Movie: Stonehenge Apocalypse
About a week ago, I saw an advertisement for a SyFy original movie called Stonehenge Apocalypse that looked somewhat interesting so I set my DVR to record it. My wife and I got around to watching it yesterday afternoon and, while OK, it wasn’t nearly as good as expected.
OK, …
Bubba Hotep movie
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. Although I’ve seen my share of horror movies in my lifetime, I am not exactly a big fan of the genre. That said, Bubba Hotep is a great movie, and one that any horror or comedy fan should see.
The …

The Jacket (2005 movie)
This is a very confusing thriller if you don’t pay close attention to detail. It also shows what could happen in a mental institution that has a lack of morality and responsibility. This movie shows what happens to one such patient. He is convicted under cause of insanity for …
Om Jai Jagadish (movie)
I watched Om Jai Jagadish on TV. It is a nice film. The movie is based on the life of three brothers of very different nature and their mother. The three brothers in the film called Om, Jai and Jagadish has different nature but still they are united inspite …
Alice in Wonderland Movie
Watched Alice in Wonderland with hubby last night. To be honest, I can’t remember the original movie and what the whole story was all about. I just remember the characters and that it was one of the stories often told to us when we were kids. This movie I’ve …

I watched the DVd “Eddie and the Cruisers” last evening.
This musical movie was made back in the 1980’s.
I really like this movie, which is based on the disappearance of Eddie Wilson, the lead singer of Eddie and the Cruisers. Maggie,
played very well by Ellen Barkin, is a reporter …
Movie Talk to Me
Talk to Me is a lovely movie and I recommend for all to go and watch it. If you are late, go and rent a DVD or whatever means, but you have to WATCH IT. I recommend it 100% because I love watching this movie pretty much. …
Movie: The Seamstress
I was in the mood for a scary movie last night. So, my wife and I ended up watching one we had saved to our DVR called The Seamstress.
At the time, a movie about a wronged spirit who tortures her victims by poking out their eyes and sewing their …
Monsters, Inc. movie
The first time I saw trailers for this movie I told myself I’m never gonna watch that because the characters look really ugly. But a friend of mine persuaded me so off we go to a movie house. I’m sure glad that I obliged to my friend’s request. Monsters, …

Elf
I’m still watching Christmas movies today, mostly because there isn’t a whole lot for me to do with everyone being sick and us being low on cash (yet again).
One movie that just came on that I haven’t seen in a while is the Will Ferrell film, Elf. I have …
The Raven (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Raven” I thought that it seemed like it had a lot of potential. I might not have known at the time that the title was the same as a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe a little before he …

I am reviewing the movie, Eight Below. So there’s this guy. He has huskeys. He goes on missions for paying people in the cold. His dogs mean a lot to him. During one particular occasion, a scientist enlists his services and asks him to take him …

Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone
This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …
Movie Collateral
In the movie “Collateral” one can see the actor, Tom Cruise with a strange hair colour and the actor, Mark Ruffalo with gel in his hair and sporting an earring. Apart from these funny facts, “Collateral” had to be a Tom Cruise drama movie; however I felt that the …
The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
After a long time, I had the oppurtunity to watch a Shahrukh Khan Film. A romantic comedy film that sometimes brings the viewers to tears. I felt that some of the facts are so real in the world and that made me shed some tears. Good movie with …
Eastern Promises
Eastern Promises is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is about a Russian gang in London and how the Russian mafia deals with things. It has wonderful cinematography, that is the way the movie is filmed is fantastic. It is sickeningly violent at times, …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …

