Fallen Angels movie
This was the last film where Wong Kar-Wai used the same style he did with his earlier As tears go by, Hong Kong Express and, in some sense, The days of being wild. The difference between these films and his later, more sublime style, is that the story is …
Epic Movie
It’s been since last night since I watched Epic Movie and I’m still a bit torn about whether I liked the movie or not. Well, maybe I should rephrase that, I did like it, I’m just not sure if I should have been disappointed in it.
Epic Movie was an …
Love Affair movie
To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …
Big Hero 6 (Movie)
I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.
Starting from the design of ‘San Fransokyo’, it is a bit weird, …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003 Movie)

Toula’s family is loud, boisterous, obnoxious, eccentric, and insanely Greek. She’s …

Blood of the Beasts movie
This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …
Movie The Inside Man

Sherlock Holmes 2009 - Lock, Stock and Several Exploding Barrels.
This rollicking take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythology brings the old hack’s story up to date with several bangs. From the moment the film starts, we are plunged into the seedy underworld of Victorian London, and introduced to a hero who is both brilliant and rather unbalanced.
Robert …

The Cobbler, Movie

The Bank Job (2007 version)
Who ever said that the movie, “The Bank Job” directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens is a good movie, well he/she doesn’t know what they are talking about. This supposed to be dramatic movie has a good story, but the end result is really horrible due to the way …
The Dark Knight (2008 Film)
The 2008 film “The Dark Knight”, starring a terrific Christian Bale as Batman, and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, was even better than the first movie, “Batman Begins”. When in comparison, I feel that “The Dark Knight” has so much more power behind it’s actors, even more …
Movie Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
I first discovered this bizarre vampire film on TV in the 1970’s under the slightly abbreviated title Dracula’s Greatest Love. This is another in a long line of horror movies starring Spain’s Paul Naschy and his first and only Dracula film.
Some women find themselves stranded …
Chasing Liberty
You actually realise how important a creative script writer is when you watch two movies with the same story line. The difference between both of them can be the level of acting and the creativity involved.
This is the case of the movie “Chasing Liberty” that has the same storyline …
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. …
Big film
“Big” is a classic 1988 movie starring Tom Hanks. It really elevated Hanks to stardom as an everyman who most people can relate to. Looking back on it now, there are some weak plot points, but the movie also has some iconic scenes that one will not …
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age may be an animation, but even adults dig it. The cute graphic, funny plot, witty conversations do not just attract kids but their parents, older brothers and sisters as well.
Yes, the story may be silly, but really, who needs brains when watching animation? We all know …
Pearl Harbor Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time, it’s just a very classic movie that in my opinion, is second to the box-office hit Titanic, but I think the production is almost the same and it should be given much credit just like Titanic. Michael Bay did such a …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, movie
Like many others who watched and re-watched the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy multiple times, I had high hopes for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” But, after sitting through the film, I was left very disappointed.
First of all, the film was too long. Now, I understand that “The Hobbit” …
PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern, the author, is the 22-year-old daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister. It is quite rare to find a book about a 30 year-old-widow written by one so young, as many writers tend to write on younger characters based on their past experiences. Ms Ahern is brave to try …
Thunder Cats
“Thunder Cats” was one of the cartoons I can remember watching with my cousins when I was still a young child, as, although the show was released in the mid to late eighties, one of our local television channels would bring it on weekday afternoons in the nineteen nineties. …

Movie Fragile
Starring: Calista Flockhart (Amy Nichols), Richard Roxburgh (Doctor Robert), Elena Anaya (Helen Perez), Gemma Jones (Mrs Folder), Yasmin Murphy (Maggie)
This movie is trite and unexciting, despite the appealing storyline behind it. I would think the Japanese and Koreans would have done better with this.
Amy took up a …

Soul Food (1997)
A very entertaining and vivid look into the stereo typical African American family as it shows how family ties are brought together and strengthened through the use of food. I have always heard the saying that goes ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’. Now whether …
Employee of the Month movie
“Employee of the Month” had to be a Jessica Simpson movie after her success movie “The Dukes of Hazzard”. Unfortunately for her this movie represented her nomination for the Razzie Award as the worst actress in a female role.
However, there are positive aspects to “Employee of the Month”. This …
Must Love Dogs. A Movie
I recently bought the movie “Must Love Dogs” from Big Lots for only three dollars and I really thought it was cute. I had never seen it before and my thought was that for only three dollars if it was bad than I could just throw it away. …
Scream 4 movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the “Scream” movies. I know that there are a lot of people who hate the franchise, but I never found myself in that camp. By that same token, I never bought it as a revolutionary leap forward in the …
Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …
Ever After Movie
There are so many different versions of the Cinderella story out there, but “Ever After” is by far the greatest of them all, and my favorite movie of all time. What makes this movie different from the others is that they made the movie in a very realistic …
Just My Luck movie
I was given free tickets to a premier showing of “Just My Luck,” starring Lindsey Lohann, so a male friend of mine and I went to see it. Every teenage girl within a 30-mile radius seemed to be at this premier. Some of them even managed to drag …

Pinnochio movie
The movie ‘Pinnochio’ made me feel really disappointed. Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful has been my all time favorite. I watched Pinnochio hoping that it would be as good as Life is Beautiful but I was utterly disappointed. Not in comparison with Life is Beautiful but the movie Pinnochio …
Movie : Clash of the Titans
I recently heard about the new Clash of the Titans movie that is supposed to be coming out at theaters soon. I’m not big on movie re-makes. But, seeing the previews did make me want to see the original 1981 version again so I was glad when I could …

Legend (movie)
I had heard of the Tom Cruise film “Legend,” but I never got around to watching it until last night. While, overall, it wasn’t a bad movie, I’m not sure if I was overly impressed by it either.
Cruise plays a hermit who is called on to face the Prince …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …
