Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder movie
Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder was the second movie made with these characters. As a sleuthing private eye concept, it really wasn’t bad. I saw that because like the first movie, I didn’t have the urge to change the channel. It was an okay backdrop …
Shakespeare in love
Shakespeare in love is a movie which is really well made and which is worth watching. It is a nice drama with Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow as the leading actors. It is the story of the world’s best master storyteller William Shakespeare. Shakespeare does stage in a town …
The Aviator (2004)
I watched the movie “The Aviator” a couple years ago when I had either just graduated from high school or was still in high school. I can remember not wanting to watch it at first since I thought that it was probably going to be a little boring and …
Copying Beethoven
I actually found the movie “Copying Beethoven” by accident as I had confused it with another movie I had seen years earlier and was searching high and low for a very long time. As soon as I saw the movie begin, I realised that it was not the movie …
Ajnabi (movie), 2001
The movie Ajnabi was released in 2001. It is a thriller film. I watched this film at theater. The movie is directed by Abbas and Mustan who are famous for directing many good and original thrillers. But this one is a copy of a Hollywood film named Consenting Adults. …
Brokeback Mountain Movie
Because I was not impressed with the movie, “Brokeback Mountain,” I have to rely on the line from Seinfeld whenever I discuss this allegedly “gay cowboy” movie. So, my first order of business is to clarify that I realize that gay cowboys exist and then I am compelled …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …
30 Days of Night (R, 2007) movie
I am really really disappointed that I got so excited before this film came out. I thought, judging from the previews, that this movie was going to touch on an aspect of vampirism which had been unexplored in previous films. The concept of there being 30 days …
Columbo: Strange Bedfellows movie
Columbo: Strange Bedfellows from 1995 pits brother against brother, and it’s the younger brother who loses the contest. Teddy McVeigh keeps getting into trouble and after this most recent time, big brother Graham takes matters into his own hands. A bit of murder ends his problems, so …
Movie : XII (2008 Slasher Movie)
Oh how I love watching the occasional slasher flick. Sometimes it’s great to just sit back and not have to follow any deep story-lines and just enjoy the show, and when I watched XII the other day I certainly did enjoy the show.
There is a plot of course, …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
The Perfect Storm
I did not remember that this movie existed until I saw it being aired on a cable television channel just recently. I can remember that at the time it was release in theatres, it was advertised as one of the bigger movies and now I doubt that many people …
Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
Cujo
If you are not afraid of dogs by now you will be after watching the movie Cujo. Stephen King is the master of horror and he really does make you fear dogs and never look at them in the same way ever again. The movie is about a a killer …
Sex and the City: The Movie
I have always been a Sex and The City fan and I was anxiously waiting for this movie to be released. Honestly, the story line is not that interesting. It’s quite an ordinary plot. However, as a Sex and The City fan, it’s always the other …
Our mothers murder
This is one of my favorite movies that I have seen on lifetime. It was a very good story and a true story also. I think that they did a wonderful job making this movie. All of the actors were good in it and did an amazing job playing …
The Fourth Kind Movie
I watched “The Fourth Kind” movie in theaters soon after it was released. My companion and I hadn’t planned on seeing this movie but were intrigued by the advertisements and when we had a free evening, decided to see it.
The opening is pretty interesting the way they indicate that …
BROTHERS GRIMM DVD
If you’ve ever read a fairy tale, you’ve most certainly read or heard the tales of the brothers Grimm! This is a wonderful movie to see! It is exciting and funny and sad……….lots and lots of drama, here!
The tale starts with the younger Grimm brother having sold the family …

A stirring movie based on the intricacies of people and the way the view the world according to their own life experiences. On one side of the spectrum, you have a family that is filled with racial hate and it has stemmed for generations. Be that as it may, …
Accidental Hero
“Accidental Hero” is a great movie with a good story involving three great talented actors, Dustin Hoffman, Gena Davis and Andy Garcia. We have seen Hoffman in a lot of different characters; however I believe that there is something very special about his acting part in this movie. …

Blue Herrings movie
I am reviewing the movie, Blue Herrings, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as the mystery duo of Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Barnaby. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this movie, viewers get …
House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …
Boogie Nights movie
Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg, Bert Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, and William H. Macy.
This insight into the porno movie industry was the type of movie that you can see many times. Beneath this simple story lies many complex subplots that are hidden at …
The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …
You Can’t Run Away From It movie
I’m not sure if I’ve seen You Can’t Run Away From It before or not. It’s vaguely familiar, but not readily in my brain. Of course, it could be the basic story that rings in my head since this is a musical remake of the classic, “It …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
The Nice Guys (2016 Buddy-Comedy Film)
I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …

Fright Night movie
I first time I saw this movie was some time ago on the Syfy channel. I didn’t see it from the very very start, but when I started watching it, the movie was still in its early stages. At first I didn’t expect anything much from it, and thought …
Drop Dead Gorgeous
It has been a while since I saw the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous so I took the time to watch it this morning when it was on TV.
While not quite as funny as I remember it, it is still an entertaining film.
The movie is essentially a behind-the-scenes look at …
Rang De Basanti
Rang De Basanti is a revolutionary film made recently, and was India�s Official Entry to the Oscars. Its one of the few movies, which was both artistic and also did well commercially. In fact it was one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. The story was …
Hot Chick movie
Hot Chick is a very funny movie and I was literally in splits througout the time I was watching the movie. I have always been enjoying the movies in which Rob Schneider acts and I am a great admirer of his acting skills and comic timing. This movie is …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …

The X-Flies: I Want to Believe
I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …
Antz Disney Movie
Antz is one of Disney’s newer movies to be released on dvd. I have seen it multiple times, and it again and again impresses me. Its anamations are so impressive, and I am forever astounded at how detailed the characters’ facial gestures are, and how fluent their …
Che: Part One, starring Benicio Del Toro
I had read a few reviews of the movie “Che” starring Benicio Del Toro, and most of them complained that it was too long at over 4 hours, and that it dragged on and was not interesting enough to hold the viewers’ attention for that long. The other night I …
Case of the Jolly Hangman
I am reviewing The Case of the Jolly Hangman, 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, …
John Tucker Must Die
Before renting this movie, i had heard TONS of negative reviews. So who cares? The people who review movies in newspapers are CRAZY! Some of the best movies receive 2 or 3 stars, while absolutely atrocious movies receive 5! However, the fact that many of …
The Invisible Movie
The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …
Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .
The 70s. The phones have …
“Men who hate women” movie
Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …
Film Sherlock Holmes [2009]
Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …
Brave Heart movie
This is the fourth year when I first saw the movie ‘Brave Heart’. Since then I have seen this for innumerable times. My favorite Mel Gibson is in lead role and as usual he shows his strong caliber in this movie.
Winning some Oscars will not suffice to say all …
