Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …

The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …

The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …

American Violet is a movie that I knew very little about. I had been seeing a billboard advertising it inside one of the neighborhood restaurants I sometimes frequent. This still did not really grab my attention although I am an avid movie lover.
I ended up coming across the movie …

Mary, Queen of Scots is a great movie about the Queen who held her ground and took on England and anyone else who dared defy her. Vanessa Redgrave plays Mary, and she is super in this role. I had to watch this movie in one of my history classes …

The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …

I watched the movie Revolutionary Road with a couple of friends at the movies. Since, we loved Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicarprio in the movie Titanic. This film really impressed me. The film is about love, emotion, marriage, arguments, affairs, and tragic losses etc that every couple in the …

I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …

Paul W.S. Anderson’s decision to make a movie based on the 1975 film Death Race 2000 was a strange one. Anderson’s track record isn’t the best one out their, but with the bad advertising this film got you can’t completely blame him. Now that Death Race is on DVD …

I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …

Seriously? Another coming-of-age/young adult movie? Well yes, that is what I expected when I watched this film last night.

A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …

When John Claude Van Dam and Bruce Lee introduced martial arts tournament movies to the American audience, it spawned a generation of copycat films of lesser quality. Shoot Fighter is one of these. You …

“Someone like you” is a cute romantic movie with Ashley Judd as the main actress. The best way to describe this movie is a female version of “Buying the Cow” with the actor, Jerry O’Connell in the main role. Between the two movies personally I much prefer “Buying the …

Meet the Parents was a classic. Meet the Fockers did not enjoy as much critical success as the original, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the film to complete the trilogy is as stale and pointless as any of the other third movies you can remember.

True to the series, this movie delivers just as much gore and gruesome murders as the previous five movies. However, this movie is not a sequel to the popular series but rather a prequel. As the title suggests, this movie delves into the beginning of the Hewitt family’s murderous …

Everyone has a rainy day movie, one that they like to watch when the weather outside is gray. You just warm yourself up a mug of hot cocoa, with marshmallows, stay in your pajamas, put up your feet, and enjoy the next couple of hours. For me, that movie …

The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

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 …

I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …

With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
