The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …
Superman II
The script for Superman II was written at the same time as the first movie. Even the filming was done nearly at the same time. The director of Superman, The Movie had completed seventy-five percent of the sequel, but tension between Richard Donner and the producers of both films …

National Treasure 2
The movie “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” is a sequel to the previous movie starring actor Nicholas Cage “National Treasure”. Like the first one, it was also released by Walt Disney Pictures, and what impressed me the most about it was that I thought that it was just as …
Tower Heist Movie (2011)
I went to see Tower Heist last night with my friend, and be both agreed that it was one of the best movies we have seen in a long time. While we expected that a movie featuring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy absolutely has to be good, we never …

White House Down (movie)
One of the most thrilling movies that I watched in the past couple of weeks was White House Down. At first, I ignored it mostly because I had read a lot of bad reviews from both movie critics and regular people. What’s worse is that it had a fairly …
27 Dresses
27 Dresses was a chick flick starring Katherine Heigel and James Marsden. I never saw it when it was playing in the theaters, but I did see it was it was released and I thought it was really cute. Heigel plays a woman who takes the idea of “always …

Juno is Good
Juno was a pretty good movie. It was the best movie I have ever seen, but it was interesting. If you don’t like weird and awkward story lines than this movie is probably not for you. However, I enjoy movies that are a little different and this movie is …
Inception (movie)
Inception is an 2010 action, adventure and mystery movie directed by one of my favourite directors Christopher Nolan who has directed the successful Batman movies. The movie was doing very well on the box-office and my expectations were pretty high after knowing that my favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio is …
Definitely, Maybe movie
I normally have no interest in watching romance movies, especially romance comedy films. However, the only thing which attracted the romance comedy “Definitely, Maybe” was in the first place was the fact that the comedy actor Ryan Reynolds was going to be in it. Thus of course, I expected …

Inception (2010 movie)
I saw the trailer for this movie in theaters before, and it did not pique my interest. It seemed like just an action movie with some plot that is intended to be epic, but not really so. However, I heard that it is a really intense and deep movie, …

The Fast and the Furious
I like action movie, including car racing. I always like the Fast and the Furious no matter it’s the first movie, the second, the third or the fourth one, I like them all.
The Fast and the Furious is the first movie before the sequel is made. I watch this …
Vice, Movie
Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.
A rather weak …
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a crazy musical that is raunchy and often inappropriate for the mainstream and yet is funny and delightful to watch. The language is way too much for my tastes, but I choose to grit my way through this movie because I …
The Witch (2016 Horror Film)
I rarely, rarely watch horror films. In fact I can’t recall the last time I watch a horror film alone. I just don’t see any point at all watching something that just do nothing but make you feel afraid and scared and get away with it.
At 19 I must admit …
Kramer versus Kramer movie
Kramer versus Kramer is not a recent movie and it is all for some years on dvd available but in my opinion it is a movie that you can see every year without boring you.
The proof that this movie is a good one is because of the 5 oscars: …
Requiem for a Dream
Whoever told you that this movie is a wacky comedy, they lied.
It has its amusing moments, mostly the hallucinations of Harry’s mother, but this is a dark and pretty depressing movie.
It could’ve so easily fallen into the hackneyed hammering in of the idea that “drugs are bad …
The WaterBoy
The WaterBoy is a great Adam Sandler film! I loved this movie the very day I saw it in the theater. It is a great movie and one of the best ever made in my view. I think this movie will last through the ages and will make families laugh …

Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surefr
I had not seen the previous part of this movie series, so I was hoping that I would not miss out on some related scenes. Thankfully this movie does not have much relevance to the previous movie. A person can watch this without having to watch the earlier part.
The …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Horror with a pinch of comedy…you have to love it whether you want to or not. A genius twist to killing and rampaging carnage. Now here is a movie with vision and character. There is nothing more to add about this film…it’s pure genius. Just watch and anjoy.
Rating: 10 …
Requiem For a Dream
This is one of the most powerful and gut wrenching movies I have ever seen. It is brutally honest in its depiction of drug addiction and the effect it has on different people. It shows how drugs are just the tip of the pyramid when it comes …
Monster House movie
They certainly make some weird movies these days… A dead woman?s spirit possesses a house; the house comes alive on Halloween, with its windows serving as eyes, door as mouth, and a long red carpet as tongue. It swallows people, especially kids. The woman, you see, was morbidly obese, …
Center Stage Movie
