This movie is for the advent court room fanatic…if you like law and the suspense behind the court scenes, then this movie is right up your alley. Theodore ‘Ted’ Crawford (Sir Anthony Hopkins) catches his wife cheating with a local detective. Staging an elaborate murder scene, he shoots his …
The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …
The Witch (2015 Horror film)
As soon as I saw the trailer and began to hear a lot of good reviews about it, I searched long and hard for the 2015 movie “The Witch”. I’m a huge supernatural horror movie fan, and so the excitement was contagious. I found it on blu-ray and I expected …
The wind will carry us movie
The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …

First off, The Corsican Brothers has no pot …
Death Race (2008)
Death Race is an awesome action/racing movie, this movie contain a high level of blood and gore and tons of crazy explosions, and of course, intense races.
The plot sets in US, 2012 where the economy gone horribly down. Jensen Ames (Jason Stratham) a recently unemployed steel worker and …
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Thriller Movie)
I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …
Independence day
Well, what an intriguing mystery on how the aliens (if there are) may look like was given a hypothetical description in this movie. Yes, it is possible that our technology here on earth may be a little rusty but perhaps those aliens could have done something about their …
Streetfighter (movie)
What can I say Streetfighter is probably one of the worst movies based on a video game ever made. This movie tried to use the star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme but not even that was able to save the movie. The probably with Streetfighter was that the people who …
Did You Hear About the Morgans Movie (2010)
I had loved Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex and the City series, tv and movie, so when I saw her in another movie Did You Hear About the Morgans, along with Hugh Grant, I thought this would be a fun movie since the two of them are really …
It Happened to Jane movie
This 1959 Doris Day movie, It Happened to Jane, is one of my favorite Day productions. It costars Jack Lemmon, and Lemmon is just top notch. He and Day are wacky and adorable together. For most of the film, they’re just friends with underlying love that …
Snowpiercer (science fiction movie)
On reading some of the reviews for the 2013 movie Snowpiercer, it was easy for me to assume that the movie would not have been any good since it was heavily criticised by a lot of people. However, after watching it for myself I strongly agree that while it did …
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …
The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …
Begotten movie
An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …
Surrogates movie
The movie “Surrogates” has an interesting plot and premise with nearly everyone on the planet having a station that they connect to, which allows them to control an identical looking robot of them. The movie begins with action to keep the viewer interested and sets up a plot in …
Movie: Marley & Me
My oldest daughter has wanted to watch the movie Marley & Me ever since she saw previews for it. But, I was a bit hesitant to let her do that because I knew a movie like that would end up having some sort of sad ending to it and …
Movie Message in a Bottle (1999)
Message in a Bottle, directed by Luis Mandoki is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for a scene of sexuality. The original release date was February 12, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Romance and stars Kevin Costner as Garret …
The Last Shot (2004)
Let us talk about a movie that falls under the category of a complete ‘miss’. This movie stars some of the best actors in Hollywood like Alec Baldwin, Matthew Broderick, Tony Shaloub, Ray Liotta, Toni Collette and even Eric Roberts, but even though it had these people in the …
Akeelah and the Bee
Akeelah and the Bee is a sweet movie that is good for the whole family. It is about a young African American girl who lives in a poor part of the city. Her school is falling apart and not known for being a good school. Akeelah is her …
John Carter, Disney Movie
Edgar Burroughs is one of the most filmed authors of all time; what is unique about that in general is the fact that it is due to only one of his books - “Tarzan”, while always is adapted the first book and never the more fantastic and wacky adventures …
Cinderella Man: movie
Cinderella Man, which was filmed in 2005, tells the story of a boxer who is trying to support his family during the Great Depression. The film stars Russell Crowe as Jim Braddock, a washed up heavyweight boxer trying to regain his old glory and earn money for his …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 15
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 15 is a really good episode. It starts out with Janeway and Neelix talking about a talent show. The next thing you know Janeway and Chakotay are in a shuttle craft and they crash land on the surface of the planet they were …
11:14 movie
11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …
The Truman Show
I had planned on going to bed early last night. But, I ended up staying up late anyway because I came across the Truman Show on one of our movie channels.
