When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …
United 93 movie
“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …

A Dog’s Breakfast DVD
The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.
A Dog’s Breakfast is a quirky independent film, but it’s an entertaining one as well. It …
The Devil & Daniel Webster Movie
You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …

Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996)

A Walk to Remember
“Tearjerker.” That’s how many people describe the movie adaptation of the popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, featuring pop princess Mandy Moore and TV cutie Shane West.

A film by Hong Kong man John Woo about two police officers who are forced to work together for different reasons. Very similar to another film of his, The Killer. Woo uses a cinematic language this is very impressive in many ways, and very beautiful too. But it is …
Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …

Wild Target 2010 movie
Failure of a hitman is not a situation that you could assess it as “funny.” However, it is perfectly possible in Wild Target, applying the opus of the typology “ordinary people put in extreme situations.”
Three main and unusual characters appear in this movie, a hitman who takes care of …

Twilight Movie
I have heard so many outrageous things said about the Twilight movie, and from people who haven’t even watched it. They have said that Edward Cullen isn’t a real vampire, that he’s a wimpy vampire, that he’s a pretty boy, and pretty much any other ridiculous thing that one …
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was a great homage to all the cliff hanger serials of the 1930s and 1940s. It was another blockbuster for the 1980s and was 1981’s biggest box office hit. It helped to solidify Spielberg as one of the top directors in Hollywood and …
Amelie (romantic comedy movie)

The movie revolves around the very peculiar …

James Bond - Casino Royale
This movie is quite different from all the previous 007 movies starting from Sean Connery as James Bonds. First I have to point out that the opening introductory song is also different. From all the previous ones, when the music started, there were usually profiles of women dancing all …
Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …
First Daughter movie
