Erin Brockovich
This is a very beautiful movie. Well, it’s based on the life of activist Erin Brockovich, so there’s nothing much we can do or comment about the plot or story line. Erin lived a very inspiring, albeit controversial life and we owe some respect as to how she lives …

From Paris With Love (2010) movie

‘There will be blood’ is a good English movie. But it is also rather sad to watch this movie because the movie shows the exploitation of the lower class. Directed by Paul Thomas, the movie is a grim one. The main actor has performed well. It is not possible …
Movie War of the Worlds (2005)

Failure to launch/Matthew Mcconagughey & Sarah Jessica Parker
I loved this movie tremendously. As a survivor of the dating scene, I think we have all encountered at least one guy like this. It seems like he is the perfect guy that you have long been searching for. He has all the great qualities and looks irresistable. Then …
Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …

An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …

Movie: The Ruins
When I think of The Ruins the words for decription that come to mind is unexpected surprise. Although I’m a huge fan of horror films, creature features are not the ones I enjoy the most. I don’t even remember why I put this on my netflix queue …

Casino Royale
Bond movies recently have not lived up to there predecessors from the Connery or Dalton days. So, Casino Royale is just another money grab with the 007 nametag right? Wrong. Not only is this one of the best Bond movies, it is also one of the …

This is quite simply my favorite movie of all time, and that is saying a lot considering how many movies I have seen. This is one of the few films that I personally think is flawless. Indiana Jones is the best character to ever hit the big …
Hall Pass (movie)
I didn’t find the comedy “Hall Pass” to be as hilarious as some reviewers made it out to b. To me it was moderately funny, which was much better than I expected a comedy starring “Owen Wilson” to be since I usually think his comedies are lacking in humour. …
