B-Movie Classic: The Evil Dead
Way before the Spider-Man movies ever existed, director Sam Raimi made a film called The Evil Dead. This film, in no way, is a blockbuster hit. Evil Dead is a classic bad movie, which was meant to scare, yet at the same time, humor.
The movie stars a young man …
You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail is one of my favourites all time romantic movies together with Sleepless in Seattle and While You Were Sleeping. The main actors in this movie are Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan who team up once again together after making Sleepless in Seattle and Joe versus the …
Yeh Hai Jalwa (movie), 2002
Yeh Hai Jalwa, a stupid movie indeed but nice to watch at home. This film released in 2002. I watched it at home on TV. The director of the film is David Dhawan. As it is David Dhawan film it has to be stupid but mindlessly entertaining too. The …
Somewhere (2010 Film) by Sofia Coppola
I’ve been following Coppola’s works in recent years. Somewhere is Coppola’s latest film, and that’s enough reason to make me want to watch it. I was partly influenced by a write up published at nytimes. I’ve only had the chance to see it the following year. …
Underdog movie
I’ve been wanting to see the movie Underdog but never got around to doing that until very recently. I have to say it was worth watching.
My daughter and I were waiting for my wife to get home from work when this came on one of the cable channels. My …
Hall Pass (2011 Movie)
Starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, “Hall Pass” is about two guys who get to take a week off from marriage, no strings attached. After watching the trailer, I realized that movies like this are why I get so mad at the male population. A week off marriage? How …
King Kong Film
This was surely the worst film I have seen in over a year. For the director to say he spent his whole life wanting to re-make this film is a joke as he couldn’t of done a worse job. The storyline is exactly the same as in …
Columbo: Death Hits the Jackpot movie
Poor Freddy. Just when life seems the bleakest, he wins the lottery. Only then he makes the mistake of confiding in his uncle, who then convinces him to go along with a crazy plot that winds up costing him his life. It’s all about money, greed, …
Sherlock Holmes 2009 Movie
I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey, Jr. as Sherlock Holmes, Jude Law as Dr. John Watson, and Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler. The movie involves Holmes and Watson capturing a man named Lord Blackwood who is the leader of a cult and …
Very Violent Film
Isn’t it good to go to a movie and see intelligent, peacefull and interesting films? But there is nothing of this that I found at Lord of The Rings 3. There are so much violence in the scenes, so much strange anoyng creatures, like the Orcs, creatures that are …
To Kill A Mockingbird
Every individual would like to be respected and receive accolades. People earn respect to build their individuality. It is attained by being honest, diligent, responsible, and benevolent. Respect is a reward one gets in life through the results of one’s …
Ella Enchanted
Ella Enchanted is somewhat of a cross between Cinderella and Shrek. We have a modernized fantasy world with ogres, elves, giants, taxi carriages and man-powered wooden escalators. And we have a teenage girl Ella who lives with a step mother and (of course) her two evil daughters. However, there …
Paul movie
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 …
Kissing a fool
I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …
Something Wicked this way Comes
I am reviewing the movie, Something Wicked this way Comes. There are two young boys. One of them has a father, who is a librarian. The other one has a mother, but no father. The two boys are best friends. The boy with the father is always wishing …
“Star Wars: Phantom Menace” (1999 Film)
The 1999 film “Star Wars: Phantom Menace” was just as wonderful as the other films before it. I didn’t think that I would be a fan of the Star Wars movies, but each time I watch a new one I find myself falling in love with them all over …
Hairspray movie
Hairspray is a warm fuzzy type of movie. The musical style gives it a lot of fun complete with dancing. On top of that there is a great story and a very happy ending. It is a movie that has it all. John Travolta plays the heavyset mom, which …
The Quantum of Solace
I saw the latest Bond flick over the weekend with a few of my friends. I am not a huge Bond fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve seen most of Bond movies, especially the ones released in the past 15 years, so I have at least …
The Running Man Movie
In this rather depressing portrayal of the future, America appears to have lost all its freedoms and turned into a totalitarian society. One of the cruel, government-run entertainments is “The Running Man” show, where convicted criminals are given a chance to run for freedom - but they will be …
In Too Deep movie
I like Omar Epps in his reoccurring role on the show “House” but I’m not convinced he is a good Hollywood actor, capable of carrying a movie when asked.
A good example is the film In Too Deep. Epps stars in the movie and does a decent job as a …
Home Alone 3 movie
Alex, left home because he is sick and cannot go to school, spots burglars trying to break into neighboring houses. Previously, the criminals had planted a secret Air Force chip into a remote controlled toy car, and afraid of being caught at the airport, hide it in Alex’s moms …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the holy grail of comedic masterpieces and quickly became a cult classic for a very good reason. This movie is filled with stereotypical British humor but it is presented in such a way as to not alienate international audiences. The jokes are …
Robots animated movie
I love to watch animated movies, think they are really cool, and these days I can say that animated movies are getting more successful than the real movies. Few days back I saw a new animated movie called “Robots”. It was really a cute movie to watch. The story …
The Lake House
The actors, Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves team up once again together to make this exception movie “The Lake House”, after 12 years from working together on the movie “Speed”.
We are used to seeing Sandra Bullock in romantic and sentimental movies and Keanu Reeves in futuristic movies. “The Lake …
Caddyshack 2 Movie
While I am not one of the biggest fans of golf, I love Caddyshack 2. And believe me, it’s not for the golf. It’s for the comedy. While I have seen the first Caddyshack, I saw the second movie first and I always seem to rotate back to the …
Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
Daybreak movie
A very inventive film from Marcel Carné, who created some amazing films back in the 1930s known as part of the poetic realism. The narrative is very peculiar, as the end of the whole film is the first thing that is shown, and then the rest of the story …
X-Men Evolution cartoon
“X-Men Evolution” was one of the best X-men Cartoons I can remember. On the other hand though it was the second X-men cartoon I can remember watching. It came out I think a little after the second X-men live action movie, and I liked it because the drawings were …
The Last Legion
The Last Legion is a must watch DVD movie starring the ever sweet and sexy Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai and also the handsome Colin Firth. What is the story about, you might wonder, and how on earth a Bollywood actress had been featured in this movie…?
Well, that’s not important. …
Ella Enchanted
I love Ella Enchanted. There’s a beautiful cast for this movie and they consist of Minnie Driver, Hugh Dancy, Anne Hathaway especially and many more.
Anne plays the character of Ella and this movie is something like Enchanted. In fact, this movie was made first prior to …

She’s The Man (2006)
I always love the movie about a woman who disquises as a man with a special purpose and this movie really gives me what I expect.
It is about Viola, a girl who wants to prove to her boyfriend that woman can beat man in football game and that’s why, …
Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …
Parker (2013 movie)
I just got around to watching Parker after waiting around for quite a while since its announcement. Anyways, I’m a big fan of Jason Statham films and so this one is no exception and is a must watch for me. However, after watching it, I find that this really …

Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
Anything Bogie steps into is going to come out shining like the North Star. …
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)
I only rented this movie because I wanted to see a really intriguing suspense film with Michael Douglas. He tends to be in films that have lots of steamy action and great cinematic tension. This film was about a D.A. who was running for office. …

Johnny English (2003)
Rowan Atkinson’s reputation as a comedy actor is still as good as ever. What I can say about this movie is that it’s got good casting. They got John Malkovich on board. His French accented English is ridiculous but I think that’s more like it when …
Duplicity
I normally loathe watching or reading romantic books and movies; thus I had absolutely no intention to watch the romance comedy film Duplicity until one of my friends somehow managed to trick me into watching it with her. Unlike her promises that the movie would get better, I found …
The Crow-City of Angels (Movie 1996)
A sequel that should not have been made…why does everyone need to do a sequel? Was there something from the original Crow that was felt uncovered that they really needed a second installation, or, did they truly believe that they could make more money off re-doing a movie with …

The movie Home On The Range
Home On The Range was, in my opinion, not one of Disney’s best movies. I had absolutely no desire to see this movie when it came out. I saw the trailer and was completely and totally unimpressed by they movie. However even though I had decided …
Vampires: The Turning movie
There is a good reason behind why I find it hard to like many of John Carpenter’s movies. I find that most of them are mediocre with inferior acting, terrible makeup, a silly plot, and even sillier script and so on. Thus, like many of John Carpenter’s movies, “Vampires: …
