Movies Reviews
Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently watched Pan’s Labyrinth. First I must say that I rarely enjoy movies that I have to read the subtitles. If I wanted to read something it would be a book or a magazine or even a website. There I can go at my own pace and read …
No Country For Old Men (2007)
If you are not careful and of sound mind, you will miss what this movie is actually saying. You might even have to watch it on more than one occasion to get the real meaning behind it. Here is what this movie gives and you are going to have …
The Proposal Movie (2009)
The Proposal is a romantic comedy movie that starts Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Sandra Bullock is such a good actress that any movie that stars her is probably a good quality movie. She plays a snobbish, selfish, egocentric boss who is a Canadian citizen and is in dire …
Movie The Unborn
Let’s cut to the chase. If you are planning on renting “The Unborn,” do yourselves a huge favor and save your dollars for a rainy day. You’ll be better off nailing your eyeballs shut than watching this misleading sorry waste of time. This film is poorly written and poorly …
Film: American Gangster
American Gangster…..a good movie. Unfortunatley thats all it is, and all it ever will be. In the Pantheon of Great Gangster Films, this should have been its most recent entry. Instead it falls into the Pantheon of Films that Need A Little More Work. I was so let down …
Scary Movie 2
I just took a few minutes to review the movie Scary Movie. Since I did that, I wanted to take another couple minutes to talk about the sequel, Scary Movie 2; which is one of the very few sequels that might actually be better than the original.
I like this …
“All the King’s Men” The other one (1999)
This “All the King’s Men” is not the one based on Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer winning novel. It is not a novel about politics in Louisiana. It is a movie about, well, all the king’s men. In this version there really is a king, King George V and the …
Pure (R, 2005)

American Sniper - Movie (2014)
Movies dealing with war are usually not my cup of tea but after watching ‘American Sniper’ with friends, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. This was more than just a war movie, this was a movie that explored the intricacies of a man struggling to balance his personal …
The Ruins (UR, 2008) movie
Again we have the slasher thriller that isn’t quite a slasher. In this film we have the typical group of college students who decide that while on their trip to Mexico, they should explore some ancient ruins. They are not concerned with the fact that they …

Yellow Rolls-Royce movie
This film tells the story of a yellow Rolls-Royce, exactly as the title says. The story is told in episodes, showing how the car exchanges owner and telling the stories of these people. It is owned by so different people as an english marquis, an italian mob boss and …
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity introduces the world to Jason Bourne, a former CIA operative who is suffering amnesia. It follows his fact paces, death defying journey to discover the truth about who he is. I love the first real action scence in the movie where he’s in the bank and …
As young as you feel movie
We had some free time last night so my wife and I decided to watch one of the Marilyn Monroe movies we had on our Netflix Player; As Young As You Feel.
I don’t know if I would really classify this as a Marilyn Monroe movie (she only had a …
LORO, movie (2018)
The beauty of individual things is undeniable only in our heads. Someone is sure that he ties his shoelaces beautifully or hangs stuff in the closet. The Italian Paolo Sorrentino is not sure of anything. He knows. He knows how to beautifully shoot a girl by the pool, shaving her …
Jeeva
I like to tribute this review to late Mr.Jeeva, a fantastic cinematographer and director in Indian cinema Industry. He recently died in Russia while he went for a shooting of his fourth directorial venture film ‘Tham Thoom’. He stayed in a hotel in Russia after completed his …
Black Sunday movie
Mario Bava’s breakthrough picture has an opening scene that astounded a whole generation of filmmakers. It is so filled with mood and gothic beauty, but at the same time frightening in its graphical violence. The story here is about a witch waking up from her slumber in 1700th century …
Movie Chicago
I admit to being surprised at the caliber of the musical performances of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, and Richard Gere and it made for a stunning production of Chicago, but at the same time, I honestly believe that the theater production I saw of it in Los Angeles …
Ghost Dad movie
This is known as one of the worst films that Bill Cosby was in .This is ironic sense it was directed by Sidney Poitier who is known to be a great producer.Why did the movie get the bad rap that it did.
The main thing thats wrong with this movie …
Runaway Bride
I had avoided watching the movie “Runaway Bride” for a very long time since it was released in the year nineteen nintey nine since I am not a fan of romance movies. Another reason is because I was about ten or eleven at the time it was released so …
The Bloody Judge movie
I personally think that this is one of Christopher Lee’s better performances and movies out of all of his older movies. This is not only because his acting was good, but because I thought that the movie itself came with a lot of good qualities, such as a great …
Letters from a Killer movie
Letters from a Killer (1998) is a thriller that some still have a hard time watching, not because of the action on screen, but what happened off screen. It was while shooting this movie in California, that Patrick Swayze went head-first into a tree and almost killed himself. It …
Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray Movie
While there was excitement in getting the first and second Alien in BluRay, I only got this one, Alien 3, just to continue the collection. Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray is what I got. While I don’t watch it as much as I do the other Alien films, …
Movie Big Trouble
I can remember seeing the movie “Big Trouble” advertising to be released in theatres when I was still in high school, but not paying much attention to it since I thought it was going to be yet another bad overrated film which was overpromoted because it contained a …
Returner Movie

