The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) Movie
This is the third installation of the four-part series of the Twilight Saga, and it is far the most suspenseful and most action-packed yet! I had watched this movie twice in a span of 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The book is quite different from the …
Click movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …
African Cats 2011 Disneynature Movie
Disneynature. When I first heard about the addition to the Disney name, I was unsure of it. Yet after seeing African Cats which was released in 2011, I fell in love with the studio. I couldn’t wait to see the other documentaries that were made under the studio’s name. …

“Desperado” was one of those films which I had put off seeing for a very long time. Even though I did not know what it was about, I somehow felt that it might resemble too much of one of those Stephen Segal flicks I hated watching. I also was …

Highschool Musical 3 The Movie

There Will Be Blood (epic drama movie)
I’ve found it so strange that I had never heard of the 2007 movie “There Will Be Blood” until late last year. Even then I still had no idea what to expect of it because of the title. A major part of me figured that the plot might have something …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Movie The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is a marvelous piece of film making that is sure to make the viewer forget about gas prices or mortgage payments for at least 150 minutes. And with the film grossing over $150M in its first weekend, how bad is the economy anyway? …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith A Movie
Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was a really great movie. It was sexy, witty and simply smoldering. I cannot say that I am a big Brad Pitt fan but I did like this movie. I liked how both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were …

The Conjuring, horror movie
On the whole, Horror is a genre that avoids the avant-garde, particularly the films that Hollywood produces. The Conjuring is little exception to this lack or experimentation.
The film explores issues and themes pertained to countless horror films before it; the main premise being that of a family moving …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
The New Daughter movie 2009
On my rotten fruit throwing list, this one ranks pretty high, but it’s not the worst I hever ever seen.

Cleaner, thriller film

Movie Runaway Jury
I like John Cusack as an actor and I always enjoy watching Dustin Hoffman. I also enjoy watching a good acotr like Gene Hackman. There is a movie called Runaway Jury that has all three of these men in it.

Swing Hostess, a 1944 musical film, felt very much like a predecessor to Singing in the Rain to me. I thought of that almost all the way through, although it wasn’t the same story exactly.
One of the things I really liked about his movie was seeing how the …

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 …
Sing, Cowboy, Sing movie
Before this week, my exposure to Tex Ritter was just knowing that he was a singing cowboy and that he was John Ritter’s father. In fact, watching him, all I could think about was John. I saw John in Tex so much that it was almost distracting. …

Star Wars: Episode 3- Revenge of the Sith
OK, so I absolutely bashed the first two prequels in the series. And while Episode 3 does deserve some hate, it’s not near the level of hate I gave to the first two. Hayden Christiansen still can’t act and he and Natalies relationship is still one of …
Girl, Interrupted
