The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …
Rambo, First Blood Part 2
Whenever there’s a classic film, it’s usually hard to come up with a sequel that’s actually better. Rambo, First Blood Part 2 is one of those exceptions.
Taking place several months after the original, the movie shows Rambo being sent into Vietnam to look for prisoners of war. Once again …
Envy (movie)
“Envy” was one of those movies that I discovered bombed at the box office when it was released, but when I watched it, I couldn’t understand why. I’ve seen infinitely worse comedies and movies with much better ratings even though I thought that this one had a better plot …
This is the End 2013 (Movie)
With very famous and some of my favourite actresses like Emma Watson featuring in the movie This is the End, I was very excited to watch the movie. I like her acting from the Harry Potter series, which is my all time favourite series since I was a kid. …
Jonah, A VeggieTales Movie
Everytime I take a few minutes to watch a Veggie Tale movie with my daughter, I become more and more impressed with the series and want to go out and buy more for her.
Jonah, A VeggieTales Movie is a great example of this. Apparently, this is the first full-length …
Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …
Armageddon movie (1998)
First, and foremost, Bruce Willis. Need I say more. I have yet to see a film where Bruce Willis was not playing a part written for him or a part that he did not do justice to with his own …
Alpha Dog Movie
When I watched the trailer for this film, I wasn’t impressed. Just another teen flick with young girls in bikini’s and young boys doing drugs Even though that was in the film, it wasn’t as prominent a part as you would think
The film is about a young …
The Aviator Movie
A movie based on the life of Howard Hughes and all the trials he beared in his lifetime. From the Actresses to the Hearings of his mis-use of government funds and his compulsive tendencies. Leonardo DiCarprio portrays a great Howard Hughes…a well done performance. This movie is not a …
The Secret Life of Bees
The movie had a power house cast. It includes Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo, Alicia Keys and Dakota Fanning. Set in the late 1964, the story recalls ethnical atrocities and family disorientation.
The story basically centers on the misery of Lily Owens ( Dakota Fanning ) who is …

Movie-Chocolat
This film powerfully demonstrates how humans should never repress themselves. The protagonist courageously braves all criticisms and alienation to introduce to this rigid town, that one can act on human desire.
The town, despite its extremeness in following unwritten rules, exemplifies a lot of our societies. The protagonist, enviably shepherds …
Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
Goofy and Wilbur animated short
Walt Disney has presented many delightful cartoons over the decades. This animated short from 1939 is called Goofy and Wilbur and was the first time that Goofy was the main character and supporting Mickey Mouse or another Disney main character. The situation is that Goofy is going …
Ghost Hunters Season 2 Part 1 DVD set
I bought the Ghost Hunters Season 2 Part 1 DVD set from Target and after watching it I had to go online and look because I thought I should return it. The set looks really cheaply made and the transfer to DVD was so poor that I thought there …
Dark Crystal (DVD)
There is a lot of fanfare around this Jim Henson and Frank Oz movie, which supposedly features some fantastic looking puppets. It is one of the movies released for PSP and has been hyped a lot. Supposedly it is a great movie. After watching five minutes of it I …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …
9 To 5
At the heart of this movie is a sexist jerk of a boss, played by Dabney Coleman. The soul of the story is divided into three: Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton (her first film), and Jane Fonda. Lily is the office manager, Dolly the creepy boss’ secretary, and Jane is …
Odd Couple II
I am reviewing the movie, Odd Couple II, which was released in 1998. It stars Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. How can you not like a movie with these two in it? These two were absolute comedic geniuses, and worked best when they were together! Matthau and Lemmon …
Titanic
I watched the movie ‘Titanic’ two years ago. But memory of it still fresh in my memory. The actors are Kate Winslet and Leonardo. Their acting was good. In the movie, we see that a ship called ‘Titanic’ sails out. The people are very happy to board the ship …
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt played in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. In case you guys do not know who Casey Affleck is, he is Ben Affleck’s brother, the husband to Jennifer Garner. So yeah. This movie is quite alright but it …
Dragonball Evolution (The Movie)
Since 1980’s, I’ve always watched Japanese anime. Most of Japanese animes are really good. That’s my personal opinion though. One of the animated films that I always love watching is the Dragonball Z series. Sometime in the 90’s, there was an animated movie on this. But just this year, …
Sweet Home Alabama movie
A darling little movie that my family loves to watch (yes, even my husband likes this chick flick) is Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon is such a cute actress with such endearing talent, that she is perfect as Melanie. This may be a glorified case of you can take …
61* Movie
I just watched this DVD last night. We ordered it from Netflix since my boyfriend and his brother said it was a good movie. Surprisely, I got really into it. This is a movie based on the M&M boys. I had never really heard about them except for maybe …
Dark Man movie
When I first saw Dark Man, I thought it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. After watching it a second time, I still think it\’s good, but have a less favorable impression of it.
