Football is a predominantly male affair. Fighting pseudo-fans it’s practically the only guy thing. Thus, in theory, for making a film on this subject should take a representative of sex ugly. And what if woman decides to tell us the story of hooligans ? Such is the case, “Hooligans”, …

Singin’ in the Rain is a really good musical from 1952 that continues to thrill audiences all these years later. People remember this movie and the awesome dance sequences staged by star Gene Kelly, who also director along with Stanley Donen. I always think about Patrick Swayze …

The other day I went and saw Momma Mia in the theatre with one of my friends. It was a fun time. There were several actors in the play with whom I was already familiar, but their roles were very unexpected.
On paper, the movie doesn’t seem very good …

Girl, Interrupted is a very good attempt by the makers of the movie. The movie which is inspired by the book with the same title, deals with a teenage girl’s experiences at a rehabilitation center during her 18 month stay there. Though the movie doesn’t have a universal appeal, …

Meet the Fockers is crazy, wild and hilariously funny! I could never summarize this movie enough. It has a very superb cast and I really must praise the Director and everyone making this movie because it has made me so happy watching it each time. The …

Sin City the movie is directed by Robert Rodriguez and is based on hot comic novels by Frank Miller. Rodriguez brings to life the work of Miller and is not like any movie I have ever seen. The cinematography is brilliant and artistic. Most of the movie is shot …

Bela Lugosi is once again out for blood in Return Of The Vampire, produced in 1944 by Columbia pictures. This is one of my favorite vampire movies, and I still remember seeing it on late night TV in my youth.
Lugosi plays Armand Tesla, the “depraved Romanian scientist” …

Problem Child, taken from the pages of a comic book and tv series and tossed unto the silver screen with hopes of getting a hugh payday. This movie was a disaster from the very first time time it was even considered as being put into production for a feature …

I went and seen the Hangover movie today, with a bunch of friends it suppose to be hilarious. I went with an open mind although it is suppose to be a guy’s type of movie, a guy’s worst case scenario in my opinion, but my friends were really interested …

The 1989 movie entitled, “She Devil” was not only one that I think many people can relate, but was a fun and entertaining movie that made me laugh out loud countless number of times. This is a movie that was made quite some time ago, so I realize that …

I went to see the movie “Casino Royale” two days ago. I had heard that it had received good reviews, but I didn’t expect too much, based on previous James Bond movies. I was pleasantly surprised! The plot had been thoroughly modernized, but had plenty of …

This is probably the best story action movie I have seen in a long time so far. I mean there are many action movies nowadays but “Taken” have taken my attention. I can feel the intensity and the urge of every fight seen and ever wonder if there is …

Sequels, especially Disney sequels, rarely make it, and this one is no exception. Even casting greats like Bette Davis and Christopher Lee was not enough to make this film anything but blaise. This was one story that should have remained untold, leaving Escape To Witch Mountain to stand on …

This is a movie that I really got roped into seeing. My friend was very interested in seeing it, and he basically insisted that I had to see it with him. I had never even heard of it, so I had absolutely no idea what it was about. So …

2012 was heavily advertised around where I lived, so I was pretty excited when it came out and I immediately rushed to watch it. After all, a doomsday film that sounded pretty promising (Mayans were the ones to predict this doomsday, which I had assumed would mean that the …

British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …

This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …

While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …

A film about the controversial english author and poet Oscar Wilde who had to flee his home country when he openly declared himself as a homosexual. Stephen Fry is absolutely perfect as the exceedingly clever Wilde, and the rest of the cast is also impressive, especially Jude Law. One …

In Cowboy Bebop, episode 2, cool dog’s strut is a marvelous excuse of a waste of time. Keeping up with Cowboy Bebop’s unparalleled style, the entire episode seems to be an excuse to write in Rin. Who is our new lovable bioengineered welsh carrier, that seems to hog …

Love and Death is a very silly 1972 movie written and directed by the fantastic Woody Allen and I just re-watched it yet again. It cheered me up for at least three days after watching it, especially as the scene —˜No, you must be Don Fransisco’s sister’ kept …

The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …

American Gangster is a movie that I went to this last weekend and I spent $22 for me and my girlfriend to see this over hyped movie and I was very dissapointed in it. The movie stars Denzel and so I thought it would be good but I found …

It literally took me years to decide I was going to watch the movie “No Reservations’. This was because I thought that I wouldn’t love it even though one of my favourite actresses, Catherine Zeta-Jones was playing one of the leads. This was because I had seen it being aired …

There is no way, no way on the green earth that you cannot love this movie. It has all the makings of true blockbuster and collected item movie. It has action, boy does it have action. It has drama that will bring tears to your eyes (bawling even). It’s …

My winter holiday began last week and after months and months of toil and mental abuse offered freely and in great quantities by the glorious educational system, I decided that there would be no greater way to commence the days of pseudo-freedom than going to see a movie. And …

36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …

Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …

This is a great movie for a day that you want to just kick your feet back and relax, maybe laugh a little. It was really funny in some parts, other parts were just ok funny. I really enjoyed watching it, and bought the movie. I would watch it …

I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Lone Ranger” some time earlier on this year, but there was something about it that did not make me interested in seeing the movie, despite the fact that the actor Johnny Depp was playing a main character. I figured out …

BoogeyMan is an OK movie. I think the reason so many people watched it and liked it was because we all used to believe in the BoogeyMan at one time in our life. This is what made me think this movie was going to be scary. The preview also made …

I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …

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 …

When it comes to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Conan the Destroyer is always the first one that comes to mind.
A sequel to Conan the Barbarian, this one is a bit more kid friendly but still has plenty of action and interesting monsters to keep everyone entertained.
In the movie, Conan is …

This was part two of the dvd two pack that my dad recently purchased so I decided to watch this one too. He said he had seen it before and that he enjoyed it so that sounded good enough for me to check it out.
The plot of this …

I have read the entire series of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and have a strange love for them. They are filled with misfortune and woe, but at the same time a mystery, suspense, and little joys and happiness that make it absolutely fantastic. The movie was—¦well—¦a disaster. …

“The Italian job” is one of my all time favourites film. I think I must have watched this movie at least 5 times and I still keep watching from time to time. Although it is a remake of an older version released in 1969, this action movie has got …

In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …

I watched this movie not to long ago. Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts all played in Charlie Wilson’s War. It was about the cold war, Afghanistan and Russia. It was entertaining and kept me interested the whole movie. I think it probably could have ended better. I felt …

As a young girl and teenager, I watched Journey for Margaret all the time. It was a wonderful, touching film that always made me cry. It’s been years since I’ve seen it, but I just finished watching it again. Turner Classic Movies is showing Margaret O’Brien …
