Final Destination 3 (2006)
The third and hopefully the last in the trilogy known as Final Destination. This time they go too far and make the movie too predictable. Whereas in the first movie, you can understand to some extent what happened after the boy had a premonition in the form of a …
Toni Erdmann (2016 film)
2 hours and 42 minutes is a lot of time, and if I am a productive person I would be able to do so much other than just sitting in my comfortable chair watching a german-language movie called “Toni Erdmann”.
Truth be told, the first 10 minutes is a real struggle …

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
After a long time, I had the oppurtunity to watch a Shahrukh Khan Film. A romantic comedy film that sometimes brings the viewers to tears. I felt that some of the facts are so real in the world and that made me shed some tears. Good movie with …
The Last King of Scotland
I just watched the movie “The Last King of Scotland” and was delighted. I saw the previews in the theatre about a year ago and looked forward to seeing the movie. However when it came to the local cinema I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule and …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have seen some bad movies in my day, but good lord does this one take the cake. I know, it’s kind of popular to hate on Michael Bay, but he can, more often than not, deliver an entertaining popcorn flick. Heck, I enjoyed the first Transformers …
Die Hard movie
It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Die Hard” since after seeing it advertise on cable television, and hearing people, including of of my friends in particular talk about it, I thought it would be another one of those action movies with lots of action …
Movie The Sure Thing
I admit I really enjoy watching John Cusack’s movies. He manages to be great in whatever character he interprets. “The Sure Thing” represents one of his early movies so one gets to see Cusack in much younger version together with cute actress, Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Place” TV series.
“The …
The Princess and the Frog movie
I was absolutely enchanted by the opening of Disney’s 2009 production, The Princess and the Frog. The color, the animation, the music, and the transitions were terrific. We start by meeting Charlotte and Tiana and then we learn that the storyteller is Tiana’s mom. We watch …

Last Holiday
The movie “Last Holiday” (2006) helped me to see Queen Latifah in a new way. It is a good story, and she fits right into it, delivering a funny and at the same time touching performance. She plays Georgia, a middle class woman who has a list of things …

Ratatouille
Ok … this is another cute mouse movie by Disney. It’s quite alright … but I don’t think it was geared towards a wide enough audience. I thought it was so cute; the mouse cooking for the guy who wanted to be chef; and the transformation the chef made …

Finding Nemo
Pixar does it again. Besides Cars, I have LOVED every Pixar movie, Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monster’s Inc., Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Wall e,; and Finding Nemo was no exception. In my opinion, they can to no wrong. This “kids” movie is one the best movies …
4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days (2007)

Insidious Chapter 2 (Film 2013)
I decided to watch Insidious Chapter 2 after of course seeing the preview on TV one evening. Given that I had already watched the first movie, I was expecting another one to come after the ending to the first. The first insidious ended in such a way where I …
Gabriel
I’ve first known of the movie Gabriel after I saw my aunt watching it. I asked her what’s the movie she’s watching and what is it all about. Since she was not accustomed to telling tales, she answered me directly with, “The angel Gabriel of course.”
Gabriel is an Australian …

Happy Feet
I am quite a fan of all this animation movies, they always entertain me and my girlfriend, they are funny, technically splendid, they usually have a good plot, and they are almost never superficial or boring.
Well i didn’t enjoy this one at all.
The impression i had is this:
They did …

I just finished Christmas with the Kranks and it is a cute holiday movie. It stars Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and has other big stars in it like Caroline Rhea, Dan Akroyd, Felicity Huffman and Cheech Marin. The premise of the movie is that the Krank’s daughter …
“Dawn of the Dead” (2004) Film
Though it still rates as a “B movie,” Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of the 1978 Romero cult classic still rates as a smart, mostly consistent, and occasionally humorous film. I wouldn’t finger the movie as being a turning point in the zombie genre, but it’s certainly a high point, …
Paranormal Activity is a Paranormal Flop
Paranormal Activity is a low budget, indie film. Shot in 2007, it was originally shown at various film festivals before being picked up by Paramount pictures.

The first movie I watched was entitled The Secret of the …

I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …

Gravity Movie 2013
There are movie screenings after which when I get out of the cinema I feel strange for a while. As if I’m in another world. Everything is familiar, but somehow different, strange. That is a clear evidence that I’ve watched something great and insightful. I have immersed myself in …
Happy Feet (2006)
When I first watched the previews for Happy Feet, I was apalled and vowed never to watch the movie. Aside from a recent lack of creativity as far as CG movies are concerned, the concept of the movie seemed inexplicably bland. Indeed, the type of idea that someone comes …

A Dog’s Breakfast DVD
The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.
A Dog’s Breakfast is a quirky independent film, but it’s an entertaining one as well. It …
Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …

House:Fidelity
Last night was probably the third time I’ve watched the House episode Fidelity. But, I can’t help by still enjoy every moment of it.
The medical case in this episode actually isn’t anything overly impressive. A woman has all the symptoms of depression but doesn’t have that. And, her sleeping …
Big Bad Wolves (thriller movie)
I think that the theme of Vigilantism never truly loses its charm no matter how many times movies are made on the subject. This is why I was quite interested in watching the movie “Big Bad Wolves”. I’d never seen an Israeli film before and I was curious to know …
Open Water 2 : Adrift
This movie is the sequel from the Open Water 1, but I never see Open Water 1. when i watched this movie, I feel so pity if that movie is based on true story. I feel that how fool they are, gone to the sea without preparing well, and …
Hi De Ho movie
As the name might indicated, Hi De Ho is a Cab Calloway feature. The 1937 film has the famous bandleader belting out his special Hi De Ho song with a zing.
