Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …
Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children
I’ve always wondered what happened to the character of Final Fantasy 7 after the game and now I know. This is a feature length film set 2 years after the Meteor incident in FF7. Everyone has settled back into normal life until an old evil force is set to …
Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
To Be or Not to Be movie
A film about a crew of actors in Poland during the outbreak of World War II and the german occupation. The film is all american production with actors like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft, and that takes away a lot of the credibility to be honest. If they were …

The Ugly Truth movie
This movie stars Katherine Heigl as Abby Richter, a producer of a morning televion show in the not-so-glamorous Sacramento, and Gerard Butler as Mike Chadway, a television show host claiming to be an expert on how relationships work.
Mike is hired by Abby’s bosses to help boost ratings for their …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …
Enchanted movie
Enchanted is an attracting and unique movie with a brilliant idea to combine cartoon and real world. It is not a movie about Bugs Bunny and Brendan Fraser while they act in the same scene (Looney Tunes:Back in Action) but about a hole where every cartoon who enters …
Avatar: Movie
I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …
Bandini Movie
Bandini - Movie Review : (meaning imprisioned) , release in 1953, was a story of a girl Kalyani, who falls in love with a social worker, who comes in her village. He promised to marry her, but never returns, later on finding out, that he was married to someone …
Hot Tub Time Machine Movie (2010)
When I saw the trailer for this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it and had made a mental note that I should see this as it seemed like a real comedy. The movie features John Cusack, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, Crispin Glover, and Chevy Chase with …
The Movie Cars
I have to admit that when I heard about this movie I was rather skeptical. Not that I don’t like Pixar films, but rather about the subject matter of this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie it really semed more like an animated version of …
Before Sunrise movie
The movie “Before Sunrise” is an excellent example that you don’t need to do a lot of stunts or spend a lot of money to make a great movie. This movie shows that a simple and straight forward story with two great actors and good filming crew can do …
Ghost Ship Movie
Ghost Ship is a horror movie that I really love, even though the movie itself isn’t really that scary. The first time I saw it was when it was playing in the theater, and I’ve had the chance to see it a few more times since then. Every time …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently watched Pan’s Labyrinth. First I must say that I rarely enjoy movies that I have to read the subtitles. If I wanted to read something it would be a book or a magazine or even a website. There I can go at my own pace and read …
Turistas
What a horrifying situation, to be stranded in a foreign country, and caught up in the schemes of dealers of death. The premise of Turistas (Spanish for tourists) is straightforward. A group of tourists, fresh from a bus accident, find a beach to relax on before walking off to …
Killjoy
When I let my daughter pick out the movie Killjoy for me and my wife (she’s four and picks movies based on the cover) I was a bit concerned it would be too scary for my pregnant spouse.
As it turns out, you can’t judge a DVD by its cover. …
Film Terminator Salvation
More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …
Beautiful and Twisted (thriller movie)
I’ve been a fan of the actor Rob Lowe for some time, and so when I saw that he was playing the main role in the movie “Beautiful and Twisted” I was interested to see what it would be all about. I was lucky enough to catch the movie from …
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Atlantis The Lost Empire is one of my all time favorite animated films. I think the scenes in this movie are just breathe taking. I was very impressed with how cool Atlantis looked in the movie. Atlantis The Lost Empire really paints a great image of what Atlantis probably really …
Tale of Despereaux movie
Synopsis: A young mouse and his rat friend swear an oath to help a princess.
What I liked about this movie: While there were quite a few things I didn’t like about this movie (more on that later), I will say the film did have its moments.
For one, Despereaux definitely …
Movie UP
I am reviewing the 2009 Disney movie, UP. This movie was directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, and was written by Bob Peterson and Pete Docter. This movie starred the voices of Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer (as Charles Muntz), and Jordan Nagai (as Russell).
In this movie, Charles Muntz …

Pauly Shore is Dead is Pauly Shore’s first movie since the lamentable Jury Duty. Meant to be a comedic satire and a lament about the state of Hollywood in destroying Pauly Shore’s career (Shore is unable to accept that it is own lack of talent that is the …
House Of 1000 Corpses
The film was completed in 2000, and finally released in 2003, written and directed by Rob Zombie and starring Bill Mosley, Sherri Moon Zombie, and other lesser known actors. The film is extremely dark, violent, and shocking, it’s not to many movies that make a person feel sick and …

Twilight
Before the movie Twilight came into theaters, I heard many preposterous comments about this movie. I even heard these brutal comments about the book, from whom most did not even read. Before I started my grasp on the Twilight Saga, I was confidental about not reading them, knowing what …
Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
Bugsy Malone movie
A sort of family style gangster movie satire where all the gangsters are at most 15 years old (is it the true age of every gangster in the real world perhaps?) and the violence and sex have been substituted for other things. Bugsy Malone is the main character of …
Say It Isn’t So
Say It Isn’t So is about a dogcatcher named Gilly (a guy) who falls for a hairdresser (even though she cut off part of his ear) who he finds out from a private detective is his sister. And then a few months later he finds out she isn’t his …
The Ring
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 …
All Shall Be Well by Deborah Crombie
All Shall Be Well was written by Deborah Crombie (published by Avon Books in 2004).
Jasmine Dent had died, apparently from suicide; she was suffering intensely from terminal lung cancer. However Superintendent Duncan, her neighbor, was not convinced so; Jasmine had left no messages and moreover, she had an …
Slumdog Millionaire
I have always loved watching indie films and Slumdog Millionaire has made it to my list of favorite movies. The story revolves around Jamal Malik, a waiter cum assistant in a call center in Mumbai, India who joins a localized version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”. Malik …
So close to life movie
This is a film by Ingmar Bergman and was made in the late 50s when he really had found his cinematic expression to its full potential. The story is about three women who are about the give births to children on a hospital. They talk a lot about their …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Big Nothing movie
“Big Nothing” is a comedy about how to stay on the wrong side of the law with the actors, David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg at their best. I must admit that this movie could have been better if there was good work on the script and the way it …

Dead Silence, directed by James Wan is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for horror violence and images. The original release date was March 16, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Horror/Mystery/Thriller and stars Ryan Kwanten as Jamie Ashen, Amber …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Striptease Movie
I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …
St. Trinian’s
The movie “St. Trinian’s” failed to impress me, even though it had an excellent cast of actors such as Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton and Stephen Fry. I found the script lacked certain magic and, in certain moments, there didn’t seem to be a link between one scene …
High School Musical 2
High School Musical 2 is finally out. Everyone has been looking forward to the sequel to big hit High School Musical 1. I was looking forward to it as well. Even though I am not a very big fan of the first movie, I want to know what new …
The Forbidden Kingdom
“The Forbidden Kingdom”, directed by Rob Minkoff, is a rather highly predictable tale involving a Kung-Fu crazy american teenager, a ‘drunken immortal’(Jackie Chan), a monkey god(Jet Li) and a megalomaniacal military warlord. The plot revolves around the monkey god’s golden staff, which was separated from him by the cunning …
Tremors movie

Sexy Beast movie
This ‘Sexy Beast’ movie was recommended to me by a friend who usually has good taste in films. He was right, I really loved it. Gangster films are not usually my thing but I thought this film was really special and can only partially be classed as …
