In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …

The moment I heard what “Inkheart” was about, I knew I had to see that movie. For someone who loves books, the concept of book characters coming out from the pages into our world is fascinating.
“Inkheart” is based on a novel by Conrelia Funke. Those who have read the …

I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …

I finally got a chance to watch the movie Old School last night, when it was on TV. I’m not sure how much of the film got edited for television but I have to admit, it was better than I expected it to bed.
Will Ferrell has two different kinds …

I am a huge fan of John Travolta and Broken Arrow provided me the best of him and so the movie counts as one of my favourite movies. The movie is based on stolen Nuclear Bombs that are at a huge risk getting activated and hence blowing up a …

A lot went into the making of this film and a lot came out of it. If possible, this trilogy should be watched as if it were one complete film. The closest I came was watching each film nightly, over three nights. By doing so, I gained a perspective …

Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …

I spent some time thinking about how to describe how good the movie Over the Hedge was. The best way I can think of is, it was so good, my 2-year-old actually sat quietly throughout the whole movie.
Centering around a bunch of wild animals having to cope with a …

The first time I found out about the movie was not in the nineteen nineties when it was released, but some time after I got cable. I immediately developed a love for it then because it had a sort of independent movie feel towards it and I had just …

From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …

From 1964, Ride the Wild Surf is one overly melodramatic movie that tried to capitalize on the beach picture craze. About the only thing it has going for it is a great cast, at least as far as bikini and surf pictures of the 60’s go. Fabian, …

I recently rented the movie Running Scared with Paul Walker from Blockbuster. I completely recommend this movie for almost everybody! The only people who might not like it are those who don’t like a little violence. IT is a great ‘mobster’ type of movie revolving around Paul …

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 …

If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” is set in 1930’s …

I am not a huge fan of Eriq LaSalle’s. But when I saw that he took a directorial turn in “Crazy as Hell”, I realized that he had some sort of depth. I mention this film because in it Eriq also stars as a crazy, and mysterious …

I had such high expectations for this movie after seeing the commercial with Will Smith and his son in it, since I love Will Smith’s acting in I am Legend, Hancock, and him and his son in The Pursuit of Happiness. I knew the basic summary of the movie …

Disney movies are always a dose of freshness and Tangled goes much beyond that. It is one of the best animated movies from Disney so far. Though the story of the movie has the well known fairy tale “Rapunzel” as its baseline, yet it provides a captivating story line …

Nowadays, at a time when directors molest us with technical fireworks, and writers write such spins that are so twisted that in the head turns, the movie “127 hours” is a gem. History of simple, painful and true like a biblical parable. Danny Boyle once again showed class.
What does this …

In the face of progressive change, how much does compassion figure in long-established doctrine and discipline? This seems to be the question that is initially asked the audience upon watching “Doubt”, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning period stage play by John Patrick Shanley, but as …

I’m not a big “Chick Flik” guy but when I read the description of Phat Girlz and how it’s about a woman who tries to create a clothing line for bigger women, I was a bit intrigued. Too bad the movie is nothing like it’s description.
The problem with Phat …

Bela Lugosi is once again out for blood in Return Of The Vampire, produced in 1944 by Columbia pictures. This is one of my favorite vampire movies, and I still remember seeing it on late night TV in my youth.

Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …
