Evidence of Blood movie
Evidence of Blood came out in 1998 and like the true, old south, it moves slowly. No, it doesn’t move, it crawls. Everything is told in a deliberate, snail-like drawl that is agonizingly slow. I’m all for murder mysteries, but I need something to keep me …

Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …

It stars …

Dead End movie
This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Life isn’t measured in minutes, but in moments…a tag line well portrayed in the character of Benjamin Button. The general plot concerns a man who ages backwards, thus it goes something like: “I was born under unusual circumstances.” The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is adapted …
Movie: 300
First half of the movie was honestly bored but as it get closed to the war scene, it became the best war movie i have ever seen in my life. Only three hundred people were fighting against a huge country for their country. There was a man who called …
Tokyo Majin Episode 3

This episode was pretty good, …
The Little Mermaid
My daughter has dozens of original Disney films in our library for her to watch. One of my favorites of these has to be the classic movie “The Little Mermaid.”
Now, I’ve read the original story (and several other versions) and the movie does clean things up a little bit. …
Transformers
It has been long time that I was able to watch such a wonderful movie. I don’t know whether most of them agree with it or no but I just love the movie. The way the camera rolls over the fights and scenes and comedy was more interesting and …
Prison Break Season 2 Episode 12- Disconnect
Prison Break is really great show even its worst episode are better than other shows. But it helps to be that this new with a little bit disappointing. The problem was that nothing much was really happening in it. It was just a lot of emotional …

Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …
Babel (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to actually rent this movie. I knew that anything starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett would be really interesting. This movie did not disappoint. Following a couple who’s vacationing in and through Morocco, the audience gets to witness the aftermath occurring …
The Reaping (R, 2007) movie
This is not your ordinary horror film. Based on some pretty heavy Biblical references, if you are not into supernatural themes, you will get really bored with this one. That being said, Hilary Swank gives a believable performance in this thriller. This isn’t the type of …
Muppet Treasure Island (movie)
This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …
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 …
Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead
A few days ago, I was looking at new movies available for watch on our Netflix Instant Watch service and came across an older movie called Castle of the Walking Dead.
I had never heard of this movie before. But, it had Christopher Lee in it and sounded somewhat interesting …

Clueless
Clueless, a hit movie about teenagers more than a decade ago, was one of my favorite movies as a teenager. This movie was shown at a perfect timing for me as a teenager myself during the 90’s. Its main character, Cher, played by Alicia Siverstone, could be a good …
A face to die for
You know, sometimes the best movies out there are those that are made for television. Proof of that can be found in the 1996 made-for-TV movie “A Face to Die For.”
This movie has Yasmine Bleeth starring as a disfigured woman who is conned by her boyfriend into committing a …
The Glass House Movie
This movie had a really nice title, and I thought it had something to do with the mansion that’s all made of glass and as I expected it was, and the owners here in the movie are actually Mr. Terry (Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd) and Erin Glass (Diane Lane) who are …
Virtuosity movie
The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …
Once (2007 Musical Film)
I have seen plenty of musical films that take the generic route but not this one, the music is the real heart of this movie. The characters and the plot revolves around the idea of making good songs that will move the audiences without asking them.
I was moved watching this …
High Anxiety Movie
Our youngest daughter took a late nap yesterday evening and, as a result, didn’t want to go to bed at her usual hour.
Rather than fight her, I decided to stay up with her and got some movie watching in at the same time.
Last night was the first time I …
“Grindhouse” (2007 double feature)
“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …
The Social Network: Movie
The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …
Limitless Movie (2011)
I am going to tell you right from the start that I have watched Limitless movie (starring Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper) about a dozen times now. So it is pretty obvious I loved it very much.
There is something about the movie that makes you want to either …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two
I went to the theater this weekend to see the 3D version of the latest Harry Potter movie: Deathly Hallows Part Two. Since it is the final movie in the series, I was very excited. I’d wanted to see a 3D Harry Potter movie for a long …
Pitch Black movie
A space ship with humans is travelling through space. It crashes on an unknown planet, and the passengers starts exploring the environment. The planet is already inhabited by another species, a most unfriendly one who don’t like aliens.
I have always been very fascinated by this subject. Other space, other …
Cars The Movie (Pixar)
As an animation enthusiast I am in love with what companies like Pixar do. In my opinion Cars is one of their greatest creations.
When Cars first hit the theaters it was my must see movie of the year. I am by no means a child on the outside, but …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
Movie You, Me and Dupree
“You, Me and Dupree” is a great hilarious movie. This movie proved to be important also for the actors, Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson because it is on this set of this movie that they meet each other and later on fall in love. Other actors in this flick …
Star Trek Nemesis
I was home sick yesterday and found myself watching Star Trek Nemesis for the first time in several years.
I has been a long time since I last saw the movie so I had no memory of what it was about. And, compared to other Star Trek movies, I think …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie
I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …
Mangal Pandey - movie
Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …
Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD
I saw the Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD at the store and picked it up, thinking that it might be interesting. I’m not a fan of the racer, but I do think he’s talented and does some great things both on and off the track. I put it in …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …
The Rack movie
What a cast! I can’t believe I’ve let some quality Paul Newman films slip by without seeing them. I’ve always enjoyed Newman; he was a favorite of mine since I first saw him as a little girl. Somehow, though, I’ve been remiss in not catching some …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
Movie: Splintered
Synopsis: A woman travels to a rural part of Great Britain in an effort to find out the truth behind attacks that were credited to a fox. While exploring, she is kidnapped and held prisoner by a man who is claiming to be protecting her from a monster.
What I …
Moulin Rouge movie
I must admit that I was very much surprised by Moulin Rouge when I saw it. It’s not really my kind of movie, being an artsy, somewhat burlesque style of film, but I was so impressed with the singing talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor that it …
