Movies Reviews
State of Play movie
I watched State of Play that day with my friends and I was so hating it in the beginning. I wanted to watch some other show, but all of them insisted on this one. Starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, this is one thriller of a movie that …
Confessions of a Shopoholic
When I first saw the movie “Confessions of a Shopoholic” advertising to be released in theatres, I did not pay it any attention since it seemed like a silly little comedy; but when I did get to watch it some time ago, I realised that it was actually a …
He’s Just not that into you movie
I rented the movie “He’s just not that into you” from blockbuster about a week ago. I watched it as soon as I received it in the mailbox. Overall I enjoyed the movie because it was different than other chick flicks. I must admit that the movie got a …
I am Legend Movie
I was very excited going into this movie. I really like Will Smith and could not wait to see what he was going to do with this unique role. I was a little skeptical at first, since he was the only person in the movie, but I didn’t let …
Superman Returns:The Movie
Superman has always been my very favorite superhero, and this movie I think is the best rendition of him. It shows him in a light that makes him almost human, but at the same time super-human. It also shows how it all began, and then how he returned (hence …
The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (3D)
I loved Transformers: Dark of the Moon! I thought it should be pretty cool in 3D. I was right! It impressed me right away, literally within the first minute or two. Then it kept getting better throughout the movie.
I wasn’t sure how I would like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for …
Movie Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond films I’ve seen, Casino Royale is by far the worst.
First, Daniel Craig can’t fill even George Lazenby’s shoes when it comes to the role. He’s not handsome. He’s not charming and he’s not James Bond.
The movie itself was even more of a problem. …
On the Outs (R, 2004) movie
I had never heard of this movie before. But when I saw that it was about three troubled teenaged girls on the East Coast, I was immediately intrigued. This is because independent films featuring adolescents in New York or New Jersey (which this story took place) …
Widow’s Peak (movie)
I enjoyed this movie very much, not just because it stars the luscious Natasha Richardson, but because the dynamic between Richardson’s character and the character played by Mia Farrow is a delightful tongue-in-cheek account of Anglo-Irish relations that appeals to both my English and Irish ancestors. Their rivalry …
Mamma Mia!
A few months ago, my wife went to the movie theater to see the movie Mamma Mia! She came back telling me it was the best film ever. So, last night, I sat down to watch it with her on DVD.
She exaggerated. It was good, but it was far …
The Ides of March Movie
After watching the Ides of March I have found it to be entertaining, gripping, smart movie. The cast of the movies is the top of the line, you couldn’t wish for better actors to work on it. The strongest feature of the movie is in the unique characters in …
Liar Liar (movie)
Liar Liar stars Jim Carrey as Fletcher. Fletcher is a selfish, greedy, womanizing and ambitious young attorney. Fletcher is divorced and has a son who is about to turn 5. Fletcher promises to be at his son’s birthday but keeping with past behavior, doesn’t show. This is typical behavior …

Hitman, action film by Xavier Gens
The Hitman franchise has been around for 14 years so far. The franchise originally started on the Playstation and then worked its way to last gen consoles. After four games, Fox snagged up the rights to make a movie. Compared to other video game movies this is much better, …
“Up in the Air” (2009 Film)
“Up in the Air” the 2009 film starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick proved to be not only a touching tale of finding the meaning of how to spend your life, but a depressing realization that sometimes it doesn’t work out as planned when you give yourself …

The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
The Fighter: Movie
Another nomination for this year’s Best Film at the Oscars has hit the DVD shelves, with The Fighter making its home viewing debut.
Although losing out on the most prestigious award at the annual ceremony, two of the films cast walked away with Oscars of their own for their fantastic …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
Striptease Movie
I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …
“Hooligans” movie
Football is a predominantly male affair. Fighting pseudo-fans it’s practically the only guy thing. Thus, in theory, for making a film on this subject should take a representative of sex ugly. And what if woman decides to tell us the story of hooligans ? Such is the case, “Hooligans”, …
Gandhi (1982)
I really admired the movie Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. From the boring history books that I read from high school and from classroom discussions that did not give me as much information as I need, the personality that I had been curious about finally came to …

How does it taste when the person you loved suddenly you leave it? This overrides the Linda Hanson. In a sunny morning, sudden bad news came, Jim, the husband died instantly with terrible in a traffic accident. Of course feelings Linda splinters hear this news. But also not complete, …
Franklyn, British film by Gerald McMorrow
The question I asked myself while watching Franklyn on blu-ray was how do these four stories come together? The back of the case suggests that it all comes together at some point but I am not seeing it. Does Franklyn have bull shit written all over it or is …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.
It was definitely a cute film. Doogal is a dog who, along with a group of his friends, has to defeat an evil wizard …
Home of the Giants (2007 Film)
The 2007 film starring Haley Joel Osment and Ryan Merrimen called “Home of the Giants” is a movie that really shows the bonds of friendship and kept me hooked from the moment of watching it. The acting was very believable and the plot of the story was also something …
Little Monsters (1989 flim)
In 1989, a movie directed by Richard Greenberg came out called “Little Monsters”. Though I had not seen the movie until many years later, I still hold it as a nostalgic movie from my childhood that left me feeling inspired to open my imagination to the world around me. …
Pride and Glory Movie
This movie is fantastic. It’s a story which can happen everyday and it’s so realistic and original and simple that I think what makes it one good movie to watch. The story features Edward Norton, Jon Voight, and Colin Farrell as the main cast. The plot is about a …
Passengers (starring Anne Hathaway)

However, there is something mysterious going on and the …
Half Nelson A Movie
A few nights ago my husband and I settled in to watch Half Nelson. I had never seen it or heard of it before so I figured that it was probably not that good of a movie. However my husband really wanted to watch it so I decided to …

The Sixth Sense movie
Even though I watched the movie “The Sixth Sense” when I was about eleven or twelve years old, I can still remember it as though it were just yesterday, since at the time is scared me a little and I thought the twist in the plot was unusual. It …
Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …
Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.
It had been a while since I’ve seen this movie and I didn’t remember much about it. But, after watching it again, I can remember …

The Hangover
I was expecting big things when I rented The Hangover on DVD; I expected, given the trailers and my friends’ views, that I would be laughing uproariously the entire time. However, although there were some funny and witty moments, I was disappointed. It had good moments, when I did …
Film Some Like It Hot
One of my favourite films of all time is Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and directed by Billy Wilder.
The film is a genuine classic, not some art house movie that everyone raves about for a month, never having really watched it or understood …
Pearl Harbor The Movie
I was never much for history, but I do love a good old fashioned romance which is exactly what this is. I loved this movie more than I originally thought I would and was glad I spent the money to see it in the theaters. And here’s …

P.S. I Love You movie
I know that I am a girl and I love reading love stories but I am not a big fan of watching a pure drama love stories. Don’t get me wrong, I love mushy stuff but not the drama factor the whole time because it really affects my mood. When …
Unthinkable (movie)
Recently I watched a suspense movie named “Unthinkable”. One of the main reasons why it stood out was because it was more of a psychological thriller. I thought that this was unique since basic plots like these which have terrorist and the United States military tend to have a …
Thr Princess Diaries 2 movie
The movie “The Princess Diaries 2″ is the sequel to the previous movie released by Disney called “The Princess Diaries.” For some reason I wasn’t too excited when I discovered that the sequel was going to be released in theaters since it escaped me as to how the writers …

Movie Mirrors
This movie was a movie that could have been awesome. It had an excellent base story line but it just lacked … SOMETHING. I don’t know what exactly it was, but it lacked. I love the big old run down mall that they had to protect every night, I …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …
