This is Mario Bava at his best. With a cinematic style that was later to become the famous “giallo” genre in italian film industry is here more or less invented by Bava himself. A hideous murder story, unpredictable shock sequences, poweful imagery with a lot of camera movement and …

This is one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. Although the plot is predictable and somewhat cheesy, the character’s ridiculous antics make the movie absolutely hilarious. Martin’s mispronunciation of the word “hamburger” splits my side every time. The contrast between serious and silly members of the …

When I saw the movie “Martian Kid” on the cable guide last night, I immediately decided to watch it since I thought just the title of the movie sounded very interesting and promising, and I wanted to watch it since I thought that the title sounded very unfamiliar to …

I watched Gangster on TV and I really liked the film. It released on 28th April, 2006. I could not watch the movie at theatre because I had my University exam in May, 2006. But I really wished to watch it at theatre especially after the controversy that this …

There are people who love watching horror movies and there are others who just don’t bother. I’m the latter. I get scared easily so I don’t watch too many horror movies. But my sister insisted that we should watch The Ring because it had alot of good reviews. So …

I remember watching Courage Under Fire during the year of 2000 at the movies and it was quite a wonder why the Director feature both talented actor and actress Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan together. But upon watching the movie, I realized that both of them play a truly …

First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …

Since everyone but my youngest daughter was asleep this morning, I figured I would sit down and find a movie to watch on TV. After some searching, I ended up settling for the 1950s film Destination Moon.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a …

America’s Sweethearts is one of those movies that has a star-studded cast, with promises of comedy and entertainment. It didn’t even deliver part of that promise. The movie was released in 2001. The film immediately gave me the feeling that I was watching a soap-opera made into a movie. …

“Flashdance” was a popular movie released in the early eighties. I think of it as a classic since even now from time to time people still make pop culture references to the movie and some of the most famous scenes in it. Another one of the things that made …

Ever since I’ve discovered his movies, the actor Michael Fassebender has become not one of my favourite, but one of the actors who I’ve found to be most interesting. I believe that this especially stemmed from when I saw him in X-Men Origns as a young Magneto. I was …

The Real Blair Witch is a television documentary that has little to do with the 1999 movie —˜The Blair Witch Project’ other than it involves some film footage that is debatable as to whether it is real or not. In 2002 a group of high school friends in …

Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …

My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a nice comedy movie. The movie stars Uma Thurman, Anna Faris and Luke Wilson in the lead roles. Though the movie is entertaining and enjoyable, it some times gets boring and illogical. Even if we accept the fact that Uma is a super girl, we …

In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …

Pollyanna is a classic, a Disney, feel-good movie with a message to think positively no matter how hopeless life may get. Make lemonade from the lemons is essentially what Pollyanna is about.
Hayley Mills stars as the adorable Pollyanna who is sent to live with her Aunt Polly after …

The The Re-Animator is a twisted and very gory movie. This movie shows you what classic horror was all about. It has death, zombies, and very crazy experiments done in the The Re-Animator’s lab. The movie has a very spooky and sad feel to it. You get the feeling …

I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …

Candleshoe is a marvelous little film that stars the great Helen Hayes, the multi-talented Jodie Foster, and the always keen David Niven. Candleshoe is the large and very old manor house that Hayes, as Lady St. Edmund, owns. Niven is her butler, Priory, and Foster is a …

I am reviewing the movie, Major League, which was released in 1989. Everyone has to know about this movie, so I’ll just briefly give a plot and actors involved in this movie. Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, and Corbin Bernen are just a few of the major actors …

I don’t know most of the names of the characters in this movie I have just watched sometime this week, I Love You, Man. I do know that the guy whom plays the main character is the same guy acting alongside Phoebe in Friends. I only know him …

A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …

Love and Other Drugs is a romantic-comedy with a hint of drama. It stars Anne Hathaway as Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jamie. This film was released in November 2010.
At first I felt this film was slow to start off. I also have a hard time viewing Anne …

As a southern girl myself I was really excited to see this movie. It promised to be sweet, witty and funny. I was so sure that it would be because the trailer looked funny. I did go see it and have to admit that I was a little disappointed …

I honestly think there should be a law against Hollywood basing a movie off of a classic piece of literature and then making a film that doesn�t resemble the book at all.
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy is based off of his book The Jewel of the Seven Stars. While I …

I’m not sure if this movie originally came from the Lifetime Movie Network, but that is where I watched it the first time, and am watching it now again. I thought it was pretty great for a low budget movie too, and one that is on Lifetime, since I’m …

The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …

Dancing At The Blue Iguana is not going to win any Oscars, but it is still a good movie. Dancing At The Blue Iguana focuses on the lives of four dancers. These dancers are not your ordinary ballet stars, they are topless dancers. The Blue Iguana is not your …

Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler pair up for this romantic comedy with a rather unusual premise. After a car accident, Lucy (Barrymore) has a rare memory problem: every day her memory goes blank, taking her back to the day of her accident. Lucy does not remember anything in between …

I was quite disturbed by watching the movie, The Ruins. It is a gore story and in fact, filled with too much gore that made the story loses its plot, personally to me. Honestly speaking, I think this story makes Jeepers Creepers seem like nothingness. But …

Hell Boy with Ron Perlman and John Hurt.
This is another of those movies that brings life to a comic book personality, but it is more of an adventure than a satire. I did like this movie because it had a beginning, a middle, and …

NYPD’s Lt. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is teamed up with Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) to try and take down the military minded madness simply known as Simon (Jeremy Irons). Simon enters the scene when news of bomb threats are announced, a decoy that he uses to throw focus …

Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …

For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …

Since it’s looking like a strong contender for Best Picture at the next Oscars, and because it was the only movie I’ve actually been even moderately excited about seeing in a long time, here’s my review of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” a film based on a book chronicling …

When I saw the shorts for 17 Again at the movies I was really excited to see it. It looked funny plus it had Zac Effron in it. The movie is about a guy who is unhappy with his life. In high school he chose family …

While the movie The Breed isn’t one of the better scary movies I’ve watched, it still turned out to be a half way decent thriller and I would recommend taking the time to rent it.
The movie is about five college students who decide to spend a weekend on a …

“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …

Royal Wedding is one of the classic musicals from 1951 which is actually now in the public domain, which is why it’s often included in DVD compilations. That’s how I watched it recently, in fact. I’m sure I probably saw this as a child because I adore …

Charlie Chaplin plays an honest man who immigrates to America. As soon as he reaches the new country he runs in to trouble immedietly.
I think this is one of Chaplin’s most underrated short films. The story has a nearly perfect balance between hysterical physical humour and social criticism, and …

A film by Kurosawa made in the 1950s during the first of his “artistic peaks”, that is said to have inspired George Lucas a lot when he wrote Star Wars. A princess a and a military officer is running away from enemies together. On the way they meet two …

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 …

Once again, aliens come to ou little rock to take it’s occupants for it’s own. There is always some unknown terror wanting to get rid of life on this little planet we call Earth. This time around, it’s some freaking looking creature that takes the form of a teenager …

This was the funniest American serial comedy of all time for me. It is simply funny and not that typical funny, but a smart one. I am a big fan of this serial, The Big Bang Theory. Until now, it has reached season two and over 20 episodes of …

Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …
