Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …

Balls of Fury
I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.

The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …

High Fidelity
“High Fidelity” is definitely the most renowed John Cusack’s movie. I must admit that he did a great job in this movie for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe. In an interview, Cusack admitted that this movie is also one of his favourites too.
What makes “High Fidelity” …
Robin Hood

Rock Rock Rock! movie
Rock Rock Rock! from 1956 is one of those movie musicals that is more like an excuse to show off the music of the day. The plot is thin and barely there, put in the back seat to the various songs that are sung.
Below are some thoughts on …
Flying Daggers movie
The latest film by chinese visionary Zhang Yimou is an amazing visual journey to an ancient China. Filmed in the same style as Hero, Flying Daggers manages to thrill me with speechless action stunts and magical cinematgraphy. This is easily the most visually captivating film in a long time. …

Movie An American Crime
This was a very sad but good movie. It was based on a true story. To think that the things really happened in the story to a young girl is sickening and terrifying. If you can take this types of movies I highly recommend watching it, it was an …
Slumdog Millionaire movie
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.

A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?

Dead Leaves anime OVA
I’ve seen some terrible movies in my day. “Catwoman”, “Transformers 2″, “Turkish Star Wars” to name a few. I’ve seen movies so bad that I roll my eyes when people make fun of “Twilight”. Granted, I’ve only seen the first movie and it wasn’t particularly good …
Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …

Mandy Moore in A Walk To Remember
‘A Walk To Remember’ was a film released in 2002, was one unforgettable and must-see movie. The drama made me cry even if I watched it so many times. It’s timelessly and beautifully romantic.

Life of Brian movie
The Monty Python crew makes fun of old religious values. Brian is born on the same day as Jesus and is stalked by the life of this man for the rest of his life. The film is more of a series a brilliant sketches than a film with a …
Charlton Heston

Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …
Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
Movie UP
Brilliant; refreshing; fun for the whole family. Need I say more?
