Saw V (2008) movie
Saw V is the latest instillation in the Saw’s series not much really too great to say about it except that it does keep the story going. The series itself has kind of fallen out for me but the movies have become a staple of the horror movie genre …
Movie Monsters Inc
Pixar’s 2001 release, Monsters Inc., is probably my least favorite Pixar movie ever released. For some reason, I cannot forget that Billy Crystal and John Goodman are the voice actors in this movie. Its difficult to explain, but Tom Hanks becomes Woody, and Owen Wilson becomes Lightning …
Wi-heom-han gyan-gye (Dangerous Liaisons) movie
By and large, in Asian cinema, you can attempt to make a dramatic romance by either appealing to a localized sense of humour than might make it seem more uplifting, or you can pursue an angle popularized by Wong Kar Wai and heighten the drama using boiling stifled passion …
Hidden Figures (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
Movies that emit contagious amount of goodness are rare these days, but this new Theodore Melfi-directed film is such a treat to the senses. It’s no denying that I applauded so many times in the duration of this movie.
Hidden Figures is about the untold true story of three black …

There was a period in the history of health care prior to the 1996 discovery of a better drug to fight AIDS wherein matters did not look at all promising or favorable for the person who contracted the disease. At that time: there seemed to be nothing …
Drag me to Hell Movie
Prior for me watching the film I have heard a lot of good deeds about this horrific supernatural movie “Drag Me to Hell” from my office mates and from the news paper. I have not given a chance to watch it earlier but when I did I can’t …

This is a great episode and was very enlightening for Juliet’s character. I …
Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
Batman Begins Movie
This was Cillian Murphy’s breakout movie as Jonathan Crane a.k.a The Scarecrow and I think he did an amazing job here. He could do drama as well as action and he’s a newly-talented and famous actor for doing and completing this movie alone! Christian Bale portrayed Batman in this …
Asterix and the Olympics
First, I can’t remember the first Asterix movie I watched, but I remember it was very funny. I’m disappointed by this one though, more details later. If you’ve read their comics, then you know that Asterix and Obelix are a lovable character from the Gaul village in …
Movie Public Enemies
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, and also love historically-based movies. I looked forward to seeing Public Enemies, a movie starring Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard (another of my favourite actresses), because I had read a lot about John Dillinger, the famous bank robber during the Depression years. …
Requiem for a Dream
Whoever told you that this movie is a wacky comedy, they lied.
It has its amusing moments, mostly the hallucinations of Harry’s mother, but this is a dark and pretty depressing movie.
It could’ve so easily fallen into the hackneyed hammering in of the idea that “drugs are bad …
Ace Ventura When Nature Calls
This is the second and final Ace Ventura movie, in the movie. The film opens with a parody of the film Cliffhanger, where Ace is holding on to a raccoon’s paw, and his glove is slipping, he fails to save the animal and this drives Ace to become a …

Quantum of Solace
Some says this is the best movie of the most famous secret agent 007, named James Bond. I also read from a local newspaper that Prince Charles of England watched this movie when launched at the first time. But, honestly speaking to me, this is one of the worst …

Ghost of the Abyss
What type of movie/documentary is this! It was more like watching a selfish rich man and his friends having fun playing around a classic old ship. I loved the Titanic and studied it from 5th grade on. For this film to come in and mock all the scientist like …
Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …

This movie features the top most favorite actor and actress in my list, Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, and they are a natural when it came to making this movie and they are just really superb actors and actresses that this movie didn’t even make me feel as …
Paul - Unrated (2011) - Movie
Oh, how I wanted to like this movie! It’s got an impressive cast, including Simon Pegg, Kristin Wiig, Jane Lynch, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, even a cameo by Steven Spielberg! Casting Seth Rogen as the wise-cracking alien wasn’t my problem though. I felt that this was …

Netflix Movie Rental
Blockbuster was always my way of getting movies. I don’t buy movies as I do not see the point. I am only going to watch the movie once. Blockbuster was really useful. I go in their store, look for the movie I want, pay, and return it once I …
Zabriskie Point movie
Michelangelo Antonioni’s film about the desolated american youth and the influence of narcotica. A couple of rebellious young people escape from the big city out to the desert and runs around there for a while. Meanwhile they are suspected for criminal activities and chased by the police. That is …
Movie Inglourious Basterds
After the underwhelming Kill Bill Vol. 2 and the shockingly poor Deathproof I had begun to think that Quentin Tarantino had forgotten how to make great movies. Where was the revolutionary, wunderkind director who changed the face of modern cinema?
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction seemed to be but memories …
Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13 begins with Juliet being taken to Lord Montague and being sentenced to death. Her loyalist followers decide to break her out of jail while Lord Montague confronts Romeo about Juliet.
This episode was really good. It was suspenseful and exciting and had a few surprises …
Barney and friends CD
This is a wonderful cd where Barney, the purple dinosour and his friend, baby Bop and BJ teaches little children on how to play safe. They share lessons with the kids about safety rules for playgrounds and parks, while still having fun. Also in this CD the pretend …
Cinderella Man
This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …
Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
It was an exhausting movie, with action everywhere, and debris flying all over the place. I am not a big transformers fan (probably because I am a girl), although I appreciated the effects of this Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. I grew up watching my brothers fight over …
Sherlock Holmes (2009 Movie)
One of the most anticipated movie releases recently was Sherlock Holmes, directed by Guy Ritchie, produced by Joel Silver, and starring Robert Downey, Jr. as the protagonist detective and Jude Law as Holmes’ doctor assistant Watson. My friends and I went to watch it in early January, and suffice …
Bridge to Terabithia
I watched Bridge to Terabithia ready to get bored and be repulsed with the little knowledge I have about the film. Thanks to false advertising (equivalent to the preview showing the CGI effects), my impression on the film beforehand was that it was going to be another-kiddy-fantasy knock-off.
Still, I …
Deja Vu (2006)

Armageddon Sci Fi Action Disaster Movie
Armageddon is a very chaotic film. Certainly the subject-matter warrants it. Suffice it to say: your brain and all of your visual senses will have a workout. In order that you have no preconceived notions about the movie: just know the best advice is: …
Return From Witch Mountain
Sequels, especially Disney sequels, rarely make it, and this one is no exception. Even casting greats like Bette Davis and Christopher Lee was not enough to make this film anything but blaise. This was one story that should have remained untold, leaving Escape To Witch Mountain to stand on …
Farce Of The Penguins
Well here is another Penguin movie my daughter rented last night,but this one is an adult movie. “The Farce Of The Penguins” was mad funny. We laughed our butts off. Well of course Bob Saget was in it, as well as Christina Applegate, Lewis Black, Mo’nique, Tracy Morgan. The …
Netflix Online Mail-Order Movie Rental Service
This is a very disappointing and much over-hyped service for many reasons, but it has a few slightly redeeming factors.
When I first used my free trial membership, the movies arrived in a flash. Sometimes literally 1 day later. The turn around was nearly as fast, and I …

Caddyshack 2 Movie
While I am not one of the biggest fans of golf, I love Caddyshack 2. And believe me, it’s not for the golf. It’s for the comedy. While I have seen the first Caddyshack, I saw the second movie first and I always seem to rotate back to the …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
