Movies Reviews
Babel (Film)
Trust me if I say this: I have never seen a film with intertwining characters as honest and coincidental as this. All because of Alejandro Gonzales Inaritu’s compelling writing and masterful directing that we were able to see four stories, in three countries interweave each other in the most …

The Marsh (R, 2006) movie
If you’re thinking about renting a rollercoaster ride of a film, look elsewhere other than “The Marsh.” No offense to the award-winning Forrest Whitaker, or the equally winsome Gabrielle Anwar. In fact, I can’t even say that I didn’t enjoy this movie. …

Beerfest DVD
Many movies are made in the comedy section each year. Most of them are the same type of comedy and recycle old jokes. When you find that one movie, that made you cry of laughter… you want to tell people and spread the word about it. For me, the …
Disneys The Emperors New Groove film
Disneys The Emperors New Groove is a great film to watch and is a little more funky than the other Disney Classic Movies.
David Spade stars as the Emperor - a self important selfish character who annoys one person to many and gets his come upance when he sacks his …
Grown Ups (movie)
When I saw the trailer for “Grown Ups” somewhere, I was neither here nor there when it came to excitement. A part of me thought that there was a strong possibility it might turn out to be another star studded failure, and another part of me wasn’t interested in …
The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …
HBO miniseries Band of Brothers
This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …

This movie has quite a few small story intertwined that makes it a very captivating and intelligent movie. You have a young gambler who gets in over his head as he tries his hand at trying to beat an old conman at his own game and winds up in …
The Blind Side
The first thing that comes to mind when you mention ‘The Blind Side’ is the movie for which the actress Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for best female interpretation. This is true, however the film is much more than that. The story of this movie is so touching that …
Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …
Japanese Anime - Death Note
Calling all anime fans! If you haven’t watched the anime series Death Note (aka: Desu Noto), you need to put down what you’re doing & start watching! Having been an anime fan for years, I would say that this series really topped my list of best anime’s …
Joker of the Dark Knight
For superhero lover, Joker isn’t a newbie. He’s arrogant, scary yet frightening. And he’s brilliant though. There are several actor who had played this role in the movie. But comparing all of those actors, the best one for me is the last Joker in Batman’s movie, The Dark Knight, …
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown movie
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown has quite a few well known names in it, including several famous folks who play themselves. It’s a unique setup for the murder of the movie where the guilty party uses a poker game as part of his alibi, not that it works. …

Batman Begins
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Batman Begins, staring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. I for one am not a huge comic fan or anything dealing with super-heroes and what not, but I really enjoyed this movie. Christian Bale is phenomenal as …

House of 9
When I watched House of 9 a couple of days ago, I had hoped I would get a psychological thriller. What I got was a dragged out drama with much more talk than action.
The plot of the movie should have been a good one. Nine people are kidnapped and …
The New Adventures of Heidi movie
It’s hard for me to find a Heidi tale that I don’t like. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of them and most of them have their own unique quality that makes it work. That’s the case with The New Adventures of Heidi from 1978. …
Jumanji movie
Jumanji was one of the movies I wanted to see in the theater, but wasn’t able to. From 1995, it stars Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Adam Hann-Byrd, and Laura Bell Bundy. It’s actually a nice adventure for children who aren’t afraid of monsters …
Ah Long Pte Ltd

Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior (R, 2005) DVD
Mike Epps’ first attempt at doing a stand-up comedy DVD was quite the success. This 2005 DVD features all the nuances of Epps quirky and outrageous personality. But the really funny parts of his performance revolve around the realities of life. What I loved in …
The Bible … In the Beginning movie
The Bible … In the Beginning is a huge John Huston epic that tells the story of the Book of Genesis from the Bible. It’s not without its controversy, however, primarily with the opening Garden of Eden sequence in which male and female nudity is shown. That …
Escape to Witch Mountain movie
Disney’s 1975 film, Escape to Witch Mountain, is a delight even now, decades later, as I write this review. The cast is terrific, and the story definitely entertains. It’s done with traditional family style and adventure, and even more so, there was a lot of heart, and …

Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie
The horror…the utter horror.
Not!!
This is a classic case of a mind at waste. How could they even consider making this movie and worse expect viewers to want to watch it. Well. as dumb as it is, I stood the torture and i watched it; and horrified I was. You …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23 begins with Conrad preparing for Juliet’s coronation, meanwhile Juliet heads to the Escalus tree to sacrifice herself to keep Neo Verona from falling apart and Tybalt tells Romeo of Juliet’s intentions and he goes to stop her.

Ninja Assassin : The Movie
The main reason why I decided to watch this movie was because this movie concluded my entire fetish in it. I love everything about Ninja things (I love everything about Japan things, and Ninja was originally from Japan, am I right?) and Assassins are also one of my favorite …
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Everything was right about this film: cast, crew, settings, story. It had all the elements of success, and enough going on in each scene to ensure repeated viewings over the years. I am one of those repeaters, and now, one of my sons has joined me in naming Who …
Dogma
Dogma was a great film. There are so many things I like about it, it would be impossible to list them all. But I will give you best parts.
Firstly the director is Kevin Smith who makes interesting films which are funny and have a fresh take on …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
I absolutely hated the original Cheaper by the Dozen movie and thought Hollywood was stupid coming out with another one. However, after seeing Cheaper By The Dozen 2, I’m willing to admit this is a rare case when the sequel is much better than the original.
The movie centers around …

Clockwork Orange, movie
Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.
When this came out back in the 1970’s, it caused quite a stir. Some howling conservatives wanted an X-rating, and when it finally did come out, maybe some people didn’t understand it, but knew it was something special. This film has …
Pride and Prejudice, 2005
I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say. I didn’t expect much, and therefore wasn’t very disappointed. Keira Knightley is cute (perhaps a little too cute for Elizabeth) and pretty …
The Last Airbender the movie
The live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, certainly leaves much to be desired. The premise of the movie retains the same plotline as the cartoon. After100 years of being trapped beneath the ice, Avatar Aang has awoken to …
Friended to Death, movie (2014)
Watching a dreary film like Friended to Death has been a total waste of my time and energy. Directed by Sarah Smick and starring Ryan Hansen, James Immekus, Zach McGowan and others, this film has failed to keep me glued to it. Perhaps the director had aimed at shooting …
