Bond 007
Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.
They all have distinct portrayal of “Mr. Bond” with respect to their screen personality. But good thing, despite their individuality, they …
Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing. The screenplay of the movie is decent but it wasn’t utilized properly. As a horror movie, ‘Ouija’ completely fails. It wasn’t enjoyable …
Movie Notting Hill
This is a story about a famous actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and a travel bookshop owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant) who by chance met and fell in love. It seems impossible for them to be together because of their social status, but love found a way.

Friends With Money Movie
I enjoyed this movie a lot. The concept is unique–what happens when one person in a group of friends is in a drastically different socioeconomic status than the rest of them? The characters were both believable and interesting at the same time. I liked how Jennifer …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)
I was eager to see the movie “The Martian” for two reasons. The first was because I saw the trailer and it sounded as if it would be a good watch, and the second reason was because the director Ridley Scott is known for his iconic movies. After I finally …
Stepbrothers (Movie)
I really don’t like Will Ferrell, but my sister-in-law and brothers told me this movie was good and funny, and seeing as I didn’t have anything to do anyway on a rainy day, I watched this movie.
The movie is all about 2 grown-up adults who thinks they’re still young …
Casino Royale (2006)
I’m only a moderate fan of James Bond movies, so perhaps you should take my review with a grain of salt. Still, I like most adventure movies, and love movies in general, so I decided to check out the newest James Bond.
Man, was I confused! I mean, I like …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is the final movie in the Pirates trilogy. I was not very high on Dead Man’s Chest and was hoping At World’s End would reinvigorate my love I had for Pirates 1. However, what I got dissipated my love for …
Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior (R, 2005) DVD
Mike Epps’ first attempt at doing a stand-up comedy DVD was quite the success. This 2005 DVD features all the nuances of Epps quirky and outrageous personality. But the really funny parts of his performance revolve around the realities of life. What I loved in …

Iron Man 2 Movie
I think this movie fell into the sophomore trap—”it wasn’t as good as its predecessor. There is a story though, which is good. Actually, there are many stories going on but they are not too heavy to get the viewer confused. Not much thinking required actually, which after all …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Taken 2 (2012 movie)
I watched the original Taken movie, which was actually pretty good so I, for one, am glad to see another movie made. Before the movie, I was really worried that it isn’t going to be as interesting as the first one. Loved the gun fights, fist fights, and car …
Date Movie

The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, and Jean Reno.
This movie appeared on the scene when everyone was promoting the concept of the Da Vinci Code in books, TV, and documentaries. The star studded cast also appealed to my interest …
Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …

300 (R, 2007) movie
I knew that I would like this film, even though I typically don’t get into fantasy psi-fi period films. However, the graphics and effects alone are great enough to warrant a viewing. Anyway, the Battle of Thermopylae is expertly executed in this intense fantasy-like film. …
