The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
Coneheads movie
For years, I vaguely remembered watching a movie called “Coneheads”: with my cousin whose parents had rented the video in either nineteen ninety two or nineteen ninety three. However, I also remembered that since I was about four or five at the time I watched it, most of my …
Wall-E
When I saw all the ads to Wall-E, I thought that it was going to be a boring movie with a lot of silence, but I was wrong. It was one of the best animations that Disney has made yet, both graphically as well as in the story line …
“The life of David Gale” movie
History of sentenced to death, university lecturer and social activist divides the viewers. The film can be assessed in two ways. The positive side is its message and emotions triggered in the viewer, negative - a lot of shortcomings in terms of direction and screenplay.
Despite the various advantages and …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I had been warned ahead of time that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a very sad movie, and since I didn’t want to be a sniveling embarrassment at the theater, I waited until it came out on DVD before I watched it. That was a good decision, …

For Pete’s Sake movie
I really get a kick out of For Pete’s Sake, a 1974 movie with Barbra Streisand and Michael Sarrazin. They play a newly married couple just making it from day to day. Pete (Sarrazin) drives a taxi, while Heniretta (Streisand) tends to their apartment and acts essentially …
Used Cars
Set in the times of an economically resurgent America, in those glamorous days of John F. Kennedy, ‘Used Cars’ is a racy action packed duration of every minute hilarity. Kurt Russell is the show-stealer with his suave & explosive marketing of used cars.
He works for a used cars retailer …

Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …

Children of Men Movie
Children of Men is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. When I first read the plot of the movie it didn’t seem like a solid movie, but after watching it for just 2 minutes I have changed my mind. This is what a good action should …

Sherlock Holmes Movie
I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.

Alibi.com movie

Sisters of the Gion
Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …

Vampires Suck (Movie)
I’m so sick of Twilight and every other vampire detective-lost boy-romantic in a virtual quest to woo the girl and get his soul back that I could hurl. So naturally, when I heard about ‘Vampires Suck’, a Twilight spoof, I had to go see it. Initially I had somewhat …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …
Shutter (R, 2004) movie
I was under the impression that this film was very much like all the other PG-13 “Ringu” type films. In many ways it most certainly is. However, this film (which I believe takes place in Thailand) was quite suspenseful and intriguing. The movie takes off …
Joe Versus the Volcano (1990)
Let us take this movie apart segment by segment. Act one: Joe does not like his job, his boss of his life. Act two: Joe visits his doctor on many occasions and they can find nothing wrong with him. Act three: Joe sees a new doctor who informs him …
Winter Passing
Winter Passing was a beautifully made piece depicting the life of a young actress who must come to terms with her father, who has created a pseudo-family around him. While incredibly well-done, the truth is I found it rather depressing. The relationship with her father heals, the discomfort she …
Boogie Nights movie
Boogie Nights is a film about the adult entertainment industry and the making of pornographic movies in the last 1970s. Evidently at this time, all movies in this genre were made to be shown in theaters. What a concept! Anyway, one of Boogie Nights’ stars is Burt Reynolds, who …

Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie

The Hound of the Baskervilles movie (2000)

Hide And Seek
Hide And Seek was shown on my local TV channel and if it’s acting by Robert De Niro, I always make it a point to watch. This movie also sees the little kid, Dakota Fanning (think she had acted with Tom Cruise as well), I give this story 10 …

I had been looking forward to seeing The Strangers. The preview made it look good, and I had been told by a friend that it was a very scary movie. I rented it and eagerly put it in my DVD player. Unfortunately, I was in for …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
Return of the Jedi
In the third installment of the original Star Wars triology was the Return of the Jedi. I think that this was one exciting movie.
