Music Within
When I bought a DVD of this movie, I thought it was some sort of a comedy film just like Music and Lyrics, to my surprise it was not really about music. Its more of a reality based movie. This movie really touched my heart while I was watching …

Mirrors looked like scary and it is actually, in certain areas of the movie story. I watched it alone actually and Kiefer Sutherland played the lead. This movie is actually a remake of a Korean movie actually, having the title Mirrors too.

Click movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …
Going My Way movie
Going My Way is absolutely wonderful. With Bing Crosby in the lead, you know it’s going to be somewhat laid back, and it is. It’s a subtle work that touches the heart and spurs on our emotions. Crosby is Father O’Malley, and he’s been sent to …

Fools Gold movie
It seems whenever an idea for a movie has some success, there are a bunch of other movies ready to copy that success by keeping roughly the same plot, just a few minor changes.
Fool’s Gold is a good example of this. While not a terrible movie, the idea of …

“Whip It” (2009 film)
Like any discerning cinema fan, I’ve always been slightly suspicious of Drew Barrymore. Can she act? It seems for every decent performance she delivers, she chooses some unbelievably soulless project that would make even the finest acting look like a middle-school play. And way too often it seems like …
Happy Feet
When this came out into cinemas, my family and I were on vacation so we weren’t able to watch it on the big screen. I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful feedback from other moms about this movie and how their children loved it. I felt sorry for my …
Half Nelson Movie
Half Nelson is one of those movie that you absolutely have to watch more than once just because you can never get all the details and all the meaning from the first time. There is not a single false movie in the movie, there isn’t a single acting moment …
Generation movie
In 1969, David Janssen, Kim Darby, and Pete Duel starred in Generation, a movie that truly is about the generation gap. Janssen is businessman Jim Bolton, who is stunned when his daughter, Doris (Darby), marries Walter Owen (Duel). Worse, she’s pregnant. Worse than that for Jim …

House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …
This Is Spinal Tap
This Is Spinal Tap is a silly movie about a band based in the 1970s. You can’t watch This Is Spinal Tap and take it seriously! I’ve ran across a couple of people who actually thought Spinal Tap was a real band. They are not! What they are is …
My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.
I saw Cameron Diaz on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ talking about her role in the upcoming film ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ and couldn’t wait to see it. Usually I don’t like watching movies that look too sad, especially about children with cancer, but Cameron’s character …

Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …

The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
Heartbreakers movie
Another movie my wife and I ended up watching last night was the film “Heartbreakers”. I liked this movie when it first came out but have to admit it loses some of its charm the second time you see it.
Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt play a mother/daughter pair …

Oliver & Company (Disney Movie)
Oliver & Company was a pretty good movie. I really think the animated dogs in this movie looked really cool. Oliver was a very cool and funny character. I really liked the storyline and the all of the characters in the movie. Though the actors did a great job on …
The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond is one of the weakest in the series, with another ‘out there’ villain, played by Robert Carlisle and a ridiculous plot that makes ‘The World is Not Enough’ simply unbearable to sit through. Let me be clear: I hate this movie. …
Airheads movie

Love, Actually movie
Love, Actually, is a very strange movie to nail down and categorize. Overall, it is, of course, a romantic comedy, but it is wholly unique from other members of the genre. Instead of relying on two star crossed lovers to tell its tale, Love, Actually, features a very large …
Underworld 3
I went to the Cinema to watch “Underworld 3: The Rise Of the Lycans”
I know that this movie is the prequel to “Underworld”. In this movie which begins with Victor killing Lucian’s parents and takes Lucian in as a child yet makes him a slave to guard them.
Victor …
Cyborg 1989 Movie Starring Van Damme
I guess what I am going to be trying to do right now is to justify the grade I am about to give this movie. I am going to give this movie the grade of eight out of ten, and assert that it is a very good film. I …
Enchanted (Movie)
This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …
Movie Peter Pan
“Peter Pan” is the classic 1950s Disney animated movie about the boy who never grew up and his adventures in Never Land. As a child, I loved this movie. However, I recently watched it with my daughter and so I viewed through the eyes of an adult …
Sliding Doors comedy
This would be just another romantic comedy were it not for its original storyline. It tells the story of a young girls, who’s just had a terrible day. She’s been fired and when she’s running to get onto the subway, a weird thing happens. The reality sort of split into …
