Venom Feature Film (2005)
I love horror movies but this one was a real dud. The horror parts were fine, the blood and gore looked believable and the death scenes were realistic and well acted. My main problem with this film is it lacked suspense and it was boring. Normally …
“Color Me Blood Red” (1965 Film)
During the early to mid ’60s, renowned horror film writer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. The third installment to a set of three definitive splatter films, known as “The Blood Trilogy”, Color Me Blood Red kept the “blood” theme going strong. After viewing the film, …
Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman movie
Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman was a very compelling story about a woman named Angelica Evans. She is a nightclub singer and she marries another singer, Ken Conway. As she is giving birth to their daughter, nicknamed Angel, Ken sings a romantic ballad instead of his …
Peace, Love and Misunderstanding (comedy drama)
While I do like some independent drama films, I didn’t think I would enjoy this one based on the description that I had seen of it. My impression was that it would probably be too boring for me to enjoy or I wouldn’t be able to relate at all. However, …
FLCL
The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …
Ocean’s Eleven
I am a huge fan of all of the Ocean’s movies, Ocean’s eleven probably being my favorite of the three so far. What I love about this movie is that the makers never forget that this movie if made up of STARS and every single characters gets to …
The Green Man movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Green Man, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, The Green …
Fathers’ Day
Won’t it be great to live with two dads such as Billy Crystal and Robin Williams? In can imagine that you will laugh through life all the way! When I heard that these two great stars decided to join forces for the movie “Fathers’ Day”, I expected to have …
The Strangers (2008)
I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …
King Arthur (2004)
This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …
Days of being wild movie
The chinese director Wong Kar-Wai is my absolute favorite to appear during the last 20 years. Days of being wild is only his second film ever, made in the early 1990s, but already here he showed his amazing talent with an entirely unique way of putting images together and …
Dying To Tell - Robert Goddard
Goddard narrates this classic story “Dying to Tell”, in his usual mysterious, intrinsic and deep way by creating eccentric characters that evolve the story.
Lance Bradley, lives in the little town called Glastonbury in Somerset. Once he receives a phone call from Rupert Alder’s sister. Rupert was a friend …
The Restless by CJ Entertainment
A Korean movie, starred by Jeong Woo-Seong, Kim Tae-Hee, Heo Joon-Ho. A good romantic, fantasy, martial art movie with great and beautiful effects. They will take you to the set of the “Midheaven” or “Joongcheon”, a world between life and death, where the spirits supposed to wait …
She’s The Man (2006)
I always love the movie about a woman who disquises as a man with a special purpose and this movie really gives me what I expect.
It is about Viola, a girl who wants to prove to her boyfriend that woman can beat man in football game and that’s why, …
Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …
Identity Thief (movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Identity Thief on youtube before it came out I never really thought that it stood out, and so I wasn’t particularly interested in watching it. However, one or two people who I know encouraged me to watch it a little after …
Harry potter
The Harry Potter is an ever-liked movie. Such movies are seen rare but all these kinds of movies give a kind of pleasure to the mind. I have watched all the parts of the Harry potter movie. The Last part of the Harry potter is excellent …
Blue Velvet movie
The both controversial and beloved filmmaker David Lynch has been acclaimed for his unique artistic style and criticised for his way of showing brutal violence. My favorite of all his works is the incredibly emotionally powerful and mysterious tv-series Twin Peaks that totally flabbergasted me as a young teenager …
Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
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 …
Scream (1996)
Scream, directed by Wes Craven is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong graphic horror violence and gore, and for language. The original release date was December 20, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Horror/Mystery/Thriller and stars David Arquette …
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 …
Toy Story 3 movie
I’ve been looking forward to the new Toy Story movie for a long time. I loved the first two. However, I really wanted to know that young Andy, now grown up and 17, would still love his toys and would keep them. Hey, I’m way over …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …
Planet of the Apes (1968)
The original and still the best, this movie tells the story of a group of astronauts who, while deep in the hibernation state, crash landed on a strange planet. After waking up to find one of the crew members dead, they disembark their space craft and continued to survey …
Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …
Because I Said So
I watched this story before, Because I Said So, starring one of my most favorite actress, Mandy Moore and the very talented and awesome Diane Keaton.
