The Return movie
Normally, when I watch a Sarah Michelle Gellar movie, I expect there to be a lot of action and a little bit of terror. Her movie The Return provided the latter but not enough of the former.
The idea behind The Return is a good one. Gellar plays a …
March of the Penguins
March of the Penguins is one of my favorite movies and one I have watched several times. It is a documentary of the lives and struggles of Emperor penguins on the Antarctic continent but it is anything but boring. Narrated by Morgan Freeman this documentary is touching, …
Happy Feet Movie
This movie is a great family movie to watch, it is an inspiring movie for children for giving them an idea of not giving up to what they are not good at but to find other talents that they are really passionate about.

Nicholas Nickleby Movie
“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …
Mr. Woodcock, comedy film by Craig Gillespie
For the most part Thorten’s comedies are good, he tends to play a smart ass with a ton of humor. Instead of dealing with children Billy Bob is teamed with American Pie star Seann William Scott. With another funny man joining his ranks Mr. Woodcock is hysterical for only …
High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
No Smoking Movie
I checked out “No Smoking” first day, first show with big expectation from a promising star cast and a promising director. I don’t no what went wrong with director Anurag Kashyap for making such a bad movie.
The story, what should I say, is baseless. Even after two hours …
Hang Em High
If you like Clint Eastwood’s western movies then you will like Hang Em High. It is one of his older westerns and is a very good movie to watch. We have several westerns in our library but this one is one of our favorites. It has alot of action, …

WALL-E
When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …

Movies have always been a source of joy, happiness and sorrow at the same time. But every once in a while comes along a movie which inspires you and makes you feel that this movie has enriched your life. For me there is no better example than shawshank redemption. …
Movie: 9 to 5

The Godfather
The Godfather is my favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it. Al Pacino, James Cann, Robert Duvall, and Marlon Brando play their roles with tremendous ability. They make their roles come alive and make the mafia family seem real. I especially like Maroln Brando as Vito …
The Blob movie
Mostly famous because an unknown Steve McQeeen plays the leading part. A some sort of monster movie, with a red blob taking over a whole city as it grows. I thought this was a comedy at first, because the dialogue was so corny. Poor Stevie struggles with silly lines …

The WaterBoy is a great Adam Sandler film! I loved this movie the very day I saw it in the theater. It is a great movie and one of the best ever made in my view. I think this movie will last through the ages and will make families laugh …
Medea’s Family Reunion
Should I be annoyed? I really don’t know. Why do we as women allow our decisions, especially when it comes to love and marriage to be clouded by perception? The perception of friends, relatives and society, as to what is ideal and what is ‘necessary’?
In Tyler Perry’s …
Apocalypto, Mel Gibson Movie
In ‘Apocalypto’, again, Mel Gibson chose to drive in the foreign language film, after ‘The Passion of the Christ’ (2004). This time located in the rural South America, precisely at the end of an era of Maya civilization tribe.

Calendar Girl movie
I have always loved the genre of musical films. They tend to be more entertaining in my opinion, offering drama in the form of song and dance in addition to the spoken and visual story that we are presented with. What I like about an early musical …
Angels in the Outfield
One of the movies which I can remember was released in the nineteen nineties was the movie “Angels in the Outfield”. It was one of the movies I loved as a child since it was a children’s movie with a very interesting plot. It was not one of those …
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 …
Cadillac Records
This movie was actually pretty good. Most of the main characters managed to capture the essence of the lives they were supposed to play, but some did not. Mos Def played Chuck Berry and did an outstanding job portraying one of the pioneers of what we now know as …
New Moon movie
I saw the movie New Moon. The second installment in the Twilight series, when it first came out and at the time thought it was ok. I recently tried watching it again and realize that it was very disappointing.
I did like the beginning when Alice threw the party for …
Rock Rock Rock! movie
Rock Rock Rock! from 1956 is one of those movie musicals that is more like an excuse to show off the music of the day. The plot is thin and barely there, put in the back seat to the various songs that are sung.
Below are some thoughts on …
Monster House
I am reviewing the animated film, Monster House. This movie follows around three main characters: two boys and a girl. The boys avoid this house all the time, because they think it is a monster house. The man inside is just as growly as a monster too. Whenever …

The Living Daylights movie
A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …
Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …

The movie was OK but not as funny as I remembered …
