Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime
Vampire Knight: Guilty is the second season of the anime based on the manga, Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino which is my favorite vampire anime, mainly because it is a shoujo, but still serious at the same time. The image on this DVD cover is of Ichiru and …
The Contender
I’ll just start with the part I didn’t like. I didn’t like the speech at the end by the President as played by Jeff Bridges. I had liked his character up until then but something about the way it was written seemed obvious to me somehow. Maybe in this …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie
I ended up picking up the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for my daughter. When I did, I figured I would have to suffer through the movie with her and then would put her to bed and find something better to watch later.
It turns out it was …

The Jackal movie
The interesting thing about the movie “The Jackal” is that you end up liking both Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. Even though Willis interprets an evil character in this movie, you can’t help liking him for his great acting skills. I must also say that Gere has been equally …

Dishonored Lady movie

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
I went to see this film opening night, and of course, the theater was packed with people dressed in wizard costumes with scars on their foreheads. Just like other avid readers of the Harry Potter books, I had been very critical of the previous films and came in with …

‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ movie
Star Wars movies that take place before “A New Hope” don’t have the best track record. When Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, however, they decided to take another crack at it.
Was this a way to milk the cash cow beyond just doing another trilogy? Yeah, …

Movie Spoilers
I had went to see the movie “Cloverfield” just yesterday. I had read spectacular reviews and the movie has been hyped on the internet for quite some time now. The trailers seemed particularly interesting.
My only worry of this movie would be that it would be highly similar to …
Todd Sweeny
Remember Rick Morranis in Little Shop of Horrors? Well take a twisted theme, subtract the alien plant, and add a pyschodic barbor and you’ve got Tim Burton’s Todd Sweeny. The movie was a bit fruity with it being a complete musical, but the plot is there. Tim Burton must …

Cold Souls Movie
Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …
The Forth Kind film
I went to see this film with a bunch of my friends. We had seen the advert and thought it looked quite good.
The film is based on true events which takes it to a scarier level. The majority of the film is re-enacted however it shows a lot …
Lars and the Real Girl Movie (2007)
After watching Lars and the Real Girl I am proven once more that you cannot judge a movie by its plot description. When I read that the movie is about a lonely man who develops a deep and romantic relationship with a doll he orders only, my reaction …
City Of Bones Movie
I finally found some time to watch “City of Bones.” The film, which the fans of Cassandra Clare waited so impatiently. The plot of the movie follows the plot of the book as the director has successfully emphasized the key points of the story. Indicative of this is particularly …

Push movie
“Push” is a movie about people with powers. It’s set in a world where many people have powers that an secret agency has classified under terms like “pusher”, “reader,” “mover” and “eraser”. I was curious about this movie, even more so since it’s the first non-serious movie I’ve seen …

Casino Royale
I was very skeptical about watching Casino Royale for I was never interested in any of the previous James Bond movies. I figured they are very predictable, where the hero beats everyone up, always winning and ends up with the beautiful girl. I’m so glad I gave Casino Royale …
A Home Of Our Own (movie)

Interview with the vampire
I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.

I thought they captured the darkness of her books wonderfully. They managed …
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 …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife is probably going to be liked more by women than by men. I thought it was okay but was hard to follow. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not spent theater prices to see it and should have just waited until it …
Rent (the movie)
I loved this musical. It was modern, fun, dramatic, realist, sad, and humerous all at once. I cried at certain parts but even the sad parts were incredible. The actors did an amazing job in recreating the play that usually shows on Broadway. Their voice …
Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.
