Taare Zameen Par
Taare Zameen Par is perhaps the greatest bollywood movie that I have ever watched. It is a movie about a little boy, Ishaan, who is dyslexic, but his parents fail to realise this. As the story progresses you cannot help but laugh at all of the mischief …
Movie Christina’s House
Christina’s House is the kind of movie that I shouldn’t like, but somehow I do. It’s the movie that I keep telling my friends to watch, even though they’ve seen it and hated it. I have to admit that the movie is pretty cheesy, but I still somehow find …

Sawaariya is the latest bollywood movie of one of the best director of the bollywood Sanjay leela Bhansani…After giving the four hit movies in requal, sanjays this movie is not so great…Its basically a love story about a guy who loves one girl very deeply…But the girl is waiting …
Middlemarch (1994), a movie
This beautifully made movie has too many different storylines and subplots to mention them all, so I will only describe several. Dorothea (Juliet Aubrey), a beautiful gentlewoman, is not vain like so many of her class, she has the desire to be of use, to do something good for …
The Invisible Movie
The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013 Film)
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is a film, directed and written by Tyler Perry. I had heard and read my fair share about the movie, and I was honestly conflicted at first to see it. I knew that there was a lot of hype following the movie, given …

Rio 2: An Animated Movie Directed by Carlos Saldanha
My kids and I loved Rio. I fell I love with the bright fun colors and the excellent animation while my kids fell in love with the story. When they saw that Rio 2 was coming out, they were so excited, but were really sad when my husband and …
The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010 film)
I had a pretty good grasp of the significant things that happened in the last book of the harry potter series. Deathly Hallows finally brought closure to the story I have read since grade school. Bluntly speaking, I am an ardent reader and fan of all harry …
Back to the Future Part 2
I found the movie “Back to the FUture Part 2″ just as exciting as its prequel “Back to the FUture Part 1″. Nevertheless, I am not sure if it got the same amount of attention as the first one did. It stars some of the same actors and actresses …
Running Scared
I don’t really like the movie, Running Scared. It is too much filled with violence and certainly not suitable for kids to watch at all.
The movie is about the character Paul Walker (and he’s looking really handsome in this movie) trying to race with time to get …
Movie - I Am Sam (2001)
I Am Sam is the story of a mentally challenged man who has the mind of a child and who also wants the opportunity to take care of his own child. The sad thing about this movie is this, his daughter is more advanced than he is and tries …

Movie Review: “Bleak House” 1985
We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens. It was the 1985 mini-series version starring Diana Rigg as Lady Deadlock and Denholm Elliott as John Jarndyce, the kind-hearted gentleman entangled in a terrible, …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Last Holiday
The movie “Last Holiday” (2006) helped me to see Queen Latifah in a new way. It is a good story, and she fits right into it, delivering a funny and at the same time touching performance. She plays Georgia, a middle class woman who has a list of things …
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 …
The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …
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 …

On the Outs (R, 2004) movie
I had never heard of this movie before. But when I saw that it was about three troubled teenaged girls on the East Coast, I was immediately intrigued. This is because independent films featuring adolescents in New York or New Jersey (which this story took place) …
Fracture
The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …
Slumdog Millionaire
Director: Danny Boyle
Cast: Irrfan Khan, Anil Kapoor, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Mahesh Manjrekar, Saurabh Shukla and Ankur Vikal
The film which took Oscar by Storm , Slumdog Millionaire is a perfect portrayal of the real slums of Mumbai though not a picture copy of Mumbai . The film moves around a …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …

Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Titanic movie
The movie Titanic was very popular in those days. Wow this movie is really great and excellent. I don’t think that there will be any one will ever make any other movie like this. All the scenes in this movie were looking so real and the …
Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait movie
Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait opens at the basset hound club. I’m laughing and having a good time already. They showed a lot of the different competitions during the opening credits. The dress up category had prisoner bassets, Sherlock Holmes bassets, and flamingo bassets. What a …
Sherlock Holmes movie
From 2009, it’s Robert Downey Jr. starring in Sherlock Holmes and playing the well-known sleuth. Here are a few of my observations.
–The best thing about the movie is the music. It’s powerful and dramatic. It highlights all of the happenings very well. It makes you …
Divergent (movie)
Divergent was one of those movies that I found really didn’t stand out enough for me to notice it at the time that it was released. I decided to watch it after several people told me it was a good science fiction movie even though I had my doubts about …
The Day After Tomorrow
This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a parody send up of Star Trek and Babylon 5 made by a group of friends using nothing but their own equipment and personal computers. When one realizes that, the special effects in the film (which are top notch) are all the …
Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie
I’m always trying to find classic cartoons for my daughter to watch after school on our Netflix player. This recently led me to load a Bugs Bunny movie called Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.

Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
Jason Goes to Hell (Rated Version)
Jason Goes to Hell is the ninth, and supposedly last movie in the Friday the 13th series of horror movies. The movie itself has been panned by fans because it completely disregards the other movies. In this one we are led to believe that Jason isn’t the ordinary man …
Movie Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond films I’ve seen, Casino Royale is by far the worst.
First, Daniel Craig can’t fill even George Lazenby’s shoes when it comes to the role. He’s not handsome. He’s not charming and he’s not James Bond.
The movie itself was even more of a problem. …

Eternal Sunshine, The Teflection of Eternal Love
