. So Rick lives in the dark, with all the windows shut tight, and does not venture out unless he wears …
Descent (NC-17, 2007) movie
Man oh man, was I disappointed with this movie. There aren’t too many films starring Rosario Dawson that I absolutely hate. But this one—an indie—about her “brutal” rape was just strange. The premise is that she’s an introverted college student who is lured into …
Twilight Saga Eclipse (2010)
I went to see this movie on opening night at midnight and it was 100 percent worth it. Im not usually an avid twilight series fan, my friends just asked me to go and i thought it would be cool to be one of the first ones to see …

Marley & Me Movie 2008
I adored this film - Marley and Me - but I suspect that has a lot to do with the fact that I do love dogs. Marley is a Labrador owned by John and Jennifer (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) and the movie covers their life with Marley …
Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …
Terminator Salvation
The fourth film in the popular Terminator franchise takes place in the future that was only alluded to in the first three films. Christian Bale plays John Connor, the now adult leader of the human resistance fighting to take down Skynet and their army of Terminators.
The plot, while …
X Men cartoon series
The X men cartoon TV show is very good. I really love this show. This is probably one of the most exciting and action packed TV shows ever made. And I use to wake up early just to see it every Saturday morning.
I think the story lines and plots …
Wolf Of Wall Street, movie
It wouldn’t sound too strange to say that The Wolf of Wall Street is in fact an adaptation of the classic 70s song Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, perhaps without the —˜Rock and Roll’. Scorsese’s latest 3 hour film is an indulgent look at the life of Jordan …
Movie Money Train
I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …
A Bug’s Life animation film
I really like this animation film so much. Although I am already an adult I still find it a very enjoyable one. I love it so much since it has a lot of lessons learned. As a viewer it left me with lots of points to ponder on. I …
My big fat greek wedding
My big fat greek wedding is a nice romantic movie and is one of my all time favorite movies. It is basically a love story of a girl and the journey from then to marriage. Finally the movie ends with the wedding of the girl in greek style. Toula …
Shrek the Third
After years of hearing just how bad “Shrek the Third” was I decided that it was time to try the movie myself. I can certainly see why so many people disliked it but it was nowhere near as bad as I had expected.
One of the major problems with this …
Chocolate (movie)
Chocolate is a beautiful movie about a mother and daughter who move to a small town and turn the town upside down! They come in red hoods, much like Red Riding Hood. Evidently the wind started blowing and the preacher and town elders knew something important was about to …
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004 movie)
For a movie that generated so much attention…it sure is boring. I tried to watch the movie straight tp the end, but it was hopeless. I couldn’t keep up with this movie as it didn’t have that staying power that a viewer looks for. It was long and drawn …
The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
The Long Kiss Goodnight, directed by Renny Harlin is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for a substantial amount of strong bloody violence, and strong language. The original release date was October 11, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Thriller …
Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …
Boogie Nights (1997 film)
“Boogie Nights” finds director Paul Thomas Anderson (”Magnolia,” There Will Be Blood”) absorbing some amazing influences in both cinematography, structure and storytelling, rolling them all together and making the result uniquely his own. The tragicomic story of a group of porn producers and actors in California’s San Fernando Valley …
Sixteen Candles
What is interesting about teen movies is the fact that every time period is associated to a film. Now a days is “High School Musical” period, but in the 80’s they had “Sixteen Candles” which was a smashing hit at the time.
This movie definitely marked the beginning of …
Spiderman-3
Recently I had been to watch the movie Spiderman part 3 that is marvellous. Wow the fight seens and, the costume is very good. I liked the movie a lot. I never miss the spider man movies. I have seen all the parts of …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
The Hills Have Eyes 2, Martin Weisz Movie
‘The Hills Have Eyes 2′ is a remake of a sequel. Although the original movie directed by Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) in the year 1977, also has sequel with the same title in 1985. However, the version of 2007 is not a remake of the 1985 …

Take The Lead movie
I was able to watch Antonio Banderas mostly n action films, so I never really thought that he can dance.
I love this movie so much since it is a very realistic one, it really talks about the life of high school students. I can relate to the girl seeking …
Movie: Shutter Island
It has been a while since I actually watched a psycho thriller. Psycho thrillers are weird, crazy and scary, but I enjoy them a lot! Last week, I finally got my hands on a DVD copy of Shutter Island and I was oozing with curiosity with just what is …
Spinout movie
I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …
Cowboy Bebop episode 2
In Cowboy Bebop, episode 2, cool dog’s strut is a marvelous excuse of a waste of time. Keeping up with Cowboy Bebop’s unparalleled style, the entire episode seems to be an excuse to write in Rin. Who is our new lovable bioengineered welsh carrier, that seems to hog …
Robin Hood movie
If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it. The opening was depressing and vulgar, and it was anything from the bright and usually …
Tum (movie)
The movie Tum released few years ago and disappeared from the cinema theatres at the same time. The movie casts Manisha Koirala playing the protagonist character of Kamini. Her husband Vinod is played is Rajat Kapoor is busy in his work and can not spend much time in family. …
Brokeback Mountain movie
I was a bit hesitant to watch Brokeback Mountain because I’ve never really seen two men kissing or making love on screen. But with all the hype and critical acclaim that the movie received (along with several Oscar nominations), I just had to see it. So I rented a …
The Nun’s Story: A Film by Fred Zinnemann (1959)
I have heard this film is one of Audrey Hepburn’s acclaimed performances. I personally believe it’s also the most critically-absorbing film in the entire Audrey Hepburn —˜genre’. The austere screenplay was very consistent to the point that it almost felt like watching an art film. The …
Annapolis movie
When I rented Annapolis on DVD this weekend, I was expecting another great military movie. What I got was a good boxing movie with a little bit of military in the background.
Centering around the life of a U.S. Naval Academy recruit, Annapolis gave me an idea of what new …

Movie War of the Worlds (2005)
Even though War of the Worlds is a great movie and I enjoyed watching it very much, I was not happy with the fact that Tom Cruise played the leading role. I did not think the character of Ray Ferrier was portrayed as believable and may have been better …