The best thing I like about the movie is the concept. A scientist …
Mean Girls
Mean Girls starring Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan is one of my all time favorite teen and girl movies. The movie, which I saw when I was in my college, is a really a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It is a bit different from other teen comedies or girly movies …
Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 4
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood episode 4 starts with Ed and Al returning to Central to report on what happened in Liore. Roy Mustang directs them to an alchemist specialist, Shou Tucker, whose expertise is alchemy on living things. The Elric Brothers soon discover a terrible truth about what …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
This movie is a good movie but it just didn’t have something. I think that’s what they call ‘B’ movies. But those ‘B’ movies sure are fun to watch ! I love how this kind of wedding is depicted; all of the family, the traditions, etc. I love how …
Devil in the Flesh II
A short while ago, my wife and I sat down to watch the movie Devil in the Flesh and learned it was a better movie than we expected it to be. So, we wasted no time watching the sequel to the movie; Devil in the Flesh II.
As is often …
Howard the Duck-movie
I recently watched a film called Howard the Duck. It is essentially about an alien duck named Howard that accidentally gets pulled down to earth from his home planet duck world which is inhabited by other duck like creatures. Howard eventually encounters a woman, a rock star named Beverly. …
Babylon 5: In the beginning Movie
Set ten years before the popular science fiction tv series. Here there has been a serious misunderstanding which has lead to a terrible war that threatens to extinct the whole human species.
This is an excellent addition to the tv series, and it doesn’t even require the viewer to have …
Maduranombarakkattu Movie
Kamal is the only one among the directors of Malayalam film industry who has always succeeded in working with different themes.He has proved it with his earlier hits like ‘Mazhayethum Munpe’,’Ulladakkam’,’Krishnagudiyil Oru Pranayakalathu’ etc, all of them having entirely different themes with a good number of excellent songs.His films …
Big Hero 6 - animated movie (2014)
Big Hero 6 is one of the best animated movies I’ve seen in recent times. It’s actually a movie based on the superhero team ‘Big Hero 6′ from a Marvel Comic. From start to finish this movie is hilarious; the simple humour employed is effective. Often the background scenes such …
Waking Life (R, 2002)
This movie really seemed strange when I first read about it on Netflix. But then a friend rented it and I was so excited about the animation, and how the conversations just flowed from scene to scene. I would advise most people to refrain from engaging …
God is Great, and I’m Not
God is Great and I am Not is a French movie about love and being lost in different religions. It definitely relates to the “lost souls” nowadays. I guess many young people are living on earth and not sure what they want or what to believe in, …
I am Legend movie
Frankly speaking my expectations were higher from this film of Will Smith, but this one really disappointed me. The story goes like this:
It is New York city, in 2012, completely devastated and ruined by an incurable disease three years ago, and Robert is the only one who somehow survived …
Love, Actually movie
Love, Actually, is a very strange movie to nail down and categorize. Overall, it is, of course, a romantic comedy, but it is wholly unique from other members of the genre. Instead of relying on two star crossed lovers to tell its tale, Love, Actually, features a very large …
The Runaways (movie)
I would not go as far as saying that I am a fan of the musician Joan Jett, since I still have not heard very many of her songs. However, the few I knew from her were done by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and not her first band …
Resident Evil 3: Extinction
Ok. Why does it some like most movies nowadays focus on destroying the world? Well, Resident Evil Extinction presents a barren wasteland of a world, taking place mostly in the desert and Las Vegas. Alice does mildly explain the bare bones …
Under The Tuscan Sun-Diane Lane
I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a friend’s house, and liked it enough that I bought the DVD rather than just borrowing it from my friend. I especially liked the imagery of some of the main character’s lines, as well as the idea of just up …
Up film
Up is another one of those animated films from Pixar that comes out every so often that we feel we’re too old for but end up watching anyhow. At least, that’s how I usually feel about animated films these days.
Up is about an old man, Carl Fredricksen who …
Lady and the Tramp movie
A classical tale of boy meets girl or in this case boy dog meets girl dog. Showing the early years of Lady’s life, growing up in a respectable part of town, living the blue collar life. On the other side of the fence, we see the freelance life of …
The Change Up Movie 2011
Very recently I just saw the movie The Change Up. The theme of this movie is literally switching lives and switching bodies. If you have seen the movie the Kid with Tom Hanks or Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, pretty much this is exactly the …
Idiocracy (R, 2006) movie
I had the opportunity to see this film and was at first turned off by its spoofiness. But then, by the time the main character advanced to the year 2505, I realized exactly what director Mike Judge was trying to say about our society. This politically …
Friday the 13th Uncut (1980), slasher film
Friday the 13th was not the first slasher movie, but it does get credit for a few things. The biggest seller point to Friday the 13th is the fact we never saw anything like this, at the time. To this day Friday the 13th has been able to stand …
Dragnet
When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …
When a Stranger Calls
When this movie came out I was working my braing to find out exactly why the name sounded familiar to me, and then later on I realised that the movie was based off of a previous movie which was released in the late seventies and I had watched some …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …
