Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …

I have always loved a good kid’s animation, but this movie really re-defines the lines in animation. Surf’s Up had amazing graphics, great animation and detail, a great storyline, and a whole lot of good, clean humor. This is probably one of the best kids (and adult’s!) movies of …

Passengers is a 2016 film by Sony that stars Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Depending on the preview I saw before it was released, it either came across as a sci-fi adventure or a love story that happened to be set in space. My wife and I recently saw the …

There are just some books that should not be made as movies, and The Age of Adaline was one of those books. I never read the book myself and after watching the movie I probably will do my best to go out of my way just to avoid it in …

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so uncomfortable and so gripped by a movie as I did in the first hour of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. Considering I pretty much knew what was going to happen, I’d say Mr. Jackson should get all the credit he deserves.
Truly a …

Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …

‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …

A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.
This could indeed be the very definition of a …

A Smokey Mountain Christmas is a movie from the 80s that stars Dolly Parton. It is just a cute, feel good Christmas movie. It kind of has a Snow White and the seven dwarves feel to it. Dolly stars as a popular country singer who wants to get away …

My wife and I ended up blowing off our housework yesterday and watched movies all day. One of the films we saw was the 1958 classic “The Blob.”
Even though I’ve seen the sequels and remakes of the movie, I still feel this original is the best. Steve McQueen is …

Yes, I have watched Buried, a Ryan Reynolds movie directed by Rodrigo Cortés. And yes, I have watched all of it- from the very beginning to the very end. Now, if this statement sounds a bit unusual, this is why: I would never in a million years watch a …

The first time I was aware of the movie “Things We Lost in the FIre” was I think in the year 2008 when it finally premiered on a cable television movie channel. I found myself having the urge to watch the movie since it had an independent movie feel …

I like westerns very much and am always pleased when Hollywood makes another one with a high budget and good actors. I enjoyed “3:10 to Yuma”-the removie very much. I found it believable and superior to the original. “3:10 to Yuma” is a Relativity Media production, a company that …

This is the first movie, in my opinion, since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that will remain a classic for decades to come. There are not enough superlatives to describe this movie. Everything, EVERYTHING, is flawless in my eyes. The acting in unreal. The …

500 Days of Summer is quite an interesting, and unique film. I decided to watch it after hearing of comparisons with Garden State, which I loved.

I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …

There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend so my wife and I ended up watching a movie that we found on TV; Deadly Honeymoon.

Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …

Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …

You know what, this movie gets worse every time I …

Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …

I have been so attached with Oscar-bait films ever since I had that cinematic experience with Alfonso Cuaron’s 2013 space tale “Gravity”. It was beyond words, beyond everything I have ever felt before, and to truly witness it in glorious 3D screen was groundbreaking. It was then that I realized …

Haeckel’s Tale is yet another one hour short film from the Showtime Series Masters of Horror. Directed by John McNaughton I would say its definitely the weakest entry from the first season of the show and in the bottom five of both seasons of the show. John …
