Mr Brooks
Starring Kevin Costner (Earl Brooks), Demi Moore (Detective Tracy Atwood), William Hurt (Marshall), Dane Cook (Mr Smith), Marg Helgenberger (Emma Brooks), Danielle Panabaker (Jane Brooks)
The name ‘Kevin Costner’ attracted me when I was searching for a movie to watch. It cannot be too bad a show if Costner …
Cocktail
“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …
Ant-Man, 2015 Action, Science Fiction Movie
Much the same as the majority of the Marvel lovers, I didn’t care for the idea of Ant man when it was declared by Marvel. I thought the idea was very silly and faltering on the grounds and I thought “In what manner becoming littler be heroic?” particularly in correlation …
The Island movie
If there ever was a movie that made you think about cloning and all the moral dilemas with it, The Island is definitely it.

Miracle on Ice
I do not like hockey; I just don’t. It’s violent; besides, who can follow that puck around the ice? Still, during the 1980 Winter Olympics, I found myself watching a few of the hockey games. The reason was the phenomenal run to the gold that the …
Movie: Charade
Charade is one of my favorite movies ever and has two of the best actors ever: Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. I mean with the two of them, how can you go wrong? The movie is fantastic and of course the acting is great! The movie centers around Audrey …
Monsters VS Aliens 3D
This is the 2nd movie that I have seen in 3D. The 3D effect is indeed a visual treat. It is very entertaining and it took movie watching up a notch. It is as if you can actually touch and feel the characters. Kids and adult alike enjoy such visual …

Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …

The movie was …

E.T., The Extraterrestrial
Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …

The Pink Panther movie
This is one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. Although the plot is predictable and somewhat cheesy, the character’s ridiculous antics make the movie absolutely hilarious.
