I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”
You know what, it really wasn’t as good as I remember it being.
I usually love Martin’s movies. But, this one, where he plays a long-nosed fire chief who is in …

Possibly the most highly anticipated film of 2010 so far is finally here. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is a dark re-imagining of both Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Alice Through the Looking-Glass.” The film boasts a star-studded cast as well as appealing visual effects and costume …

I love the movies that give you something to think about. Sometimes I watch the movies that might disgust me or make me cry, but those movies cause more emotions than any horror movie, watched alone in the darkness. “To the bone” is one of those movies that give you …

I first saw the trailer for the animated movie Zootopia when I went to the movies to watch something else. At the time I got the impression that it wasn’t really going to be anything more than a very funny children’s movie perhaps with one or two parts that adults …

In the months leading up to The Dark Knight, I had heard so much about the film from people who love Batman saying things like “this is the way batman is supposed to be” and that “Chris Nolan is one of the best movie makers around”. Needless to say …

This is the first entry in what was to become a very long and hugely successful series of Star Trek films starring the cast from the 1960s TV shows. As such, I think that any Star Trek fan will want to watch it, but perhaps not all that many …

Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …

Where do they get these ideas from? An Arab travels to the north countries where he is chosen to accompany 12 Viking warriors on a mission to seek out and destroy a dark evil. Antonio Banderas plays the role of the ill-fated Arab with his long-winded name…I wouldn’t even …

After watching the first “Iron Man”, I knew that I would have to watch the second one, which came out in 2010. “Iron Man 2” was not only as well acted and plotted out as the first one, but delivered an even more powerful character conflict and a very …

Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …

This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …

After a long while, I’m back here, just to write a short review about the film “Alexander” from Oliver Stone. The film is about Alexander the Great.

It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …

I have loved Abba songs as a young girl and it was a nice surprise to find out that a movie has been made using some of their songs. Later I discovered that the movie was actually based on a successful stage musical! (Wish I could watch that someday).
We …

I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …

After the terrible versions that came before it, I was frightened that Batman Begins would continue on that downward spiral of failure. I had hopes that it would not because of the amount of time that there was between the two failure films and this one, as well as …

It seems that Ben Afflick liked to work a lot with his lovers. “Bounce” is the drama movie he made with his then girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow. He also did two movies - “Jersey Girl” and “Gigli” - with his later on lover, Jennifer Lopez. To add to this, he …

Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …

This is definitely not one of Robert Aldrich’s …

In the year 2007, I would have thought that a more in depth methamphetamine documentary could have been made. Kudos to the creators for casting Val Kilmer as the narrator. His voice has plenty of presence, and you forget that it’s even him speaking. However, this …

The movie had a power house cast. It includes Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo, Alicia Keys and Dakota Fanning. Set in the late 1964, the story recalls ethnical atrocities and family disorientation.
The story basically centers on the misery of Lily Owens ( Dakota Fanning ) who is …

I have been waiting for Disney DVD to bring us Gargoyles for a long time! As much as I enjoyed Season 1, I was really looking forward to Season 2 because, plot-wise, that is when the series really hit its stride.
If you don’t know anything about Gargoyles, it …

Some movies I enjoy because they are well made. They either have superior production values, such as “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series, or the plots are exciting, or the actors are engaging. Then there are some movies that I elevate to a special class: those that have something …

This movie was much talked-about and I wasn’t really into these type of movies since they’re much more of a guy’s type of movie but since there wasn’t anything else showing in the cinema except for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Beastly, of course I opted to watch …

Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …

I’m not the biggest fan of sports movies, generally speaking. However, the movie “A League of Their Own” stands alone as just a wonderful movie, regardless of the sports theme. I just recently viewed the film for the second time on one of my satellite movie networks, …

The magic of Boogie-Woogie Dream, a 1944 movie short, comes in the form of newcomer, Lena Horne. She is the centerpiece and she’s worthy of the honor, too.