Dinosaur (Movie)
Last night my kids were at home with a movie in their hands that I would like to comment about because it is fun and very entertaining for them and for adults too.
DINOSAUR
A Disney movie that takes us back to prehistory, about 65 million years ago when dinosaurs lived …
Guess Who (2005 movie)
I’m still wondering if this is a remake of the classic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, for it does not have the flair of the original (that’s of course, if it is a remake). Ashton Kutcher (Simon Green) co-stars with Bernie Mac (Percy Jones) in this family comedy that …
The Proposal movie
Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have never even made it to my list of favorite actors. Nor have their movies ever made such an impression on me. I had to force myself to watch The Proposal because I literally had nothing better to do and I totally missed watching …
Family Plot-movie
Alfred Hitchcock’s very last film before his death in which a most complicated story is told. Two different criminal couples are up to no good, and for strange reasons their paths get connected. This result in a chaotic meeting where nothing seems to be what one first is led …
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …
Under Suspicion movie
Under Suspicion is an interesting movie which keeps the viewer glued to the seat till the end scene. The scenes woven throughout the movie are very intriguing and if you miss a scene, you can not follow the pace of the movie. The speciality of the movie is that …
The Dark Knight Movie
Thought provoking, stylistic, and entertaining all highlight the 2008 blocbuster The Dark Knight. This film not only provided the audience members with an action fest, it offered some heavy philosophical talking points long after the credits roled. How do you defeat an …
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 …
Triangle, psychological horror film
Jess and a group of friends set sail on a yacht. There is this weird vibe Jess is having prior to getting on the yacht that would scare anyone from making the trip. Her suspicions seem to become a reality when the yacht hits a storm and they are …
In The Valley Of Elah
In The Valley Of Elah is a movie starring Charlize Theron as well as Tommy Lee Jones. Susan Sarandon also played in it as well and this is a good story filled with emotion. I am quite surprised that this story never make it to the box office, …
Movie Nuts
Nuts has too much profanity in it for my taste, but otherwise, Nuts is a wonderful movie. Never assume because your assumptions may be all wrong. People wanted to judge Claudia Draper, a woman accused of murder. She was a high priced call girl, and that’s …
Dumb and Dumber To - Comedy Movie (2014)
I went in expecting this movie to be as funny as its prequel (Dumb and Dumber), which released 20 years ago. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations but nevertheless it was funny. It was extremely ‘dumb’ enough to invoke laughter throughout the film. The film has done extremely …
Baby Einstein DVD’s
My children, as babies, have absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the Baby Einstein DVD’s. They are usually sold at Babies R Us, Borders Books and Music, BJ’s, and Costco, as well as other common stores. This series of learning DVD’s allows your baby to not only enjoy the sounds …

Middle Men (movie)
While I don’t remember seeing the movie “Middle Men” advertise on television, after reading someone’s post about it on a blog about movies I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t think that the movie was too bad at all in fact, and I thought it became …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Yep, it’s another teen movie. But it’s not just another one of those typical ones. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is perhaps one of those movies that actually tackle something more than just the cliché jock/nerd romance. The story follows a recently heartbroken high school student, Nick O’ Leary. …
District 9 movie
Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …
Prom Night movie
In the first place, Prom Night is a not a funny and romantic comedy about a high-school prom night filled with friends and love. Yes, the movie is filled with friends, to be exact the character Donna’s friends, but this movie is all scary and a thriller! …
Our Mutual Friend
This 1998 mini-series is based on a novel by Charles Dickens. Despite many subplots, Dickens usually focused on one large theme in each of his books and explored it in great detail. In this particular work, he looks into the subject of Money. Or, to define it better, Money …
X Men cartoon series
The X men cartoon TV show is very good. I really love this show. This is probably one of the most exciting and action packed TV shows ever made. And I use to wake up early just to see it every Saturday morning.
I think the story lines and plots …
Brooklyn (2015 Film)
Brooklyn is one of my most anticipated films of 2015. Particularly because of the huge buzz it made when it premiered in this year’s Sundance Festival and every audience and critics who attended loved it very much!
Brooklyn is a straightforward storytelling of a small town Irish-girl trying to improve her …
Outsourced (movie)
I do not think that I could have heard about the movie Outsourced, had I not read a good movie review about it some years ago. The review made the movie sound so good in fact, that I decided that I was going to watch it online since I …
Baker Street Nursemaids
I am reviewing The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
