Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 (movie)
I did not get a chance to go and see Breaking Dawn part 1 while it was in theaters, so my anticipation had been building ever since I saw the previews for the DVD release. I, myself, did not end up purchasing the movie; instead, a relative of mine …
The A-Team: Movie
The A-Team is a fun, action-packed remake of the TV series that I think will be of interest to a lot more people than it is given credit for.
I thought that the action scenes were very good and quite unique; given the circumstances they often find themselves in they …
The Happening (2008 Film)
The 2008 film, “The Happening”, staring Mark Wahlberg, Zoe Deschanel and John Leguizamo was a film that while as unrealistic as it could be, was strangely entertaining and a little bit frightening. This film portrayed the world as it would be if chaos struck, and when I mean chaos …
The Amazing Spiderman (movie)
Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …
Inkheart movie
When I first saw the movie “Inkheart” advertising to be released in theatres I somehow assumed that it was supposed to be a fantasy film which starred the actor Brendan Fraiser. Therefore at one point I was even planning on saving some money to watch it while it was …
Brideshead Revisited
For those of you who are old enough you will remember the epic 11 hour series Brideshead Revisited which was without a doubt one of the best TV series ever to come out of England. If you go to the movie Brideshead Revisited expecting the same great script and …

Spartacus (1960) tells the tale of the legendary slave named Spartacus and how he was a gladiator who escaped with others to lead a slave rebellion against the Roman Empire in order to escape to freedom.
While not historically accurate to the true story of Spartacus, this film is still …
Flightplan
I watched Flightplan yesterday shown on the local TV channel and it is so good to see such a good actress Jodie Foster, acting once more.
I know that this was a movie that was shown years back but somehow or rather, it is just so good to be …

Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein
Well, I wasn’t sure if my daughter would like an Alvin & the Chipmunks cartoon; let along one that would have a scary monster like Frankenstein’s Monster. But, she obviously is a huge fan of the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein because she’s watched the DVD probably …
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …

Latin Lovers movie

Herbie Fully Loaded Movie
Herbie Fully Loaded is one of those movies that I probably shouldn’t like, but somehow I really loved it. That doesn’t mean I’ll have the movie sitting out where my friends can see it, but I do love it. When I first heard about the movie I was pretty …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
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 Bank Job, British crime film
Certain genres of movies never seem to advance too much. Crime is that one genre that tends to follow the same path, get a bunch of people and rob a bank. The Bank Job follows this tiresome formula but for some reason it is more entertaining than half the …
Meet Dave: the movie
Eddie Murphy stars in the movie Meet Dave. The plot of this science-fiction/comedy is very original. At the start of the movie, a strange meteor like object crashes into a boy’s bedroom. It lands in his goldfish bowl and immediately sucks up the water. We …
21 Jump Street (2012)
21 Jump Street isn’t the greatest movie ever. In my opinion, it isn’t even close. However, that doesn’t mean that this movie isn’t worth watching. I find that it has some cheesy moments, a slight romance, but mostly comedy and action. I appreciate a good hardcore guns blazing shooting …

Life As We Know It Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because if features one of my favorite actresses Katherine Heigl, it also features Josh Duhamel and I thought it would be a funny movie but I actually found it was really serious for actors like them to be playing this part. The movie is about …

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …
G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Movie
I’m not really a fan of G.I Joe stuff but when I saw the movie G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra on HBO, I was kind of impressed. Not with the story though, but with the movie effects.
G.I Joe is a group of really special and top military men …
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, …
Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …
Lagaan,A Hindi Movie
This movie has been a nominee for Oscars in 2001.The credit goes to the director Ashtosh Gowariker who introduced a real cinema to the world on behalf of India with his Lagaan team. Lagaan is nothing but a tax on land collected by the British, from the farmers …

My review is on the movie August Rush. Now I like movies as much as the next person, and I’m here to tell you that I loved this movie. It stars Kerri Russell and Robin Williams in it. It even has that little boy who plays from the …
Flags Of Our Fathers Movie
Flags of Our Father is a very strong, graphic and realistic war movie covering the battle of Iwo Jima. Having seen other movies such as Private Ryan, I had gone into this movie with the expectation to see lots of battle scenes and the brutality of war. …
Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
Richie Rich (1994)
Taken from the pages of the comic strip and the TV series, this live action movie has won me over. Richie Rich is the richest child in the world who has any and everything that he wants or needs. The only problem to that situation is that he is …
The Holiday movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet, Joe Black, Cameron Diez, and Jude Law. Kate Winslet’s character is a fool for love, but the problem is, the guy she love doesn’t love her back. She’s involved in a game of cat and mouse as he …
Easter Parade movie
Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
Oddly, though, I’m not a huge fan of Easter …
Boogie Nights
When I saw the movie “Boogie Nights” on the television guide, I used to think that it was probably a movie from the nineteen seventies starring the American actor John Travolta. However, recently I realised that I was actually confusing the movie with another movie named Saturday Night Fever …
Romeo Must Die movie
This was one of those horrible experiments with the classic Shakespearean story that you just wish were never dreamed up. Yeah, Romeo can be a martial arts guy from China who falls in love with a black gang leader’s daughter. And stuff. And he’s got to …
Drive Me Crazy
I see a lot of similarity between the actresses, Melissa Joan Hart and Alicia Silverstone. They both got famous due to teen related material and they cannot seem to go beyond that. Alicia Silverstone stuck in the “Clueless” and “Excess Baggage” phase, while Melissa Joan Hart got stuck in …
When Harry Met Sally
Billy Crystal sizzles in the movie, When Harry Met Sally. And one of my most favorite actress, Meg Ryan acted too and together with Billy Crystal, the on-screen chemistry looks unavoidable. I could be watching this 10 times and still not get tired nor bored at it.
This is …
Anything Else movie
Anything Else stars Woody Allen, Jason Biggs, Christina Ricci, Danny DeVito, And Stockard Channing.
There is the standard sarcastic dry humor which earmark Woody Allen movies, except that Jason Biggs delivers most of the lines. The story is told by Biggs, a struggling Comedy Writer in …
The Running Man (1987 film)
I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Ahnuld plays Ben Richards, a soldier who is framed for mass murder after defying orders to fire on innocent civilians. He’s forced …
