Skyfall movie
The film experience of Skyfall, I think is totally vigorous; and energizing for the audience member. It was for me: that is certain. I believe: Daniel Craig in the role of Bond is a Bond character that continues to grow on you–for certain. At first …
Scary Movie
I could still remember when I saw the very first Scary Movie sequel. I watched it on VCD, and the whole time while watching this comedy movie made me laugh out loud. The jokes were very funny and the spoof that they made was totally funny as …

Prometheus movie
The most anticipated film for nearly a year, and what did we get?

Movie You, Me and Dupree
“You, Me and Dupree” is a great hilarious movie. This movie proved to be important also for the actors, Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson because it is on this set of this movie that they meet each other and later on fall in love. Other actors in this flick …
Dracula 2000 movie
The only disadvantage about this movie which I remember is that I thought the movie should have been a little longer. A part from that it is one of my favorite vampire movies. The movie has no old, or middle aged man playing the role of Count Dracula and …
Bachelor Party (1984)
Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …

Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …

Marley & Me (2008) Movie

The Haunted Mansion movie
I wonder how this movie was made. As I think about it, something like this comes to mind: a bunch of movie-makers comes together and says - “Okay, let’s make a comedy flick. Let’s have a nice mansion with ghosts and dead guys in it, that seems to be …
Source Code movie
This movie was one hell of a ride. Although it didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end as it did for some viewers, I was nervous, excited, and always curious as to the plot of the film and what was going to …

Mystery Science Theater 3000
When I was in high school, one of my favorite shows on TV was Mystery Science Theater 3000. Yet, when they made a movie based on the series, I didn’t get a chance to watch it; until now.

Silent Hill (R-2006)- movie
As usual, I got sucked into seeing this movie since I’m such a huge fan of horror. The trailers looked intriguing (as they always do). But upon reading about this movie, I realized that it is based off of a video game. This could have made …

Pan’s Labyrinth (R, 2006) movie
What a dark and magical film this is. I had heard things about this movie. And as usual, I waited until the Oscar hype had died down before venturing out and renting it. I am certainly glad I did. This story, placed in 1944 revolves …

Based on Stephen King’s novel ‘1408′ is a disturbing and really terrifying horror, which besides sheer thrills might give you the reason to stop for a while and think about what’s really important in your life. The number in the tittle refers to …
Star Wars movie
Quite honestly, I was a huge hold out to the entire Star Wars thing. The 1977 movie had been out for months, close to a year I believe, before I finally caved in and went to see it. By then, seats were plentiful. I must admit …
Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar (movie) August, 2006
The name of the movie Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar sounds funny and many of us might presume it is a comic movie but well it isn’t. It is a very stupid melodramatic movie with horrible emotional ups and downs as stated in the film. I just cannot understand …

An interesting aspect of this movie …
Hatchet Movie
Hatchet is without a doubt the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. People kept telling me to watch the remake of Halloween or a film from the After Dark series, or even one of the foreign horror movies, but nothing kept my attention like Hatchet did. …

Movie : Clash of the Titans

The Dark Knight
The new Batman movie has been getting a lot of hype. With all the build-up, I was worried I’d be let down. I kept hearing such great things, I was worried my expectations were getting unrealistically high. Now, I can safely say, it was every bit as good I …

“Boogie Nights” finds director Paul Thomas Anderson (”Magnolia,” There Will Be Blood”) absorbing some amazing influences in both cinematography, structure and storytelling, rolling them all together and making the result uniquely his own.

Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
Moulin Rouge movie
I must admit that I was very much surprised by Moulin Rouge when I saw it. It’s not really my kind of movie, being an artsy, somewhat burlesque style of film, but I was so impressed with the singing talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor that it …

The Forgotten is a movie you will want to forget. Okay, in fairness to The Forgotten and the people who made the film as well as the actors playing in it, it’s not that bad. The Forgotten is a good rainy day movie where you can sit with your …

The Dark Knight Movie
Thought provoking, stylistic, and entertaining all highlight the 2008 blocbuster The Dark Knight. This film not only provided the audience members with an action fest, it offered some heavy philosophical talking points long after the credits roled. How do you defeat an …
40 Days and 40 Nights
Showtime was showing the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights again last night so I took the time to watch it because there really wasn’t much else on TV.

Every Secret Thing (2014 Crime Drama Movie)
