For me, one of the big things I liked about Due South: Manhunt is that guest star Leslie Nielsen was able to show some of his dramatic abilities. For years, Nielsen did almost nothing but serious roles. Then he hit it big with the parodies like Airplane, …

Though I don’t like dark movies much, I watched The Bone Collector recently and to my surprise liked it. The movie starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie is a very nicely made movie. The movie through out which the leading actors do solve a case with very clever thinkings …

My wife and I watched a great film the other night. It was a film that is written, produced and directed by Nancy Meyers and it had four very well known actors. The film was called the holiday and it starred Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet and Jack …

Adventure, action, mystery, humor and romance with a comic-book twist. What more can you ask for in this particular film. It has all the trimmings needed for a good movie. You will be delighted to want to watch this over and over again. Two thumbs up into the sky …

The Outsiders is a classic film based on a well-read and popular novel by S.E. Hinton. This book-turned-movie focuses on two opposite social groups, basically the haves and have-nots. Regardless of what era life is in, this movie is relevant because the two groups always exist. …

This is the biographical movie remake of the life of Tina Turner, played by Angela Bassett, she takes on the character role and makes this documentary in a wonderful piece of movie designed to show people what it was like to be Tina herself. Starting off from her younger …

Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …

I watched the movie Push last weekend with some friends. I really liked the movie. It was much better than I was expecting. Dakota Fanning is such an amazing actress. She was an amazing child actress and I think she may be an even better adult actress. She is …

Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa explores the theme of friendship and kinship through using animations, specifically: cartoons. It talks about 4 good friends (all are animals in the Zoo at New York City), namely - Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo. The movie …

Many movies claim to have you on the edge of your seat, but I have never seen a movie do that literally… until I watched Cloverfield. This monster flick redefines the genre and brings viewers a first person look into what an apocalyptic experience is like. The movie was …

I took my daughter today to see Bee Movie at Showcase Cinemas in Randolph. The movie was great…but, I will leave that for someone else. :)
There were a lot of cars in the lot when we arrived, but amazingly, there was still parking close by. The …

I love animation movies. I’ve been watching animation movies since I was a kid and I still do that till now. My daughter is 3 years old and she also likes watching cartoon or animation movie. I allow her to watch Playhouse Disney since there I …

Let me start by saying I had no idea The Blind Side was based on a true story. I watched the entire movie without this knowledge, and honestly I’m not sure my opinion of it would’ve changed much having known. There was a lot of hype about the movie, …

With a venerable liking for most things I’ve seen almost all of the movies and some shows, I must say that JJ did a nice work with this film. The director JJ Abrams has done a brilliant job in resurrecting an ailing franchise to the glee of millions of …

Four years after the epic movie “Gladiator”, Brad Pitt attempts to make a success out of another epic movie “Troy”. The only two things in common that these two movies have are that they were both filmed in Malta. While “Gladiator” was a huge blockbuster, “Troy” failed …

The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …

If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …

A great family movie, we will definately be buying this one on dvd to go in our collection. A story about singing penquins and how one young penguin finds it hard to fit in because he cant sing, when he starts tapping his feet and doing a tap like …

The Five was a movie I happened to find while looking through adventure and fantasy films to order from Netflix. I had never heard of the actors or director but it sounded interesting so I gave it a try. The intro and credits portion was extremely long …

I loved this musical. It was modern, fun, dramatic, realist, sad, and humerous all at once. I cried at certain parts but even the sad parts were incredible. The actors did an amazing job in recreating the play that usually shows on Broadway. Their voice …

En epic Hong Kong action movie about an ordinary man who gets involved in battles between good and evil on the old mysterious mountain of Zu.
This is one of the strangest films I’ve ever experiences. I suppose the filmmakers were trying to create some kind of experimental and innovative …

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I immediately perked up in my seat and I knew I just had to watch this as all my favorite actors were here! It’s directed by Sylvester Stallone and it’s starring him, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, …

Director: Jon Favreau. Featuring : Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges.
Most definitely a good movie to watch. My friend had convinced me go and see it. I was hesitant because I thought it was going to be a kids’ movie, which I suppose it was meant to be, …

As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …

Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is another comic coming to the big screen that I sort of anticipated. One of my friends is working in a cinema as a ticket seller, and she managed to give me 2 sneak preview tickets for this show for …

We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens. It was the 1985 mini-series version starring Diana Rigg as Lady Deadlock and Denholm Elliott as John Jarndyce, the kind-hearted gentleman entangled in a terrible, …

This is one of the old movies that I love to watch over and over again. I love how the story was made and I was amazed by the character of Forrest Gump and it even came to the point that I did a search on the internet if …

This story comes to us as viewers with the intentions of scaring us into thinking that there is another world living in the mirrors. Things that are trouble or brought to provocation will attack with lethal intent. When this movie started, it showed a man running for his life …

On the whole, Horror is a genre that avoids the avant-garde, particularly the films that Hollywood produces. The Conjuring is little exception to this lack or experimentation.
The film explores issues and themes pertained to countless horror films before it; the main premise being that of a family moving …

I’ve always remembered Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows, not because of the actors but because of the story and that it makes use of Universal Studios. In fact, the opening has the soon-to-be murder victim on the tram, riding around seeing the attractions, like Jaws and the burning …

I know that reviewers were critical of this movie but after watching it I do not agree with them. I truly loved this movie. To me it is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time I just couldn’t help but love it. The characters played their roles so …

I am reviewing the movie, Blades of Glory, starring Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell plays a sex-addicted, skating champ named Chazz Michael Michaels. He is banned from competing in men’s skating when he gets into a fight with his nemesis, Jimmy MacElroy, who is a co-gold medallist. They are …

GCI film from Disney and Pixar brings the boogeyman to life through the eyes of a little girl. The movie shows how they are able to get into any and possible every bedroom using whatever means necessary. Whether it be through a closet or under a bed, they have …

Erotic science fiction in the late 1960s? Who would have ever thought of it? Apparently, a comic artist named Jean-Claude Forest did when he created “Barbarella” and …

The Bag Man is a film which I did enjoy watching despite its technical flaws. What kept me glued to it was the fact that the contents of the bag weren’t revealed until much later. At first, when my friend recommended me to watch The Bag Man I had …

The classic and wonderful Miracle on 34th Street is a delight for all time. I don’t think any holiday movie about Santa Claus will ever be able to surpass it. It’s family entertainment at its best, with quality performances across the board. Little Natalie Wood is …

I think this is one of the best movies ever to put into light how good an actress Jennifer Aniston is. I have always thought that she could act in movies and she has surpassed all comments saying that she can’t act and all that. Try watching The …

Flightplan is an suspenseful thriller that tries to keep the viewer guessing what will happen next during the entire movie. The movie begins a little slow to set up the plot, and some people may be turned off by its slow beginning. After the plot has been defined the …

Since it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend I had an opportunity to watch a lot of military movies. One of them was the comedy “You’re in the Army Now.”
This movie, which starred Phil Silvers and Jimmy Durante as a couple of sales people who wind up in …

From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …

When I was much younger I didn’t like the actor Kevin Costner since I didn’t understand most of his movies at the time. However, recently I have begun to respect him very much as one of the few very good actors so I was intrigued recently when I found …

“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …

When I saw Amelie, I was really really excited to know that there would be another film featuring Audrey Tautou, a brilliant impish actress. Happenstance is very similar to Amelie in that it deals with coincidence, and the complications/ ramifications following. The entire story in Happenstance centers …

I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …

The Rock, directed by Michael Bay is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence, language and a sex scene. The original release date was June 7, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Thriller and stars Sean Connery as …

I have recently watched Hannah Montana The Movie and it is not that bad of a movie. I mean I love to watch this; especially when Miley Cyrus is the one acting. She is such a good and charming teenage actress and her dad plays in this movie …
