The Duchess
This is one historical movie that I found very fascinating even though it was a drama. It stars Kierra Knightly (Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean) and she does an expert job of playing the lead role of the Duchess. To make matters even more interesting, the story …
Annabelle, horror movie (2014)
I was one of the many The Conjuring fans who had bought their Annabelle tickets a week before the show times. With a group of friends rushing to the theater where this supposedly horror-movie-of-the-year would be playing I was nothing less than thrilled. Needless to say the emotions …
Superhero Movie
When I saw previews to Superhero Movie, I wasn’t really sure whether it would be funny or not. From the previews, I thought it would just focus on known super heroes like Superman and Batman and find ways to spoof them; a formula that has worked on some subjects …
The Shooter (2007)
They came to him with a story that an attempt is going to be made on the life of the United States President and only he has the expert knowledge to find out where the shooter will be and try to stop him before the attempted assassination is done. …
Re-Animator
The movie, the Re-Animator, is based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s novel of the same name. It’s a massive gorefest, filled with loads of blood, nudity, and a very addictive theme song. This isn’t what you would call a zombie movie, or a infection or virus movie either, but it …
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993 movie)
In order to spend more quality time with his children, Robin Williams’ character disguises himself as a Nanny/House Keeper.

Movie Cars
Cars is a rip-roarin’ ride of animated fun. It is an incredibly wonderful film about a race car with an attitude and no friends as a result. All Lightning McQueen wants is to win the big race and be the champion. He believes he’s the best …
Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …
“Eyes Wide Shut” (1999 film)
Occupying the position of the iconic Stanley Kubrick’s final directorial effort, completed just days before his passing, ANY movie would be the center of a lot of divided opinions and the source of controversy. After all, those qualities apply to just about every one of the movies in Kubrick’s …
The Ultimate Gift Movie Starring Jason Fuller
Recently, my interest in horror movies has weaned a bit and I have had a shift towards inspirational movies that have a financial quest inclination to them, with the most recent delight being a movie called ‘The Ultimate Gift’, starring Drew Fuller.
From the very first moment I was completely …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
Step Up
I love Channing, this is the first time that I saw a muscle hunk that truly can dance, minus the pants that he was wearing, too lousy. The story was about a typical two teenager that enrolled in Mary Land School of Arts. One of them was attending a …
National Treasure 2
First off, let me just say that i really enjoyed the first National Treasure movie, starring Nicolas Cage as Benjamin Franklin Gates. It was a very well made movie, combining action, humor, and history into a very enjoyable and, above all, fun movie that I have seen many times. …
Race to Witch Mountain - (starring Dwayne Johnson)
Race to Witch Mountain is a brilliant movie that I recommend most of you out there to watch. It is clean, the script and dialogs are also clean and the cast an amazing one. Starring Dwayne Johnson and the brilliant and smart kids in the movie too, whom …
The Shawshank Redemption
I must admit that I wasn’t expecting much out of the movie “The Shawshank Redemption”. At the time I wasn’t aware that this movie was nominated for 7 Oscars. I felt that after watching endless episodes of the TV series “Prison Break”, I doubted that there was any prison …

National Lampoon’s Stoned Age Unrated, comedy film
A movie so bad they decided to call it something completely different when it was released on video. Stoned Age is the comedy to bear the National Lampoon name. At one time this name met something but now you can see why the National Lampoon series is dreaded by …
Birdemic Shock and Terror, Blu-ray Romantic Horror film
Birdemic: Shock and Terror had to have been made for cult status purposes. I mean come on why would anyone made a movie with birds that spit acid and shoot lasers—¦or I think they are lasers. The movie has crappy violence, early 90s PC game dialogue, and children who …
Open Road movie
I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …
The Empire Strikes Back
The second in the original star wars triogly was the Empire Strikes back. this movie in my opinion was a bridge between the first installment the Star Wars, and the third movie of the trioplogy the Return of the Jedi.
Again we meet Luke as he is a …

I finally found time to finished Happy Feet last weekend, I was a bit skeptical about this anime, ever since the March of the Penguin, I thought this was just an adaptation of the story in anime.

Blades of Glory Movie (2007)
Not many people realize that the movie “Blades of Glory” is meant to be a spoof of the internationally acclaimed sport of ice-skating. If you want a movie that’s not a spoof, rent one of the all-time sports hero classics like “Rocky” or something of that nature. …
Killer Diller movie
Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …

Monsters Inc. : Movie

Stardust movie
The movie I feel suffered from a lack of publicity. However, in my opinion, this was the best movie of the summer of 2007. Better than Transformers, Die Hard, and all of the rest that came out. The story is basically a fairytale told in modern …
Jupiter Ascending (2015)-Movie
Jupiter Ascending is a average yet visually amazing movie.When i say average i am still being a bit generous because i believe despite the fact that it is forgettable movie, still it is a result of handwork of creators.They organized everything perfectly for it but things didn’t worked according to …
Movie The Re-Animator

The Answer Man - Movie on DVD
Some movies I enjoy because they are well made. They either have superior production values, such as “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series, or the plots are exciting, or the actors are engaging. Then there are some movies that I elevate to a special class: those that have something …
The Watchmen movie
‘A comedian died tonight in New York City’
It’s no ‘here’s looking at you, kid’ but I’ll admit it’s a catchy line. And the movie had has many good points; great special effects, all right screenplay, intriguing costumes but that was it. There were some witty lines but that doesn’t …
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Journey to the Center of the Earth

The Conjuring, horror movie
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 …
