I’m Reed Fish (2006)
To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …

Movie Seven Pounds
I recently had the pleasure of watching this movie. I thought that the acting was great, they did a great job of getting you fully engrossed in the movie which I liked. It was a bit slow in the beginning however, but all of that pays off because you …
I am Legend
First when i saw this movie poster, i think that Will Smith will play another dramatic with full of messages movie like his previous movie “the pursuit of happiness”, but well i’m wrong. This movie is not at all about drama and great quotes and meaningfull for life, this …
Sherlock Holmes movie (2009)
Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …
Analyze This (1998), movie
American comedies have become part of a cliche after the 90s, the main plot being based simply on a failed relationship or some other unsatisfying cheesy drama. What I can claim to be a good comedy with cleverly conceived humour is ‘Analyze This’, the 1998 movie starring Billy Crystal, …
Cheech and Chong’s nice dreams
This was on comedy central today so I watched it because I have never seen it. Even though it’s an old movie I really enjoyed it. I thought it was quite funny. There were a couple of parts that I thought were stupid. For the most part it was …
City of God (crime drama movie)
When I watched the 2002 crime drama “City of God” recently, I just found it hard to believe that a film so good had escaped my notice for so many years. The thing is it’s one of those films whose plot revolves around gangsters, life in the ghetto and gang …
When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …
Blue Jasmine (2013 Comedy-Drama Film)
2013 was the year I was really introduced to “film and cinema”. It was the year when I had a very unforgettable experience with Alfonso Cuaron’s “Gravity”, which made me root for it in the following Oscars. It was the year when I started paying attention to the Academy Awards …
Pirates of the carebean
You’ll be hearing sounds often in this film. The action is packed into nearly every partof this movie. Remember the sword fight between Depp and Bloom early in the first film. I found that to be the highlight of the fight scenes.You think I?m exaggerating? Not even close. Just …
Scream 2
I give most of my reviews on DVD movies, due to the fact that I love watching television and movies.
When I first watched this movie, I was interested and intrigued from the start of it until the end. To me, the movie was very suspenseful and dramatic. Everytime there …
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.

Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Film)

“She’s out of your league” Feature Film
I really enjoyed watching this film. It is the usual silly movie where a guy goes after a woman out of his league, there are many of them in hollywood at any time, but this one was a little different. For starters, the layers of humor that …
Au Revoir Les Enfants (drama movie)
To some extent, the movie is said to be based on director Louis Malle’s remorseful recollection of events in 1944 during the time when the Nazis occupied France. ‘Au Revoir Les Enfants’ is a subtle and yet powerful film that reveals to us the potentials that can befall when …

When I was a kid, I loved the Heidi movies and TV shows. It’s quite possible I saw A Gift for Heidi then, but if I did, I don’t remember. When it aired last night, I was in the mood so gave it a watch. I …
Starship Troopers (movie 1997)
Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey and Dina Meyer star in this sci-fi/thriller/action/drama type movie. Filmed looking like a commercial, it takes us to a far away planet where bugs rule. War is waged and alot of beings die…this is a very bloody movie, and that …
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 …
Balls of Fury movie
I think Balls of Fury is a very funny and crazy movie. And of course I am going to like this movie, it has Christopher Walken in it. He is one of my favorite actors and He does a wonderful job of acting in this great film. He is at …
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (movie)
After I saw the trailer for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” going to see it in 3D was definitely a no-brainer. The trailer made it seem like it was going to be very exciting with a lot of action event though I was never really a fan of the …
Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD
The Discovery Channel has presented a program called “A Haunting,” in which real people present their real-life ghost stories. These stories are very intriguing, and fairly scary - that is, if you believe in that sort of thing. I happen to believe in many elements …
The Forbidden Kingdom
“The Forbidden Kingdom”, directed by Rob Minkoff, is a rather highly predictable tale involving a Kung-Fu crazy american teenager, a ‘drunken immortal’(Jackie Chan), a monkey god(Jet Li) and a megalomaniacal military warlord. The plot revolves around the monkey god’s golden staff, which was separated from him by the cunning …
The Grudge 2
The Grudge is back. And for a while, after being thrilled by the first movie, I was looking forward to this one. But then, because of the trailer for the sequel seemed to give many scares away, I also feared that it would take the thrill out of …
Knight and Day movie
This is not a family movie! There aren’t any swearing in this film except the F-word was said once. Knight and Day features a commando like guy, going to protect a battery and a high school student, meets up with this innocent girl who has a place to go …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
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 …
Inception (movie)
Inception is an 2010 action, adventure and mystery movie directed by one of my favourite directors Christopher Nolan who has directed the successful Batman movies.

Ice Age movie
A very “cool” 3D movie from Disney which depicts the survival of prehistoric animals from the changing Earth as it underwent the process of continental drifting, Ice Age is the most fun movie that I have seen (again) lately. As with all other movies that blew my mind, I …
Arabian Nights (1999 Film)
Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.
In this film, Scheherazade (played by Mili Avital) is trying desperately …
Movie My First Wedding
“My First Wedding” is a beautiful romantic comedy about marriage and getting cold feet. The true assist of this movie are the brilliant actors in the main roles, Rachel Leigh Cook and Kenny Doughty.
Most people may remember Leigh Cook from her part in “She’s All That” and the …
Bad Neighbours (movie)
My co-workers and I decided that we should probably go see a movie for the two for one special a local theatre was having. Two of us wanted to see the new Spiderman movie and the other two wanted to go and see one of those random chick flicks …
Ghost Town 2008 movie
Ghost Town is one of those movies where the story is so familiar that you already know what is going to have even if you are only given a little bit of the plot. (I found this with Avatar as well). I mean, this is such a common plot …
War of the Roses movie
“War of the Roses,” some fun for the tears, the other leads to despair, and still others disgusted by the switch. Anyway, the film is a masterwork of satire of people who are divorced who have to gain your are full of ideas to hinder their lives.
Starring Kathleen Turner …
House on Haunted Hill Movie
The original House on Haunted Hill was a movie that I’ve wanted to see for a long time. I’m actually a big fan of the remake and I think Vincent Price was a phenomenal actor, but I just never got around to seeing the original movie. The original has …
The New Daughter Movie (2009)
I like Kevin Costner, and I like horror and suspense movies as well, so my mother and I watched this on DVD and during the first parts I thought it was scary, but it depends really on a person because I do scare easily! I found the plot to …
Gangster (movie), 2006
I watched Gangster on TV and I really liked the film. It released on 28th April, 2006. I could not watch the movie at theatre because I had my University exam in May, 2006. But I really wished to watch it at theatre especially after the controversy that this …

Roger & me
This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …
The Exorcist
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist, starring Jason Miller. Everyone knows what this movie is about, or regarding, so I’ll try to be brief on the summary. Jason Miller’s character, Damien Karras, is a priest who’s lost his faith. He has more interest in looking …

You, John Jones!
You, John Jones! is a great little film short with a stellar cast. James Cagney appears as John Jones with Ann Sothern as his wife and Margaret O’Brien as his daughter. O’Brien is just adorable and so passionate and intense as she recites a patriotic piece.
This film …
