Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …

Yes, Jack Sparrow is back. Johnny Depp has proved once again that he’s one of the best actors in the world. Why? Because he managed to achieve a good role in, maybe, one of the weakest plots and one of the worst directions in the history of the movie …

After the defeat in Tobruk in 1942, Joe Gunn leads his troops through the desert of Sahara to get away from Rommel’s army and reach his allied forces.

If you are not careful and of sound mind, you will miss what this movie is actually saying. You might even have to watch it on more than one occasion to get the real meaning behind it. Here is what this movie gives and you are going to have …

Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have never even made it to my list of favorite actors. Nor have their movies ever made such an impression on me. I had to force myself to watch The Proposal because I literally had nothing better to do and I totally missed watching …

Quarantine must have been written during the writers strike or at least by a nephew of a producer. How a script like this is green lit makes even a hack like me think I could do better. I don’t know if this was …

If you love movies inspired by true events and documentaries and if you love action and is the outdoorsy type, you’ll surely love this movie. It’s based on real facts and it’s even much talked-about in the press conferences and interviews before it was actually showed because of it’s …

I have never watched the show Get Smart; even though it has been on television in re-runs for decades. Yet, for some reason, when I saw the movie based on the series “The Nude Bomb,” I figured I would watch it.
I didn’t even get halfway through it before I …

A Mighty heart is a boring movie which I have seen a few days back on a cable channel, by mistake. The movie starring Angelina Jolie, Dan Futterman, Will Patton and Irrfan Khan. The movie was shot mostly in India, though they haven’t shown very much of any place …

I had never heard of the British TV series “The Darling Buds of May” until I saw a DVD set available at our local library. Now that I have watched it, I can’t help wondering why this show is so little known; it turned out to be so good.
Based …

I was a bit skeptical when Friday the 13th the 09 version was coming out. People didn’t hear much about it. And the cast was practically unheard of, which was a worry for all the fans of the series.
This movie is not as bad as I thought it was …

This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).
The movie itself is sort of silly in the way a lot of kids movies …

I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …

Interview with a vampire is my favorite vampire movie of all time. It shows a kind of vampire that I feel has been pushed to the wayside in this generation. I think this is mainly because vampires are either made to be really disgusting monsters (like in Dracula or …
