Focus - Romantic Comedy Movie (2015)
‘Focus’ is a romantic comedy with lots of twists and turns that make the movie enjoyable to watch. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this movie at times plays out like an action film or thriller and definitely had my attention throughout. The screenplay could’ve been executed a little better …

Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …

The Adventures of Robin Hood DVD

Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
Alien vs. Predator
The anticipated meeting of two of movie’s greatest monsters is finally realized, but unfortunately fails to deliver beyond an initial, fleeting novelty.
There’s some thought put into it; an original Antarctic setting is visually impressive and the back story trying to tie these movie monsters into ancient history is …

Dillagi released in 1999. It is directed the Sunny Deol. Sunny Deol although being a professional actor has done the job of directing pretty well in this film. The lead roles are played by Sunny Deol himself, Sunny Deols brother Bobby Deol and Urmila Matondkar. The story is based …

Sideways (R, 2004) movie

“Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox” movie
I have been enjoying the DC Animated movies. Granted, there are still a few that I need to see, but I’ve enjoyed a vast majority of them quite a bit. I hadn’t read the comic story that this entry was based on, and while I wouldn’t say …

Saw IV movie
I wasn’t a big fan of the Saw movies when they first came out but they eventually grew on me. However, after watching Saw IV, I have to say it’s time to bring the franchise to an end.
Jigsaw dies in Saw III, along with his accomplice so you would …
Shame (movie)
Ever since I’ve discovered his movies, the actor Michael Fassebender has become not one of my favourite, but one of the actors who I’ve found to be most interesting. I believe that this especially stemmed from when I saw him in X-Men Origns as a young Magneto. I was …

Jack and the Beanstalk movie
I had been a while since I’ve watched the Abbott and Costello movie “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Since I wanted to introduce my daughter to it, I figured I would watch it with her last night.
It was even better than I thought it would be.
Even when compared to movies …
Open Season
When I finally got around to watching the movie Open Season this past weekend, I figured it would be a lot like the other animated movies I’ve watched recently. I was right. But, it was still entertaining.
The movie, which centers around a bear who was raised by humans but …
Brown Sugar movie
Backwhen I was still in high school, the movie “Brown Sugar” seemed ot be a big thing amongst some of my peers. At the time I didn’t know what many people where talking about either since I neither heard about it nor saw it advertise. Poeple were even talking …

A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
Tornatore is known by many as the director behind critically acclaimed Cinema Paradiso, a film which in my opinion is very overrated and relies only on sentimentality.
This is …

Orgazmo

The movie, about a Mormon, Joe Young, who is …
Bloodsport movie
I’m not a hugh Jean-Claude Van Damme fan so when I watched this movie, I was already thinking I wasn’t going to be impressed by it. I was right.
