This is a really great movie and i gotta be honest i thought that it was going to suck big time, but to my surprise it had some amazing special effects, the story was very linear and the acting and editing was quite good. It had some bits with …

“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …

Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?
Warning: You may want to take an aspirin before reading this review.
In 1970, Independent International Films had a hit with Satan’s Sadist, a biker gang movie, and the following year a sequel (Satan’s Blood Freaks) was put into …

I am reviewing the Walt Disney movie, The Incredibles. This is one of Disney’s newest films. So there are these super heroes. They save the world day after day. They are called Incredibles. They are a sub species of their own, kind of like the X Men. …

How many times have we heard the phrase at the 11th hour? Quite often I bet and now that phrase will haunt those who are fans of good cinema. At the 11th hour the Criterion version of Ran was scrapped due to Lionsgate and StudioCanal. Criterion had to forfeit …

And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …

For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …

The movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding stars Nia Vardalos and John Corbett. The movie was filmed in 2002 and is a charming adventure about Tula, a Greek woman who wants to marry but believes she is not pretty enough. Nia Vardalos plays Tula and she is wonderful in …

Well the movie Twilight was…”ok”. The acting was decent and the story was intersting, however, not everyone will like it. I enjoyed watching it, but thought some parts were rather silly. It is very much a romance movie and a chick flick. Though it does have a few action …

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 …

Synopsis: Five men who were best friends in grade school reunite with their families for a fouth of July weekend after their elementary school basketball coach dies.
What I liked about this movie: I was expecting this film to have a lot of crude humor but the jokes were actually …

I absolutely hated the Drive movie, but then the next day I went back to the movie theatre and watched it again. The fact is that is that the movie made me really care about the characters and it also made me want to figure it all out- and …

It is one of the funniest and cutest movie I ever saw. It is a story about a little child, who hardly can stand up, and how he discovers the city, and how he makes the three men’s life miserable, who kidnapped him. The story starts by showing that …

This was a film that was a big disappointment for many when it came out, but has been revalued among certain people and is considered as the funniest film of the whole 1990s by some of my friends. The story is that of a cable guy played by Jim …

Taare Zameen Par is perhaps the greatest bollywood movie that I have ever watched. It is a movie about a little boy, Ishaan, who is dyslexic, but his parents fail to realise this. As the story progresses you cannot help but laugh at all of the mischief …

This is one of the best comedies shows that I have seen. I started laughing from the first minutes of the show until the last minutes. I bought some DVD about this show, and I watched many times and I still laugh every time I watch. It was a …

The story is average, a tale of a wealthy family with a black sheep who gets into gambling over his head. Then to get access to money to save his neck, the black sheep chops off the head of the family patriarch. This brings out Lieutenant Columbo …

I saw “Happy Feet” earlier this year after seeing commercial’s for it on TV. I had been told that it was just going to be a cartoon version of another penguin documentary. However, this was not at all the case! I really, really enjoyed watching the …

Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …

What do you do when you are stuck in a rut in your daily job, and your boss isn’t helping your bored situation and you keep coming late and making your boss angry? Either you resign, or in some situation you get the sack. But what if it …

I was in the mood for a good zombie movie this past weekend. Well, to be more accurate, I was in the mood for any zombie movie since I know finding a good one is kind of hard.
A few weeks ago, I had recorded the film Return of the …

I was really surprised by this film. In watching the previews, I was a bit surprised that the film was as decent as it was. This is because the previews were really wack. The movies advertised were so below par, that I thought I …

I watched this movie because I like David Boreanaz and have enjoyed watching him in the tv shows Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He is a fine actor who seems to only be able to do drama and horror but he does a good job. Anyone …

I saw trailer of the fifth part of Harry Potter on HBO, very impressive and attractive. But I watched it and it was disappointed. Everything happened so fast. If you didn’t read the novel Harry Potter and The order of the Pheonix before watching the film, you can not …

Today (30/08/13) I had went to watch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my best-friend at Hoyts Cinema, NZ. And boy was I glad I had paid $17 of my allowance to watch it! :D
The Movie in my opinion was a great watch. The characters they had to …

When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …

As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …

This is a 1999 animated comedy film, basically it is a longer version of the 30 minute cartoon on comedy central. The movie is about how Sadam Hussein and Satan work together to try and rule the earth, one of the main differences from this movie and the TV …

My wife and I were flipping channels the other day trying to find something that wasn’t a re-run we’ve seen 100 times before. After a frustrating search, we decided to watch the made-for-tv movie Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal, which is apparently based on a true story we never …

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …

I am reviewing The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

Back when I was in high school, Literature class was one of my favourite subjects because we had a teacher who made all of the topics that we covered very interesting, especially when she made references to other books and movies. One of the books that I remember her …

Renting movies used to be such a hassle. You had to go to the store, hope they had what you were looking for, pay like 5 bucks a movie, and then get fees for being late or not rewinding the tape (there’s an antiquated reference if ever there …

Not only is breaking up hard to do, but it’s hard to make a movie about something so intricately complicated as the ending of love. And yet, oftentimes the ending of a relationship doesn’t mean the ending of love. Seen in this movie is such an ending. The relationship …

A direct cause and effect product of my personal favorite film of all times Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven takes us where history of the Middle Ages has always talked about-the Crusades. It is a film that inspired me for the heroic part of that time’s history.
…

I think the movie Beerfest was apparently trying somehow to fit into that genre of comedy which focuses mostly on sex, drinking, goofy situations and having fun but still manages to be hilarious. However, I think in this respect Beerfest failed miserably. It was one of the worst excuses …

Avatar, Avatar, Avatar—¦. This movie has had an immeasurable amount of hype. The amount of hype backing this movie before release was absolutely insane. There were so many people excited for this movie and the trailers made it seem like this movie was going to blow our minds and …

I was expecting big things when I rented The Hangover on DVD; I expected, given the trailers and my friends’ views, that I would be laughing uproariously the entire time. However, although there were some funny and witty moments, I was disappointed. It had good moments, when I did …

Hayao Miyazaki’s latest anime film is another supernatural story about a young girl who is put under a spell by an evil witch. She has to figure out for herself how to break the spell and meets the strange man named Howl and his magic castle.
The film is amazingly …

We each have our favorite cult classic. But, there is one for me that stands as the best one. Nothing for me can match its style or zaniness, be it Buckaroo Banzai or Toxic Avenger. The blending of 80’s new wave with the vintage styles of …

Honestly, I wasn’t very interested in seeing a “Hot Tub Time Machine” sequel almost as much as I wasn’t interested in seeing a Paul Blart Mall Cop sequel. However, a friend of mine claimed that he found it very entertaining and funny. I guess that would be the last time …

I just love The Matrix movie. I watched it five times on the big screen. I love special effects and just from the looks of the movie trailer alone, I could already tell that I was going to love this film. True enough, I got hooked …

My husband and I watch this movie Taken last Sunday. Liam Neeson plays the role of a retired government secret agent, Brian Mills who loves his one and only daughter Kim, played by Maggie Grace. He is a lonely man, he lives all by himself. He’s divorced …

My family and I went to see Over The Hedge and we found it to be a good movie. It does seem like this year that all the movies in the theaters for kids have been about animals, Chicken Little, Madagascar, The Wild, and now Over The Hedge. I …

Iron Man blew the box office away in 2008. Now, two years later, Iron Man 2 has done it again with Robert Downey Jr.’s extravagant performance as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …
