Quantum of Solace
Some says this is the best movie of the most famous secret agent 007, named James Bond. I also read from a local newspaper that Prince Charles of England watched this movie when launched at the first time. But, honestly speaking to me, this is one of the worst …

Wi-heom-han gyan-gye (Dangerous Liaisons) movie

Step Brothers, movie
Will Farrell is hilarious with John C. Reilly in this comedy of two men who somehow managed to slip through the cracks and who refuse to grow up. I don’t think that this film will win any awards for its quality, but for a laugh fest, it fit’s the …

Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.
An interesting film stylistically as it recreates the moods of old noir films in color. Compared to LA Confidential, which is similar too this one but in black and white, Devil in …
OLDBOY (2003) - Film
Before watching this film I knew nothing about it other than its name, and the fact it had won a bunch of awards. I saw the film’s poster, which although quite cool, didn’t make me want to watch the film itself. It was a good few years after its …

Disney’s Hercules
Despite the fact that this animated feature was terribly inaccurate to the Greek myth of Hercules, I liked it. Actually, I think I may have liked it even more than my kids did.
James Woods is absolutely hilarious as Hades, and all of the characters are fun and interesting. …
Jackie Brown
Quentin Tarantino takes a different route than usual with his third cinematic outing. His trademark humour and dialogue is still there, but things are a lot more casual and linear than his previous efforts.

Transformers Movie
A movie made in the likeness of a toy brand.

Cape Fear (movie)
Cape Fear was one of those movies that I had absolute faith in even before I actually knew what it was about. First of all, it was supposed to have been directed by Martin Scorsese, and nothing usually beats that since most of his movies are thrilling and timeless. …
Big Hero 6 (Movie)
I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.
Starting from the design of ‘San Fransokyo’, it is a bit weird, …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
With the previous entry in the series (Dead Man’s Chest) boasting a controversial cliffhanger of an ending, fans who saw Dead Man’s Chest were no doubt clamoring for the epic finale to the trilogy after walking out of the theater one year ago. Indeed, for me it was a …
50 First Dates movie

The stupids
The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …
Nature vs. Nurture
Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …
The Butterfly Effect 2
When I finally got around to watching the Butterfly Effect, I found myself pleasantly surprised. It was actually a pretty decent movie. Not the best movie ever made, but one that was pretty good. I liked it well enough, in fact, to encourage to me to …

Ice Princess, movie (2005)
Disney films can be characterized by the epithet “fairy tale.” And The Ice Princess is no exception: a simple, somewhat naive plot. A schoolgirl heroine, a kind of “Cinderella” who is bound to become a star at the end. There are very few movies about sports, per se. In …
Firefly
I am an ardent fan of Joss Whedon’s television shows, I have been a fan ever since the start of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and loved every moment of Buffyverse, till the story came to a dramatic conclusion in the Buffy spin-off, Angel.

I think this first movie …
A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
Tornatore is known by many as the director behind critically acclaimed Cinema Paradiso, a film which in my opinion is very overrated and relies only on sentimentality.
This is …

Hide and Seek is a very good thriller movie starring Robert De Niro and Dakota fanning. I am an avid fan of Robert De Niro’s movies and have been watching his movies for many years. Though I watched this movie purely for Robert De Niro, I was surprised by …
“Jumper” (2008 film)
The 2008 film “Jumper” starring Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christenson, looked to be a great action movie that would catch the viewers attention. The actors in the film are known for many other roles in which they really shined, and I had anticipated that the same would be said …

2001 Manics Movie
While watching the movie 2001 Manics, I couldn’t help but think that it was the ultimate B-movie which I was usually so turned off of watching. It had lots of sex, gore, bad acting and young people which is what most B-movies usually has, not to mention the lack …
