The Adventures of Milo and Otis
The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
Chronicling the adventure of a cat and dog that are best friends but get separated from each other, the film is an hour of …
Carol (2015 Film)
I have been an avid follower of the Oscars’ race since 2013, when I was rooting for Gravity (then my favorite film of the year) to win the Best Picture (which would have been the first for a sci-fi film). And since then, I followed and watched all the films …
Carrie (2013 movie)
Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
This would be a very great and amazing watch for those of you whom are fans of Kirsten Dunst and Simon Pegg, for the movie star and feature them. I managed to watch this on a free pass and I could totally understand the plot.
Working and living in a …
Days of our lives
I have been an avid watcher of Days of our lives soap opera for many years. So it is only natural that I choose to do a review on one of my favorite daytime dramas. There are many of the original characters that have been played by the same …
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
I saw this movie a day ago because the title caught my eye when I was looking on the television guide for movies to watch. When I watched it though, I realised that the film was more than just a strange title, but it was a heartbreaking film which …
The Interview, movie
There aren’t many films that generate so much controversy as The Interview has done. Considering its premise it comes as no surprise that it would cause upset within North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is not exactly famed for having a self-deprecating sense of humour.
As is often the …

In the Name of the Father
“In the Name of the Father” is a gripping drama based on facts. It tells the story of wrongly accused Gerry Conlon and his fight for the release. Gerry was the best known member of the famous Guildford Four - a group of innocent Irishmen unjustly accused of bombings …
Kingsman: The Secret Service (action adventure spy movie)
Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of those movies that I just knew I had to see right after watching the trailer for the first time. The trailer gave me the impression that the movie would be funny, action-packed and overall exciting. When I did actually get the chance to …

13 Going On 30 (2004)
Jennifer Garner stars in this 2004 movie and I love catching it over again in DVD as well. She plays this particular woman whom has ‘airs above her’ and she is certainly someone that is going to learn her lesson the most hardest way. That’s because she will …
New Capitol Cinema
I don’t watch movies often but when I do, I prefer it to be a good experience. In all my years of stay here in Botswana I have been a few times to the movie house. I must say I am impressed with the system here. It’s probably better …
The Road to Hollywood movie
The Road to Hollywood from 1947 was a biography of sorts about the success of crooner, Bing Crosby. This was the such type of production from filmmaker Bud Pollard who had done a piece like this on Danny Kaye the year before.
Pollard serves as the host of The …
Saw 3
OMG. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE! The blood, the mind games, the twist the plot I absolutely loved this movie. Im a little squeemish yet I still loved it. The end was shocking and I cant wait to see the next movie to see what happens. It also teaches …
The In-Laws (2003)
This movie is yet another disgrace of a movie, even though it stars some very decent actors, the movie just did not live up to the hype that was created around it and once again, we have a hit and miss coming out of the studios of the fames …

“TIME AND TIME AGAIN” Movie
I have watched Time and Time Again, that many times! Starring Steve Reeve, it is the tale of a man who upon finding a way back into time, finds a true love. By true love, I mean a love he is willing to die for.
The star is whished back …
The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …
Aliens
Aliens is probably one of the movies that can scare me till this day. The monsters in this movie are pretty terrifying. I think that this movie may have been where they got the idea for the game Doom. Because this movie was very freaky. I think the music and …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie
If your a fan of the x-men series this movie may leave you entertained and a bit disappointed.
Hugh Jackman makes a great Wolverine. His character delivery is very similar to the original 3 movies. I thought his preform ace was good and right on where it needed to be. …
Bad Tidings movie
I am reviewing the movie, Bad Tidings, starring John Nettles and John Hopkins as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Dan Scott. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, Bad Tidings, viewers …
The Wrong Man dvd
Well when you see the likes of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman & Ben Kingsley starring together in a movie you’re sure it’ll be good. I have to say that the jury is still out ‘ the acting was great, the storyline was really good and even I …
Marrying the Mafia Movie
This is a really hilarious Korean romance comedy. It all started when Dae-Suh (a CEO of a respected IT firm who was educated in Seoul National University) woke up next to a stranger, Jing-Kyung. Later, it was found out that Jing-Kyung is actually a beloved daughter of a mafia …

The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I Movie
I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books, and that is why I always look forward to the movies as well. Although I definitely like all the books better than the movies as there are a lot of details that the movies miss, I really do …
Death Sentence
I recently watched this movie with my best friend. AND I LOVED IT!. There was so much, raw emotion in this movie. Kevin Bacon did an awsome job. If you like happy endings this movie isnt for you. I think thats why I loved it so much, It was …
The Gingerdead Man movie
First off, the fact that the star of this movie is Gary Busey should tip you off as to what kind of a movie it’s going to be. If that doesn’t, then the fact that he plays a talking homicidal cookie should. After being executed for a murder spree/ …
Bayaning 3rd World
I have seen in a film viewing a movie whose attempt is to fully make its viewer understand not only the life and works of Rizal, a Philippine National Hero, but also to people who watches the movie how difficult it was to make a movie out of a …
Pretty Woman
I am reviewing the movie, Pretty Woman, starring Richard Geere and Julia Roberts. This is a love story. It is a chick flick. Men beware. Women rejoice. Rich Richard Geere’s character is in the need of company one evening, so he decides to go along and pick …
The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
Song of the Gringo movie
Song of the Gringo from 1936 is actually Tex Ritter’s first movie role. He does a decent job as he enters the rank of the singing cowboy, which ruled the era in many ways. Being his first picture, he doesn’t have a sidekick and poor White Flash, …
Face Off (1997)
I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …
Richard Scarry Videos
My little cousin loves watching Richard Scarry Videos so much, that I tend to buy him 1 or 2 videos whenever I see one. These videos are very educational, and they have songs and themes as well.
For instance, I love watching with my little cousin the ones where …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This movie is set in the fifties. The ending is really surprising although the rest of the movie follows along just as you would expect you to. I thought the predictability of the movie was a real drag. It’s like I could have written the script …
Slumdog Millionaire
I have always loved watching indie films and Slumdog Millionaire has made it to my list of favorite movies. The story revolves around Jamal Malik, a waiter cum assistant in a call center in Mumbai, India who joins a localized version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”. Malik …

Life Is Beautiful movie

Enron
If you are like me, the story of Enron and its executives were just little snipets of information you heard on the evening news. Yes, someplace out in Texas many people were losing their jobs, but it didn’t touch me personally, so why should I pay attention?
However, after …
