Duplex movie

I must admit that “Duplex” is definitely one of my Ben Stiller’s favourite movies, even though it was a cinema flop. I believe that Ben Stiller and the actress, Drew Barrymore make a great on screen couple and you simply cannot watch this movie and end up not having …

Kissing a fool

I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …

“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader” film

I am a huge “The Chronicles of Narnia” fan. I remember it as being the first book series I ever read.
I had the privilege to attend a charity screening event attended by Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley (the main actors in the film). It was an event I’ll …

Friday the 13th

My wife and I rented the remake of the movie Friday the 13th and didn’t know what to expect from it. I figured it would be roughly the same as the original but, shortly after starting it, I realized I don’t remember a thing about the original and couldn’t …

Anne of Green Gables (movie)

One of my favorite movies (second behind its sequel) is Anne of Green Gables. It was produced in 1985, and Megan Follows starred as Anne. Colleen Dewhurst played as Marilla Cuthbert, and Richard Farnsworth played Matthew Cuthbert. It was based on a book by Lucy Montgomery.
I …

It Follows (horror movie)

It Follows is a story about a monster that is sexually transmitted, and once you have him following you, he doesn’t stop until you’re dead or you transmit it to someone else. This movie is another fantastic addition to the horror genre, and is well recognized as being one of …

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

We watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets this weekend on cable. It seems that the station was promoting all the Harry Potter movies.
The Harry Potter and the Chanber of Secrets involved the usual cast of hermonine, ron and Harry. As in each movie there is …

Final Destination Movie

When I saw the preview of this movie…it looked interesting, when I saw the movie…it was awesome, when I decided to buy this movie, it was a great idea. How often do you see your own future and be horrified by it, plus have the courage to make it …

Mr. Brooks, Bruce A. Evans Movie

At first, I think, a movie with the thriller ‘Old Star’ like Kevin Costner and Demi Moore as the main stars? It feels like déjavu to 90s years? I rather disparaging. 90s era is an era where films Thriller many good outstanding (Silence of the Lambs, Single White Female, …

Sabrina

Harrison Ford is mostly known for his involvement in bringing to the big screen the “Indiana Jones” block busters; however I much prefer him in the movie “Sabrina” where Ford shows of his unique charm rather than his Indiana Jones skills. It comes to no surprise that this movie …

Braveheart movie

Being a former history major, I absolutely love movies based in historical times; especially when they are about legendary characters. Braveheart is a movie that has all the qualities I look for in a historical movie. It?s an accurate portrayal of the hero but still takes some liberties with …

George Miller’s post-apocalyptic film combines adventure and action with a message about the environment where a few years after the film is more relevant than ever.Starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron,Nicholas Hoult,Zoë Kravitz,Hugh Keays-Byrne, Rosie Huntington -Whiteley etc.

Exiled (2007)

I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …

Grizzly Rage

Grizzly Rage Starring Tyler Hoechlin Graham Kosakoski and Kate Todd
I got Grizzly Rage out because my husband and I were hoping to see a good old fashioned scary film. I have seen other movies where bears have attacked people and the bears are so fast and powerful that they …

The Messengers (movie)

I finally gave in and watched the movie The Messengers with my wife yesterday afternoon. And, even though I’ve never seen the film, I felt like I did.
The problem with The Messengers is, for a horror film, it’s really not all that scary. And, it’s because they used the …

The Forgotten movie

The Forgotten was an alright movie. I remember watching this movie. I didn’t think it was the best movie ever, but it was still cool. I liked the story a little. I think that the whole alien abduction thing was pretty cool and I must say that I did enjoy …

Nora Ephron’s “Julie and Julia” 2009 film

I’m not exactly a big cinematic buff, and tend to prefer reading to watching films. However, Nora Ephron’s much hailed Julie and Julia tempted me with excellent cast, and when a couple of my friends recommended the film to me, I was really hoping to catch it in the …

Black Dog

Black Dog is an unexpected treat. It’s a movie that I’d normally never watch or even think about seeing, except for one thing — it stars my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. Patrick made this movie right after recovering from a near fatal accident when he’d been thrown …

Superintelligence, movie (2020)

Mid-life soft comedies are a brand that Melissa McCarthy shaped and maintains to this day. At McCarthy’s instigation, as well as that of director Ben Falcone (who, by the way, is Melissa McCarthy’s husband), such films as “Big Boss” and “The Soul of the Company” appeared.

Mid-life soft …

Gone Girl - Movie (2014)

‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …

Something’s Gotta Give (2003)

I have seen it with my own eyes and on the screen as well, where older men make it their mission to date younger women, and in that light, the impressionable young woman take the ‘maturity’ of these older men and use it as a measuring stick against all …

The Postman Always Rings Twice movie

This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …

Tangled : A Hairy Tale

Disney movies are always a dose of freshness and Tangled goes much beyond that. It is one of the best animated movies from Disney so far. Though the story of the movie has the well known fairy tale “Rapunzel” as its baseline, yet it provides a captivating story line …

Mighty Aphrodite Movie

Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …

Wolverine the Movie

Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.
This first installement of I’m guessing all the X-men members origin is a very effective appetizer to X-men fans out there.
The arrogant and lonely Logan, …
