I loved watching this movie. It’s about man who is sometimes controlled by the other side of him. I think that they did an amazing job how they captured the other side of him, how they did the whole movie. Kevin Costner plays mr. brooks. He does a great …

There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …

All good things must eventually end and such is the case for the much beloved, Lieutenant Columbo. After decades of solving murders, the very last movie was aired in 2003. Columbo Likes the Nightlife is the swan song for the rumpled raincoat-clad detective. It’s the last …

The Accidental Husband is a movie story that I’ve watched before starring Uma Thurman, Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The story is something like a romantic comedy and Uma’s acting is pretty commendable here.

For a Twilight fan like myself, wating for New Moon to be released in the theaters felt like such a long wait. I wanted to watch the sneak preview, but I couldn’t get any ticket, and it was next to impossible too on November 20, 2009, the official …

The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …

F.W. Murnau was one of the most inventive filmmakers of the late silent era, completing a number of most original pieces of film history. Sadly his career was way to short as he died at a young age, but he did have time to put his mark on cinema …

I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …

Australian Director’s Animated Comedy ‘Happy Feet’ can best be described as just a fun, somewhat funny, family comedy. Lets clear from the very beginning, that while this film did win the Best Animated Film Oscar, it is not exactly the most satisfying movie experience. There is not much in …

Rhythm in the Clouds from 1937 just did nothing for me in spite of the fact that on the surface it had a story that might normally intrigue me. To be honest, I am not certain why that lure did not happen.
Rhythm in the Clouds starred Patricia Ellis …

Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …

Red Eye is a very engaging thriller with a very gripping plot and equally gripping screen play. The movie stars Rachel Mcadams and Cillian Murphy in the main roles. Rachel McAdams does a very fine job and her performance needs special appreciation. The performance of Cillian Murphy, who plays …

I thought Bubble Boy was a very funny and cool movie. It was very funny yet sad at the same time. I thought the boy who played Bubble Boy did a great job of acting. Everyone else also did a pretty good job of acting in the movie as well. …

Like most movies I have an interest in seeing, this one disappeared from the cinemas before I had a chance to see it. I enjoyed it even though it contained many of the things I mentioned in my review of “Little Miss Sunshine” as things that could be …

Man of the Year is a good comedy. From all of the trailors I thought they would actually let the comedian become president not that he would get the truth out in time. I enjoyed the movie I just think it would have been funnier the other way if …

When I saw this movie the firs thing that surprised me was Christian Slater was still acting. I was sure he had dissapeared into oblivion years ago, but based on his starrign role in the film he obviously still has a lot left to offer the cinema world and …

I rented and watched the sisterhoods of traveling pants 2 today. I’ve never seen the first one but I understood most of it. It was kind of boring at parts, and I felt like something was missing in it. It is a teen movie so maybe that is why …

There is a reason why I love watching movies that involved epic wars, adventure and of course, a talented director named Riddley Scott. One such movie is entitled Kingdom of Heaven, a story about the crusaders during the early 11th century. Though it is not a recent movie, I …

I was so excited to see this movie after seeing the first two, that perhaps my standards were too high. After seeing sequels of this genre like Star Wars and The …

My Fair Lady is definitely one of the best Audrey Hepburn films to date. I’m not enthralled by the designer, Ralph Lauren and his bygone collection inspired from this musical film. But it aroused my interest to watch it anyway. All its posters in Technicolor suggested …

In must admit that I really enjoy watching Mandy Moore’s movie; however “Dedication” failed to impress me. Even though the great actors, Diane Wiest and Tom Wilkinson give a lot to this movie, ultimately I found it a boring romantic comedy. It seems that I am not the only …

This is a truly classic movie that had me crying even though it’s a love story/action story. The setting is in the World War where the Americans are at battle with Japan, and Kate Beckinsale is a nurse stationed at Pearl Harbor; best friends Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck …

Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …

Half Nelson is one of those movie that you absolutely have to watch more than once just because you can never get all the details and all the meaning from the first time. There is not a single false movie in the movie, there isn’t a single acting moment …

Iron Man, I thought it was going to be a movie for the boys, like transformers or something like that, but it was really something more. It was a movie for everyone. It was mysterious, suspenseful, and even had a dash of romance. I have put it on my …

The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
