I have just returned from seeing the long-awaited Narnia movie (”The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” based on the novel by C.S.Lewis). The movie was excellent!! They didn’t change any of the story, the casting and acting was great, and the computer-generated characters were real and believable. The …

I got the movie Popeye as a Christmas gift last year but never sat down to watch it because I’ve seen it before and, even though I couldn’t remember much about it, I remembered it wasn’t the best movie ever.
However, my oldest daughter, who loves the cartoons, wanted to …

The question I asked myself while watching Franklyn on blu-ray was how do these four stories come together? The back of the case suggests that it all comes together at some point but I am not seeing it. Does Franklyn have bull shit written all over it or is …

Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …

Let me start by saying I had no idea The Blind Side was based on a true story. I watched the entire movie without this knowledge, and honestly I’m not sure my opinion of it would’ve changed much having known. There was a lot of hype about the movie, …

The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …

I love watching independent films, especially ones from countries around the world. Therefore, what this means is that I sometimes go searching for new ones and get excited whenever I hear of one that’s really good. Well, recently I’d been hearing a lot about an independent film named …

This was definitely a man’s movie. Rocky with a sword times three hundred. It was over the top, overflowing with testosterone both in the battlefield and at home. It reminded me a lot of Gladiator, with just a darker feel to it. The way it was filmed was very …

I really have to catch up on the buzz of this new-released movie, What Happens in Vegas, just released this year, 2008. It stars the unlikely couple in real life; my most favorite actress, Cameron Diaz (well, one of the most though) and the cute, hunky and sobs! …

I think that like most people as a young child I was afraid of monsters. I remember lying in bad feeling so afraid because I thought that monsters were going to pop out of my closet and eat me.
It was because of those memories that when Monsters Inc …

Rang De Basanti is a revolutionary film made recently, and was India�s Official Entry to the Oscars. Its one of the few movies, which was both artistic and also did well commercially. In fact it was one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. The story was …

I woke up with a cold yesterday and slept all day. Today I was kind of tired so I just tried to stay in bed for most of the day. I couldn’t really get to sleep but I didn’t feel like getting up or doing anything. So I decided …

I think that there are two types of slasher movie fans. These are those who like gore, and those who seem to watch slasher movies mostly for the thrill of it. Nevertheless, after watching the 1980 slasher film “He Knows You’re Alone” twice, I do not think that either …

The Shawshank Redemption is a very good movie that may take you several times of watching before you really get all the little nuances that are going on. At least for me, that is what happened. I got the big picture right away, but it took several viewings to …

I only rented this movie because I wanted to see a really intriguing suspense film with Michael Douglas. He tends to be in films that have lots of steamy action and great cinematic tension. This film was about a D.A. who was running for office. …

This is a great action packed movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I love the fast pace energy of the scenes. Geena Davis and Samuel Jackson are just two of my favorite actors and they worked extremely well in this film together. I loved …

With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …

Watching Ghost World is not quite like watching a chick flick. Although you see American Beauty actress Thora Birch and the sweet and innocent look actress, Scarlett Johansson star. This is kind of an exploration type of movie and I feel that each character in the story has …

Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)

Some women find themselves stranded …

Positives: Comprehensive, narrative, informative and captivating.
Negatives: Too short, concise but could do with a bit more detail, narrow topic focus.

Yet another film by the master Wong Kar-Wai, which tells the story of a homosexual couple and their stormy relationship. It ends the era of his more explosive visual style and brings him closer to what he does today. The narrative is slower, more thoughtful, but still Wong Kar-Wai’s …

I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …

I love watching Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army) very much. And I think the character Hellboy or Ape, I think what he’s called is very adorable. This sequel is as best as the first one and in this part 2, there’s this Prince that has been resurrected and …

I’m a child of the 70’s. Yes, that means I was a *child* in the 70’s, so I never really was into Abba much. I just remember bopping to ‘Dancing Queen’ at the school disco (wearing my Mum’s incredibly psychodelic maxi dress if I remember correctly) so I was …

When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.

The movie “Erin Brockovich” came out in 2000 and I rushed out and bought it the moment it became available on DVD. This movie was inspiring to me because she didn’t let anything hold her back. Julia Roberts portrayal of Erin Brockovich was astounding. I have …
