This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …

From the beginning, it promises to be a simple, serene atmosphere of the story in Scandinavian cinema directors (Moodysson “Only together,” Hamer “Kitchen Stories” and Kormakur “101 Reykjavik” is just a few items, which first arose at the thought.)

Kwaidan is an episode film following four different horror stories. The director is Masaki Kobayashi, and here he gets to prove what he could do with color film. This might well be the most visually stunning piece of cinema I have ever experienced. Not only is the depth and …

This must have been a good movie because it evoked so many emotions from me. The setting and the characterizations were incredible. Leonardo is as always beautiful in it. The thing I hated was when she was on the door or whatever at the end and she says ‘I’ll …

This film was not what I expected. The title, the trailers, gave no sign as to the actual nature of this movie. Despite that sneakiness, I thought it was an exceptionally fine film, dealing with very sensitive themes. The main themes are bulliness and neglect, and both are represented …

I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …

I only got a chance to watch this film recently in Blu-Ray albeit it came out in 2009. It caught my attention when this was among the nominated films in the 2010 Academy Awards. There are just a few animated films which makes it to the best picture list, …

I love revenge movies. They appeal to our baser instincts and when they’re done well they strike us at our emotional core. John Wick is a superb revenge flick that oozes style and menace.
From the outset this film makes its intentions very clear. It is light on dialogue and …

I keep asking one question. ” why?” Why did someone decide to write this screenplay? Why did Joel Schumaker agree to make this film? Why did a production company think this would make a good movie idea? Why would Jim Carrey follow up a career in more serious films …

The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …

This is the sequal to the Princess Diaries movie and I think it is better than the first one. I definitely saw a bit of a transition between the first one and the second one. This one has a bit more scandalous activity and romance. I am not sure …
