OK, I’ve always thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was much better in comedies than dramas (with a few exceptions). But, the movie Way of War does more than prove me right about that.
This movie, which casts Gooding as a special operations assassin, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think they …

Remember watching Hugh Grant’s performance in Four Weddings And A Funeral the movie..? Well, I loved it very much and I could still remember this very delightful story.
Imagine you liking and admiring someone and having to find out the person you like has to go away the …

I am a big fan of any movie that is science fiction of fantasy in genre, so this review will reflect that bias. Let me also just say if it gets to ’sciencie’ and over my head I may not enjoy it. Give me good visuals, characters …

This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …

Since we are past Thanksgiving and officially in the Holiday season, I allowed my daughter to finally watch some Christmas movies I loaded on the Netflix player. One of them was The Christmas Dinosaur.
The movie turned out to be somewhat farfetched and predictable but was still an enjoyable animated …

Quote: “Saying Twilight is good because it’s popular would be like saying Herpes is good because a lot of people have it.”
First of all, bad acting, the movie seemed rushed and the characters didn’t seem like they were in character. I was waiting for someone to say…”just kidding!”
Edward seemed …

Hard Cash with Christian Slater, Val Kilmer, Daryl Hannah, Verne Troyer, and Sara Downing.
Whoever said that Christian Slater can be the lead role in any movie? He is so one dimensional that few movies stand a chance of surviving his subpar performances. Val Kilmer …

One of my favourite movies has got to be “Dirty Girl” starring Juno Temple. This was because of four main reasons. The first was the plot which I thought was very interesting even though it wasn’t particularly unique; the second was how it was filmed which I guess had …

Supposedly, this is a sequel to “Butterfly Effect” with Ashton Kutcher; in reality, it is more of an attempt to remake BE-1, for whatever reason. Kutcher isn’t there, in fact there is no connection with the previous story / characters. There are no blackouts, either. A totally different guy …

I’m a child of the 70’s. Yes, that means I was a *child* in the 70’s, so I never really was into Abba much. I just remember bopping to ‘Dancing Queen’ at the school disco (wearing my Mum’s incredibly psychodelic maxi dress if I remember correctly) so I was …

Tough cop played by Sylvester Stallone is visited by his mother played by Estelle Getty and she does what all mothers do, she interferes with his life. She follows him around and gets in his way and even tries to help out when she thinks he needs help, but …

Peter Sellars returns to the roll of Inspector Clouseau after having seen him last in the popular Shot in the Dark. The plot of Return of the Pink Panther finds things pretty well back to normal. Dreyfus is still Clouseau’s boss, even after having taken drastic measures to dispose …

I have recently decided to allow netflix, the online movie rental company to chose my movies for me. I tell it which movies I enjoyed and it makes recommendations. I enjoyed Ginger Snaps and Session 9 and it gave me the hamiltons as a suggestion. I …

I recently caught this Spanish movie Pan’s Labyrinth. A “fairy tale” set in the backdrop of WW2, in the mountains of Spain where the Facist regime was trying to stamp out the rebellion and the Allies were waging war against the Nazis in Europe.
The fairy tale line is about …

When the movie Stuck in the Suburbs came on television last night, my first thought was “Great, another teenaged chick flick.” But, after watching it simply because there was nothing better on, I discovered it was actually a pretty good movie.
The Disney Channel Original centers around two girls …

I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …

Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
While some parts of the movie are a bit dumb, this film, overall, isn’t too bad.
You have an all …

My one year old daughter absolutely loves this movie. We have the DVD and I believe we have watched this movie atleast twenty times. She adores the dancing and singing and gets the happy feet herself as she dances non stop to the musicals. I myself love the humor …

This was definately a movie that I remember. I really enjoyed watching the whole movie. The whole thing was entertaining and exciting to watch. The two main characters were very good together in the movie and I really enjoyed watching each other act in the movie. It’s a great …

From the Director of Hard Candy, comes a not so average vampire flick. Produced by Sam Raimi who brought you the Evil Dead series. This movie isn’t life changing, but it absolutely deserves a watch!
This film captured my interest for the sheer fact it was a vampire movie! Over …

Ghost Hunt is a Japanese Anime that is very different from other animes, it’s about paranormal activity. Cherami Leigh is the voice actress for high school student Mai Taniyama, who likes to tell ghost stories to her classmates. One day, a young man shows up at her …

Although this movie was found to be corny and unhorrifyingly unsuspenseful by some members of my family, I found this too scary and I was really scared watching this movie. This movie had come out in 2007 but it was only shown last year in our country and I …

It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …

I’ve recently taken up going through some of my friend’s cheesy horror DVDs and this was one of those he had on one labeled “After Dark Horrorfest 2009″. Despite the fact that this was the best movie out of all the movies in that collection, I still think the …

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 …

Starring: Jennifer Carpenter (Angela Vidal), Steve Harris (Scott Percival), Jay Hernandez (Jake), Jonathan Schaeh (George Flectcher)
It was believed to be good, a first person story seen through the lenses of a camera; it proved otherwise. Remakes, as usual, often do not measure up to the …

In all the toy story movies I have ever watched, this was the most emotional and dramatic ever! My first comment is - it’s not really for kids, they wouldn’t even understand half of what’s going on, second, it’s cartoons for adults, the jokes are for adults, the punchlines, …

“Blue Streak” is one of Martin Lawrence’s great movies. If you enjoyed his interpretation of “Big Momma’s House” films, then I can guarantee that you will definitely enjoy watching this movie which Lawrence did just a year before the “Big Momma” hit movies.
What I really liked about this movie, …

This movie starring Kate Beckinsdale and Luke Wilson, was interesting to watch. It is a bit suspenseful, with decent acting and a decent story, but the ’snuff’ factor is a bit sensationalistic and the story itself is a bit short. It is still good enough to watch and be …

“Quarantine” is one of the better horror movies that I have seen as of late. It manages to mix all the right elements, a good story, moderate violence, good acting, and a great setting that results in an excellent film. It begins with the documentary of a local firehouse …

“Take Shelter” is a well crafted, interesting film that deals with quite a few hard-pressing issues (mental illness, nature gone wild, apocalyptic fears, financial strife). I wish I liked it more, but it left me somewhat disappointed - I found many separate things to like about it, but they …

Dead Like Me: Hurry is the next installment of this science fiction series, and it’s all about being in a hurry.
One of the subplots is Joy and Clancy going through the divorce settlement process, which is never pleasant. Another subplot has Happy Time employees dealing with an efficiency …

After four long years of waiting Aamir is back as Mangal Pandey.This is a comeback for Aamir as it is Aamir and only Aamir in the whole movie and yes he has proved himself once again.But the only drawbacks of the movie as Mangal Pandey are …

A house owner has joined a deal with the firesquad executive which will enable him to get insurance money if the fire department lets his house burn to the ground. In the middle of this situation stands The Tramp, played by Charlie Chaplin of course, who knows nothing about …

The The Re-Animator is a twisted and very gory movie. This movie shows you what classic horror was all about. It has death, zombies, and very crazy experiments done in the The Re-Animator’s lab. The movie has a very spooky and sad feel to it. You get the feeling …

An early film by Seijun Suzuki in which he choses not to use any violence for a change. The story is focused on a gang of prostitutes in Japan after the World War II. They are all really broken down as humans, feeling guilt about what they do for …

MGM, the company in charge of distribution for all the James Bond films, has been steadily releasing the back catalog of the super spy’s escapades in the glorious high definition Blu-ray format.
Goldfinger, originally released in 1964, is given the HD treatment, along with a plethora of special features …

Remake of a popular TV series, this movie lacked the quality to keep me interested for even a short while. Where was the direction? It sure as hell didn’t leave me wanting more, I didn’t even want a little. This is yet another dumb movie that will fade away …

I really need to stop adding films to my netflix list after a drink of wine. I must not be much of a drinker because every time I have a drink and do so a few weeks later I get some movie I do not ever remember hearing …

I can’t help but watch animated movies with my kids, because they usually hide the remote control if they play something! Talk about manipulative kids! And so one day, I ended watching the animation “Happy Feet” with them. It’s a story of penguins of rare breed and species, losing …

I must say that I am confused when I watched Noel, the DVD movie. Luckily, I caught this on DVD instead of going to the movies for it. Starring Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and some other casts, this movie is about miracles and that …

There has been a lot of reviews about this famous movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ so why another review? Well I want to express the views of many Indians like me who dare to think different.
It is made by a British director Danny Boyle, so it may …

I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …

The movie Bridesmaids was not quiet what I thought that it would be. When I first saw the previews for the movie I was convinced that it would be absolutely hilarious. However, I have to say that although I did find that movie funny, it was not quiet the …

I enjoyed this movie since I was quite young. I was first introduced to these characters in the bok the movie was based upon, ‘By The Great Horn Spoon!’ The big disappointment to me was the great sequences on the ship were not but a blink of an eye …

The director decided to go Vintage style and so this episode is black and white. Right from the start to the end,it is in black and white. Well not much of a difference actually,because the show does not sport bright colors,which is with keeping with the theme of the …

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 …
