It’s …
Glory movie
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie Glory. I’m not normally a person who watches war movies but this is definitely one of my favorites.

British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …

Body of Lies (movie)
Starring the two talented actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe, the movie “Body of Lies” was nowhere near disappointing. It is one of the most thrilling, tense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen about espionage in a long time, and I would truly encourage those who have an interest in these …
Johnny Dangerously movie
An honest and decent man is forced into criminality when his mother is having a severe disease, and he sees no other way out.
This is supposed to be some kind of comedy, but with the exceptions of a few scenes where Michael Keaton is absolutely brilliant, I didn’t think …
Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds
The movie industry has always been filled with historical fiction from its inception. Fanciful depictions of factual incidents has graced Hollywood screens for the better part of the last century. While Hollywood movies employ their share of historical advisors, movies are out to entertain, not to …
Pirates 3
After waiting for one long year, the third (and last?) part of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy finally arrived. My daughter and I both attended an opening night show. We thought it was great! The effects, as was the case in the first two movies, …
Friends with Money (R, 2006) movie
I don’t particularly like movies with Jennifer Aniston in them. But I will be the first to admit that more and more her films are growing on me. This is only because the three I’ve seen (Derailed, Friends w/ Money, and The Good Girl) provided me with …
Movie Descent
My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …
The Big Short (2015 Film)
As the days become smaller until the Oscars ceremony this coming February 28, I have become so anxious to watch every movie that is nominated.
The Big Short is currently one of the frontrunners of the race, and it is very hard to miss a frontrunner, otherwise you would blame yourself …
The Dark Knight
After hearing how good it was, I finally got around to watching the 2nd Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”. I thought it was well done. It definitely wasn’t just “thrown together” and had plenty of twists and turns to keep me entertained. I think that Christian …
Friday the 13th Part 2
Friday the 13th part 2 is the film that really brings the series to life. The first movie was all about the mother seeking revenge on what she perceived to be the culprits behind her son’s death. With her character out of the way, we could finally get down …
The Valet (2007)
As the introduction, I watched this movie because I saw Gad Elmaleh in the cast lists and I love to see his silly face again since “Priceless”, his previous movie with the beautiful Audrey Tautou. And the result is : I still see the same character Gad plays in …
Meet Dave
Played by one of the most respected comedians in the entertainment industry, Meet Dave is a movie that I would have otherwise been reluctant to watch, as I am not really into blatant fiction, but because of the Eddy Murphy factor, I knew that it would have that comedy …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …

Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Mangal Pandey -Rising
Aamir Khan again at his best as always. He beautifully depicts the character. Many times u forget that u are watching a movie and reach upto that era, wishing u were a part of it. The friendship between Mangal and the british companion is beautifully shown. The title song …
The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
Freakazoid: Season 1 DVD
I have been waiting for Freakazoid to come out on DVD ever since I accidentally taped over a couple of episodes on my home-made VHS set (whoops). Warner Brothers has finally heard the cries of fans and has given us a three-disc set of the first season. The episodes …

Million Dollar Baby
I watched the movie Million Dollar Baby for the second time last night and, even though the movie supposedly got a lot of good reviews, I really just can’t see what people see in it.
Hillary Swank plays a female boxer who is trained by Clint Eastwood. And, while the …
Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …
Planet Earth documentary
I watched the documentary special series called “Planet Earth”.
The shows were about the different geographical bodies of our planet and the animals which live in them.
I really liked the series. I thought each episode had something interesting to offer. Some of the still shots and photography was stunning.
There …

The original release date was October 10, 2003 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …
Keeping Mum

Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is full of action, adventure, and plenty of comedy.
After seeing the first of the two movies I was extemely impressed, and expected even better from the second. It was even better than expected.
The movie is about a young boy who has the knowledge needed for an evil …
Robin Hood (2010) movie
Robin Hood (2010) tells the story of Robin Hood, the famous legendary outlaw, but tells it in a very different fashion from previous Robin Hood movies.
In this newest adaptation of Robin Hood, which features Cate Blanchett (as Maid Marion) Russell Crowe (in the title role) and John Hurt, …
Gone Girl (psychological thriller movie)
Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …
Frankenweenie (movie)
Ever since I heard about the new movie coming out from one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton I knew I had to see it. Even before watching the trailer and even before knowing that the stop motion animation was a remake of one of his earliest movies, I …
Capitalism: A Love Story
“Capitalism: A Love Story” is Michael Moore’s newest documentary. And in true Michael Moore fashion it does not disappoint. Not many movies get a round of applause at the theater, but this one did. This was a great movie. My boyfriend was on the edge …
Breaking the waves movie
The danish director Lars von Trier has been hailed as a master of cinema and won many prizes on the Cannes film festival the last 15 years. To me he is a very overrated filmmaker who never really managed to develop his own cinematic expression that couldn’t be mistaken …
Never been kised movie
Laast night I saw this movie, never been kissed in television. So long time ago I have ever this movie and last night I watched that again though I’m not completely forget about the story at all. I always remember it, because it’s one of my favorite movie.
Never been …
“It’s Complicated” movie
The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …
One More Time movie
From 1970, it’s Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford teaming up in One More Time, a movie in which the two are partners in crime, of the light variety. Davis is Charles Salt and Lawford is Christopher Pepper. Pepper has a twin mustache. When one of …
