HER, the movie (2013)
HER is one of the most interesting, innovative, and highly acclaimed films of 2013. Critics and audiences alike are passionate about this film. So what’s the reason? Initially, I thought it was solely because of the trendiness of this project, its sci-fi shell, and put the pretty picture.
But how …
Dazed and confused movie
This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …
The Guardian movie
This is a beautiful movie, and that may be a strange term to use when thinking about or describing the military. This movie focuses on the Coast Guard and a man’s sacrifice to save the lives of countless others, and the influence that he had on the people who …
Sucker Punch (2011 Film)
Sucker Punch is one of those movies that you have to watch with an open mindset. The jest of this movie, for the most part, isn’t going to come to you quickly. To the plain eye, it looks like a fantasy chick flick with vivid graphics. I can be honest …
Happy Feet
Happy Feet (2007) This movie was a charmer! I loved it as much as my grandkids. It is a happy, feel good movie. It makes you want to get up and start dancing. This is one of the best children’s movies I have seen. I could …
Swiss Army Man (2016 Fantasy Comedy Film)
Few movies try to bring something new these days. Most of the time people flock to the movie theaters to see tired and unnecessary rehashes of old films or either comic book movies that have been made to death. Everyone wants a blockbuster with big names attached to them.
Movies like …
Count Duckula cartoon

Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …
Get Smart Movie
My cousin’s family decided to have an early evening yesterday and we went to catch the movie, Get Smart, starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and some other great casts. Everyone in this movie seems to be having good potential to win an award, and I love all the …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

Black Sheep 2008 Movie
I recently saw the movie Black Sheep and I don’t mean the Chris Farley and David Spade movie from the 1990s, though I’m sure someone will see this one and get confused. This movie is actually yet another horror movie spoof, though this one was better received than a …

Autopsy: Postmortem with Dr. Michael Baden (UR, 2008)

Stargate movie

While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …

The Other Sister movie
“The Other Sister” is my favorite movie of all time. The acting in this movie couldn’t get much better.

The Road (John Hillcoat, 2010) movie
This is one of those movies that I would rate pretty highly, but can’t actually recommend. You would recommend a film by saying something like “Yeh, it’s great - go see it.” or ‘Yeh, it’s really funny” or “Yeh, it’s really romantic and sweet” etc etc.
For The Road I …

Fun with Dick and Jane movie
Yes, this movie was funny but I miss the old Jim Carrey. This is not nearly as funny as some of his prvious hits like Liar, Liar or Ace Ventura. This movie is more up to par with Bruce Almighty so it definitely has its funny parts …

Tokyo Drifter movie
This is a very innovative gangster movie from director Seijun Suzuki. Leading actor Tetsuya Watari does a brilliant job as the hero of the movie, dressed in a blue (!) suit, “Phoenix Tetsu”. Everything is beautifully shot in color, and the action sequences are excellent for a 1960s movie. …

The Town (2010 thriller movie)
