Play it Again Sam is a 1972 movie directed by Herbert Ross, not Woody Allen himself, but it is written by and starring Woody Allen, as the highly neurotic film —˜Alan’. Although he did not direct this film, the humor is wonderfully neurotic Woody Allen at its best. …

When I first popped this DVD in, I was a little apprehensive about watching Robin Williams portray another homosexual character in a film. It wasn’t until I did a little research, and realized that this film was based on a novel, which in turn was based on …

When Tony comes to Miami, Florida, things are never the same. Tony is a Cuban refugee who tries to start life over in a new country. Al Pacino is brilliant in this role as Tony, who starts out with nothing and becomes a huge drug lord. Tony wants to …

This is by far one of Leonardo di Caprio’s best films along with “The Departed”. I particularly liked the way “Blood Diamonds” was filmed and, as a mother of a small kid, I was very much impressed with scenes were kids were ordered to kill their enemies. I just …

I have always been a big fan of Mark Wahlberg’s acting skills. I like that he’s rough around the edges. Even still, he’s able to nail the emotion that is called for by the scenes he’s in. In this film, Wahlberg portrays a military marksman who …

Does Will Smith ever make a bad movie? Other than Ali, I mean. I watched his movie Hancock tonight and, when I got it I didn’t think it was going to be any good. It turned out to be a great film.
The movie takes a different point of view …

For the sake of candidness I ought to state that I am a big fan of Daft Punk and the original Tron Movie. It is therefore with some bias that I entered the cinema to see Tron Legacy, which announces the arrival of Joseph Kosinski as a new director.
From …

Trying to describe this movie is difficult because the “science” of it detracts from its warmth and the beauty of the love story between two people who had to be together in spite of the impossibilty of it. I watch it often and never tire of it.
A quirk in the …

Finding Nemo is an animated film worth watching. I’ve seen it twice already and still I want to watch it again. It’s the story of a clown fish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective father to Nemo (Alexander Gould). After Nemo disappears, Marlin searches for him into …

The Lake House is a romantic movie with enough drama to keep you engaged throughout the movie. This Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred movie has a unique and a bit confusing plot and this is for me the USP of the movie. The protagonists of the movie live …

If you are born in a super hero family and that too with the best super-dad and super-mom then expectation with you are very high! But what if you find yourself unable to identify any traits of super-power in yourself! That’s what the movie is based on! Will Stronghold …

This “All the King’s Men” is not the one based on Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer winning novel. It is not a novel about politics in Louisiana. It is a movie about, well, all the king’s men. In this version there really is a king, King George V and the …

This movie chronicles the voyage of a fallen marine from his departure from battle to the return of his remains to his home town for burial. Starring Kevin Bacon as a volunteer escort, we see from his vantage point, all the lives that were touched by this one particular …

The movie Monsieur Hire is a tragic type of movie. It is mainly about two separate persons who have no similar attributes except both are extremely lonesome. The subplot is about murder. In example, the initial scene of the movie shows that of a corpse. …

Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.
We have a mother of four, whose husband is dead, and who is struggling to make sure her kids continue …

I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …

I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.
The story is wafer thin, it follows Chun-Li (who’s played by Kristin Kreuk even though the younger version of her is played by an Asian girl) as she tries to find her …

One of the most impressive movies that I’ve watched so far this year was “Django Unchained”, which I feel was surprising since when I watched the trailer, I never got the feeling that it might give The Hobbit a run for its money even though I knew it was …

My daughter wanted to watch this movie so much! She would beg me every day to bring her to the theater to watch this movie. She even did her same old puppy eyes so I had no choice but to say yes. So I went to the theater to …

You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …

What can be said about Rat Race other than very hilarious. It had to be with actors/actresses like John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Seth Green. What is with the men in the board-room, they seem to bet on any and everything…I guess …

The film in the form of actual action it is my opinion after watching Crank, Jason Statham movies. How not? During the 88 minutes duration movie spectators have given the treat of action for the action scenes without stopping, sooner and actually pumping adrenalin. There is no pretense in …

I was in about the fifth or sixth grade during the original run of Growing Pains. I can’t even remember what night it came on, I just remember having a huge crush on Kirk Cameron like all the girls I knew my age. He was adorable as Mike Seaver, …

There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …

The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters. Conversely, the Incredible Hulk (2008) provides the viewer with everything you would expect from a summmer “popcorn movie”, including lots of …

I don’t really get the gist of this movie, it’s one of those films that just doesn’t make any sense. From the beginning, things just didn’t add-up, people were dying…claimed to be killed by the little girl’s imaginary friend. One would not begin the believe that the killer was …

A Home Of Our Own is the story of a family who moves from their life in the city to a bleak and desolate countryside. Kathy Bates is the mom (Frances) of the children and she plays this part so well. Frances is pretty tough and she has the …

Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …

This movie is a very abstract and interesting one and if you’re into Bob Dylan, you won’t be disappointed. Theres a few different characters which represent different aspects of dylans life. Theres the Wandering Child, the troubled Relationship, The Aloof/Distant Bob, and the Star/Media Bob. This movie starts off …

I am reviewing the movie, The Land Before Time. This is a timeless classic. It is a story about Little Foot the long neck, Sarah the three horn, Spike the sharp tail, Ducky the swimmer, and Peetry the flier. Each one of these characters is a dinosaur. This …

I trust that a lot of people have seen this movie and what is worse than just seeing it, you have happened to come across it on the cable networks every now and again, it is my opinion, that whether you see this movie once or on multiple occasions, …

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 …

Shortly after starring in Batman & Robin, George Clooney said that he had come to the point in his career where he’s financially secure enough to make the sort of movies he wants to make, the kinds of movies like Bullitt and The Thomas Crown Affair, Cool Hand Luke …

I’m a big fan of horror movies. I love being scared and wondering what is going to happen next. So of course I had to rent the DVD “The Hills Have Eyes. The overall concept of the movie sounds scary, all american family get lost in …

I could watch this movie anytime, any day. I thought it was a brilliant movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies. It really did keep me very entertained and interested in the movie. Possibly the most entertained in a movie ever. Dennis Quad, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, all …

When we rented the film Shutter this weekend I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I knew it was a remake of another film made in Asia somewhere and, while some movies (like The Ring) translate out to be terrifying. Others (like the Grudge) aren’t nearly as good.
With Shutter, …

2015 was a historic year for me. Simply because it was the time when I took filmmaking by heart. So many good movies were released last year, so many that I was spoiled by the scarcity of quality films this year.
Last year at this exact point, Mad Max: Fury Road …

This movie, more than any movie before or since, did more to affect my life. It helped to define a career path, and it awoke in me a level of creativity I had never known. I was, needless to say, hooked.
The most intriguing aspect of Star Wars, was that, …

Planet Earth is a wild life documentary series. The catch phrase is, ‘as you’ve never seen it before’, which is nothing short of true.
The series is a set of 11, one hour documentaries with added bonus material at the end of an episode entitled, Planet Earth Diaries. This gives …

After seeing the next one already, overrated film with Depp in the lead role, such as at least three of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” I realized that the goal of this production is only attract large audiences billboard advertising, a good harbinger, and the name of the actor.
With …

It starts off really good and funny and then the middle is still funny but not as funny as in the middle. It kept me interested the whole movie. The funny parts in the movie were really hilarious and made me laugh. I even re winded a few parts …
