Movies Reviews
A Night at the Museum
“A Night at the Museum” is a great comedy/fantasy movie with the actor, Ben Stiller at his best. I personally like Stiller in the movies “Meet the Fuckers”, “The Heartbreak Kid” and “There is something about Mary”, however I also like him when he does something completely different, just …
Non-Stop (movie)
I was looking forward to seeing the movie “Non-Stop” since February when it was in theatres since it had Liam Neeson, one of my favourite actors as a main character in it, and because the trailer that I had seen for it made the movie look interesting. I ended …
The Tower of London
The Tower of London with Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Vincent Price.
When I saw the list of this all star cast, I felt compelled to make this a must see film. Especially since I have always enjoyed watching Vincent Price ply his trade. …
“Passengers” movie
Colombian director Rodrigo Garcia is known for its versatility. He has directed such series as “Family Soprano” or “Six Feet Under.” He made the photos for “Four Rooms” and Quentin Tarantino’s biographical drama “GIA” with Angelina Jolie in the lead role. In his director’s filmography has several projects on the …
Bullet Boy (R, 2004)
You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …
The Fountain movie
My husband and I get movies sent to us by Netflix. One day a movie called The Fountain showed up. We sat down and began to watch it. We stopped about half way through it and watched the rest the next day. It was so …
The Rock (movie/film)
The Rock is a story about one angry retired military officer, the Brigadier General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), whose special forces were killed in action, and their families were not compensated for their deaths.
As a revenge, the general wants to pressure the government to do their obligations.

Iron Man (2008)
Another interesting movie I saw this week. But if you wanted a superhero movie like Superman you will clearly not find it in Iron Man, because it’s the antithesis of the ordinary loser who becomes a superhero as a consequence of a truly extraordinary event(I prefer those if you …
The Prestige movie
The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
Border Town
Border Town - Review : Border town, directed by Gregry Nova , is a story about a journalist, played by Lopez, who is sent to Zeurich, where some strange things are reported to happen with women. MAny have died, and many were out traced, with no evidence. She …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …
Order of the Pheonix
I am reviewing the Harry Potter movie, Order of the Pheonix. Order of the Pheonix is the fifth movie in the series, and stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. Fifth year is scarier than ever. Harry hasn’t heard from Dumbledore all summer, nor heard a thing from Ron …
The Jungle Book
The Jungle Book is a very nice animated film. I really liked the whole setting in the jungle. I think that the plot is also very interesting. It’s one of the best movies I have seen in my life. I think that this movie really shows us what life is …
I am Legend
…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
But then again, it’s not all his fault that this remake …
Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …
Movie Don No 1
This is easily the worst movie I have seen in recent times, this is a dubbed version of a south Indian movie with the same name. Movie has Nagarjuna in the lead playing an Indian Don with a god father type of Persona, he helps the other weak people …
The Simpsons Movie
I like The Simpsons TV show, so I obviously expected to enjoy The Simpsons movie, and I was not disappointed. It was not the same format as a TV show - usually The Simpsons TV shows start out with one plot or problem, and end up being about something …
Divine Secrets Of The Ya Ya Sisterhood (movie)
Divine Secrets Of The Ya Ya Sisterhood is a great mother daughter movie as well as a movie about old, best friends. The Ya Ya Sisterhood was formed when four young girls in the rural South form a bond to be together always and keep the sisterhood alive. There …
Two Weeks Notice (2002)
Two Weeks Notice is a movie starring two of hollywoods’ heavy hitters in that of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. The plot of this movie has been done so many times over and over it starts to become so repetative, but just like a bad song that you just …
Benhur
I do really appreciate the movie “Benhur.” For me it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The leading actor Charleton Hestone played his role excellently as well as other participants in the movie. It is the best religious film for men. I feel closer …
The Punisher (2004)
The Punisher, directed by Jonathan Hensleigh is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for pervasive brutal violence, language and brief nudity. The original release date for this movie was April 16, 2004 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars …

Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
Dark Knight
You know, i normally like Batman movies but I’m not sure the film Dark Knight was all it was hyped-up to be.
Like many people said, Heath Ledger does an outstanding job as the joker. There are times he’s so crazy in this film I think the role is being …
The Elephant Man
If you are not familiar with the story of Joseph (John) Merrick, known as The Elephant Man, this movie will come as a shock. Based on a true story of a man with severe physical deformities, it is often painful to watch. John Hurt plays the unfortunate Merrick. Heavy …
The Prestige (movie)
The Prestige is one of the best and most entertaining movies I have seen in the year 2007. It was crafted so perfectly that I don’t think there would be a better movie about magic tricks. The Prestige was directed by the same guy who directed Batman Begins. He did …
Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …
Funny Face movie
Another unforgettable movie from Audrey Hepburn Collection. This is my favorite among her films, its a classic indeed.
In this film Audrey portrays the role of a bookstore clerk named Jo Stackton. The Quality magazine, a fashion magazine held a photoshoot at the bookstore she worked for. She was discovered …
Movie The good girl
I watched ‘The good girl’ because it seemed to be a good film however I ended up very disappointed! This is a truly awful film. I cannot understand how a very talented actress, Jennifer Aniston would be involved in such a lousy production!
In this film, Aniston interprets the character of …
City Hunter (movie)
I like watching movies starring the actor and martial arts expert Jackie Chan sometimes, but I never heard of the movie City Hunter until some time recently. It was actually supposed to be based on a Japanese manga of the same name, and when I got to watch it, …

Disney’s Pinocchio
Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …
Indian Tamil Movie
Indian is one of the finest movies in Tamil Cinema. This movie is produced by A.M. Ratnam for his own production unit Sri Surya Movies. The story and screenplay wrote by Shankar. Also he directed the movie. …
Valkyrie movie
Valkyrie is a film in relation to the rise and fall of Hitler and Germany. The movie could be interesting or emotional for those that were a part of the Hitler movement. If you were a part of that you might feel somewhat emotional or offended by reliving the …
Titanic
I watched the movie ‘Titanic’ two years ago. But memory of it still fresh in my memory. The actors are Kate Winslet and Leonardo. Their acting was good. In the movie, we see that a ship called ‘Titanic’ sails out. The people are very happy to board the ship …
Movie: 9 to 5
I finally got a chance to relax about 9 last night, after putting both kids to bed and feeding the cat. Since my wife (who somehow manages to get out of helping me at night) was already in bed, I figured I would try to find a movie or …
Storm of the Century by Stephen King
Have you guys ever watched Storm of the Century by Stephen King before? It is one of Stephen King’s movies and I watched this sometime back. Now, any story from Stephen King will always be laced with mystery and wonderment and sometimes the characters are being developed quite …
Bambi movie
This is a Disney movie made back in 1942. It’s about a fawn who experiences life in all its goodness and sadness. The fawn’s name is Bambi.
I have to admit that I never watched this movie up until I had my son. I landed upon it accidentally, when I …
“She’s out of your league” Feature Film
I really enjoyed watching this film. It is the usual silly movie where a guy goes after a woman out of his league, there are many of them in hollywood at any time, but this one was a little different. For starters, the layers of humor that …
Choke the movie
I watched choke last night and I was extremely disappointed. I had
read the book before which I thought was very good and the movie just
didn’t stand up by comparaison. Maybe my high hopes for the movie are
what made me feel extra disappointed. I feel like they just took the
kinda …
‘Keg on My Coffin’, a song by The Push Stars
The year 2004 was a great year for awesome music. It was also the same year that I become aware of a relatively unknown, independent recording group known as The Push Stars. Their song ‘Keg on the Coffin’ was receiving extensive radio play on Alabama airwaves by indie recording …
Big Man on Campus movie
What a silly movie. Obviously, it was inspired by “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” in some weird way. The movie begins with students talking about sightings of some monster on campus. The descriptions of the monster vary, and it is clear that some of the “witnesses” are simply making …
Perfect Stranger
I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film “Perfect Stranger” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis.
The story of the film is completely enthralling with twists and turns all over the place. It left me unable to move, just waiting for the next sequence of …
Gremlins
A movie that children and adults alike will enjoy is Gremlins. Gremlins are these little creatures that are fierce and scary and evolve, magically, from Mogwai. You see, the Mogwai are fine and lovable and rather like little teddy bears, unless they have water. Once the water gets on …
Angels in the Outfield
One of the movies which I can remember was released in the nineteen nineties was the movie “Angels in the Outfield”. It was one of the movies I loved as a child since it was a children’s movie with a very interesting plot. It was not one of those …
