As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.
Grant plays his normal character, a single man who looks to hook up with various women and starts out lying to them …

Doomsday films are everywhere! Honestly I’m really entertained watching different kind of doomsday movie because it gives us a story of struggle, survival and hope. When I saw the movie 2012 available on DVD I immediately bought it and go home because this is the most anticipated doomsday 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 …

I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …

Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say I enjoyed it as much as I did first time I saw it.
Of all the movies that are based on classic tales, this spin on Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow …

This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …

Iron Man blew the box office away in 2008. Now, two years later, Iron Man 2 has done it again with Robert Downey Jr.’s extravagant performance as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …

The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …

Ok, for the record, it’s a bit too early in the year for Christmas movies. For God’s sake, it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. But, at least the Christmas movie I came across tonight, Deck the Halls, is funny.

I must admit that recently I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and watched “Pretty in Pink”. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies for Molly Rigward along with “Sixteen Candles”. According to certain reviews, it also seems to be Molly Rigward …

I had a good time watching this movie. As an actor myself, I really appreciate Sandra Bullock’s comedic talents. She’s charming, goofy, and real. I also liked that the movie doesn’t use crude humor. There is some stripping and PG-13 nudity, but I felt it …

I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …

I’ve watched movies on mass suicide, rape, people eating shit, and about a dozen more sick things. Nothing and I mean nothing could have prepared me for this movie that I decided to watch. Taintlight. Yes Taintlight, a movie that decided to tear apart the first Twilight movie a …

I’ve always though Rodney Dangerfield was more annoying than funny and his movie Back to School did nothing to make me change my mind about that.
Dangerfield plays a millionaire who decides to attend college to further his education and in an attempt to get some bonding time with his …

The greatness of East European cinema I guess need no further introduction. The Shop on Main Street is in my own humble opinion the greatest of all masterpieces coming out that area, directed by rather unkown Hungarians Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos.
As with many powerful movies of the mid-twentieth …

I am reviewing the movie, Eight Men Out, which was released in 1988. This movie centers on the 1919 fall of American Sports, when the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series. The film centers around Shoeless Joe Jackson, played by DB Sweeny; Eddie Cicotte, played by David Strathairn; …

When the Simpsons started on television, I thought it was the best show ever. But, over the past few years, the episodes seemed forced and less and less original.
So, when the Simpsons Movie came out, I had my doubts. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
I skipped seeing this …

I have been a Batman fan since I was about five years old. In that time, I’ve followed every Batman movie made, from the good to the really bad.
I enjoyed “Batman Begins,” but it didn’t capture my imagination is the way I hoped it would. …

The Cannonball Run is almost a remake of The Gumball Rally, an earlier and much better movie about people who participate in illegal road rallies across the country. These rallies have no rules — just get to the appointed destination first and win the prize.
This movie is a …

When I finally got around to watching the Butterfly Effect, I found myself pleasantly surprised. It was actually a pretty decent movie. Not the best movie ever made, but one that was pretty good. I liked it well enough, in fact, to encourage to me to …

Everything was right about this film: cast, crew, settings, story. It had all the elements of success, and enough going on in each scene to ensure repeated viewings over the years. I am one of those repeaters, and now, one of my sons has joined me in naming Who …

OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.

2016 has been a dull year for me in movies so far. I have been to cinema for most time once an anticipated movie gets shown, but there are certain movies that I have missed in favor of the other. For example, I watched The Jungle Book instead of 10 …

I had to see what all the hype was about. “Benjamin Button” was THE talked-about film of the year: critics raved about the film, and it was nominated for all kinds of awards.
