National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.
Book of Secrets relies on two things; first, there is …
Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …
Death Sentence, movie
Kevin Bacon heads into new territory as a father in pain on the march for revenge. I thought that the film was close to the plot of the “Death Wish” films but was surprised that there were enough differences to make the film a decent movie. There is …
Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown
There is a brilliant spot in Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown. It’s actually a parody of the TV drama, Hill Street Blues. I recognized what was happening almost immediately. It surrounded Roxy (Jasmine Guy), who is a meter maid on the show. She …
E.T. movie
E.T. is the well-known film about an alien from outer space coming to the earth and becoming a friend to a couple of children in America. Steven Spielberg started to loose his touch from the 1970s with this film in my opinion and it’s clear he only ever made …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
I could not miss this second instalment of Madagascar for the world as I had simply loved the first one. I caught this with my cousin and went with a high expectation, especially after the fantastic part 1. After all, the trailers for part 2 was also equally impressive …

The Spider man is another kind of action cum fun filled entertaining movie, which we all liked. Recently when I had been to Bangalore city, I had gone to the theatre to watch the movie Spiderman 3. My son is just 4 years old and he does …

Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …

He is just not that into you
I must say that although I am a girl I don’t like romantic movie, I prefer Transformers to Titanic, and I’ll rather watch Matrix ten times in a row than to watch a Jennifer Lopez Cinderella story movies. But I really liked He is just not that into you. …
Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …
Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …
Must Love Dogs movie
Personally I enjoy watching Diane Lane’s and John Cusack’s movies and I had very high expectations for the movie “Must Love Dogs”. Although it is a great movie with Cusack giving one of his ‘crazy’ performances, however the film could have been much better if much more work on …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
The Last Legion
I admit I only watched this film because I couldn’t imagine the actor, Colin Firth in the role of a Roman Commander. I just couldn’t picture him on big screen after watching him in the role of the prim and proper Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of “Pride and Prejudice” or …
Alvin and the chipmunks
I watched this movie with my little sister a couple of weeks ago. It was good for the most part but I did notice that I was a little more interested in the movie than she was. I thought that it was a very cute kids movie and really …

Highschool Musical 3 The Movie
Highschool Musical 3 The Movie
Highschool Musical is one of the movie I mostly waited. This movie ever since the movie hasn’t started I was sad because I know this is the last installment. Can we have a College Musical? Why do musical have to be in Highschool only?

Final Destination 3 movie
When I saw the previews for Final Destination 3, I remember thinking the producers were overkilling on an otherwise great franchise. When I watched the movie on DVD, I found I was right.
The plot of the movie seemed a bit forced and was confusing from the start. Beginning with …

RomeoXJuliet Episode 20 begins with Juliet being revealed as the Red Whirlwind and Lord Montague ruthlessly counters her resistance by taking over the council. Meanwhile, the origins behind Juliet’s mysterious fainting spells are revealed.

Couples Retreat (2009) movie
Couples Retreat is a new comedy that was recently released. I saw it in theaters and saw it again recently on Dvd so I though I would write up a review on it.
It is the story of four couples who all have there own issues. Two are thinking …
Howl’s Moving Castle
“Howl’s Moving Castle” did not take a step forward for Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio is renowned for excellent story
telling, and stunning animation, but this latest film is not quite an advancement. Past films like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Ponpoko,” “Kiki’s
Delvery service” and “Spirited Away,” each brought more creative …

Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …
Movie: You’re in the Army Now
Since it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend I had an opportunity to watch a lot of military movies. One of them was the comedy “You’re in the Army Now.”
This movie, which starred Phil Silvers and Jimmy Durante as a couple of sales people who wind up in …
Movie AVP
I recently saw this movie for the first time and truthfully I didn’t like it very much at all. In case you don’t know, “AVP” stands for “Alien Versus Predator”. I did remember the alien from the Alien series of films, but I didn’t recall the Predator at all. …
Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.

Paranormal Activity 2 movie
Horror films scare me very much no matter how weak they are. So I’ll try to analyze as objectively Paranormal Activity 2 detaching myself from my “spectacular” feelings. Paranormal Activity 2 is a combination of the first prequel and sequel. It is a movie that scares the weak of …
Stephen King’s The Mist
This is one of the most recent of the Stephen King adaptations to hit the big screens, but I have to say that it isn’t one of the best. 1408 was one of the scariest movies I have seen in quite some time, but the Mist just didn’t …
The Thomas Crown Affair (1999 version)
I believe that Pierce Bronsnan is mostly known for his interpreation in the James Bond movies, however I think that “The Thomas Crown Affair” is a great movie project for this actor. I believe that Brosnan interpreation of the role of Thomas Crown with a good mix of charm, …
Pretty Woman
A beautiful hooker. A handsome millionaire. The situation just breeds romance.
Julia Roberts plays a fantastic breakout role as a romantic comedy actress. She never falters, always drawing you into her character and making you fall in love with her at every laugh, every tear, every mishap. Richard Gere does …
The Clinic 2010 movie
As far as a horror movie goes this is every women’s nightmare. I didn’t find this film either jumpy neither scary but i found it utterly disturbing. The thought that some of those things can happen in real life, that places like this existed was disturbing enough without having …

Turistas (UR, 2006) movie
I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie because there are just so many slasher films out there where the “teen/college” kids get offed one by one. The difference that sets this film apart is the fact that the filming and action seem more realistic than …

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
I love movies. I love them. They are one my passions in life. “Alien” and “Aliens”, along with “Predator” are incredibly frightening, hardcore movies which I enjoy with every bit of fanboyish delight that they deserve. So it would make sense that if you take …
Split Second movie
Science Fiction comedy about a man played by Rutger Hauer who goes to look for a hideous monster in London and kill it.
Rutger Hauer is one of the absolutely coolest actors ever in my opinion, but this film is really way to thin and unlogical to convince me. Hauer …
