Legally Blond 1 and 2
No matter what the actress Reese Whiterspoon does with her career, she will be associated with the “Legally Blond” movies for which (for the first movie) she won an Emmy Award. Whiterspoon is simply fantastic in the role of cute Elle Woods whose life is all pink! Whenever Whiterspoon wears …
Koyaanisqatsi movie
This is the first avant garde film from Godfrey Reggio that uses a completely unique narrative based on the rythm between images and music. Or actually, it isn’t completely unique, but I believe Koyaanisqatsi was the first full feature film to be created like this and certainly the most …
Powder (1995 movie)

The Feminine Touch movie
Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …
Leaving Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …
X men Origins: Wolverine
X men Origins: Wolverine turned out to be better than I expected. I wasn’t expecting much because I thought it would be incomplete and completely stupid to concentrate on one character. But it turned out pretty good and interesting.
It did turn out to be a good movie but definitely …
David Icke’s From Prison to Paradise
I have a thing for writers who are out there on the fringe a little bit. I don’t know what it is about them but there is something that intrigues me. With this in mind, I thought that I would enjoy watching David Icke’s “From Prison to …

Rob Zombie’s Halloween
Do you remember when you went trick or treating and got something good in your pumpkin? Like a full size Snickers or Reese peanut butter cup? Well Rob Zombie’s latest Halloween is more like a stick of cheap gum - the sweetness only lasts for so long. …
My Sassy Girl
My sassy girl is a very funny movie. As per my own opinion, the Hollywood version is better than the Korean version, because the Korean version, I think it is a bit dragging, there are some scenes that aren’t really needed but I guess the writer and the director …
Garden State: Movie
Garden State is one of my favourite films. I didn’t know quite what to make of the plot when I first read about it, but the beautifully written script and the well acted characters that you will just fall in love with make it a must see for independent …
Warrior (2011 film)
Gavin O’Connor is not among the most famous of directors but that doesn’t change the fact that once you watch a movie of his you won’t be able to forget it for a long time. I remembered Miracle for a long time, and I still think …

Alive movie

Movie Cold Case
Though there are no stars, Cold Case has an effective chemistry in its cast selection. Out of the multitude of cop shows, this show is unique in its absence of angry detectives that seem to be prevalent. Also, the use of flashbacks is well practiced and keeps …
Prince of Persia,The Sands of Time (2010)
I saw this movie 2 weeks after it came out, because there were a lot of people and the queue lines were long in the theaters!
I absolutely love the Prince of Persia games, and I have played almost all of them except for the latest one, Prince of …
Paranormal Activity movie
Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …
Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
The Little Mermaid
Of all the Walt Disney movies that are out there, the Little Mermaid has to be one of the more colorful ones. Prior to the bad sequels and the even worst television series, this movie was an inspiration for future underwater tales, including Nemo.
My daughter isn’t very good at …
The Count of Monte Cristo,2002 Movie
The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. Apart from the book, this movie is decent. If you have not read the novel by Alexander Dumas and are not familiar with the story, you will probably enjoy it. However, the fans of the book will just shake their heads. The story …

After Earth (2013, Movie)
When I heard about this movie, a science-fiction, with Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, I thought it was gonna be a good film, due to previous movies in which Will Smith played. For me, personally, it was a disappointment, and here is why…
First of all, the movie …

Half Caste (movie)
This is without doubt one of the dullest and boring movies I have ever seen. Watching this film unfold on your TV will put you to sleep. Worst, it’s supposed to be a horror movie! Horror movies as you very well know should be filled with suspense, scary moments …
The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …

Movie Hitch
“Hitch” represents Will Smith’s attempt at romantic fiction and, may I add, not a bad attempt at all! This movie meant a lot for the actors, Eva Mendez and Kevin James because afterwards they received more challenging roles.
In this movie, we see how Smith stars as Alex ‘Hitch’ Hitchens …
Witness
A screenwriter’s dream, this movie is often used as a model for budding screenwriters, to show them how a story should be structured. It is tightly structured in its three acts, and well played out.
Lukas Haas is the witness, Samuel Lapp. He witnesses a murder. What makes him a …
Blockbuster Total Access
Blockbuster is a name we all know. We always had a handful of issues with them. Late fees at odd times of the day and the most expensive movie rentals in town. But times have changed and most movie rental places charge too much these days. We had used …

I have just watched this fantastic old black and white movie, Gaslight, starring the wonderful Ingrid Bergman as Paula, a woman nearly driven out of her mind by her husband in a bid to get his hands on her fortune. Bergman won her first Oscar in this role …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The best way to describe the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is a good look through Greek traditions in a comical way. Originally, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was a one women play. When Tom Hank’s wife, Nina Wilson saw it, she told her husband how great it …
Lake Mungo movie
Lake Mungo is one of the AfterDark Horrorfest movies of 20–. I usually find these are better than the standard B horror movies so when they came out on DVD, I put the whole set on my Netflix list. This Australian movie was made as a “mockumentary” about …
The Happening Movie
Since I first saw “The Sixth Sense” several years ago, I have been a fan of M. Night Shyamalan’s work. There is this “doomsday theme” that he always illustrate in his works. Sometimes, he offers us eccentricities in his stories which is a really good way of entertaining us. …

The Return movie
Normally, when I watch a Sarah Michelle Gellar movie, I expect there to be a lot of action and a little bit of terror. Her movie The Return provided the latter but not enough of the former.
The idea behind The Return is a good one. Gellar plays a …
