This is the first batman movie that had all the ideals of Batman character. It is fantastic movie. I liked it a lot. If you really want to know about batman go and watch this movie. It shows how a rich boy comes to street and then becomes batman …
Shutter Island movie
This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …
Spice World movie
When the movie Spice World came out in theatres it was all the rage amongst young girls. I never got to see it in theatres myself, but I can remember my friends constantly talking about it and me feeling left out. On the other hand, there were the …
Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …
Movie: The Family Stone
I recently watched The Family Stone on DVD with my fiance. I was hoping it would be slightly funny and pleasant to watch, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
With an all-star cast including Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, and Diann Keaton, this movie …
Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.
It had been a while since I’ve seen this movie and I didn’t remember much about it. But, after watching it again, I can remember …
The Machinist, Brad Anderson Movie
A number of actors / actress willing stage to change significantly for the physical demands a certain role want a certain physical condition. Tom Hanks for example, had to be thin body for the role as AIDS sufferer in Philadelpia. Likewise, Hilary Swank for the movie Boys Do not …
Ghost in the Machine (1993)
This is a horror movie about a serial killer who meets in a motor vehicle accident, while in the hospital undergoing treatment, he is placed in a CAT scan machine where, while there, an electric storm surges through the machine and transfers the serial killers mind into the computer …
Saw V
Look, I’ll be willing to admit the movie Saw and it’s sequel, Saw II were much better than I expected them to be and would recommend them to anyone. But, after a while, you can have only so many sequels before a franchise gets beaten to death. Unfortunately for …
One Hour Photo movie
One Hour Photo with Robin Williams.
I am sorry to say that this was the worst Robin Williams movie ever. Why take a great comedic actor and put him in a detestable role of obsessed evil? This is a case in which the story …
Movie: Fingerprints
When my wife picked out the movie Fingerprints off our Netflix instant watch queue last night, I honestly wasn’t expecting a whole lot from the movie. After all, most of the so-called horror films out there are nothing more than soft-core porn in disguise or think extra blood and …
The magic flute movie
This film was intended for television purpose mainly, but was so popular the director Ingmar Bergman decided to give it a full release. It’s an opera play, telling the old myth about the magic flute in a very unusual way to be a film. Clearly this wasn’t Bergman’s ordinary …
All-American Co-Ed movie
All-American Co-Ed, a 1941 release starred Frances Langford as Virginia Collinge, one of the college gals attending Mar Brynn College. Her roommate, however, isn’t exactly who, or what, she, er, he, seems. It is all based on a crazy premise about rival schools getting their jollies at …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …
Knocked Up The Movie
I was fortunate enough to be able to see this movie in the theatres and I loved it. I don’t agree with the message it sends to its viewers but I found it funny and entertaining just the same. And here’s why you should watch Knocked Up.
Knocked …
The Host, movie
Whoever thought having the protagonist of a movie spend most of her time talking inside her own head for the better part of 2 hours and get away with it, was painstakingly wrong.
In The Host, another Stephenie Meyer adaptation for the big screen, we start out with Saoirse Ronan …
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 …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
Inception Movie
Inception has climbed to charts as #3 on imbd top 250 movies of all time. According to the majority vote, Inception is more popular then the amazing, and mind blowing “The Godfather Part II”. Now why is this film so good?
First off, I’d like to point out that …
Columbo: Columbo Goes to the Guillotine movie
Eleven years after the Columbo series left the year, Peter Falk returned to his legendary role in what would be a new resurrection for the character. No longer a part of the Mystery Movie weekly rotation or any regular appearance schedule, this began a string of made for …
The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie was just amazing. Because of the long name I will refer to it as Fellowship of the Ring in this review. First off I must say the intro …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …
The Happening (2008) Movie
I really did not know what to think of the movie The Happening. The trailer looked promising, the actors were supposedly good, and the writer and director is M. Night Shyamalan. He was the one who gave us the Sixth Sense, the Village, and now, this.
The Happening stars Mark …
Movie Runaway Jury
I like John Cusack as an actor and I always enjoy watching Dustin Hoffman. I also enjoy watching a good acotr like Gene Hackman. There is a movie called Runaway Jury that has all three of these men in it.