This is mostly interesting because of the poetic imagery it uses and the excellent actor Takeshi Kaneshiro. The film is …
Get Hard (comedy movie)
Despite its fairly mediocre rating on IMDB, I actually didn’t mind watching the movie “Get Hard”. Since Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were playing the main roles in it, expected something very raunchy and not as funny. However, one or two people I know told me it wasn’t bad. …

Benicio Del Toro, Josh Hartnett, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood.
There is no city more corrupt than Sin City ( the actual name is Basin city). In Sin City everyone must stand …
House of Wax
It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …
Shelter DVD
Despite being produced by here!network (cable network known for many things but not good quality movies), “Shelter” is a well written, well produced, well acted movie about love.
“Shelter” tells a story of Zach, a young surfer living in California. He works in a diner, takes care of his nephew …
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 …
Strike Commando, movie (1987)
Italian films of the early 70’s to late 80’s had a reputation of knocking off American hit films. Despite the low budgets, the films had a charming quality about them. Director Bruno Mattei was one of a number of directors to make a career of delivering the …
Get Smart movie
At first I was a bit skeptical about this movie. The trailer seems funny and exciting, but most boring movies do. So when I went to the cinema with my sister to watch something (Hancock excluded because she wanted to watch it with her bf) I have no other …
Nine to Five movie (1980)
I remember seeing “Nine to Five” for the first time when I was only twelve years old. I loved it then, and I love it just as much today. I still like to watch parts of it whenever it appears on TV. To all the ladies out there, this …
Bad Boys II Movie
This movie is an action-packed movie starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and I really liked how Michael Bay directed the movie; it wasn’t too exaggerated and there weren’t any boring parts and even though there were scenes that were really extravagant and too impossible to happen in real …
Twilight Saga: New Moon
For a Twilight fan like myself, wating for New Moon to be released in the theaters felt like such a long wait. I wanted to watch the sneak preview, but I couldn’t get any ticket, and it was next to impossible too on November 20, 2009, the official …

Furious 7 (action adventure movie)
It took me a long time to watch the movie Furious 7 because I figured that it would be too depressing to watch. This was especially after hearing stories about how scores of people cried in the theatre in the end.
After seeing it myself though I realised I was …

The Bigamist movie
Another vintage movie that I’ve seen lately is The Bigamist. I’ve never seen it before. It’s really a classic soap opera piece that has much of it glossed over becomes of the standards and practices of the day. That actually surprises me, how they made movies …

P.S. I love You
When I picked up the movie P.S. I Love You, I expected it to be a tear jerker. What I found was, not only did it not move us to tears, we had a hard time keeping our eyes open.
While I loved the concept behind it, a man dies …
Happy Feet Movie
Australian Director’s Animated Comedy ‘Happy Feet’ can best be described as just a fun, somewhat funny, family comedy. Lets clear from the very beginning, that while this film did win the Best Animated Film Oscar, it is not exactly the most satisfying movie experience. There is not much in …