This is a very good movie story to watch if you are a mother and if you are a daughter. I’m sorry, …
Jesse Stone: Night Passage movie
From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith:Movie
It starts with a couple in counselling…funny…that’s how it ends also, but that’s not the highlight. They are actually contract killers in disquise as ordinary everyday hardworking civilians. They go out in the mornings to their respective jobs and they come home every evening to have dinner by 7pm. …
Anthony Kaun Hai (movie) August, 2006
The movie Anthony Kaun Hai released on 4th of August, 2006. The meaning if the title of the film is Who Is Anthony in English. The movie has been directed by Raj Kaushal. It is a pretty stupid and complicating film. The lead actors of the film are Sanjay …
Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …

X-men Origins: Wolverine
As soon as I saw this movie, I knew I had to watch it, because I was a child in the nineties and was interested in the x-men cartoons and the movies when they came out. I also thought that the trailers made the movie seem amazing and that …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was better than the first two movies, in my opinion. Granted, I haven’t seen the other two in a while now, so my opinion could change if I watched the first two movies again. I watched Ice Age 3 in 3D, but …
Saw (2004 movie)
A deranged serial killer sets the table for his next victims. Nobody knows who the real killer is, every one keeps pointing the finger at a certain individual, and when it’s all said and done, it turns out that person is also just a puppet in the serial killers …
Nightmare of Elm Street movie (2010)
I recently went and saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I think most people know the plot line to nightmare on Elm Street, and for those few who don’t it’s a pretty simple slasher flick. A badly burned Psycho who was killed years ago by an angry mob …
Turner & Hooch (1989)
Turner & Hooch, directed by Roger Spottiswoode is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 28, 1989 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime/Thriller and stars Tom Hanks as Detective Scott Turner, Mare Winningham as Dr. …
The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …
ATM (2012 horror movie)
I had to admit that the plot for the horror movie “ATM” was certainly unique. It was that which made me interested in viewing it in the first place, even though I honestly had to wonder about how such a plot would be sustainable for an entire feature length film. …
Epic Movie
It’s been since last night since I watched Epic Movie and I’m still a bit torn about whether I liked the movie or not. Well, maybe I should rephrase that, I did like it, I’m just not sure if I should have been disappointed in it.
Epic Movie was an …
Sanctum Movie
This movie really interested and intrigued me since I love swimming and everything outdoors and my husband was a licensed diver himself, and we wanted to watch this since we thought we could relate to the movie, and we did. The movie is called Sanctum and they say the …

The sequel to Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo takes Deuce to Europe to look for his good friend and pimp TJ, while there, it comes to their attention that some one is going around and killing all of the male prostitutes in Europe. Deuce encounters a lot of hostility as …
Where the Wild Things Are
As a child, I was fascinated with the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, and years later, I enjoyed reading it to my own kids. I didn’t have an excuse to see the movie, and I had thought about asking one of my friends’ children to accompany me, …
Brown Sugar movie
Backwhen I was still in high school, the movie “Brown Sugar” seemed ot be a big thing amongst some of my peers. At the time I didn’t know what many people where talking about either since I neither heard about it nor saw it advertise. Poeple were even talking …
Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2
I myself am not a die-hard Twilight Fan but I have seen the movies and liked them for the most part. However, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 was not as good as I thought that it would be. I had expected the finale to be similar in grandeur to …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
Avatar movie
From the director of Titanic, I did not expect anything lesser than a truly spectacular and touching movie. And even with this high expectation Avatar did not let me down. Avatar is a movie which kept me fully engaged in the theater for every seconds of the movie. In …
Tell No One - (starring Kristin Scott Thomas)
How would one feel when the wife of a few years dead in a high-profile murder case suddenly sends a message indicating her existence? That’s more or less the plot of Tell No One, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Francois Cluzet.
Margot is the name of the wife …
Movie Into the Wild
Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …
