A Love Song For Bobby Long (R, 2004) movie

Hook (movie)
Hook was a movie full of great moments and acting. I really thought that Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman did a great job of acting in this film. Dustin Hoffman played the infamous Captain Hook. He really looked and sounded like Hook. He was very funny and did a really …
Life Support (NR, 2006) movie
I will admit that I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie. At first I didn’t realize that Nelson George developed this film which was based on his sister’s battle with being diagnosed as HIV-positive. Starring Queen Latifah in the lead role, I …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …

I watched this movie about few weeks ago, that’s not my first time I watch this movie, I already watch this movie for about four times, and I always enjoy watching this movie. I had special interest on Japanese custom, and this movie is about the last samurai in …
Chain Letter Movie
When was the last time you received a chain letter either by email or text, and actually followed the directions and passed it on to someone. In my case never because I never believed in the hype of what chain letters can or cannot do. In the movie Chain …
Dominique movie
In 1978, there was a movie produced called Dominique. Unlike the bouncing tune made famous in The Singing Nun, this Dominique is deadly serious. In fact, it’s essentially a murder mystery.
Everything in this piece is very slow and deliberate. As a viewer, it’s easy to draw …
The Gamers movie
A film about a team of college boys taking part in so called “Role Games”, a very popular phenomenon among certain young people nowadays. They actually do everything they want to do; create their own imaginary worlds and characters and pretend they live it. That’s the principle of a …
Netflicks
While I do think that Netflicks is onto something with the art of doing dvd renting via the mail, I also think that in order for someone to really take advantage of the service completely, you have to sign up for their most expensive program offer. Of course, …
Only God Forgives, movie (2013)
Drive marked the successful collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2011. When I heard that the pair were working together again, I was very intrigued by what they could create together next. …
Superman, The Movie
Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …

Thr Princess Diaries 2 movie

All Night Long movie

Diary of the Dead movie
After his belated return to his roots with Land of the Dead a few years prior, Romero turns prolific once more with Diary of the Dead; an interesting take on the genre with a hand held, documentary tactic employed perhaps most famously with Cloverfield.
It’s an interesting idea, and …
The Social Network: Movie
The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street movie
Never forgive, never forget.
A true quote that pretty much sums up the plot of this fantastic movie which came out in 2007. Based on the hit Broadway thriller-musical which starred Angela Lansbury as Mrs.Lovett and Len Cariou as Sweeney, this movie was directed by Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before …
The Grey (movie)
Recently I have found it to be more challenging to find suspense and thriller movies that I genuinely love that are set in some form of real life situations. What I ended up doing recently since I felt the urge to watch one was read a blog entry which …

Maybe I’ll Come Home in the Spring movie
Maybe I’ll Come Home in the Spring from 1971 is another one of those movies that aired in prime time once and then became both a late afternoon and then a late night movie, popping up on the air quite often. It’s been several years since I’ve seen …
Leatherheads
“Leatherheads” represent one of the first attemps for the actor George Clooney to be involved in a movie, not just as an actor, but also as a director. I say that after seeing Clooney being involved in a lot of dramatic movies, “Leatherheads” comes across as a surprise since …
Real Women Have Curves movie
Real Women Have Curves is a sweet film about a teenage girl coming into her true self. Ana is about to go off to college but her possessive, uncultured mother wants Ana to stay and work in her sister’s business. The sister’s business is a miserable place where a …
The Divergent Series: Insurgent (science fiction adventure movie)
After enjoying the first movie in the Divergent franchise, I was happy to know that there would actually be a sequel. I expected that it might be a lot better than even the first one especially since it would probably have more action and fight scenes. I was also interested …
Nationsal Treasure film
I was recently coaxed into watching this film due to there being nothing else on at the cinema and my mates were bored. I went not expecting much, and left with a surprise- this movie was brilliant.
The film centers round the exploits of Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage)in attempt to …
Suicide Squad (2016 Superhero Movie)
I can’t really explain how excited I was to see the movie Suicide Squad after I viewed the trailer. Both listening to the soundtrack and seeing the visual effects alone brought me to a level of anticipation that I only had with viewing upcoming Marvel movies. Thus I sacrificed the …
Family Guy : Blue Harvest
Being a Star Wars fan and a Family Guy, after hearing that Blue Harvest came out, I immediately rushed to the store and bought it.
The DVD pack is excellent: you get a T-Shirt, the DVD with extra commentaries and a black and white version of the movie.
The movie parodies …
Movie About a Boy
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 …

One Step Away (Romantic Thriller)
I was bored on a Sunday afternoon and I decided to switch to the movie channel to see what’s on there. I am lucky because a movie is just starting so I can watch it without missing any parts.

George of the Jungle movie
This is one of Brendan Fraser’s best comedies and is a great film for the family to watch.
Basically a spoof of Tarzan, Fraser plays George, a young child abandoned in the jungle and raised by apes. He’s not too bright and is very clumbsy but has a good heart …
Movie Eagle Eye
Now this has got to be, in my opinion, the best movie for 2008. Eagle Eye was a very very unique and interesting movie, starring the ever so hott Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, and the beautiful Rosario Dawson.
The movie surrounds two main characters, Jejrry and Rachel, complete and …
The movie The Great Mouse Detective
I don’t really remember this movie coming out. I did not even know it existed until I was about 11 and my sister brought it home from the library. However when I did watch it I thought that it was cute.
I liked the idea that it was basically …
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …
