Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …

Movie Messengers
I loved watching this movie, although it reminded me a little of amytville horror. It was an overall amazing movie. It’s the kind of thriller I love to watch. There were no gory parts in it and the movie was played out well, it had a good story to …
Open Water 2
This is a surprisingly good sequel. What made it good was how it diverged from the original. The main danger in Open Water was the ever present threat of shark attack. In Open Water 2, the writer and director cleverly play on the expectation …
Taken the movie
I was first attracted to watch the movie “Taken” when I learned that Liam Neeson was heading the cast: I’ve always had a high regard for his acting ability and innate charm. Adding to the attraction for me was the fact that Luc Besson, the French film director, was …

Employee of the month
This was a great movie for me. I used to work in retail. Most movies are based out of big city office complexes, and most of the average people working in shopping centers, restaurants, or some other ordinary job. So I really related to this movie. However the …
Pearl Harbor
First off, I am a BIG Jerry Bruckheimer fan and am always excited to see one of his movies. HOWEVER, not even the Jerry Bruckheimer name can save the mess of a movie that is Pearl Harbor. The first hour or so of the movie contains some …

The Babadook - Horror Movie (2014)
There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …
Arthur and the Invisibles movie
One of the things which really stuck out about the partly animated “Arthur and the Invisibles” was the animation. I can remember thinking it was unlike any I had ever seen and it helped to rekindle my excitement of wanting to go into animation and special effects in the …
Oasis of the Zombies (1981)

Why what do we have here? Another Italian zombie horror crap-fest directed by yet another George Romero wannabe named Jesus Franco. I’m not sure which one is more boring, this or …
Shinobi
Shinobi is a japanese movie but depending on where you get it, it comes with english subs (in my case, thai and chinese were available also). Shinobi actually means ninja. It’s your typical movie of two ninja tribes going against each other but the boy and girl from different …

Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit movie
The latest Wallace & Gromit film is the first one with these to characters to come out in a long time. Everything about it is just so good as you could ever ask from an animation film these days. Excellent look, believable, funny and interesting plot. Most of all …
Taken in Broad Daylight (2009)
I have no idea if this movie ever made it to the theatres but in any event I saw this on the Lifetime channel and found it very interesting. It is about a teenager who was kidnapped from a shopping mall and as the title says, it was done …
Movie: Revenge of the Nerds
I got the kids to bed a bit early last night and, since my wife was taking a shower, I decided to sit down for a few minutes and see if I could find a movie on TV.

Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar (movie) August, 2006
The name of the movie Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar sounds funny and many of us might presume it is a comic movie but well it isn’t. It is a very stupid melodramatic movie with horrible emotional ups and downs as stated in the film. I just cannot understand …
Josie and the Pussy Cats (2001)
This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …

Film “Session 9″ (2001)

Rhythm in the Clouds movie
Rhythm in the Clouds from 1937 just did nothing for me in spite of the fact that on the surface it had a story that might normally intrigue me. To be honest, I am not certain why that lure did not happen.
Rhythm in the Clouds starred Patricia Ellis …
“Dawn of the Dead” (2004) Film
Though it still rates as a “B movie,” Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of the 1978 Romero cult classic still rates as a smart, mostly consistent, and occasionally humorous film. I wouldn’t finger the movie as being a turning point in the zombie genre, but it’s certainly a high point, …
Miracle in the Rain movie
If you want to see a motion picture about the mystery and magic of love, then Miracle in the Rain is the movie for you. This picture sends tingling chills up my spine, the kind of chills from the enduring legacy of a love that can’t and won’t …
Bad Teacher 2011 Movie
I just saw the movie Bad Teacher. In IMDB it only had 5.9 stars, so I wasn’t looking forward to really watching it because of the not-so-good reviews. It stars Cameron Diaz as the Bad Teacher, Elizabeth Halsey, with her co-star Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. Bad Teacher is …
The Elephant Man (1980)
Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …
The Italian Job, movie (1969)
Chances are, you know who Michael Caine is. The Prestige, Inception and the recent trio of Batman films are only a few of the films to showcase his talents. Yet, there was a period where no one outside of England knew who he was. Thanks to …

STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …

Movie: “Stand By Me” (1986)
This movie is based on the novella “The Body” by Stephen King. I was very happy to see that, for once, the movie closely followed the original story; and actually did it justice.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine; and a boy named Ray Brower has …

I highly recommend it to all lovers of computer animation. It is suitable for your whole family. Finding Nemo is a Walt Disney production. The film is very well done for which we have to thank the guys from Pixar Animation Studios. Well, what’s the story.it is about the …
