Charlie Chaplin plays an honest man who immigrates to America. As soon as he reaches the new country he runs in to trouble immedietly.

I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the movie Avatar at the theater and finally got a chance to watch it on DVD this past weekend. At the time we rented it, I figured it would be good but wouldn’t live up to all the hype. I was wrong. It …

After Matt Groening and David X Cohen’s television comedy series Futurama was canceled at the end of Season Four, it ended on a potentially upbeat note, but it was open-ended enough to leave fans wondering if there would be any future installments in the series. Not long after, …

This classic struggle for survival is one of my all time favorites. The action all occurs at night on the streets of New York City. I think that I enjoyed it so much because I could …

I remember watching “The princess diaries” a couple of years ago. It is a much better movie than I thought. It had a lot of humor to it and it was a good family movie. I watched it with my sisters and my mother on different occasions. It had …

I just finished reading Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol to my daughter and she said she would love to see a movie about it. Wanting to find a movie that gave justice to the book yet wasn’t too scary for her, I finally settled on Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
The thing …

This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …

Remakes of classic horror movies don’t have the best track record. Yet, we live in an age where they are common place due to…I’m not sure.
I was skeptical when I heard that they were remaking “Evil Dead”. I’m a fan of the original trilogy and doing …

As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …

There are movies that make you say, “that was good.” There are movies that make you say, “wow.” However there are very few movies that make you say, “Wow, that was good.” That’s exactly what I said when I finished watching Live Free or Die Hard. The movie follows …

I’m still looking for new Christmas movies to watch this year; mostly because I’m getting tired of the same stories every year. This is why I ended up loading the movie Elf Bowling on our Netflix player yesterday.
I didn’t know what to expect from a movie based on a …

I am a big fan of all of the Ocean’s movies. That being said I believe that Ocean’s Twelve is the weakest of the three. First, the good things. The acting once again is amazing. The movie features tons of stars and they do not …

Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …

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 …

Uwe Boll does not have the best track record when it comes to movie making. Boll’s reign of terror started with House of the Dead, his first video game movie that made people notice this German native. Things have been constantly going downhill but that is about to change …

I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …

Since yesterday was Halloween, my wife and I spent part of the afternoon watching scary movies. One of the movies we ended up watching was one I haven’t seen in a long time called Dolls. I didn’t remember much about it, other than, when I was younger, it scared …

I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …

When will these couples learn that starring in a movie together only brings trouble, then gain, they live their lives in the publics eye anyway, so this is like second nature to them. This movie, starring Jennifer Lopez as a mobster and lesbian and Ben Affleck as a whiney …

Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.
This first installement of I’m guessing all the X-men members origin is a very effective appetizer to X-men fans out there.
The arrogant and lonely Logan, …

To say it bluntly, this is my second favorite movie of all time (#1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark if you’re curious) and absolutely deserving of its current top spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. What is so great about this movie is that …

“Jumper” was one of my favorite movies released in 2008. In fact, I did not know about the movie until I saw it advertising a little before it went into theatres. When I saw it advertising I wanted to see it a lot, but I knew I would neither …

“Penelope” is a small-budget movie that was apparently released sometime in 2008, although I do not remember any advertising for the movie. Anyway, my wife and I rented it this past weekend. It was a surprisingly charming ‘modern day fairy tale’ staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. …

First of all let me tell you a bit about the movie for anyone who has not seen it. Mary Poppins is set in London around 1910. It is a fantastic musical family film. The film is about a family in London who require a nanny for …

Set ten years before the popular science fiction tv series. Here there has been a serious misunderstanding which has lead to a terrible war that threatens to extinct the whole human species.

I love this movie! I just watched it a few days back and I can say that this is one of my most loved movies after Titanic that is. With Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and more,it was such an enjoyable movie to watch.
It was all about …

Anger Management. I knew of the movie, had no interest in seeing it. Jack Nicholson stooping down so low as to star in a movie with Adam “Billy Madison Boy” Sandler. Not for me.
So, now long after I think this movie is ancient history, I turn …

Who doesn’t love this movie ?!? It has Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in it ! I own it on DVD and in my ipod; I adore those cheesy Halloween-y witch-y movies. I don’t give summaries on my reviews because I don’t want to give the plot away. …

Centering around a bunch of wild animals having to cope with a …

36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.

Life isn’t measured in minutes, but in moments…a tag line well portrayed in the character of Benjamin Button. The general plot concerns a man who ages backwards, thus it goes something like: “I was born under unusual circumstances.” The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is adapted …

On Friday night I was searching the TV guide for something to watch and saw that there was a movie being aired on Showtime called “Life is Hot in Cracktown”. While I figured it was going to be a pointless independent film that I might even have a hard …

Jack Neo label it as Hor-medy. There are a total of 3 stories in this movie and I would say that the stories are short enough but not that bad in making me laugh.
I enjoyed at least 2 of the stories and in a way, it’s not …

There have been many versions of Freaky Friday since the first filming of Mary Rodgers book, but it is the one that I still enjoy the most. Sure some of it is dated, having been filmed in the 1970’s and with most of that ages fashion shown in full …
