Lost in Translation (2003)
I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …

Davincci code/movie
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.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie
From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …
X-Files, I want to Believe
When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …
Krull
This film quietly snuck up on us in the early 1980’s. It’s a science fantasy film that, boiled down, is essentially the classic plot: boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy gets girl.
The boy and girl are Corwyn and Lyssa. And in the beginning they are to be married, …
Futurama Movie #1 - Bender’s Big Score

The city in the movies of 3 directors
The 3 Directors:
Bimal Roy - Kabuliwala
Satyajit Ray - Mahanagar
Vittorio De Sica - Bicycle Thieves
Among the three directors Bimal Roy has most positive attitude (in Kabuliwala), where he shows the city like the other two, as some a place where you can get employment, but he is more positive about …

The Giver (science fiction movie)
I actually saw the trailer for the movie “The Giver” by accident, but somehow I forgot about it, because a few other things that were released around the same period of time seemed to overshadow it. However, by the time that it got on Blu-ray, I remembered enough about it …
Bewitched
Once again Nicole Kidman has shown what a valuable asset she is to hollywood. Her performance in bewitched is spell binding and applaudable. Her karisma leaves as all bedazzled! Bewitched is definitely one of her finest work along with funny man and co-star Will Farrell. Will has shown off …
El Cantante (R, 2007) movie
It’s amazing how you can go into a movie expecting horrible acting, and a bad plot. But Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have really tapped into a very interesting story about Hector Lavoe. Many people have never heard of this famous salsa king from New York City …

The Hunt (drama movie)
I made the decision to watch the movie “The Hunt” without knowing much about the plot. I didn’t even watch the trailer like I would do with most movies that I’m interested in, and I’m glad I didn’t because it was so much more interesting and thrilling that way. It’s …
The Shawshank Redemption
To say it bluntly, this is my second favorite movie of all time (#1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark if you’re curious) and absolutely deserving of its current top spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. What is so great about this movie is that …
Pulp Fiction (1994)

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, Movie
By all accounts, ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ should have marked the end of the live action ‘Transformers’ franchise. That movie was outright terrible. Critics hated, fans hated it, it still stands as one of the worst movies you will ever have the displeasure of sitting through. …
Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist
What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …

We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …
Rosie! movie
Rosie! is a delightful comedy about an eccentric woman whose family questions her sanity. Of course, it’s all because they are worried about her money and it getting away from the family. It’s a common theme for movies, and it’s the central one here. The wonderful …
Up ( 2009 Movie )

The grudge 2
If you have already seen the first one, you really don’t want to see this one. For Sarah Michelle Gellar’s fans out there, she died right at the beginning of the movie. Her sister (not from the first movie) replaces her. This sequel is so confusing. All you see …

The Far Pavilions,1984 movie
The Far Pavilions, 1984, mini-series, is based on the novel by M.M. Kaye. I have one complaint about the movie: several scenes are done in the dark, leaving you to guess what is taking place. Other than that, the movie is good. The story is about Ashton Pelham-Martyn, or …
American Beauty movie
The movie “American Beauty” is a great film that will definitely become an American classic. Millions of Americans have enjoyed the movie, but my experience with the film is unique.
