Batman Begins
his was a brilliantly made entry, not only in the realm of comic book characters coming to the big screen, but in the Batman mythos itself. Sure, there were the previous films with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney, all well acted. But, with the exception of the …
Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes
Reggie goes goth in Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes, and I’m not crazy about it because she ignores her precious golden retriever, JD. While it’s a temporary condition, it simply turns me off. I don’t like animals suffering in any way due to human eccentricities.
The Daisy …
Movie Gothika
This is one of my favorite movies. The first time watching it all my focus was on the movie. It was very entertaining to watch. It kept me watching throughout the whole thing wondering what’s happening next and scared a little. It also has a very good story to …

Based on Katherine Paterson’s classic novel, this is the story of Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson), a boy who’s something of an outcast at school and at home (he is the only boy among four sisters). When a new girl moves in across the road, it’s initially bad news for …

I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …
Untraceable (R, 2009)
I must say that I love Diane Lane. She tends to have this quiet sex appeal that translates very well on screen whether she’s playing a seductive role or not. In any rate, I’m not used to seeing her in thrillers. But this particular movie was …
Half Caste (movie)
This is without doubt one of the dullest and boring movies I have ever seen. Watching this film unfold on your TV will put you to sleep. Worst, it’s supposed to be a horror movie! Horror movies as you very well know should be filled with suspense, scary moments …
Altered
I first watched this low budget movie, Altered during the year 2006. A bunch of friends had managed to return safely to their hometown but all’s not that well actually because one of them was ‘retained’ by the aliens since they chose only 1 out of them all.
I think …

Superman Returns
At last, someone returns to the heart and soul of the original Superman of 1978, with minor improvements to special effects and setting. This movie could not have been made as is back in 1978. It is a Superman for this generation and I am pleased with its arrival. …
Hellboy (2004) Movie
Adventure, action, mystery, humor and romance with a comic-book twist. What more can you ask for in this particular film. It has all the trimmings needed for a good movie. You will be delighted to want to watch this over and over again. Two thumbs up into the sky …
The Devil Wears Prada
I typically like Anne Hathaway’s movies but the Devil Wears Prada just didn’t do anything for me.
Hathaway plays an up and coming journalism student who takes an internship at a fashion magazine and finds herself going from social outcast to the favorite of her boss (played by Meryl Streep). …
Movie Master and Commander
We watched Russel Crowe the other night in a movie that came out a few years ago called Master and Commander.
Russel Crowe is another actor that I find does an extremely good job when he portrays charactors and acts. In this movie takes place during the Napoleonic …
Saving Private Ryan movie
Steven Spielberg’s oscarwinning depiction of the d-day during World War II when the american army invaded Normandy in France to fight the germans. The opening 15 minutes of the film is incredibly intense and well-directed with possibly the most realistic war scenes ever filmed. After that the film turns …

42, movie (2013)
Stories of the underestimated seem to resonate with us as a culture. When we see an underdog overcome great challenges before them, it becomes a story that becomes personal for any individual. Film has presented this archetype since its creation. Rocky, Forrest Gump, and the Mighty …
Pigs vs Freaks movie
In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …
Confessions of a Shopoholic
When I first saw the movie “Confessions of a Shopoholic” advertising to be released in theatres, I did not pay it any attention since it seemed like a silly little comedy; but when I did get to watch it some time ago, I realised that it was actually a …
Big Shots movie

Clockwork Orange, movie
Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.
When this came out back in the 1970’s, it caused quite a stir. Some howling conservatives wanted an X-rating, and when it finally did come out, maybe some people didn’t understand it, but knew it was something special. This film has …

Salt: A Film by Philip Noyce (2010)
With all the campaigns splashed in the internet about this film, it’s hard to ignore not watching it. I went out with a bunch of friends earlier and had no choice but to see this movie. Salt tells the story of a CIA official named Evelyn Salt. …

Like the Prince and me that’s similar to the 1950’s classic a Roman Holiday, this time it’s guy meets princess. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and two of the greatest screen couples in film history.
Audrey Hepburn as princess Ann …

Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun. It is the last of The Four trilogy.
I’ve finally finished my marathon of The Four trilogy and I feel—¦ nothing much. To be honest, I don’t really enjoy the trilogy as much as I expected.
There are a number of …
Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …

“Salt” 2010 action film by Phillip Noyce
Who is Salt? Apparently the female answer to James Bond, fortunately with a twist.
The film, titled simply with its protagonist’s surname, was directed by Phillip Noyce and has recently hit the cinemas. I decided to watch it looking for some simple, mindless entertainment: and while the film had a …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …
Open Season movie
Although this is a children’s movie I loved it. Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence play in it and they do an amazing job in the movie and do an amazing job acting together in it. I really laughed at some of the parts. This one of my favorite children’s …
TRON: Legacy Movie
TRON: Legacy has gotten much criticism for its messy plot, yet I had a hard time discerning what exactly some critics found so confusing. Having been a fan of the 1982 original, I found this film to be a fairly successful sequel, and a unique story on its own. …

Deja Vu DVD Movie
I am not sure if there is a Deja vu, in real life, or that time could be traced back to where we wanted things not to happen. This is the case for the movie Deja vu, which stars my favorite actor, Denzel Washington.
This movie is about Denzel, …

Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
