The other night I watched a very unique movie called Pan’s Labyrinth, or El Laberinto del fauno. I really enjoyed this movie. Pan’s Labyrinth was out in 2006. The movie is set in the time of the Spanish civil war. Pan’s Labyrinth primarily follows the …

Green Zone Movie
There were several reasons why my husband and I decided to watch the movie Green Zone when it opens in Singapore this week. The trailer looks enticing and exciting enough. The other reason was of course the main actor, Matt Damon. We both love watching the Bourne trilogy and …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Shadow of Malevolence
I’ve been enjoying the Clone Wars cartoon not so much because it is Star Wars but because it’s hard to find anything which feels like epic Science Fiction, and Shadow of Malevolence, the third episode in the season, manages to get that feel of a big universe better than …
While You Were Sleeping Movie
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to get your heart’s desire, then watch While You Were Sleeping. Just don’t expect your heart’s desire to look exactly how you thought it would.

Batman Returns 1992 Movie
With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …

There was much hype over this movie and it was the highly rented movie.Only last month i was able to rent this movie.I have already read the book by Dan brown.i dont think this movie is well translated.If you haven’t read the book before sure it wont …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …
STAY ALIVE MOVIE
Video games are a big industry in the 21st century, so of course i movie would come out that has everything to do with them. Stay alive is pretty much like Tron except without the ligh bikes, the cool story and the ability to make you stay awake long …
Horror Express movie
I actually heard about this movie by accident, when I was surfing the net. I didn’t know that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee had starred in a film together until I heard about “HOrror Express”, and I found the concept of the two actors working with each other to …
Saw II movie
The sequel to the controversial horror movie Saw, which had many similiarities to Seven, but which I still thought had some quality and interesting storyline to it. A horror movie that didn’t quite follow the conventional rules. The story was about people being kidnapped by a psychopathic man. He …
The incredibles
I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
I brought Eeyan and Natasha, my 2 cute nephew and niece, respectively to watch Kung Fu Panda (2008). It was real super fun and we had a great time. The thing was that I was supposed to go with my date on that day, this 26 year …

Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.
I personally found the ‘iraqi’ scientist, the same actor that plays that dude in ‘Lost’, …
The Wedding Singer
The Wedding Singer marks the appearance of Adam Sandler being an extremely funny man. He rocks in this movie and his side-kick, Drew Barrymore rocks too. The storyline is about Adam being a wedding singer and this romantic comedy is awesome.
Adam plays the character of Robbie, …
Fire up movie
Fire Up was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen so far. I love everything about it. You’re going to enjoy watching it. The movie is a comedy and it’s just right for High School or college age viewers. The theme is more towards young people rather than an older …
Career Girl movie
Frances Langford had the starring role in a 1944 musical called Career Girl. Her character’s name was Joan Terry, an aspiring singer, which meant, of course, that the movie was full of songs sung by Langford.
What makes Career Girl a bit difficult to watch are a few …
Maybe Logic Documentary
Maybe Logic is a documentary on the life and thought of Robert Anton Wilson. Wilson is best known for his “Illuminatus Trilogy” written with Robert Shea (The Illuminatus Trilogy was, prior to watching this documentary, my only contact with the work of the man).
The documentary is really quite …
The Mechanic (movie)
One of my favourite action films for this year so far was the movie “The Mechanic”. Surprisingly though it starred the action movie icon Jason Statham, and of course there was one of my favourite actors who I’ve been watching since he was on Disney, Ben Foster. I’m …
A Boy and His Dog Movie
A Post-Apocalyptic film about a boy who communicates telepathically with his dog. Together they set out on an adventure to find food and girls. The film begins very promising, but I really didn’t like the later half at all. At first I found the film funny and interesting on …
Anthony Hemmingway’s Red Tails movie
My husband and I both love movies that are based partly on historical events so when we saw the advertisement for Red Tails on Red Box we decided that we would rent it as a fun movie for the two of us. We only paid $1.20 to rent the …
The Wedding Singer movie
A great film that I would recommend to everyone is The Wedding Singer. The film stars Adam Sandler, (also of 50 First Dates and Big Daddy) and Drew Barrymore, (also of E.T, 50 First Dates and Never Been Kissed). Adam Sandler plays a character called Robbie Hart …
This Christmas movie
I really wish African American films would get better than this. This film was such a rip-off of “Soul Food” that it is not even funny. The sisters fighting the youngest one dating an “intelligent thug”, legal troubles, selling Big Mama/Ma’Dere’s property the list just …
Voodoo Lagoon movie
Starring: Ashley Hamilton (Tom), Lara Cox (Carolina), Lincoln Lewis (Aaron), Natalie Blair (Kate), Beau Brady (Lee), Kelly Atkinson (Jessica), John Noble (Ben), Kristian Schmid (Kevin)
The synopsis on the DVD cover looked interesting at first; eerie voodoo happenings on a secluded tropical island. However it was more …
Spirit Trap
Starring: Billie Piper (Jenny), Sam Troughton (Nick), Luke Mably (Tom), Emma Catherwood (Adele), Alsou (Tina), Chike Okonkwo (Edmund Joseph)
This movie is actually not too bad; it started off as rather mundane, but the idea of an old clock that linked the past to the current is quite refreshing!
Jenny …
Just Like Heaven movie
I watch Just like Heaven when I was flipping through channels and saw Resse Witherspoon, whose movies I love, mainly her chick flicks. I thought Just like heaven’s story line was unconventional and yet hard to believe although a bit eager to want to have. I did however end …
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.
I ended up coming across the film Revenge of the Nerds on …
Memory Movie
Memory has to be the most confusing and convoluted movie I have ever seen. I’ve been a big fan of Billy Zane for a number of years, and I’ve followed his career off and on. Since his role in Titanic, the man hasn’t had a lot of success save …
Wonder Woman - The Complete First Season
I have a complete first season DVD of The Wonder Woman. Yes, it is true and please do not laugh for I love this show pretty much while it was broadcast on the TV channels a couple years back.
It is especially fun to watch this DVD with my group …
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Sometimes I watch a movie and love it so much that I just keep watching it over and over and over and over again. That’s the case with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. When I put this DVD in the player, it tends to stay …
Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
Chuck Vs the Third Dimension
I’m not sure what the problem was, but the three d glasses which were made available for this episode but they didn’t work all that well. I suspect that I sit closer to my TV than most people, so I’m going to assume that was it for now.
The plot …
Taken 2 movie
I was really excited to see this movie because I love Liam Neeson and I thought he did an amazing job in the first movie. I was also excited to see it because the first Taken was a really great movie, one of the best that I had seen …

Sherlock Holmes Movie
I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.
This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …
Netflix Online Mail-Order Movie Rental Service
This is a very disappointing and much over-hyped service for many reasons, but it has a few slightly redeeming factors.
When I first used my free trial membership, the movies arrived in a flash. Sometimes literally 1 day later. The turn around was nearly as fast, and I …
Movie Control (2007)
Control (2007)is a true rendition on the live of the late singer, Ian Curtis from Joy Division. He was a singer and his tale was told in this black and white movie. I’ve always wondered what it’s like for singers and the likes to suffer from depression …
Daybreak movie
A very inventive film from Marcel Carné, who created some amazing films back in the 1930s known as part of the poetic realism. The narrative is very peculiar, as the end of the whole film is the first thing that is shown, and then the rest of the story …
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
The best way to describe this movie is a cute teenager movie with a humoristic twist. ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ is about 14 year old Georgia Nicholson (Georgia Groome) who simply isn’t happy with her life. She dreams of having a boyfriend and thinks that she found the …
The Nanny Diaries
Annie has just graduated from college with a degree in business, but her first job interview at a bank turns out to be a disaster. Perhaps it is because business is not really her thing, Annie actually dreams to be an anthropologist � an idea her mother scoffs at. …
Night At The Museum 2 movie
Two weeks ago, my husband, together with my 7-year old daughter decided to watch a movie. There are four cinemas in the mall that we went to, and none of them were showing an animated film, so we decided to watch Night At The Museum 2 since it was …
Sex and the City: The Movie
I have always been a Sex and The City fan and I was anxiously waiting for this movie to be released. Honestly, the story line is not that interesting. It’s quite an ordinary plot. However, as a Sex and The City fan, it’s always the other …
Shutter Island movie
This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …
300 Movie
I suuuuuper love this movie! The concept, the visuals, the sounds, the costumes, the actors, the abs… Although I already knew what was going to happen to them, I still loved how they came to that grand finale. And even if Leonidas was supposedly killed by a rain of …
