Princess Diaries
The said movie is an adaptation of a book series by Meg Cabot, and although it is entirely different from the book version, I could still describe this movie as “transforming and relatable”.
The movie follows the story of Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), a gawky freshman student whose life was …

The Dead Zone
OK, is there a movie Christopher Walken doesn�t have a role in? Though, I have to admit, it was a bit strange seeing him actually be the star rather than have a supporting role.
Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch this movie from the …

I received the movie “Stepbrothers” in my mail from blockbuster by mail a few days ago and watched it that day. Overall it was a good movie. My only complaint about it is that I felt like something was missing in it. I also think they showed too many …
The Babadook - Horror Movie (2014)
There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …

Movie Harvey
Harvey is a delightful motion picture from 1950 that stars James Stewart and Harvey, the invisible rabbit. It’s true. The rabbit gets excellent billing in the movie.
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, who is unusually pleasant about absolutely everything. He’s never in a hurry, and he never …

I had high hopes for the movie RV when it was released in theaters. The previews for this movie look great in my opinion, and Robin Williams typically starts to very good movies. When i went to go see this is the theater I went in with high hopes …

I watched Biwi No 1 at theatre with my mother and family. It is a very funny film. I enjoyed it a lot. It released in 1999. This film is directed by David Dhawan. David Dhawan is known for his comedy movies and this one is surely funny. The …
The Shining movie
The Shining starring Jack Nicholson as Jack, the father, is my favorite The Shining movie. This classic blew everyone away in its time, and Stephen King’s book was brought to justice with The Shining movie. A man who has some issues and quirks takes his family to an old …
Black Butler: Season One, Anime
Okay, so I just finished season one of Black Butler and I am having such an emotional turmoil. I have developed such a strong emotional attachment to the characters because of their distinct personalities, mainly Ciel and Sebastian (the master and the butler, respectively). I absolutely love this series …
Movie : 3000 Miles to Graceland
3000 Miles to Graceland is a comedic action movie starring Courteney Cox, Kurt Russell, and Kevin Costner. It is a mindless shoot I’m a movie with some genuinely funny moments. The best part of the movie was that it didn’t take itself too seriously —“ there was a serious …
Stranger Than Fiction (R, 1999)
This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …
Movie: Monster in the Closet
My wife and I were in the mood for a horror movie the other night but, since we both were kind of tired and wouldn’t enjoy some of the blockbusters we had at our disposal, we ended up watching something from the 1980s that we thought would be a …
James And The Giant Peach
James And The Giant Peach is a great story about a Boy who goes on a great adventure and finds a Giant Peach. He also meets many cool friends on his adventure. I really think this is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. The …
Quinceaneara (R, 2005) movie
Quinceanera is a really complex film that has several different layers. Those who have no idea what a Quinceanera is, should understand that it is very much like a Sweet Sixteen or a Bar Mitzvah in U.S. culture. The Quinceaneara is really just the foundation for the …
Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …

Disney’s Robin Hood
Anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan of the Robin Hood legend I am. Those same people know what a huge Disney fan I am also. I should be in hog heaven then, when, along comes the marriage of both into one feature animated film.
All I can …
Serious Moonlight Movie (2009)
Serious Moonlight is a movie that aspired to be so much more than it actually ended up being. It had an amazing cast on board: Justin Long, Kirstin Bell, Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, and they have done a really good job. But the plot, starting the concept level …

Zombieland: Movie
I didn’t quite know what to expect from Zombieland, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be pretty entertaining and thought it was to be one of the better comedies to come out of the last few years.
I love end-of-the-world type cinema …
The Langoliers movie
As a young child, one of my scariest memories was made as a result of watching the movie “The Langoliers” one night. I was not able to get the images of giant meatball-like creatures with moving razor sharp teeth out of my head, and often had dreams about them. …
House Of Voices
Speaking of horror and haunting movies, this one title, House Of Voices sits in the list of mine as being pretty boring and bland. I’ve watched it with my friends and if I’m not mistaken, this movie was before 2005 or 2006.
The story is about this particular woman who …
Reindeer Games (2000)
A tale of deceit and deception takes viewers on a seemingly wild ride into the world of criminals plotting to rib a casino. How it all began, two cellmates in prison, assumed friends and always looking out for each other on the inside, came to and end when one …
Four Brothers Mark Wahlberg
This is one of my favoite movies. I have always been a fan of Mark Wahlberg and he did an excellent job in this film. His tough exterior and gritty attitude was just what this movie needed. He and his other three brothers are on a mission to find …
What Happens in Vegas
Reading the description of What Happens in Vegas, you would assume it is like many other romantic comedies that have come out over the years, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the more dramatic The Breakup. But, after watching it last night, I have to …
The Last Samurai film
“Nations like men sometimes have their own destiny”. Each tradition owns a unique beauty and in Edward Zwick’s best epic film the main emotional strings sing under the aerie tranquility of the spirit of Japan.
Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is hired to take out the forces of …
Bad Bascomb movie
From 1946, Bad Bascomb stars Wallace Beery in the title role of outlaw Zed Bascomb and young Margaret O’Brien as Emmy, a child who warms his heart even though that is the last thing that he ever wanted.

Inventive independent filmmaker Hal Hartley here gives us a story focused around lonely people who try their best not the appear lonely. A young girl who works at the local library falls in love with a young man who comes there to visit.
A rather simple story that doesn’t have …
Hot Shots Part Deux
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …
Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
Mean Girls
In the movie “Mean Girls” we see the actress, Lindsay Lohan learning how to be mean after she starts to get a hard time at school. “Mean Girls” is a good teen movie; however it doesn’t represent the best interpretation from Lindsay Lohan.
“Mean Girls” portraits a situation that really …
Spider-man (2002)
One of the few comic book remakes into a like action movie that was good to me. Spider-man played by Tobey Maguire, is so believable and so imaginative, it is amazing. This movie shows how he gained his spider powers, although, in the comic, he gained his powers in …
Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …
Regal White Oak Stadium 14
I love this movie theater. It is located in a shopping center complex, where I can easily eat at a fast food or sit down restaurant before or after the movie, and also do some shopping. It is usually crowded, so I have to walk a little ways to …
The Trojan War movie
When I first read the description for the Trojan War I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. In fact, the only reason I even decided to watch it is it was too early to go to bed and there was nothing else on.
After watching it, I …
The September Issue (2009)
‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …
Film Exodus
In 1960, a very dramatic and long film named Exodus was released. It’s intense and poignant as it tells the story of the founding of Israel. At the center is the Ben Canaan family. Lee J. Cobb is the elder Ben Canaan, a man who believes …
Twilight: Eclipse
Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …
Evita (1996)
Evita, directed by Alan Parker is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for thematic elements, images of violence and some mild language.

The Hurt Locker (2009) movie
Well after hearing some word that this movie was one of the best of 2009 I had to watch it for myself to see if the hype was true. I have to say they were not lying this movie was great.
I will not ruin the story but pretty …
Wanted DVD
I was not familiar with Wanted. So when I and a friend of mine decided to watch it, I really had nothing to expect (except for a very hot Angelina Jolie, which is very obvious on the DVD cover).
The moment the movie started, I was instantly hooked. James McAvoy, …
Movie : Teen Wolf (1985)
Going through a bit of a retro phase lately has made me notice just how much the overall movie industry hs changed over the years. And after re-watching the Michael J. Fox movie TEEN WOLF I hate to quote such a common saying but ‘they just don’t make them …
