My Bloody Valentine
Have you guys watched the 3D movie, My Bloody Valentine? I was so scared out of my mind watching this and since it is on 3D, it makes it all the more scarier especially when the psychotic killer throws the axe at the victims.
You feel like you …
Josie and the Pussy Cats (2001)
This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my most favorite musicals. I love the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber (I think he’s a genius). I especially love ‘The Music of the Night’. That’s why when I heard that it was going to be made into a movie, I …

Wreck It Ralph Movie
Disney pretty much nailed it with this movie in every way possible. I can safely say it does not target a specific audience but rather promotes interest in all age ranges. It is rated PG and I can understand why by I urge you not to deter …
Pursuit of happiness
Pursuit of Happiness starring Will Smith is the best movie I had ever seen in terms of potraying the real life situation. The struggle to existence and the survival of the fittest theory has been explained beautifully in the movie. Will smith acts as a ordinary sales person although …
Get Hard - Comedy Movie (2015)
Get Hard is a comedy movie starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell. Despite all the negative reviews I’d heard about the movie I decided to watch it. While I wasn’t impressed with the plot of the movie, I found myself not taking the movie seriously and laughing at the jokes …

I have been a fan of Walt Disney. It fascinates me to imagine and dream about fantasy. I grabbed a copy of Bedtime Stories and i eagerly played it on my dvd.

Hills Have Eyes 2, The (2007)
The Hills Have Eyes is a sequel to the first. I felt the first was a pretty good movie, and I felt the same about this one, because it continued the storyline from the first, explaining the reason for the mutants attacks on everyone.
These “mutants” have been a victim …
Date Night (2010)
Tina Fey and Steve Carrell team up together in a very funny, smart movie. Date Night is a great comedy film, well executed with lots of clever lines and comical scenes. There were a few surprises, too, as the movie wound in a different direction that I …
Pulp Fiction (1994)
There is no other movie like Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” It is definitely at the top of my favorites list. This movie is chocked full of best talent that Hollywood has to offer. With big names like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman and …
The Ultimate Gift Movie Starring Jason Fuller
Recently, my interest in horror movies has weaned a bit and I have had a shift towards inspirational movies that have a financial quest inclination to them, with the most recent delight being a movie called ‘The Ultimate Gift’, starring Drew Fuller.
From the very first moment I was completely …

Prescription: Murder movie
Prescription: Murder was the movie that spawned the iconic Columbo TV series. The movie starred the dapper Gene Barry in the murderer’s role. That was one thing that was special about the Columbo series. It was always a game of cat and mouse. The mystery …
Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …

Do you have so many toys that you do not know what to do with them when the time comes that you don’t want them anymore? Well, if you could watch this one great movie called Toy Story 3, you’ll have an idea what you could do with your …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
Momma Mia
The other day I went and saw Momma Mia in the theatre with one of my friends. It was a fun time. There were several actors in the play with whom I was already familiar, but their roles were very unexpected.
On paper, the movie doesn’t seem very good …
Fever Lake (1996) movie
Fever Lake is a horror movie that stars Corey Haim, Bo Hopkins and Mario Lopez. It’s what most people refer to as a ’slasher’ or ‘killer thriller’. Normally I prefer scary animal movies, but I decided to watch this one as I found it on the shelf of my …
Janie Jones movie
I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …

Croc is a thrilling horror movie about a large, twenty-foot long killer salt-water crocodile in Thailand. I just finished watching it not long ago and it was very good. The acting was decent and the plot kept moving along at a fast pace. There were several scary moments throughout …

I have been waiting for Disney DVD to bring us Gargoyles for a long time! As much as I enjoyed Season 1, I was really looking forward to Season 2 because, plot-wise, that is when the series really hit its stride.

When i first sat down to watch Amelie I was skeptical. I did a study abroad in FRance so I understand French, but watching a two hour movie in French could get tiresome. I really enjoyed this film. The story is about a girl, Amelie and her quest to …
Hoodwinked Anne Hathaway & Glenn Close
Who ever thought the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” could ever be so complexed. This movie was so intensely funny. Just when you thought you had it figured it out, it took another turn. I enjoyed it so much and laughed constantly. I like a complex story. I …
Anger Management (movie)

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are two of Hollywood’s finest. They are great performers who gave the world decades of wonderful performances. One of those performances was in the legendary The Odd Couple. After that, they often worked together, and each movie was a gem. This …
Stolen Life (2005)
If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …
The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …

Darkness (horror movie)
