Tropic Thunder
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 …
Hanging up movie
Hanging up is a very normal movie which has nothing unique about it. The only saving grace of the movie is Meg Ryan’s impeccable performance. She single handedly did everything and the whole movie rests on her shoulders and she did a great job in doing that job perfectly. …

Sherlock Holmes movie
From 2009, it’s Robert Downey Jr. starring in Sherlock Holmes and playing the well-known sleuth. Here are a few of my observations.
–The best thing about the movie is the music. It’s powerful and dramatic. It highlights all of the happenings very well. It makes you …
Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
Movie: The Pursuit of Happyness
“The Pursuit of Happyness” is a wonderful film, inspired by the true life story of Chris Garner, who managed to survive with his five-year-old son in early 1980s San Francisco while working his way through an unpaid six-month intership to become a stock broker.
Will Smith is spectacular as Chris, …

Tower Heist Movie (2011)
I went to see Tower Heist last night with my friend, and be both agreed that it was one of the best movies we have seen in a long time. While we expected that a movie featuring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy absolutely has to be good, we never …
Reaching for the Moon movie
Reaching for the Moon from 1930 starred Douglas Fairbanks as Larry Day, Bebe Daniels as Vivien Benton, and Edward Everett Horton as Roger, the Valet. Even so, one of the best parts of the movie was a small segment that included Bing Crosby.
Crosby played himself and only sang one …

Around the World in 80 Days
I can’t remember whether or not I was actually interested in this movie when it was advertising to be released in theatres. I remember thinking about it as “the new Jackie Chan movie” and expected that there would be a lot of action and martial arts involved. It didn’t …

X-Men Origins Wolverine

Pride and Prejudice, 1995
Pride and Prejudice, 1995, the mini-series, is my favorite adaptation of the Jane Austen’s classic novel. The movie is so well-done, I could go on for hours describing its merits. The script, casting, acting, costumes, music - everything is just excellent. Colin Firth makes a perfect Mr. Darcy, serious …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …
Arachnaphobia film
If you are looking for a film that will be sure to give you a creepy crawly feeling, be sure to rent Arachnaphobia.

Starring Jeff Daniels, …
How to lose a guy in 10 days
How to lose a guy in 10 days is a nice romantic movie and is one of the best romantic movies of this decade. Matthew McConaughey played the central characters in this movie and they are adorable as a pair. Andie (played by Kate Hudson) is a journalist for …

A Cinderella Story
A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …
Alien Vs. Predator Requiem (AVPR)
I saw this movie today and found it to be a great movie. The script is rather lame though. For example, the whole towns power goes out and a lady goes to look for her friend and she says “Hello? The powers out.”, and when a guy says to …

Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …

Would You Rather, Movie
As I was browsing through thriller movies in IMDB, what caught my eye from a particular list was the title of this movie. I also saw the list of cast which included my favorites: Brittany Snow, John Heard, and Enver Gjokaj. I was aware of the game in real …
James Bond - Casino Royale
This movie is quite different from all the previous 007 movies starting from Sean Connery as James Bonds. First I have to point out that the opening introductory song is also different. From all the previous ones, when the music started, there were usually profiles of women dancing all …

Thor (movie 2011)
Thor…Thor…Thor…
If you’ve never heard or read about norse mythology then this name might mean nothing to you. Apparently, I have a little background so I know who Thor is. Thor is the
God of thunder (that’s the only thing that I could remember though), in the movie he also …

The Uninvited - Suspense thriller
Expectations were a lot from ‘The Uninvited’ but it was all gone after seeing the movie. The trailers shown on TV were too promising. You cannot say that it is a horror movie except for some creepy scenes when Anna, played by Emily Browning, is been visited by the …
Hulk vs. Wolverine (2009)
This is a classic battle that has managed to cross over from the pages of the comic books and finally on to DVD. The battle between mighty powers created by Marvel and the universe that they have created. In this animated movie, you get to decide who will emerge …

The Notebook is a wonderful love story. This movie is a great movie if you are ready to cry. Also it lets you see more in depth the actually things that a person dealing with alzheimer’s disease really goes through and the heart ache that the family of the …
American Beauty
I think American Beauty is a very strong movie with lots of issues involved that are perhaps much closer to home than we can ever imagine. When I first watched this movie on the cinema, I thought that it is something like a Desperate Housewives setting TV drama with …
2 Fast 2 Furious
This movie is the sequel from previous movie, the Fast and the Furious. It’s still always about racing car involved catching the bad guy.
In this movie, Brian (Paul Walker) is no longer become police because in the Fast and the Furious movie, he let Dom go, that’s why he …
The Money Pit
Movies like this make me shake my head and wonder, ‘What were they thinking??’ I am not alone in this, as I see, in regards to this particular movie: I saw ‘The Money Pit’ listed among 10 worse movies done in the 1980s in one online article. I had …

Iron Man 3 (movie)

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

2001: A Space Odyssey movie
Whenever I read reviews about this Stanley Kubiak film, I keep hearing about how it’s a classic and how it changed the movie industry.
Personally, whenever I see this movie, I find it extremely dull and confusing. The music in the background is enough to lull you to sleep and …
Movie: “Stephen King’s It” (1990)
Having read the book multiple times, I was horribly disappointed with the two-part miniseries “It”, aired in 1990 on ABC. There was so much left out; I can’t believe Mr. King even allowed it to be produced.
The plot of the mini-series only loosely follows the plot of the original …
