I thought this was an excellent film and it kept me totally gripped from beginning to end, but I would warn you that the subject matter of this film is repulsive and it is as gritty as —˜Nil By Mouth’. We are plunged into the world of London …

A great telling of the stories by Frank Miller. It’s dark, it’s mysterious, it’s dangerous, and as the tagline says…”Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything.” Of all the many stories that were told, the best one to me is the story …

This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …

‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …

I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say.

I watched this movie, Employee Of The Month the other night on DVD and it was super funny and top hilarious, I give it a 10, no doubt. I know that the jokes are pretty slapstick and that the babe factor is none other than Jessica Simpson, nevertheless I …

This is a wonderful, unfairly little known and even more unfairly not-yet-released-on-DVD comedy starring the great George C. Scott. If you are a fan of George Scott, definitely check it out!

A very complex documentary about the fact that some Hollywood directors use the name Alan Smithee when their film is severly cut down by producers and they don’t consider the film theirs anymore.
The strange thing as that the director of this film, named Arthur Hiller, thought the film was …

I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …

Having never been able to become very interested in the book for some reason or another, I somehow found myself enamored with the film version of Pride and Prejudice.
