Pathfinder, epic action film by Marcus Nispel
I had so many reasons I didn’t want to see this movie. For starters the director made the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the one that came out in 2003. How could somebody that made that disappointing movie make a barbarian movie? Then you have the fact that this movie opened …
Movie Charade (1963)
Perhaps I’d like to call myself an Audrey Hepburn devotee because every time I sit down and watch one of her chick flicks, it gives me yet another reason to dig more on her profile as an actress of several films. Her onscreen portrayals are made known by …
The Warriors
Even if you’ve never the Warriors, I’m sure you remember this line. “Warriors, come out and play.” Right? WIth the guy clinking the bottles together. I love it! It’s based in a near future new york where gangs have taken over. Though based in the future, it’s not quite …
Birth (2004)
If you believe in movies about reincarnation and stuff like that, you would love to watch Birth (2004). This movie features Nicole Kidman, and she plays a very depressed and sad wife who still mourns for her husband after 10 years after his demise. Her family persuaded …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape 1993 movie
I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …
Shadows in the Sun movie
I am reviewing the movie, Shadows in the Sun, which was released in 2006. It stars Joshua Jackson as a man named Jeremy Taylor, a guy who works at a publishing company in London. He is pressured to travel to Tuscany to get renowned writer, Welson Parish, …
The Painted Veil
I am absolute biased in writing this review because in adore Edward Norton’s work, give it that he may interpret the worst of criminals or the best of lovers. I find that Norton has got a lot of passion in his work and really tries to give his best …
Movie Knowing
I was rather excited about seeing this movie. I like Nicolas Cage and I like Science Fiction so I had great expectations but got pretty disappointed. I mean, the movie is not that bad but it is less than I was expecting.
The movie starts when a class of elementary …
Movie The good girl
I watched ‘The good girl’ because it seemed to be a good film however I ended up very disappointed! This is a truly awful film. I cannot understand how a very talented actress, Jennifer Aniston would be involved in such a lousy production!
In this film, Aniston interprets the character of …
Man on Fire film
One of the best action films I have ever seen. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning are the lead cast in this film and a do a superb job to say the least! Denzel plays a lost man trying to find peace, do to a obvious history of violence and …
Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …
The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I really enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies, but this one was by far a huge dissappointment. I can’t believe I paid $9 to waste my time. It was poorly connected, the plot just kind of crashed together, and wierd things happened out of nowhere that had no historical …

Sixteen Candles
What is interesting about teen movies is the fact that every time period is associated to a film. Now a days is “High School Musical” period, but in the 80’s they had “Sixteen Candles” which was a smashing hit at the time.
This movie definitely marked the beginning of …
King of California
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, King of California, starring Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas plays a mentally ill, deadbeat dead who left his daughter to fend for herself. Douglas plays Charlie, a musician who has just been released from a mental hospital. Evan Rachel Wood plays his daughter, …
Shutter Island movie 2010
Shutter Island is a film that deserves much more attention than it has gotten. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a tarnished detective who is sent to find an escaped prisoner on an island and lands in a huge conspiracy with many twists and turns. The acting from the entire cast …

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Well, I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I did like his Robin Hoods Prince of Thieves movie when it first came out so I figured I would take the time to watch it again yesterday.
It still is one of the better Robin Hood movies I’ve watched but …
National Treasure: A book of Secrets
In the motion picture “National Treasure: A Book of Secrets” Ben Gates, played very well by Nicholas Cage, finds out that his Great- great grandfather may have been involved in the Assasination plot of President Abraham Lincoln.
He sets out to prove his innocence saying that he new where a …
Bruno
I can still recall sitting in a packed cinema in 2006. Laughing uncontrollably at the hilarious antics of actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s infamous character Borat. So naturally I had hopes for Cohen’s new movie centred on gay Austrian model Bruno.
The opening scenes of Bruno shocked me. Yes, …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003 Movie)
Kate Hudson is one of my favourite actresses and in this movie she appears to be a fresh face. Toggling between a hard core professional who would go to any extent to get her work done to a flirtatious girly girl who likes being pampered, she has done a …
The Happening movie
M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …
Fallen Angels movie
This was the last film where Wong Kar-Wai used the same style he did with his earlier As tears go by, Hong Kong Express and, in some sense, The days of being wild. The difference between these films and his later, more sublime style, is that the story is …

Let The Right One In - (starring Lina Leandersson)
Let The Right One In is a superb watch. For horror fans out there, be sure to catch this one. I’m not kidding. The story is about a little boy named Oscar and it seems like he has a harmless imaginary friend pretty much real to him …
Misery
Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …
Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
Stranger than Fiction, debuting in 2006, is a movie starring Will Ferrel. The movie is about an IRS agent named Harold Crick. Mr. Crick lives a very dull and redundant life until he starts hearing a voice narrating his actions. The movie continues as he tries to find the …
American Dad
I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.
I think the reason I liked it so much is the fact they …
What Happens in Vegas
I was very pleased with this movie ! It had Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher; pardon me if I got the spellings wrong, I’m too lazy tonight to check on them. These are usually two hollywood actors who make my stomach churn, but this movie was a delight ! …

Ed Wood movie
Tim Burton’s lovely portrait of the bizarre director Ed Wood comes to life with an amazing Johnny Depp in the leading role and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi. I don’t know if everything in this film is the truth, but it sure is very convincing and enjoyable, much thanks …
Cinderella Man movie
It took me quite some time before I was actually able to watch the movie “Cinderella Man” being that it was not the type of movie which I usually liked watching at the time, and I thought that it would probably be another boring sports drama film which I …
The Bachelor
In a nutshell, “The Bachelor” is all about a guy who doesn’t want to commit to marriage, which is a reality these days more than ever! The interesting aspect about this movie is that it is a cute, funny romantic comedy that can be enjoyed both by men and …

Doctor Strange, 2016 movie

Hidden Figures (2016 Biographical Drama Film)

Wise Girls
I watched Wise Girls the other day and I was surprised that this is a pretty good story with a rather interesting plot. Mira Sorvino stars as Meg and with 2 other actresses, they play the role of a waitress and it’s quite scary to think of it because …
Keeping the Faith (2000, Edward Norton)
I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …
Movie Waiting…
Don’t make my mistake and watch the movie “Waiting ” I don’t know why I actually bothered to spend two hours of my time watching a movie that did go any where! I should have stopped the movie the moment I saw Ryan Reynolds on the screen. I saw …
