Movies Reviews
Firstborn,1984 movie
This is another depressing movie, of the kind I dislike. I mean, life can be depressing enough, so why take its darkest things onto the screen and drag them on and on? Not that I’m totally opposed to movies showing negative reality, but come on, sometimes enough is enough.
Anyway. …
Easy-A: Movie
Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …
The Outsiders movie
I simply enjoy doing reviews for old movies because you have the advantage of knowing how they effect people and very importantly what happens to the actors afterwards. “The Outsiders” is a classic movie that goes down in history. Apart from the fact that it is directed from the …
Jaws
Jaws is still one of the greatest action and greatest thriller movies off all time. I had not seen this movie in a LONG time and was curious to see if it still held up as a great movie. Well, it does. Sure, Jaws himself looks …

Mother and son movie
This is a film by the russian cinematic artist Alexandr Sokurov and tell a very slow story about a young man and his sick mother. Sokurov paints his film in stunningly beautiful images and overall I think this feels more like observing a painting than seeing a film, but …
2010 Movie
This movie was anticipated by all, and at first I honestly wasn’t excited about all the hype as movies are all talk nowadays until you actually get to see them on the big screen. This movie ran at 158 minutes and when I was watching it I didn’t feel …
Blow-Up Movie

X-Men The Last Stand
I finally got to watch the third movie in the X-men trilogy, X-Men The Last Stand. Overall, it was a decent film, but it should have been called Wolverine’s big movie.
The movie promised all the characters from the first two films, and it delivered. However, many of the main …
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 …
Erin Brockovich Movie

The Nice Guys (2016 Buddy-Comedy Film)
I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …
Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …
Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …

Caffeine (NR, 88) movie
I saw that Mena Suvari (of American Beauty) and Breckin Meyer were in this offbeat comedy. I thought it would be more about a diner with quirky characters. But it’s actually about a trendy looking café in London with quirky characters. The story itself …
Seabiscuit (2003)
Have you ever been to the horse races? Have you ever had to sit there and wait until they get the horses ready for the race, wait until they are all lined up in their stocks, wait for the release and then the actually race itself? Even had to …
Valerie and her week of wonders movie
A strange film from Czechoslovakia by director Jaromil Jires. It involves young beautiful women, dark phantoms, evil forces and a whole lot of other things in a weird mixture. The film doesn’t have a constant narrative, it rather tries to invent a new way of telling a story with …
Saving Private Ryan movie
Bloody, gruesome, vicious and emotional are the words to describe this movie. A great film directed by Stephen Spielberg. The battle on the beach brought tears to my eyes when you saw how the men were dying, being dismembered and the scene when one soldier turned back to pick …
Rogue movie
I am a fan of monster stories that involve big fish or crocodiles. I was a teenager when Jaws first hit our movie screens and I still think that this kind of movie can be one of the scariest and dare I say it - entertaining of all the …

With his last film “Why Did I get Married,” doing so well, many people expected Tyler Perry’s film new film “Meet the Browns,” to be a disappointment. The film however is anything but a disappointment and continues Perry’s streak of solid films.

Movie: “The Road to El Dorado” (2000)
From the beginning, I was impressed with Dreamworks and their beautifully animated feature films. “The Road to El Dorado” is no exception, with its lively musical score, all-start voice cast, and enchanting animation.
It’s Spain in the year 1519; Miguel (Kenneth Branagh) and Tulio (Kevin Kline), thieves and con artists, …
Toy Story 3 movie
I have been an avid fan of the Toy Story movies 1 and 2. So when I saw the trailers and the teasers about Toy Story 3, I just had to watch it. Since I was young, I have enjoyed watching Toy Story and I think Toy Story 3 …
Janie Jones movie
I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …
2001 Manics Movie
While watching the movie 2001 Manics, I couldn’t help but think that it was the ultimate B-movie which I was usually so turned off of watching. It had lots of sex, gore, bad acting and young people which is what most B-movies usually has, not to mention the lack …
Krrish 3 (Movie)
If I look back at all the Bollywood films I have seen till date, Koi Mil Gaya.. released in 2003 is the BEST of all of them. What worked for this E.T.-inspired flick were - it being one of the first sci-fi movies of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan’s abnormal character …
We Are Marshall
I held off watching the movie We Are Marshall until I could see it for free on a movie channel. The reason for this is I expected it to be yet another sports movie filled with plenty of clichés and not much else.
I was right on the first part. …

“Friday the 13th part 6″ movie
I’ve been making my way through the “Friday the 13th” film series. It is one of the iconic horror/slasher franchises out there and I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I’ve been on a bit of a horror kick lately, I figured that now was as good a …
