Movies Reviews
The Kingdom movie
This movie started off kind of slow and boring in the very beginning. When you get into the movie though it is really good. It kept me interested in what was going on. You do kind of have to pay attention to make sure you understand it all, …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …
Krakatoa (Documentary)
I enjoy documentaries about historical events and natural phenomena, so I rented a documentary called Krakatoa.

Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
KingKong (2005)
I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …

12 Angry Men goes to show that you need special effects, huge budgets, and fancy costumes to make a good movie. All you need is great acting and a great story. 12 Angry Men is the story of a jury who is deciding the fate of a …
Quarantine, movie
“Quarantine” is one of the better horror movies that I have seen as of late. It manages to mix all the right elements, a good story, moderate violence, good acting, and a great setting that results in an excellent film. It begins with the documentary of a local firehouse …
Officer (movie), 2001
The movie Officer released in 2001. I watched it on cable. It was an okay film. I really did not like it much. But it is a nice time pass film. The leading roles in the film have been played by Sunil Shetty and Raveena Tandon. Sunil Shetty plays …
Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …

Please Don’t Eat the Daisies movie
A TV series came out of this movie production of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, starring the beautiful and talented Doris Day. Along with Day, David Niven starred. Day and Niven are a bit odd together, but it works really well. I’ve always been surprised by …

The Transporter
“The Transporter” movie was released when I was still in high school. I believe I was about fourteen years old at the time, and had to listen to most of my friends talking about it as many of them thought the movie was exciting and adrenaline filled. I found …
John Carter, Disney Movie

Saw IV (Unrated, 2007) movie
I was not a fan of the Saw movies at first. But by the time the third one was due to be released, I had a newfound respect. This is because I like the way the director and writers have pulled together all three stories into one …
Bob the Butler movie
I ended up finally watching the movie Bob the Butler this past weekend. It was on my Netflix player but I never took the time to watch it because I am not a huge Tom Green fan and thought it would end up being kind of dumb.
It turned out …

The other day I had nothing to do so I called a couple of my friends to go out and watch a movie. We got to the Famous Players at Metropolis and watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World; a movie I had been dying to see. The movie is …
The Painted Veil
I am absolute biased in writing this review because in adore Edward Norton’s work, give it that he may interpret the worst of criminals or the best of lovers. I find that Norton has got a lot of passion in his work and really tries to give his best …
Just My Luck movie
Lindsey Lohan isn’t exactly a star that draws me to a movie, so when we got Just My Luck from Netflix I was a bit skeptical about it.
Overall though, it was a pretty good movie.
Lohan plays a woman who is extremely lucky but ends up giving an unlucky guy …
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sometimes, as you get older, movies you liked as a teenager or even as a young adult suddenly start seeming really stupid. I think that might have been the case with the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
The interesting thing about Fast Times is I used to think of …
Disturbia
I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …
You Changed My Life movie
It was Wednesday night, on the second week of the movie. I would have expected the cinema to be empty. But no, it was jam-packed a clear sign that the movie was a hit.
I have to give my praise to the scriptwriter of “You Changed My Life” …
The Dark Knight
It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …

The Forgotten
The Forgotten is a very weird and kind of spooky movie. It’s about alien abduction and it’s also very interesting how people were sucked into the sky in this movie. It was very strange and also scary at the same time. I think that the The Forgotten has a pretty …
National Treasure movies
Oh, how I love National Treasure!! These movies actually got me into studying history again - and history is fascinating! Especially at the beginnings of when the United States was formed. How exciting!! Of course I am a wierdo who will sit and read Civil War facts and Gold …
Elf
I’m still watching Christmas movies today, mostly because there isn’t a whole lot for me to do with everyone being sick and us being low on cash (yet again).
One movie that just came on that I haven’t seen in a while is the Will Ferrell film, Elf. I have …
Gilmore Girls The Complete First Season
There are not many mother-daughter stories anymore, and that is why I really love watching Gilmore Girls. This is The Complete First Season, and I have watch re-runs of it so many times, both on TV cable and on DVD.
There is just too much good acting, wonderful characters, …
Friends TV Sitcom DVD
I watched the TV show friends since my teens and until now; I did not get the jokes then but now that I understand them. I have not been bored of it.
Even though the critics criticized the sitcom, saying that it is a copy of Seinfeld. The show seemed …
Snowpiercer (science fiction movie)
On reading some of the reviews for the 2013 movie Snowpiercer, it was easy for me to assume that the movie would not have been any good since it was heavily criticised by a lot of people. However, after watching it for myself I strongly agree that while it did …
A Christmas Carol (1951)
The famous black-and-white 1951 British version of “A Christmas Carol” starring Alastair Sim is considered a classic and loved by many. Before I had watched it for the first time, I heard his movie praised so much that I thought I was going to love it as well. However, …

Vows of Deception (1996 film)
The 1996 film starring Cheryl Ladd entitled “Vows of Deception” was an interesting, suspenseful and mysterious movie that, while it wasn’t the best film I have ever seen, was entertaining for the time I spent watching it. This was a Lifetime Movie Network movie, which is known to many …

National Treasure
When I first saw the movie “National Treasure” advertising to be released I thought it was based on the book “The Da Vinci Code” by author Dan Brown. This was because I had just finished reading the book, and had heard either on the television or from one of …
Drake & Josh Go Hollywood
This is probably the third time I’ve watched the TV movie Drake & Josh Go Hollywood and, I’m not sure why, but I’m finding it to be one of the dumbest possible movies ever.
I mean the whole premise of the film doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. First, …
The Perfect Man movie
“The Perfect Man” represents the perfect cast for the perfect romantic movie. The main actors in this movie, Hilary Duff, Heather Locklear and Chris Noth are totally great in this romantic comedy about two people who have never meet but were made for each other. This is definitely one …
Irreversible film
“Irreversible” is a 2002 French film, starring actress Monica Belluci (”The Matrix” finale) and Vincent Cassel (”Oceans Thirteen”), in which the tragic events of one night in paris unfolds backwards.