John Cusack plays a juror with a …
Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …
Hot Tub Time Machine Movie (2010)
When I saw the trailer for this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it and had made a mental note that I should see this as it seemed like a real comedy. The movie features John Cusack, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, Crispin Glover, and Chevy Chase with …
Let Me In-movie
Let Me In is a 2010 horror/drama film about vampires.The plot is generally about a young boy named Owen who his constantly being bullied in school.He eventually befriends a 12 year old girl named Abby who is a vampire and needs blood to live.She has a middle aged father …
Beowulf movie
I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …
“Elf” (2003 Film)
Will Ferrell is a very funny actor who I have seen in many movies and really enjoyed watching. One movie he stars in in-particular is the holiday movie “Elf” which came out in 2003. In this film, he plays a human named Buddy who was raised by elves and …
Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel. I grew up watching Disney’s second Golden Age, so I watched “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Mulan”, and so many other masterpieces in addition to their creations during the first Golden …
Zubeida (movie), 2001
The movie Zubeida is directed by Shyam Benegal. Shyam Benegal is one of the best directors in India making realistic films and art films. Though Zubeida isn’t an art film but surely it is a realistic film. This movie releases in 2001. I watched this film at cinema hall …
Superintelligence, movie (2020)
Mid-life soft comedies are a brand that Melissa McCarthy shaped and maintains to this day. At McCarthy’s instigation, as well as that of director Ben Falcone (who, by the way, is Melissa McCarthy’s husband), such films as “Big Boss” and “The Soul of the Company” appeared.
Mid-life soft …
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
I’m not normally a fan of Scooby Doo movies that don’t follow the classic format of the ghost really being someone in disguise. But, I will say I did like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.
This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …
Red Sands movie
This movie contained some of my favourite actors like JK Simmons from Oz and Spiderman, and also the actor Shane West. However, even though I thought the movie wasn’t awful like some others I’ve seen, I still think that it really wasn’t all that great, and I was expecting …
The Substitute (1996)
Shale is a mercenary who has just returned from a dangerous mission. He comes home to find that his girlfriend was the victim of a vicious attack at the school where she teaches. Shale now takes it upon himself to go under disguise as a substitute teacher to find …
The Boss of it All
The Boss of it All is a movie that I love watching. It is very goofy, and makes fun of the corporate industry, and what really goes on inside. It targeted and has a sarcastic message to those bosses who have it all, and making wry decisions.
The …
Movie: The Descent
The Descent is a horror cum gore movie, that horror seekers would love to watch. However, I have some qualms watching this movie, and I was at the verge of vomitting seeing the supposedly “monster” viciously attacking its preys or victims.
This story is about a group of girlfriends, …
Gothika (2003)
A psychiatrist at a mental hospital is possessed by the spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered by the doctor’s husband. Did I give it away too soon? I don’t think so, even if you are given the entire plot of the movie right off the bat, it …
Alvin And The Chipmunks
We recently rented the movie “Alvin And the Chipmunks,” and so far the four-year-old in my house has watched it 5 times! She loves it, and so does her 11-year-old brother! In fact, even I, who never particularly liked the cartoon version when I was a kid, am in …
500 Days of Summer movie
I rented 500 days of summer knowing nothing about it except that it starred Joseph Gordon Levitt who is best known for playing the Alien, Tommy on the sitcom “Third Rock From the Sun,” and Zooey Deschanel. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie, but found …
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009 Movie)
First off, I did not go to see this in theaters. I waited until it was available through Netflix streaming before I actually saw it. That being said, this movie was absolutely amazing even without Imax, surround sound, and in 3D. It’s based off a children’s book, and according …
Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
Step Up 2 Movie
I didn’t like this movie as much as I liked the first one. This is the sequel to Step Up and I think one of the main reasons I liked that movie was because of Channing Tatum. In this sequel, Channing Tatum is only in the movie for like …
Sherek The Third
Sherek does’nt want to wear his father in laws’s crown, so in order to avoid becoming king of Far,Far away, he leads a rebellion to install an alternative. The movie is about 95 minutes long, ad to that some 15 minutes of other movies preview. I like the …
Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army)
I love watching Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army) very much. And I think the character Hellboy or Ape, I think what he’s called is very adorable. This sequel is as best as the first one and in this part 2, there’s this Prince that has been resurrected and …
