I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …

Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …

Ahh.. It’s such a shame that everybody is harping on about Mad Mel being insane ans things like that, because truthfully his legacy in film is one of the greatest of all time. with films like MAD MAX, THE PATRIOT, DIE HARD and many others already under his belt, …

Starring: Billie Piper (Jenny), Sam Troughton (Nick), Luke Mably (Tom), Emma Catherwood (Adele), Alsou (Tina), Chike Okonkwo (Edmund Joseph)
This movie is actually not too bad; it started off as rather mundane, but the idea of an old clock that linked the past to the current is quite refreshing!
Jenny …

This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film. Buñuel was otherwise a filmmaker who never let the audience’s needs come in conflict with his artistic vision, and only created what he felt was important. His version of Robinson Crusoe shows that …

I don’t ordinarily enjoy period films. I typically find them boring, tedious, and kind of silly. Plus, there is usually very little that I can relate to in them. But when a relative told me to give “The Other Boleyn Girl” a chance, I …

I’ve said this before but, when it comes to Horror films, they are either very scary or very dull. Unfortunately for the Fog, it was the latter.
The problem with the Fog is it was just like every other horror film. An evil fog engulfs a small town and ghosts …

I was in the mood for a good old fashioned slasher movie this past weekend and decided to look to the 1980s, when slasher movies ruled. I ended up picking out one I hadn’t heard of before called The Prowler and it ended up being one of the better …

Vampires hunting werewolves, werewolves hunting vampires, both vampires and werewolves are hunting humans, when will it all end. In the beginning, they were brothers, one bitten by a bat and became a vampire, the other bitten by a wolf and became a werewolf, if this is the beginning of …

I am a fan of Asian horror movies. I purchased this DVD movie “Apartment 1303″, a Japanese horror, because I was attracted to its title and also the cover. The cover is pictured with one creepy red eye on the right side, and a door numbered 1303 on the …

I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …

Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was a really great movie. It was sexy, witty and simply smoldering. I cannot say that I am a big Brad Pitt fan but I did like this movie. I liked how both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were …

Before I was able to watch the 2015 movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I admit that I didn’t have much of an idea what it was going to be about. The only thing I knew about it was that it was supposed to be based on a spy series that …

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 …

Since 2002, I never miss watching Harry Potter on the big screen. I have been so excited with adaptations on the the silver screen even the comic superheroes or highly critical novels which made it to the Academy Awards. It was something that I have to observe and critic …

I admit I watched this one after missing Channing Tatum. I don’t know if this is his second movie after Step Up however this was the movie that I see two of my favorite hunk Channing Tatum and Robert Hoffman. Ironically, after this movie, Robert Hoffman starred in second …

While I admire any attempt at diversifying movies so that non white actors have the rare opportunity of playing some of the main roles, that doesn’t mean I thought the 2014 movie “No Good Deed” was any good. As a matter of fact, it had the terrible luck of being …

One of the most disappointing movies of the year, Fast and Furious 4 was a flat, uninteresting film. I was dismayed that even the actors came out flat here. It came off like a bad “made for TV” low budget movie. There are no twists or events …

It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …

The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …

Green Dragon (2004) is an independent film based on a true story about Vietnamese refugees as they arrive at Camp Pendleton at the end of the Vietnam conflict. It’s a story that hasn’t been told before, and it’s very well done.
Timothy Linh Bui directed the movie which stars …

This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …

The Family Man is a great drama movie. It stars Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. In this movie Nicolas Cage’s character get’s to see how life would have been if he would have married his girlfriend instead of splitting. I thought this was a great family movie. It’s emotional, …

We’ve all seen millions of zombie movies. Zombie movies are flooding the horror genre. Either original ones come out or terrible remakes. The director Jim Mickle went with a different approach with his plague movie. Instead of zombies taking over a city we have disease carrying rats!
Former boxer …

I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …

I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan and I’m just as likely to leave one of his movies on the shelf of our local video store rather than go out of my way to watch it.
But, as far as his movies go, his film The Postman is actually better …

The movie James Bond Casino Royale is the best Bond movie I have seen. The action is amazing, but it also has an engaging, exciting plot. The action is shot and acted in a way that you really feel scared for the characters. It is never …

I am reviewing the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, called At World’s End. Okay, so the first movie was fantastic. The second movie was good. The third…terrible. What were those writers thinking? I am a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan, but I …
