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. …
Shaadi No.1
Shaadi No.1 is a comedy movie.The story is narrated around three husbands, three wives and three girl friends. I think the story is clear. David Dhawan, the director of the movie, showed the consequences that could be faced by husbands, if they cheat their wives and lag behind girl …
The Phantom (Movie)
The Phantom is a movie that stands out in my mind as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sadly though my memories never actually live up to the real movie. Every few years I re-watch the movie, and every time I end up feeling a …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
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 …

Ron Santo is my favorite baseball Broadcaster by far and one of my favorite baseball players ever. For those who don’t know him “This Old Cub” tells the story of Ron Santo, first as an all-star third baseman for the Chicago Cubs; then as a longtime broadcaster for WGN …
Open Season
This movie, more or less, is a buddy film, reminiscent of The Emperor’s New Groove. It is not so much a story of survival, as both animals are in their elements. Even though Boog is a fat, pampered, domesticated animal, none of the other animals in the forest are …
Three Wishes movie
In 1995, director Martha Coolidge gave us a really wonderful and magical motion pictured called Three Wishes. It captures our imaginations and takes our hearts on a wondrous adventure. Just like the tagline says, if you really believe, magic will find you, and it does, here in …
Wall-E
When the movie Wall-E first came out, i figured it was going to be just like any other over-hyped animated movie. So, I didn’t bother watching it until very recently. As it turns out, the movie is actually one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
The film, which is …

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …
Perfume The Story of a Murderer (2006)
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer stars Ben Wilshaw as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille who was born into the revolting street smells of eighteenth century Paris with an obsession with scents and with little else filling his head. I am not usually attracted to films that are described as a …

The Backyard is a straight-to-DVD movie documentary following the sub-culture of Backyard Wrestling, a sub-category of the prfssional wrestling you see on television.

The Big Short (2015 Film)
As the days become smaller until the Oscars ceremony this coming February 28, I have become so anxious to watch every movie that is nominated.
The Big Short is currently one of the frontrunners of the race, and it is very hard to miss a frontrunner, otherwise you would blame yourself …
American Honey (2016 Drama Road Film)
Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …
Film Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Living in the shadow of its critically accalimed sibling Mary Poppins, Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks has often gotten a pretty unfair deal. Critics have been apt to compare it unfavorably to Mary Poppins, citing that it is unable to conjure the same magic even though it concerns an apprentice …
A Boy and His Dog (1975)
This is one of those post apocalypse science fiction movies, set in the year 2024 after World War Four. The world we see is a bleak wasteland, mostly desert and rock. People dig in the sand for old cans of food and there is one tiny town where the …
In Her Shoes (movie)
In Her Shoes made me like Cameron Diaz. For whatever reasons, I have never been impressed with this actor and just didn’t think that much of her. In Her Shoes changed my mind. While I still do not consider Cameron Diaz to be one of my favorite actors, she …
Movie Waiting…
Don’t make my mistake and watch the movie “Waiting ” I don’t know why I actually bothered to spend two hours of my time watching a movie that did go any where! I should have stopped the movie the moment I saw Ryan Reynolds on the screen. I saw …

A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
The Bucket List
It is hard to make a comedy where your main premise centers around two men who are dying of cancer. Still, they tried with The Bucket List.
Not only did they try, but they kind of succeeded. Both leads, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, play characters …
Cinderella movie
Compared to the thousands of other Disney films that have come out since, Cinderella is far from the best animated film ever made. However, it’s still a real treat to watch whenever you have a family movie night.
Of the dozens of re-tellings of the Cinderella story, Disney’s version is …
True Lies
I really liked the movie True Lies, I thought this film was very and it had a good storyline. I really liked the whole secret agent thing, and agents are always pretty exciting. I think the whole storyline about how the agent’s wife was cheating on him is not that …
Hoodwinked Anne Hathaway & Glenn Close
Who ever thought the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” could ever be so complexed. This movie was so intensely funny. Just when you thought you had it figured it out, it took another turn. I enjoyed it so much and laughed constantly. I like a complex story. I …
Knocked Up
Knocked Up is an honest, down-to-earth movie about a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. From its title, you can sense the bluntness that is also throughout the film. The dialogue it truly funny and easy to associate with because it feels like stuff your friends would really say in …

Movie on Kingdom of Heaven

Open Road movie
I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …
Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.
I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …

A Christmas Carol
One of the first movies I ended up watching on Christmas Eve was George C. Scott’s version of Ebeneezer Scrooge in the 80s remake of A Christmas Carol. And, in my opinion, this remains one of the better tellings of the classic story.
Scott is perfect as Scrooge. He’s the …
Flowers in the Attic (2013 movie)
Growing up as a teenager I loved reading books that were written by the author V. C. Andrews. I was always fascinated by the plots and the female main characters of her stories, even though she’d been dead for longer than I’d been around. While there were always new …

Film Valkyrie
Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …
Employee Of The Month
