Some times I wonder if Hollywood has given up trying to come up with something original and just keeps rehashing the same plot in a different context.
The movie Pride is a perfect example of this.
Overall, Pride is an OK film. But, it’s the same film I’ve seen 20 times …

The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite of all Wes Anderson’s movies, and, alongside several other films, is one of my favorites overall. The script, written by Both Anderson and frequent collaborator (and star) Owen Wilson (and nominated for an Academy Award), is, in my opinion, one of the finest …

Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?

‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …

Normally, whenever a movie is a surprise hit, someone can’t wait to make a sequel to it and, more often than not, that sequel doesn’t even come close to the original.
This was the case of Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay.
The first movie, Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle …

One of my favorite movies has always been The Greatest Show on Earth, starring Charlton Heston. In fact, I believe this is Heston’s first big starring role. He plays Brad, the owner of the circus that travels the country. He has to deal with everything that …

M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …

Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …

As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …

Today, I watched one of the most wonderful animated films I have ever seen. It was a clay animated Australian film called “Max and Mary”. However, let me first begin my review by saying that it is absolutely not for children, since it contains quite a bit of mature …

“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …

I have to say, I never really understood the fuss over Andy Warhol movies. I saw the film Blood for Dracula the other night. While the movie sounded good in the description (Dracula is growing old and needs virgin blood to survive); the movie itself was actually one of …

It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …

I avoided the Chronicles of Narnia for a long time because I thought it was one of those really trippy kid flicks that would end up being either really boring or so far-fetched that I’d just grow disinterested. It turns out that this movie really is far fetched. …

I have to say this is one of my all-time favorite Ben Stiller movies. I’m not really a Stiller fan; the only movie he’s really “acted” in was the hilarious Zoolander; otherwise, he always plays the same character: neurotic, a little nerdy, uncommitted, but with a good soul. He …

This used to be one of my favorite lifetime movies that they played. I watched it a couple years ago. I really enjoyed watching it though, it kept me entertained and interested. Now that I have watched more lifetime movies it’s not one of my favorites anymore but I …

I give this movie five stars. After leaving the theater, I wiped the tears out of my eyes and headed to the nearest place I could buy the soundtrack. Don’t mistake me, this is not a sappy movie, but it does pull on your emotions. After a month of …

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 …

One of the most hyped movies of 2005, and starring a big cast with the “Rock” Dwayne Johnson and Karl urban, it was based on the very popular video game: Doom. This movie was too dark and dismal to be enjoyed. It started out well, with a good …

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 …

Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …

For those of you going through a midlife crisis (like me), you can easily identify with Eat Pray Love. It stars Julia Roberts, who after going through some difficult times, travels to Italy to eat, to India to pray, and finally to Bali to fall in love. It is …

I have so much to say about this movie, and everybody reading this review will either hate me or love me for it. I’m going to mention from the start that I did not like it at all, and most of this review will be everything that I did …

This movie was, in a word, charming. I went to this movie with a couple of my friends and I think they enjoyed it too. I haven’t seen any other movies with these actors, but I think I would. The movie was light despite the melancholy setting (right at …

John Carpenter is a filmmaker that used to be a master of the genre he worked in, but who lost all of his qualities in the 80s and only makes disasters nowadays. Prince of Darkness was made around the time when he was changing from a quality director into …
