“Hot Tub Time Machine” (2010) Film
The Movie is called “Hot Tub Time Machine” that title alone tells you what type of movie it is. No one would name an Oscar contender something so stupid. This is a movie whose producers are aware that it is a comedy and it is a …
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is a really good movie. I really enjoy this movie because I have been a fan of the Ninja Turtles since it was a cartoon TV show. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 has some great martial arts moves and fights. I really liked the music …

Movie Blast
When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …
Rhapsody in August movie
One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …

I am totally fascinated about this movie. That may be because prior to watching, I never had any idea what this was all about. And that turned out to be everything I have never imagined that I would be seeing in this movie. I may …
A beautiful mind film
A beautiful mind is a great movie and it deserved all the academy awards it got. It is one of those movies which leaves the viewer with a little pain after watching the movie. Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly starred in this classic movie and Russell Crowe is at …
Deep Blue Sea
Have you guys ever watched the movie Deep Blue Sea which I think was ‘hot’ during 1999..? I caught it on TV the other day and comparing this to Jaws, both have their own ‘uniqueness’, sense of overwhelming danger and suspense.
There is also LL Cool J in …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …
Final Destination, movie
Death is alive and well in this film about teenagers dealing with a recent tragedy and trying to survive a fate that was written in stone. “Final Destination” is more than just a film with some creative killings; it’s a movie where death is personified without being a physical …
Child’s Play (movie)
Child’s Play is one of the first horror movies I saw as a kid. I will always remember this scary movie. Child’s Play is the reason I hate dolls and anything that looks life like. The story is about a killer who is about to die. But before he dies …
Brief Crossing (NR, 2001) film
Director Catherine Breillat is one of the most underrated directors of all time. Her films will appeal to women because of their intimate nature. But men will love her movies because they are filled with beautiful women and some pretty intense romantic situations. In this movie, …
Baby Mama
I just recently watched this movie. Overall it was a pretty good movie. In the beginning I thought it wasn’t going to be all that funny. After watching all of it though it was pretty funny. I think that it would have been more on the hilarious part if …

When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …
Transporter 3
I must say that the —˜Transporter’ films are my favourite Jason Statham’s movies together with ‘The Bank Job’. I believe that with ‘Transporter 3′ the director, Olivier Megaton and writers, Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen managed to put together the right ingredients that made this movie series so …

Basically, this movie focused on the Leapfrog frogs and the fact Tad had to cope with his family expecting …
Eat, Pray, Love Movie
Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …
Home Alone movie
The original and still the best. This side-splitting comedy tells the tale of a kid who thought he had wished his family away. Enjoying his spoils he indulges his child-like appetite like only a kid can. Meanwhile, two buglars are rampaging through the neighborhood stealing all in their path …
And Then She Found Me movie

The Others Nicol Kidman Movie
The Others, enjoys the wonderful play of Nicole Kidman. The nice fact about this movie is, you should watch the film until the last second to know what has really happened. Nicol Kidman’s acting is really, admirable, as ever. Beside her natural beauty, her mastery in acting attracts you …

The Rock movie
The Rock is one of the best action movie that I ever saw. It’s starred by Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
The Karate Kid 2010
I had watched the original Karate Kid movies a few tens of times over my life and I really loved them. It was hard for me going to watch the new Karate Kid movie (The Karate Kid 2010), mainly because I was expecting a re-run of the original movie …

The September Issue (2009)
‘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 …
Last Holiday movie
Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …

The Day After Tomorrow
This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …
Toy Story 3 Movie (2010)
In all the toy story movies I have ever watched, this was the most emotional and dramatic ever! My first comment is - it’s not really for kids, they wouldn’t even understand half of what’s going on, second, it’s cartoons for adults, the jokes are for adults, the punchlines, …

Wilderness (R, 2006) movie
If you think that this is going to be just another of those teen slasher flicks–you’re sadly mistaken. This film is ruddy, rugged, brutal, and suspenseful, all the to credit of the director, effects artists, and good actors. In reading the opening credits, I realized that …
Movie Zoolander
Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.
This is easily one of Ben Stiller’s best movies. I love how he plays a male super model who …
The movie P.S. I love you
I absolutely can’t stand the movie P.S. I love you because it is so stupid and it delivers a stupid message to women. The movie is about a young married couple and the husband dies and she than receives letters from her husband who wrote them all before he …
Hannah Montana: The movie
As embarrassed as I am to admit I actually watched this movie, I have to say that it was not as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, when I first heard that there would be a movie for that silly show that many of my younger …

The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …

The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …
Nebraska (comedy drama)
If you like family dramas, independent films and road trip movies like me, you might find yourself liking the movie Nebraska. It’s different from a lot of other films I’ve seen, the plot is exciting even though it’s simple and it strives to be realistic.
When the movie begins, we see …
Pretty Woman movie
Last night, I watched Pretty Woman again for the nth time. I still love the movie as much as I did the first time I saw it. In fact, I’d say that I’d loved it more now.
Pretty woman is a story of a prostitute whose life is about to …
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York movie
The movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was the sequel and successor to one of the biggest hit movies of the 20th century, “Home Alone”. Of course, like many other sequels with very successful prequels, this movie didn’t do well as the first. Nevertheless, it was still …
