The Illusionist
The best thing this movie had going for it was the cast. Top rated actors putting on exceptionally fine performances kept this movie from being confused with its contemporary counterpart. The Prestige. Edward Norton always does well, no matter what role he plays. He is what I call an …
The Other Boleyn Girl on DVD
I just watched The Other Boleyn Girl movie on DVD lately as I failed to catch this on theaters when it was shown here in our place. Well, it was having a good audio on DVD and the whole scenes were good to view as there were no interruption.

As Good As It Gets movie
This movie, starring Jack Nicholson as an obsessive compulsive romance novelist who is a bit of a people hater and Helen Hunt as a struglling waitress with an ill son, is very cute.
That’s really the only way I can describe it. There is a cute dog, a gay artist …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Resident Evil: Extinction
I have already watched the first two parts of Milla Jovovich’s movie, Resident Evil. All three are really good and has it’s own new story to tell. The three has different settings.

The Father of the Bride
Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …

Bridget Jones’ Diary movie
One of the movies I hesitated to watch for a very long time was a movie called “Bridget Jones’ Diary”. This was because I usually hate romance films and I heard that the movie was a romance movie. It also starred the actress Renee Zellweger as the lead and …
Pride
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 …

Twilight Movie
I rented the Twilight movie finally yesterday to watch it and see what all the hype was about. I have read the book so I knew the plot line already. I was mostly watching to see how they took the story to the big screen.
The first thing …

I watched “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’d End” which is the third in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.
The movie opens with Elizabeth Swann ( Kierra Knightly) and Will Turner ( Orlando Bloom) must rescue Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones Locker.
This is successful when they go …

Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …
Titanic movie
What can I say about the second highest grossing movie in the world? A lot, I guess. First, I have seen it at least twenty different times, ten of which was from the big screen. I guess I was one of those moviegoers who contributed to …
Jurassic Park
I saw this movie as a kid and since then have seen it many times with equal interest every time. It is one of the most brilliantly animated movies I have ever seen. The 3D graphics make each and every Dinosaur spring to life on the screen, and …

A Beautiful Life Truly Beautiful
If anything, “Life is Beautiful” was the first movie that made me cry. I had watched “Schindler’s List” and other such movies about the Holocaust before, but I never had had the experience of watching such a heartwrenching movie, ever. The undying love of a father for his young …

The Ides of March Movie
After watching the Ides of March I have found it to be entertaining, gripping, smart movie. The cast of the movies is the top of the line, you couldn’t wish for better actors to work on it. The strongest feature of the movie is in the unique characters in …
The Day After Tomorrow
There have been many, many movies from Hollywood which have told us exactly how we’ll die off as a human race. None took so much meaning for the time as The Day After Tomorrow. It showed what effects the weather would have on our climate. We tend to think …

Movie The Vengeance of the Mummy (1973)
A totally demented Paul Naschy film that, to my knowledge, was the last of the shambling, old school style mummy movies featuring a rampaging, bandaged monster.
Paul plays the role of the Mummy as well as the Mummy’s evil assistant and he does so to the hilt. A very violent …
Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …

Little Buddha movie
A film by Bernardo Bertolucci who is mostly known for his giant epic Novecento. This is one of his latest films and tells the story of Siddaharta who goes through a spiritual journey to finally become Buddha. It seems to me Bertolucci isn’t any longer the talented filmmaker he …
Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)
P.S. I Love You (2007) is pure bliss. I love watching this DVD each time pretty much. I love looking at the way Hillary Swank acts and she always has this rapport with the camera.
I think the camera really loves her, truly. Holly Kennedy is …
Last Vegas (2013 Film)
Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …

27 Dresses Movie
27 Dresses is one of those cute and fluffy movies that you can watch one and then instantly forget about it. It’s not that the movie is necessarily bad, but it just doesn’t make much of an impression. I’ve seen a lot of romantic comedies over the years and …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue movie
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue from 1955 was apparently filmed from a live stage show. In fact, the master of ceremonies, Willie Bryant, calls it the Harlem Variety Review at the very beginning.
Now there is some speculation that Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue should actually be 75 minutes long, but …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …
