Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief : A Movie
Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief movie adaptation is one of the most interesting movie I have watched to date. I am a mythology fan and being able to see mythology merge with the modern world is a superb treat for me.
The Characters :
The creation of Percy JAckson’s character …
Army Of Darkness
This has got to be one of those must-have horror film classics that anyone who likes horror films must have. And even though I am not a horror fan, per se, I absolutely adore this movie for its cheekiness, its absolutely far-fetched antics, and of course for its main star, …

Kazaam was a 1996 film about a Genie from a boombox who grants a child 3 wishes.It stars the basketballl player Shaquille O Neal.I considered the movie to have a low entertainment value for a comedy.It has pretty low standards.I will give an overview of the movie before explaining why …
Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002)
As the fanfare dies down, the roars silenced and the smoke clears from the forth three Home Alone movies, this fourth episode in the saga comes on by and leaves a very bitter taste in the mouths of the viewing public. Taking the series into such a dark area …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I usually like a movie I could somehow relate into. However, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is one of those movies that I liked but could not really much relate to myself. It is about a woman who has a passion for shopping, which I don’t.
Being into shopping entails …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
I don’t know what on the earth prompt me to go for this movie; I had already read so many reviews about the film with filled mixed reactions. Those who had watched highly acclaimed classic with the same name made in 1951 simply loathed this one. I myself had …
Meet The Robinsons
I don’t know why a super mall near my house make big promotion about this movie together with creativity programs for kids. I didn’t mean a promotion like another movie in big banner but this promotion made in big billboard and with brochure too. Of course I didn’t believe …
The Day The Earth Stood Still film
As far as wasted opportunities go, this film takes the cake. It isn’t so much a remake of the original film as it is homage to it as only the very basic plot elements from the original were retained and woven into an unnecessarily reworked plot that falls flat …
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell.
This is one funny movie. If it were a 40 year old woman virgin, it would definitely not be that funny; but putting a normal looking man into this predicament is full of hilarious opportunities.
…

Movie Fired Up
We watched the movie Fired Up this past weekend. When I decided to watch it, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an OK movie.
OK, let me start out by saying this film isn’t for everyone in the family. It was about as raunchy …
John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …

Fifty Shades of Grey (erotic romance movie)

When the movie Spiderman came out in theaters, I remember it got a lot of attention. I for one wasn’t any less thrilled than everyone else since I grew up reading Marvel comics even though those days I hadn’t read one in a long time.
I had no idea …
The Last Starfighter movie
The Last Starfighter is a neat little science fiction story that is interesting and entertaining to watch. Robert Preston really excelled as his mysterious and colorful character of Centauri. I think I like his portrayal the best. He’s funny, and he keeps you guessing.

Homeward Bound 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …

The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
The Martian (Film 2015)

Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surefr
I had not seen the previous part of this movie series, so I was hoping that I would not miss out on some related scenes. Thankfully this movie does not have much relevance to the previous movie. A person can watch this without having to watch the earlier part.
The …
The Answer Man - Movie on DVD
Some movies I enjoy because they are well made. They either have superior production values, such as “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series, or the plots are exciting, or the actors are engaging. Then there are some movies that I elevate to a special class: those that have something …

The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
