27 Dresses movie
The best way to describe “27 Dresses” is a similarity to Jennifer Lopez movie “The Wedding Planner” only much, much better. Interesting to know is that the actress, Judy Greer had supporting roles in both movies. Although it is a romantic comedy, “27 Dresses” is an entertaining movie addressed …
Ladyhawke (1985)
This movie is about a pair of star crossed lovers who have fallen prey to a terrible curse set upon them by a Bishop. The tale goes like this, they can never share each others human company for by day, the woman is transformed into a Hawk as the …
Cromartie High School, Anime series
Cromartie High School is no ordinary school. It’s a school for delinquents. The most important subject is “fighting” and their biggest concern is “who the biggest badass is?” Everything they talk about is completely random and has nothing to do with school. You could say this anime is pointless, …
Who Am I movie
As far as Jackie Chan movies go, Who Am I is far from his best film. However, it is still one of the better action movies ever made and does provide non-stop entertainment throughout.
Chan, who plays a secret agent who loses his memory while on a mission to Africa, …
Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona is a very funny movie inspite of the fact that a lady dies in the very opening scene. The woman is Mona and Bette Midler played the character in a very convincing and powerful way. She dies in the very first scene when her car falls in …
Red Velvet (2008 movie)
I love horror movies, so when I saw that this movie was going to be shown on cable, I just had to look into it. I was curious about it, because I love red velvet cake! So it sounded like an intriguing title for a horror movie. Then I …
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie
I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …
Transformers
Although it is essentially a live-action film, Transformers blows Ratatouille out of the water when it comes to computer animation; the CG sequences in Michael Bay’s latest film are simply incredible, pushing computer graphics to the verge of realism. The film as a whole is a wild ride, with …
17 Again (2009) film
I have just came back from the theater having watched this film, I must let you know , all my friends and I laughed our lungs out through out the length of the movie, surely what we did might have disturbed those sitting around us. Well, I was really …
Taken, movie
Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …
Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, movie
An interesting little horror movie, “Urban Legends, Bloody Mary” is the tale of a vengeful spirit coming back to take revenge years later and several girls accidentally say her name. The story opens with the proverbial tale of the legend and shows how Bloody Mary came to be after …
Twenty Bucks movie
How a twenty dollar bill travels from person to person in an american town is the whole plot of this film. A very interesting idea indeed, but it isn’t put to work in the way i would have hoped for. Instead of focusing on the characters the bill is …
Flight of the Navigator (1986)
A modern day futuristic movie about a young boy who goes missing only to return eight years later to a world that he know nothing about. In addition to his return, even though eight years has passed since he went missing; the boy has not aged a day since …
13 Assassins (2010) - Movie
I saw this film with a friend for his birthday. He loves Japanese culture, and I actually met one of the actors, Tsuyoshi Ihara, at a Christmas party at my school. All the girls were crowding around him, he had the presence of a rock star. …
Sex and the City the movie
I am the fan from Sex and the city TV serial. I always watch it every season and never nissed it. When it will be making in movie, I’m happy because it’s been four years those serial is ended.
Like the serials, sex and the city the movie still starred …
You Only Live Twice movie
A film about the british secret service agent yet again. This time the audience are lead to believe the hero dies in the first scene of the film, but evidently James Bond can not be killed. Sean Connery is clearly getting tired of the role by this time and …
Vantage Point (Movie)
Vantage Point was a lot better than I was expecting. I had read some less than stellar reviews about the movie both online and in print, and I also had a lot of friends who were disappointed by it. Since I’m a big fan of Dennis Quaid though I …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
Justice League cartoon
“Justice League” is one of my favorite superhero cartoons of all times. I can still remember when the series was advertising to start begin aired on the cable channel Cartoon Network and thinking that I wasn’t going to miss it. I had always had some amount of interest in …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
The great and quite long series of books&movies which has been around for more than a decade is about to come to an end.
Being a loyal Harry Potter fan, I read all the books in the series, watched the movies and even played the computer games..
Usually I wasn’t very …

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 …
Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …
Hours (thriller movie)
“Hours” is set in New Orleans, during the August 2005 hurricane Katrina. Once again, Paul Walker, our capable and very likeable action idol, delights his audience with another one of his absorbing thrillers. This time he personifies a rousing image of paternalistic dedication.
