Movie: Stan Helsing
I ended up watching the movie Stan Helsing Friday night because I was in the mood for a comedy and figured this would be one of those films that was so terrible, it couldn’t help but be funny.
Well, it turns out I was right about the movie being terrible. …
Pretty Woman
I am reviewing the movie, Pretty Woman, starring Richard Geere and Julia Roberts. This is a love story. It is a chick flick. Men beware. Women rejoice. Rich Richard Geere’s character is in the need of company one evening, so he decides to go along and pick …
Star Wars: Episode 2- Attack of the Clones
Well, I can say one good thing about Attack of the Clones, it was better than The Phantom Menace! (I said that in my sarcastic voice by the way). First off, the relationship between Anakin and Padma is probably one of the worst relationships every put on …
The Happening movie
M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …
Avatar (2009 film)
Any film with many disparate (though often impressive) elements and a lot of hype and money behind it is bound to create both ardent fans and ardent critics, and James Cameron’s sci-fi epic “Avatar” (which was also released in both 2 and 3D) is a prime example. There’s …
Quantum of Solace
The movie released in India today, and I saw the first show on the First day - a rarity for me, made possible however since it was a holiday!

For a detailed breakup, however here goes, and dont worry I will not be giving away …

Terminator salvation
I already watch this movie in cinemas yesterday. This is the fourth series from terminator movies. I think many new things that are shown and it is very different from the previous movies. For example, the main actor is not Arnold Schwarzeneger anymore, and the world setting is not …

Die Hard 4.0
Well…!!! I’m writing a review on a movie titled as Die Hard 4.0. Before i start of i would like to tell, without having any second thoughts “The movies rocks”.
The film begins when a guy working for the US govt. finds out that the infrastructure network its running …
The Number 23 (2007) movie
I saw this more of an experiment to see if Jim Carrey could take on a serious role instead of his usual funny guy characters. I would have to say it was pretty failed in this movie. The concept was good but it just didn’t seem to follow through …

GCI film from Disney and Pixar brings the boogeyman to life through the eyes of a little girl. The movie shows how they are able to get into any and possible every bedroom using whatever means necessary. Whether it be through a closet or under a bed, they have …
Finding Nemo
What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …
Twilight the movie
I’ve seen this movie just this year when I bought this DVD. My friends advised me to watch the movie because it seemed that they were totally hooked and amazed to the story. Frankly, I am not a vampire fan and this is the first time that I watched …
Bewitched (2005 movie)
The single most dullest movie i’ve seen this year…It’s a complete flop. Some TV series are better off not being made into movies, and the cast was all wrong, so, so wrong. Not only is this film a bore but it’s also annoying (what’s with the blondes jumping up …
The Forbidden Kingdom
For the second time, I watched Jacky Chan’s and Jet Li’s movie The Forbidden Kingdom on my way home from a TV and DVD showing on my bus ride. Due to the traffic, I kind of watched the whole movie again and I never thought I will be enjoying …

