Curse of Frankenstein
I have seen almost every Frankenstein movie ever made and have to say, after seeing Curse of Frankenstein, I’m convinced Christopher Lee is the best at playing the classic literary monster (sorry Boris Karloff).
Made in the 1950s, The Curse of Frankenstein actually focuses more on Victor Frankenstein (played by …

I took my 5 and 3 year old to see Hotel for Dogs today. Both kids sat through it and loved it! The movie was very kid friendly and rated appropriately.

In today’s society of “I”, “me” and “myself”, 7 Pounds is a story of selflessness. The film stars Hollywood star Will Smith as he went on to give “himself” to 7 deserving individuals as penance for the seven lives he destroyed in a freak accident.
Aside from the Pursuit …
You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail (1998) Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is a classic meg flick. She’s at her usual, quirky best; off beat and fun.
Hanks also known for his romantic comedies, mostly co-starring along side Meg; this movie won’t disappoint you.
You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …

Dawn of the Dead (2004)
When I was a youngster, I was not much of a horror movie fan, so I did not see get around to seeing George Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978. It has only been since I became an adult that I have grown to appreciate the …
Big Fat Liar
“Big Fat Liar” is the living proof that you can make a great movie without having big actors in it. The main actors of this movie are the young actors, Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes who up to 2002, when the movie was produced, they were not very much …
Rush Beyond The Lighted Stage
One of the Dvd’s I bought from Walmart the other day was a Documentary about Rush called Beyond The Lighted Stage. This movie discussed the band and also it features a bonus disc with lots of concert footage like the epic performance of La Villa Strangiato at Pinkpop in …
Mr Arkadin movie
What could have been a major masterpiece by Orson Welles was severely cut down by the production company as they thought it was “too boring” and to mr Welles’ devastation he found yet another of his works butchered and lost forever. It was the exactly same thing with The …
Made of Honor
I watched the Made of Honor movie with my friends; we were not keen on going for the movie as my sister said it was not that great. Since all of us were bored out our minds, we went for it. The movie was good and ok. It is …
Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok)
In the movie, Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok) this talented actor has certainly looked more mature over the years. And he does look more mature than he already is in this movie with his mustache and all. Acting as a police, he has to crack a case that he …
Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
Nowadays, the marriage issue centers upon gay marriages, with Supreme Court cases hearing issues from state cases on the legality of same sex marriages. Back in 1967, when Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner was released, the marriage issue had been centered upon interracial relationships. It was not by accident. …
“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 …

Godzilla 1954
Godzilla 1954 is so much better than the American release, Godzilla 1956. Godzilla 1954 was just recently released in America for the first time ever and it is an incredible film. Unlike the butchered American version which deleted scenes considered to horrific and removed other scenes in favor of …
Brick (the film)

The only thing Brendan was known …
Rose Red (2002 Rilm)
Stephen King has been one of my favorite authors for creepy and late night frightening stories of all time. One of his stories that turned to a movie, the 2002 production of “Rose Red” was not only chilling and suspenseful but a movie I have strangely grown to really …

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
Even though I have yet to attempt to read the books, I actually enjoy the Harry Potter movies when they come out. However, the fourth installment of the series, The Goblet of Fire, seems a bit weak compared to the first three.
I think part of it is the characters …
Men In Black II
The sequel to Men In Black suffers from the same disease that plagues most sequels, it fails to live up to the expectations that viewers had after the masterpiece of the first movie. One of the saving graces of this sequel is that the main characters come back, even …
Tron
I really loved watching Tron as a young kid. I still enjoy watching Tron now that I am grown up. Tron is the movie that started computer animation mixed with humans. I have so many great memories of this movie.
I think Jeff Bridges did a great job acting as Flynn. …
The city in the movies of 3 directors
The 3 Directors:
Bimal Roy - Kabuliwala
Satyajit Ray - Mahanagar
Vittorio De Sica - Bicycle Thieves
Among the three directors Bimal Roy has most positive attitude (in Kabuliwala), where he shows the city like the other two, as some a place where you can get employment, but he is more positive about …
The Day after Tomorrow Movie

The Dark Knight
The sequel to Batman Begins was a real shocker, it was very different than the first, and I will admit that it was one of the darkest movies that I have ever seen, but also one of the very best. I was so sad when I heard that Heath …
Sparkling Cyanide movie
Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …
Thirteen Ghost’s (2001 Film)
The 2001 film Thirteen Ghosts does wonders if you are looking to be scared of things that go bump in the night, or the things you can’t see that go bump in the night. But other than the scary ghost that left me wondering if I was truly alone, …
The Fighting Sullivans

Cujo
If you are not afraid of dogs by now you will be after watching the movie Cujo. Stephen King is the master of horror and he really does make you fear dogs and never look at them in the same way ever again. The movie is about a a killer …
The Banger Sisters
In all honesty I don’t know why Susan Sarandon decided to participate in an average movie such as “The Banger Sisters”. The only reason that comes to my mind is that, after 11 years, from her successful movie “Thelma & Louise”, she thought this movie will have the same …

Dr. Strangelove (1964 movie)
I decided to watch this black comedy because one of my friends at school simply would not stop talking about it, I mean I’d never seen one of my friends so transfixed on a movie before. However, after seeing it myself I certainly understood his enthusiasm. This movie is …
Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing
I have wanted to see the documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing for several years now, but only got around to it last week. I was a fan of the group, but I became a real fan after they were literally blackballed by the right wingers in the …

50 first dates movie
50 first dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore is a nice romantic comedy and is a very good entertainer. The movie must be watched just for Adam Sandler’s comic sense and Drew Barrymore’s beauty. Henry sees Lucy in a restaurant and likes her at the very first instant …
Grease (1978)
Let me start off by saying that this movie right here that goes by the name ‘Grease’ is the best musical movie that has ever been made and to date is still the best musical movie ever! In no other movie will you be so drawn to each character …

Gone Girl (psychological thriller movie)
Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …
Hostel: Part II (2007)
Three American female students are lured to a hostel in Slovakia where terrible things happen to people. Pickup up from where the first one left off, this sequel as most sequels do, does not live up to the previous movie.
While on the train to Prague, they encounter bad mannered …
The Interview (comedy movie)
With all the controversy surrounding the movie “The Interview” I knew I just had to watch it from the very day I heard about it. Therefore, I waited until Sony Pictures made it available for my viewing by streaming it on Youtube, and frankly it was just as I expected. …

Letter of Introduction movie

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps movie
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps began with an opening teaser before the credits that featured Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) being released from prison, and it was fantastic. The mobile phone bit is a hoot, but the poignancy of the moment came when Gekko was watching the other released …
Halloween 2
My wife and I saw the first Halloween re-make when it came out and wanted to see the sequel to it. We got a chance to do that last night.
While a decent movie, I can honestly say it didn’t live up to the first one.
I liked the fact they …
IMDB
It sounds silly but, IMDB.com is one of my favorite websites on the internet. The website is basically a place to find information on every single movie or television program, and every single person involved in a particular movie or television program.
If you are a movie buff like …
