Yentl film

A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …

Director: Michael McCullers. Featuring Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Sigourney Weaver and Steve Martin.
It is a comedy that has its funny moments, although some serious truths are hidden behind it. It is a clear cut chick flick, romantic comedy designed for some light watching. It could have been a complete …
The Bridge to Terabithia

Pulp Fiction Movie

K-Pax

I don’t know why everyone around me seems to find Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince a boring watch. Perhaps they are but I was like enjoying the movie, laughing throughout especially when it comes to the love potion. But I am just too lazy to think …
The Big Show movie
From 1936, Gene Autry stars in a double role in The Big Show. As the country singer and actor often did, his ‘nice’ guy role uses his real name of Gene Autry. In this case, he’s a stuntman who sings. His other part is that of …
Movie The Ugly Truth
I had heard a lot of talk about the movie The Ugly Truth. Mainly, Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl were said to have a lot of on-screen chemistry. Still, it was supposed to be a chick flick, with a bit of an edge, and I would say that the …

Hide and Seek (2005 movie)
I don’t really get the gist of this movie, it’s one of those films that just doesn’t make any sense. From the beginning, things just didn’t add-up, people were dying…claimed to be killed by the little girl’s imaginary friend. One would not begin the believe that the killer was …
Over The Hedge Movie
Over the Hedge is more then just an animated movie about a Hedgehog. Even though it’s rated PG, I think that it is one of those movies with the type of humor in it that virtually any adult can relate to and enjoy! Some of the humor …

500 Days of Summer (2009 film)
I had first been interested in the 2009 film, 500 Days of Summer, because one of its main actors (Zooey Deschannel) has always impressed me in other films that she has done. However, her character Summer did little less then annoy and disappoint me. I constantly felt sorry for …

My Faraway Bride

License to Wed
License to Wed is a not so good romantic comedy movie. The movie has Robbie Williams, Mandy Moore, and John Krasinski playing the pivotal roles. The movie has a very artificial plot and it is not convincing at any point. Though the main point of the plot is silly …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Kevin Bacon stars in this movie with the interesting plot and weary execution. The film begins with a group of people sharing happy family moments. The audience gets to see how the boys grow up. And I suppose the montage seen through film and …
The Wicker Man (UR, 2006) movie
First, let the record show that I have no idea why this version was unrated. The original 70’s version seemed far more sinister and graphic to me. But I suppose in this day and age, filmmakers had to do something to get people to rent the DVD. …