Ugh. Poor John Carpenter. Has the legendary director of HALLOWEEN and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK really hit rock bottom?
Masters of Horror is the new Showtime Cable anthology series that features a different horror genre icons directing each episode.
Carpenter’s episode “Cigarette Burns” deals with a collector paying a down on …
House of Wax
House of Wax is a horror movie that most people hated right away, but I liked it. I wouldn’t say that I loved the movie, but I didn’t think it was nearly as bad as everyone said. I’ve never seen the original movie and all I know of it …
Yankee Doody Dandy
Yankee Doody Dandy is the story of show business patriot, George M. Cohan, and no one is more closely identified with Cohan than James Cagney who played the role of the Vaudeville star. While the 1942 musical from Warner Brothers has a solid cast which includes Joan Leslie …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
Ice Age 4 Continental Drift 2012 Movie
I will be one of the first people to say that when I saw the preview for Ice Age 4 Continental Drift released in 2012, I thought —˜Oh No, not another one!’ Not that I didn’t like the first three because I did. I loved them. I was just …
Irreversible Movie
My friend has been hounding me to watch Irreversible, starring Monica Belluci. She said that it was the most horrific rape scene she had watched and even said that people walked out during it�s showing in disgust. So I was finally able to buy the DVD and watched it …
Spirited Away animation
“Spirited Away” presents remarkable detail in the way of animation. The creator of the animation is Hiyao Miyazaki. The storyline itself is highly imaginative. Suffice it to say: much goes into proper animation of a movie. During the process sometimes there is a tendency …
Resident Evil Part 1
I have a week off from my office so I decided to watch DVDs. Among the video that I watched is this Resident Evil.
This movie is the first part of the trilogy. Definitely a good one and good start. The starts include Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez.
This movie is …
The Lovely Bones movie
Let me start out by saying that I haven’t read the novel “The Lovely Bones”, which the movie was of course based on, so I’ll have to review the movie on its own merits. The story is about a young girl who is murdered, and her afterlife experiences, as …
Hindi Movie Black and white
I watched this movie a weeks back as this was directed by Subhash Ghai, who is a well known entertainer director of bollywood. I had some expectation from this, but the movie disappointed me big time, the story is about a person who lost is family in Gujrat riots …
Movie Chaos
“Chaos” can be best described as a gripping thriller where one has no hint how the story is going to end. Full of interesting twists and action, this movie is worth watching not only once but even twice.
I believe that the best assets of the movie “Chaos” are the …
Jerry Maguire
I watched the movie Jerry Maguire for about the third or fourth time last night and have to say, while a good movie, it could have been much better.
I liked the idea of a movie that focuses on the part of professional sports most films barely even mention; sports …
Caveman
When I was a really young kid, I was infatuated with dinosaurs. I guess every kid probably was. I lived right outside of D.C. so I had no problems with visiting the museum regularly. I remember some cartoons like the Flintstones which celebrated the union between man and reptillian …
“On the Beach” Movie
The 1959 movie “On the Beach” is a classic story of Armageddon that resulted in a nuclear war that brought an end to human life on the planet Earth. The film was directed by Stanley Kramer and is extremely well done. Gregory Peck stars as a commander of the …
Lone Survivor (war movie)
Lone Survivor was one of those movies that I delayed watching for a very long time, and ended up regretting my choice because it turned out so well. I’m also happy that I didn’t allow myself to read any of the reviews online about it, since about half of them …
Harry potter
Harry potter is the movie, which my 3 years old son has liked a lot. I had been to the theatre with my little son and my husband 2 weeks back. The action in the movie is very good and the comedy is excellent. The costume …
Argo (movie)
Argo is a Biography, History and Drama movie based on a true story. A story of six American Ambassadors who managed to escape from the Embassy while it was attacked by some revolutionists of Iran. The story was directed by Ben Affleck who directed one of my favourite movies …
Reflecting Skin
A hypnotic film with Viggo Mortensen about him coming home after a long time to take care of his younger brother. The Reflecting Skin is the closest thing to cinematic poetry I have ever seen. The boundaries between dream and reality is completely erased here and the only thing …
Freaky Friday (2003 movie)
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan switch bodies and lives as they struggle with acceptance issues. One being a successful career oriented woman and the other being a high school teenager, they can’t seem to get along, so, one day they were in an oriental restaurant and they were …
The Movie Atlantis The Lost Empire
I have personally always liked the story of Atlantis. The idea of such a city is an intriguing one and its one that has been told for generations. When Disney came out with Atlantis I was really curious to see how good it would be. The trailer …
Someone Like You - (starring Ashley Judd)
Ashley Judd stars as Jane in this date movie called Someone Like You. I love the performance of Hugh Jackman in here as well and he is basically someone that comes into Jane’s life after she has suffered a break-up and more.
He talks to her about life, …
Cry Baby movie
I think I watched almost every one of Johnny Depp’s later films before I finally got around to watching one of his first ones, Cry Baby. After seeing the movie for the first time, I can understand why it has become a bit of a cult movie.
While the overall …

A crime story that leads to the criminal actually getting away with the crime. This is the story of a man who gets involved with a woman from a wealthy family, during that courtship period, he encounters a stunning actress and they share a mutual attraction that they both …
Return to Me movie
Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …
He’s Just Not That Into You - Movie
I thought this is going to be another boring chick flick, but looking at the cast; with Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, I knew deep inside that it is definitely a babes galore! And I’m right. Even if you don’t love this story plot, for guys …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …
Hard Rain movie
The idea of Hard Rain is quite simple: a storm has caused a whole town to be overflooded which results in chaos for an armored truck guard played by Christian Slater. He is forced to hide the money from his truck not to risk it getting stolen, but is …
Storm over Asia movie
In this epic montage film by Pudovkin, the story of mongolian warlord Djenghis Khan is told, or rather, the last days of Djengis Khan. It’s a very complex and sometimes confusing story, but Pudovkin really found and perfected his visual with this work of art. The style these montage …
Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
