Avatar movie
I had no idea what this movie was going to be about before I saw it with my friends. I went to see it out of boredom. However, I was not bored long. Avatar is a 3D movie, which may cost a little more to see in theaters, but …
Disturbia
Shia LaBeouf starreer Disturbia is a really well directed thriller movie. I recently watched the movie on DVD and I must say I loved it very much. The movie had all the elements in a right mixture and this makes it a very good thriller movie. The best thing …
John Carter, Disney Movie
Edgar Burroughs is one of the most filmed authors of all time; what is unique about that in general is the fact that it is due to only one of his books - “Tarzan”, while always is adapted the first book and never the more fantastic and wacky adventures …
Movie: The Seamstress
I was in the mood for a scary movie last night. So, my wife and I ended up watching one we had saved to our DVR called The Seamstress.
At the time, a movie about a wronged spirit who tortures her victims by poking out their eyes and sewing their …

Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.
In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brandert, a dorky overweight teenager turned superstar. In high school, he was enormously overweight and in love with his best friend Jamie, who only saw them as friends, …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
Taken, movie
Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …
Movie: “Stand By Me” (1986)
This movie is based on the novella “The Body” by Stephen King. I was very happy to see that, for once, the movie closely followed the original story; and actually did it justice.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine; and a boy named Ray Brower has …

Vajra Sky Over Tibet
I saw “Vajra Sky Over Tibet” yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham at the Pickford Theatre, our local independent, artistic theatre. The movie is a documentary that bills itself as a pilgrimage to Tibet. I described it to a friend as a spiritual and political travelogue.
This is a very good, …
Best of Raw vol.1
I bought Best of Raw vol.1 on VHS a couple years ago. And I have to say this is a great video. It shows you the early days of WWF RAW. And yes this takes it back to the days when it was WWF and not WWE. I really like …
High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …
Gremlins
A movie that children and adults alike will enjoy is Gremlins. Gremlins are these little creatures that are fierce and scary and evolve, magically, from Mogwai. You see, the Mogwai are fine and lovable and rather like little teddy bears, unless they have water. Once the water gets on …
Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol
With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …

New Moon (movie)
I am a Twilight saga fan, so I saw New Moon on the Saturday after it came out. I’d of course read the book and had seen all the previews, so I kind of knew what to expect. I’ve got to say that I actually liked it …
Hacksaw Ridge (2016 Biographical War Drama Film)
I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …
The Crush (1993)

The Fog movie
An underrated piece from John Carpenter, made between Halloween and Escape from New York. The story, that involves a fog attacking people in a small coast town in America, may be a little bit mundane, but the way Carpenter creates moods and scare his audience here is simply top …
The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …
Mean Girls (2004 Film)
“Mean Girls” the movie that hit big screens in 2004, was and still is a movie that is referred to by not only teenagers and young adults, but by adults as well. In my high school math class, two years after this movie came out, the math teacher called …
Ghost Town
It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a hilarious romantic comedy. Single and thirty, Toula, as a nice Greek girl, should be married already with a slew of Greek babies. Her mother cannot for the life of her understand why Toula isn’t married yet, settled down with a …

Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
Feed (NR, 2005) movie
If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …
“Howl’s Moving Casle” (2004 Film)
Recently I watched a Japanese animation cartoon director by Hayao Miyazaki called “Howl’s Moving Castle”. My younger brother is into these sorts of films and I have to admit that they are very intriguing and entertaining to watch as well, and Hayao Miyazaki is also an excellent director who …
Midnight Lace movie
In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …

My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Ok, I’ll admit it, when My Super Ex-Girlfriend came out, I thought it was going to be stupid. That’s why I didn’t see it at the theater or even rent it on DVD.
However, when I finally saw it on cable the other day, I have to admit I was …
High Road to China movie
A pilot is convinced by a young girl to go and search for her disappeared father in Asia. This is one of those films I loved in my childhood and decided to rewatch as an adult, and I have to say this is probably the one that made my …
Bride Wars Movie
I love this movie! Not only does it feature my favorite gorgeous actresses Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, but the story is really unique and cute and every girl can just relate to this one! However I think guys wouldn’t really enjoy watching this as it’s a total 100% …
The Hangover Part 2: Movie
The Hangover: Part 2 is a movie I, as so many others, have anticipated since its prior film. I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed as I was greeted with laugh after laugh with its comedic brilliance.
I have to say that I liked the fact that it was …
Get Smart
In “Get Smart” we get to see the unlikely couple Steve Carell and Anne Hathway team up to beat the enemy. What is so great about this movie is that you find it very difficult to imagine these two persons as a couple due to …

The Break-Up (2006)
First time I heard about the break-up that combines Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, I feel very much enthusiastic because I expect a really funny movie about love but unfortunately, I was totally disappointed.
This movie is about Brooke and Gary who break-up but both of them do not want …
Reality Bites (movie)
Reality Bites reminded me quite a bit of The Blair Witch Project. Now that makes me smile because The Blair Witch Project hooked me from the start and made me think the movie was real. Reality Bites, on the other hand, did not make me think the same thing, …
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 …

Movie Just Friends
I must admit I don’t like watching Ryan Reynolds movies. For some reason, he is obsessed with the words ‘fuck’ and ’sex’, however he managed to convince me in this comedy movie with the name “Just Friends”. I like this movie because Reynolds finally managed to involve himself in …
