Bucket List
I work in a hospital so more or less I am inclined to the joys and sadness of the hospital life. When I bought a DVD for Bucket List I wasn’t able to watch it right there and then but my brother who was able to see it said …
The Time Machine movie
It is an entertaining film based on the concept of time traveling. This concept has always thrilled me and I was curious to know about it. The first half of the movie is pretty enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. I am not a die hard fan of science …
Ride the Wild Surf movie
From 1964, Ride the Wild Surf is one overly melodramatic movie that tried to capitalize on the beach picture craze. About the only thing it has going for it is a great cast, at least as far as bikini and surf pictures of the 60’s go. Fabian, …

Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …

Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost
Last night, I once again sat down with my daughter to watch a movie with her. And, of course, I let her pick the film. She chose Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, for the most part, I liked her decision.
This is a newer Scooby Doo film, as …

Jacobs Ladder
Jacobs Ladder is a strange movie, to say the least. I have watched Jacobs Ladder several times and still don’t know for sure if Jacob, the main character, is just a psychotic man with mental problems or if what he experiences actually happened. That is the appeal of this …
Havoc (2005 Crime Drama Movie)
A few years before the famous actor and heartthrob Channing Tatum even became popular, he was in a movie named “Havoc”. At the time the real attraction in this movie was supposed to be the actress Anne Hathaway, whose claim to fame was the Disney movie “The Princess Diaries” and …

Eagle Eye movie
I just watched Eagle eye and it was an alright movie overall. I think it could have been a lot better, in my opinion. I think it could have been a lot more original, and interesting. I was interested to see what happens in the movie but not like …
Slither movie not worth watching
When I saw the previews for Slither on TV, I thought it was going to be a good horror movie. After all, you can’t go wrong with slimy slugs that take over people’s bodies and turn them into zombies.
Unfortunately, the makers of the movie missed big-time and turned what …
The Brother’s Grimm (2005)
This movie is one of my favorites from the late young actor Heath Ledger. In fact, thinking about it now I’m not sure which one of his movies I didn’t like. Nevertheless one of the reasons why I liked this movie was because it appealed to the …
The Kingdom (Movie)
This movie stars, jamie foxx and jennifer garner. Its a good story, but very boring. Theres a little TOO much detail in the story for my liking. Im usually a person that likes alot of detail but this was just entirely too much. Some parts just dragged on and …
National Treasure movie
I admit that I don’t like watching Nicholas Cage movies. There is nothing wrong with his acting skills; however for me he represent an actor with a lot of contrast. I really enjoyed watching his movie “The Rock”; however I really hated to watch his movie “City of Angels”. …

“Crash” Motion Picture
I rented Crash the film because it was on the top 100 list of netflix films and I had never seen it. I knew it was about car crashes but I so did not see this movie coming. It is mostly about race relations, anger …
Robin Hood movie
Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …
“Friday the 13th part 6″ movie
I’ve been making my way through the “Friday the 13th” film series. It is one of the iconic horror/slasher franchises out there and I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I’ve been on a bit of a horror kick lately, I figured that now was as good a …
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
This is a truly awesome and frightening movie, the plot always moving at a great speed. I saw it for the first time recently on DVD and found myself totally engrossed by the storyline. This is a disaster picture, of course, and it’s set on a very large scale. …

18 Year Old Virgin movie
Yeah, I should have expected as much. I decided to watch the movie 18-year-old Virgin in the hopes that maybe it would be a surprise “American Pie” like movie. Instead, it was a piece of garbage that wasn’t much more than a really bad porn film.
The movie has an …
Netflix
Netflix is a company that lets it’s users rent as many movies as they want through the mail with no late fees. I have been using Netflix for a few months now and the best thing about this company is that there are absolutely never any late fees. Another …

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
“The Wizard of Oz” is one of the best MGM musicals of all time and a film that continues to cross generational lines. I read somewhere that they had originally wanted Shirley Temple to play the part of Dorothy. As talented a child actress as Temple was, …
Fools Rush In
“Fools Rush In” represents the big leaps from the small screen to the big screen for Matthew Perry. I feel that his interpretation of his part in this movie helped him get more important parts such as “The Whole Nine Yards” role. Perry was so excited by it all, …
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
What can I say - the title of this review says it all! I watched “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at Greenbelt Cinema 3 with my best friend and her son last weekend and it was, in a word, awesome! The movie really lived up to all the hype.
If …
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013 movie)
Oz The Great and Powerful tries so hard to be epic. It has a very entertaining feeling. There are aspects of the movie that are brilliant and there were things that I thought needed some work. Sometimes I thought the pacing of the film was a little off and …
Charlie Bartlett movie
Once in a while a teen coming of age movie comes along that I really like, and “Charlie Bartlett” became one of those. In fact, I marveled that I did not hear about it before when it was obvious that the movie was released fairly recently. It starred actors …

Shivaji Tamil movie

Vicky, Christina, Barcelona
I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …

Until They Sail movie
I can’t believe I’ve never seen Until They Sail until now. As a fan of Paul Newman, I’ve tried to see most of his films at least once, but somehow this 1957 black and white film slipped through the cracks. I’m even more amazed because of the …
Walkabout movie
Nicholas Roeg, who perhaps is most renowned for his chilling masterpiece Don’t look now, here delivers a very mysterious story about a young woman and her little brother who must survive alone in the australian desert when their father goes crazy and dies under strange cirumstances.

This is like a music show cum movie. This story is about a young man, who is really into Rock and Roll. This movie features Kate Hudson, and she really is a good actress in this movie.
It is about a young man so into rock and roll, …

It’s a Date movie
From 1940, It’s a Date is a surprisingly fun movie to watch. It stars Deanna Durbin, who was once the biggest thing in Hollywood. I did some reading about her yesterday when I watched this story and was amazed at her success in Hollywood and especially with …
Cinderella - A Twist In Time
I must say that when you have lots of nephews and nieces, you have the excuse of watching kiddie DVD and that I got the chance to watch Cinderella - A Twist In Time. This is something like a sequel to Cinderella and boy does it have lots of …
Film “The Attic”
I just watched the attic last night on Hulu. It was an ok film for something made at the low budget level. I’m not sure but I would guess this was either a straight to video or a tv release based on the production values. I …
500 Days of Summer movie
First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …
