Cop Out Feature Film
This movie made me sad to watch. How far has Bruce Willis fallen that he does this kind of movie? I get why Tracy Morgan was happy to make this film, but Bruce could do so much better. The action was nice, it was not …
“Get Him To The Greek” (2010 film)
I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All movie
From 1989, Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All stars Stacy Keach in the title role of the famous private eye created by Mickey Spillane. This is somewhat of a weird plot that has Mike Hammer being transported covertly to Las Vegas. One thing leads to another and Hammer …
Roman Holiday,1953 movie

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End
Pirates 1 and 2 were sufficient movies, but perhaps they were riding too much on the originality factor. Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End really feels done before. With the same cast of characters, and dozens more, Pirates 3 seems like a 3 hour family reunion during …
Inspector Gadget movie
Inspector gadget is complete gizmo movie with unrealistic and unimaginable twisys and turns. Though the movie is completely unrealistic it has some good performances by Matthew Broderick both as the gadget inspector and evil robot and by Rupert Everett. The movie starts with the female lead Brenda and …

Pursuit of happiness
Pursuit of Happiness starring Will Smith is the best movie I had ever seen in terms of potraying the real life situation. The struggle to existence and the survival of the fittest theory has been explained beautifully in the movie. Will smith acts as a ordinary sales person although …
Cinderella Man
This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …

10,000 B.C.
I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …
New Capitol Cinema
I don’t watch movies often but when I do, I prefer it to be a good experience. In all my years of stay here in Botswana I have been a few times to the movie house. I must say I am impressed with the system here. It’s probably better …
Catwoman
“Catwoman”, released in 2004, was supposed to be a blockbuster, due to the fact that it was based on a comic book superhero and because it starred Halle Berry. It’s fortunate for her that her career was strong enough to survive this movie, because it was way beneath …

Movie Cold Case
Though there are no stars, Cold Case has an effective chemistry in its cast selection. Out of the multitude of cop shows, this show is unique in its absence of angry detectives that seem to be prevalent. Also, the use of flashbacks is well practiced and keeps …
The Wrestler (2008) Movie
I recorded this movie on Sky Plus and then did not watch it for the longest time, until recently. This is because despite the fact that it stars Mickey Rourke - one of my most favourite actors - I did prejudge that, despite all the critics raving about …
Blood and Black Lace movie
This is Mario Bava at his best. With a cinematic style that was later to become the famous “giallo” genre in italian film industry is here more or less invented by Bava himself. A hideous murder story, unpredictable shock sequences, poweful imagery with a lot of camera movement and …

Sleuth movie
A writer who love all kinds of games invites his wife’s lover to his house in a struggle between life and death. This is a most clever film with the brilliant actors Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier in the leading roles. All twists in the plot reminds a little …
Far Cry, film by Uwe Boll
Uwe Boll is not the best choice when it comes to video game movie adaptations. His track record is bad (I thought Postal was good) but some how he still gets the rights to these video games and makes them into films. Far Cry is the video game based …
The Hot Chick Movie
This is a really funny and crazy movie that I would want to watch from time to time! It features Rachel McAdams and Anna Faris as close buddies, they’re really sort of a mean clique because of Rachel as their leader, but when they’re all together they’re really sweet …
Movie: You’ve Got Mail
“You’ve Got Mail” has a couple of good taglines, “someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life,” and “at odds in life… in love on-line.” Both of them fit in very well with the plot of the movie. One should remember that ten …
Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona is a very funny movie inspite of the fact that a lady dies in the very opening scene. The woman is Mona and Bette Midler played the character in a very convincing and powerful way. She dies in the very first scene when her car falls in …
Rec Movie
This movie came out a while ago but I am reviewing it because I would like to view Spanish films from Spain to improve my understanding of the language.
First off, I have to say that at the beginning, this movie did help me with my Spanish, with a myriad …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …
Knowing Feature Film
The movie Knowing was a pleasant surprise for me. I did not see any advertisements for it when it hit the theaters and I knew nothing about it when I rented it except that it was a horror movie and it had Nick Cage in it. …
Unstoppable (movie)
I watched this movie a few Saturdays ago with two other members of my family, and even though I thought it could have been a little better, it certainly surpassed my expectations of what it might have been like. Based on the ads of it that I saw on …

Big Nothing movie
“Big Nothing” is a comedy about how to stay on the wrong side of the law with the actors, David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg at their best. I must admit that this movie could have been better if there was good work on the script and the way it …
The Uninvited - Suspense thriller
Expectations were a lot from ‘The Uninvited’ but it was all gone after seeing the movie. The trailers shown on TV were too promising. You cannot say that it is a horror movie except for some creepy scenes when Anna, played by Emily Browning, is been visited by the …

Movie Funny Girl

This movie was phenomenal, it was beyond entertaining. The …
The Franchise Collection Riddick Trilogy
One of the great things to come out of DVD marketing in recent years is the the franchise collection, collecting numerous movies in a particular franchise and offering them all in one box at a cheap price. For example we have here the Riddick Trilogy, which provides us …
Holiday in Handcuffs
ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …
Sunshine DVD Movie
When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …
Silent Movie
I finally got a chance to watch one of the two Mel Brooks movies I haven’t seen before; Silent Movie (the other one I haven’t seen is High Anxiety). I saw it was available on my Netflix player and took advantage of the service.
This was a great movie.
The film, …
Alice In Wonderland (2010)

Up (2009) movie
I went to see this movie early June after hearing wonderful things about it. I had previously watched the Pixar’s other movie WALL-E and loved it, so I had great expectations. I figured Up would also have some kind of global message such respecting the environment in WALL-E; why …
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 …
Moana - Disney animation movie
With two small girls in the house, it is inevitable that our movie selections revolve around animations that the kids can watch. Moana, the Disney animation movie about a little girl that gets “chosen” by the ocean to save their tribe is such a stunning movie that I don’t even …