We first meet Nolan Hayes, characterised by …
Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …
Happy Feet
During the summer I took my 6 year old son to see the musical movie “Happy Feet”. I was very pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed the movie as much if not more than my son. While the overall appeal of the movie definetly stemmed from well …
Liar Liar
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Jim Carey film Liar Liar and, whene it was on one of our movies channels today, I decided to watch it again.
Somehow, it’s not quite as funny as I remember it being.
The movie does have an interesting premise, Carey plays …
Movie Kate and Leopold
We watch a lot of movies, it is our past time, and if you have cable then you don’t have to spend a lot of money going out. I watched a movie the other day called Kate and Leopold. Meg Ryan played Kate and I like Hugh …
The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
Blood Diamond movie
Nominated for several academy awards, Blood Diamond tells the story of a diamond smuggler, Leonardo Dicaprio, who teams up with a refugee, Djimon Hounsou, to find a 100 karat diamond that could change both of their lives forever, but in totally separate ways. The story takes place in …
Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?
I have some special memories of Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?, the 1968 film that starred Doris Day and Robert Morse. My childhood best friend and I went to see this movie on the same day that we later went to the state fair. …
Hulk Movie (with Edward Norton)
After the bomb that was the last Hulk movie, the new one gave me a nice sigh of relief. I was skeptical about it at first, but I’ve never seen a film with Edward Norton that I did not like, so I decided to check it out.
Unlike its predecessor, …
Iron Man
This latest superhero movie from Jon Favreau, the director of “Elf” and “Zathura”, starring Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard, surpasses many others in the same genre, with a sly adult take on an otherwise rather two dimensional character. The special effects, while impressive …
The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.
…
Blazing Saddles
Let’s face it. So much of Blazing Saddles is so politically incorrect that you’d need several fingers and toes to count the instances. But I don’t think it is a matter of contention with this film. If you take a step back, I think you’ll find Mel Brooks’ intentions …
Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …
Jarhead movie
It’s not often that I will find a movie so horrible I have to turn it off before I even get halfway through it. This is especially true of war movies. However, Jarhead became one of those films.
When I read the description of the movie and saw the previews, …
Clue movie
I am reviewing the movie, Clue, starring Tim Curray. This movie is based off of the board game, Clue. Who did it? With what? Where? When? These are the main questions one has to ask. Was it Mr. Green, Colonal Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, …
Ali-Will Smith
I enjoyed this movie so much because it was a great learning experience for me. Muhammad Ali was always a name I was familiar with but did not know alot about. I decided to watch this film because I am a fan of Will Smith and was curious about …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 14
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 14 concludes the Greed Arc, which improves on the original so much it’s amazing. Greed flees from Izumi and Ed while Marta, Roa and Dolcetto escape with Martel inside of Alphonse. Führer Bradley shows up to go after Greed and secrets are revealed.
This …
Iron Man (2008)
Another interesting movie I saw this week. But if you wanted a superhero movie like Superman you will clearly not find it in Iron Man, because it’s the antithesis of the ordinary loser who becomes a superhero as a consequence of a truly extraordinary event(I prefer those if you …
Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …
SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …
Movie: Popcorn
Synopsis: A college film making group is targeted by a person they believe to be a psycho film maker while putting on a horror movie festival at an old theater.
What I liked about this movie: I started watching this figuring it would fall into the old B-rated slasher movie …
The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
Van Helsing movie
An insane mix of all horror stories that involves Count Dracula, Frankenstein and werewolves. Van Helsing is the historian and philosopher who is an expert on vampires and is given the secret mission of killing Count Dracula in Transylvania. If it ended with that the story might have been …
Mystic River
Mystic River is a movie about three friends who are close when they are young and then something terrible happens. Mystic River is another movie that changes around so much it is hard to follow at times, but the plot is fantastic and Sean Penn as Jimmy is excellent. …
Big Momma’s House 2 (2006)
FBI Agent Malcolm Turner returns in the sequel, this time he is married to the woman of the first movie and they are expecting a little bundle of joy, so he is assigned a desk job that will keep him out of the field until the delivery is over …
50 first dates movie
50 first dates is a romantic comedy movie released on 2004 led by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The story begins with the Henry, marine-life veterinarians who met and have fallen in love at first sight with Lucy, a woman who suffers from a short term memory disease called …
Knockaround Guys movie
The son of a mafia boss is eager to prove is ability, so he plans an “act” to impress his father and his associates, but this only leads to more trouble.
This is in my opinion not an interesting or entertaining film. It tries to make a nice combination between …
