Prince of Persia (2010 Film)

Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)
I only rented this movie because I wanted to see a really intriguing suspense film with Michael Douglas. He tends to be in films that have lots of steamy action and great cinematic tension. This film was about a D.A. who was running for office. …
Pulse (movie)
I sat down and watched this movie with my whole family. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It was original and unique, not like a lot of other movies out today. It had it’s own storyline to it. There was hardly any gory parts in the movie, if …

The Usual Suspects movie
I just watched the movie “The Unsual Suspects” last week on a bootleg DVD someone had of it, so I’m not completely sure what quality the actual DVD would be. I heard a lot of good things about this movie before I actually got to watch it, one of …
Chernobyl Diaries 2012 Movie
I honestly expected more from the creator of Parnormal Activity Oren Peli. Many people seem to have mistaken this for a found-footage flick possibly due to Peli’s first series Paranormal Activity being found-footage or the fact that even though it’s NOT a found-footage movie they still wave the camera …
Bonsai (2012 film)
Serious readers of literature would recognize Bonsai as the quaint novella from Chile that endeared the author Alejandro Zambra to literary critics in the west and transformed him to an eminent writer in his home turf. I had been an avid reader of Literature in Translation —“ foreign …
Secret Window Movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end. The characters are also interesting. You feel a connection with the characters and care what happens to them. …
The Movie Open Range (2003)
As far as actors go I think Kevin Costner is okay. He is not my favorite but he does do well in some movies. I thought he did okay in Dances with Wolves and since I do like a good western ( note I said good i.e. Pale …
The Bourne Supremacy
Very rarely do sequels surpass there predecessors. There are some exceptions, Terminator 2, 28 Weeks Later, etc. I thought very highly of The Bourne Identity and believe that Supremacy surpasses it on every level. I was very nervous when I heard they weren’t bringing back the …

The Ten Commandments Movie
The story of Moses who goes to fetch the ten commandments on the mountain of Sinai in Egypt. Great actors like Charlton Heston, John Carradine and Edward G. Robinson bear this story on their shoulders, a film which I honestly found quite boring. I am not a religious man …
Ninja Assassin
Although I was not the least bit interested in it when I saw it advertising to be released in theatres, I both heard and read so many good reviews about it from friends and from people online, that I couldn’t help but feel eager to watch the movie once …

Sex and the City (2008)

Movie “Ruthless People” (1986)

Blues Clues Big Musical
I love Blues Clues so it wasn’t shocking that I loved the first feature length film. I love the catchy songs, the games, the story, and the fun!
All of my four kids have watched Blues Clues since they were old enough to watch a video. I really think …
Clueless
Clueless, a hit movie about teenagers more than a decade ago, was one of my favorite movies as a teenager. This movie was shown at a perfect timing for me as a teenager myself during the 90’s. Its main character, Cher, played by Alicia Siverstone, could be a good …

Superman: The Animated Series Volume One
Superman The Animated Series Volume One is not my favorite of the three seasons, but it is still an enjoyable and exciting season that I am more than happy to own. The three part season opener is particularly entertaining to watch as opens not on Earth or in Metropolis, …
Interview with the vampire
I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.
I’m a big fan of Anne Rice and it’s so rare to like the movie version of a book but this film could not be any more perfect.
I thought they captured the darkness of her books wonderfully. They managed …

I’m one who enjoys a good religious holiday film, and one of my favorites is King of Kings from 1961. This is a remake of the silent classic and stars Jeffrey Hunter. I adore Hunter. He was an incredible actor who could draw me in to …
Vantage Point
I heard mixed opinion about “Vantage Point” so I decided that I really had to watch it to form my own opinion. “Vantage Point” is an interesting complex movie and also very original in shooting. In my opinion, the studios took a great risk in producing such an …
Cinderella - A Twist In Time
I must say that when you have lots of nephews and nieces, you have the excuse of watching kiddie DVD and that I got the chance to watch Cinderella - A Twist In Time. This is something like a sequel to Cinderella and boy does it have lots of …
There Will be Blood
There Will be Blood is tells the story of all of the things, good and bad, that come with power. This power stemming mainly from one product, oil. Daniel Day Lewis is absolutely electrifying in his role as the prospector and main character. He is deserved …

Ghost Rider Movie
Ghost Rider is one of my favorite comic book movies of all time. I never read the comics, so I don’t know if it follows those very well or not, but I still like it. The movie has just the right amount of action and humor, mixed with only …
Blades of Glory
I watched Blades of Glory the other night, and I am a little on the edge about what to think about it. This movie is about two proffessional ice skaters who cannot get along, because of the level of competition. When that competition gets in the way …
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds. It is a movie about a group of American soldiers, comprised mainly of Jewish-Americans, that goes off to Nazi-occupied France during World War II and …
Cassanova movie
I’ve always heard of people referring to womanizers as “Cassanovas” but I never knew where that reference originated. I always wondered if there was actually a man in history who was named Cassanova and used to be a smooth talking womanizer but I had never actually taken the time …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …
Eastern Promises
I am reviewing the movie, Eastern Promises, starring Viggo Mortinsen. So there is this woman. Her name is Anna. She is a nurse. She lives with her mother and uncle. Awhile ago, she had a miscarriage. As a nurse, she comes into contact with a young …

Bride Wars movie
‘Bride Wars’ is the movie where the main stars, Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson dream to marry at the Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately I expected much more from this movie. I feel that the script lacked a certain amount of magic and there weren’t enough funny moments as expected.
In —˜Bride …
Planet of the Apes movie
A film that relies a lot on that the audience must not be aware of how the film ends, actually the whole point is put in the open in the last scene. Charlton Heston plays an astronaut who, after a long sleep in space, crashes on an unknown planet …
The Proposal Movie (2009)
This movie features the top most favorite actor and actress in my list, Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, and they are a natural when it came to making this movie and they are just really superb actors and actresses that this movie didn’t even make me feel as …
Superbad (movie)
Unless you are a high school/college student or an intensely teen-hearted adult, this movie has nothing to offer you. It is nothing but two hours of dialogue about drugs, alcohol, and degrading comments about women; step foot onto any college campus in the nation, and you will be able …
The Trojan War movie
When I first read the description for the Trojan War I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. In fact, the only reason I even decided to watch it is it was too early to go to bed and there was nothing else on.
After watching it, I …