It was the first time I had seen the movie in years and it was every bit as good …
Ghostbusters movie
One of my favorite movies was the first Ghostbusters movie. Even now, I think of it as a classic even though it has one of my least favorite comedians and actors in there, Bill Murray. I think one of the reasons why I appreciated it too was that, even …
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace doesn’t exactly strike me as the movie that fans really expected Lucas to make following the original three films. The way that Lucas released his movies makes it slightly hard to connect them all, assuming Episode 2 and 3 are currently missing, …
Duma movie
Few movies that are noncartoon can entertain my two three years old. However, last night HBO was playing their new hit, Duma. From what I have come to understand, this is one of Walt Disney’s new classic movies about the life of a leopard and his relationship …
MacArthur film
I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …
Herbie: Fully Loaded
When I was growing up, Herbie movies were a staple of our movie nights. Who couldn’t love the Love Bug.
In this latest reincarnation of the car hero, he is teamed with Lindsay Lohan. And, quite honestly, I didn’t like the pair.
While the movie did stick to the family-oriented entertainment …
Thirteen movie
Thirteen is the story of a 13 year old girl who goes wild. Tracy is a pretty normal teenage girl when the move begins, but by the end, she is a wild child. Holly Hunter plays her mom and she tries to fix things but by the time mom …
Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …
Liar Liar (1997)
Liar Liar, directed by Tom Shadyac is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sex related humor and language. The original release date was March 21, 1997 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Fantasy and stars Jim Carrey as Fletcher Reede, …

National Lampoon’s Bag Boy
OK, as far as movies are concerned, National Lampoon’s BagBoy had to have one of dumbest plots ever. You have a high school graduate whose only talent is bagging groceries so he seeks to enter the international baggers competition in an effort to finally make himself a winner. It …
The Titanic (Movie)
This was a good movie that I love very much to watch when it first came out. I love the storyline between the two lovers, a poor American guy and his rich girlfriend, and how even though they only met for a short time in the ship, their love …
The Whole Nine Yards
“The Whole Nine Yards” is all out the acting abilities of Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette. It is truly unbelievable that Perry was very scared to interpret Nicholas Oseransky in the this movie due to the fact that he was very intimidated by Willis and didn’t know …
Sweeney Todd
My wife dragged me to see this one. I didn’t know what to expect other than few of my favourite actors namely Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman. Also it is directed by Tim Burton and I quite like the collaboration between Tim Burton …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie
*SPOILER ALERT!*
I watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince today, the first day it came out, and I must say I was a bit disappointed. I read reviews and also heard from my friends who watched Harry Potter and the midnight show that it was kind of bad, …
Les Miserables (2012 movie)
The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …
Film “Ginger Snaps”
Ginger Snaps is one of the best older movies I’ve seen this month. Every October I watch a lot of horror movies in honor of halloween and this year for the first time I watched Ginger snaps because Netflix recommended it to me. The story follows two …
The Hole movie
It was my friend who actually recommended the horror film called “The Hole” to me some time ago. The person didn’t tell me much about it either since I don’t like to be told much about movies before I watch them; but nevertheless, based upon how they described it, …
Eurotrip
OK, I know I’ve seen the movie Eurotrip before and I’m sure I have probably reviewed it before too.
But, after watching it for probably the 12th time last night, I still can’t get over how good this movie is.
Basically, for those of you who haven’t seen it, the movie …
Netflix Online
It’s time to put Blockbuster behind us.
Here’s why:
Selection. It doesn’t matter whether you like horror, comedy, romance, or history movies– Netflix has it all.
The price is reasonable. You know how much it costs to rent a movie at your local store, it’s outrageous. If you watch more than four …
Made of Honor
I watched the Made of Honor movie with my friends; we were not keen on going for the movie as my sister said it was not that great. Since all of us were bored out our minds, we went for it. The movie was good and ok. It is …
Movie: “The Road to El Dorado” (2000)
From the beginning, I was impressed with Dreamworks and their beautifully animated feature films. “The Road to El Dorado” is no exception, with its lively musical score, all-start voice cast, and enchanting animation.
It’s Spain in the year 1519; Miguel (Kenneth Branagh) and Tulio (Kevin Kline), thieves and con artists, …
The Avengers movie
In a somehow original yet cliche kind of way, The Avengers is one of the best movies of the year and easily the most entertaining. However this action thriller does not come out perfectly, a lot of small flaws make this only a good action movie and not a …
The Bachelor (1999)
Instant riches fall in the lap of an unsuspecting bachelor, but it comes with a catch. In order to get all that he has coming to him, he first has to get married before the sun sets on his 30th birthday, if he fails to accomplish that feet, he …
