Foxes movie
I don’t usually like to watch movies from the seventies or eighties; but I made an exception and watched the movie “Foxes” today which was released in nineteen eighty. The first thing which attracted me to it too ewas the fact that it starred a much younger version of …
A Series of Unfortunate Events the Movie
I have read the entire series of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and have a strange love for them. They are filled with misfortune and woe, but at the same time a mystery, suspense, and little joys and happiness that make it absolutely fantastic. The movie was—¦well—¦a disaster. …
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
While the sequel to the Raiders of the Lost Ark was obviously made because of the success of the first film, the Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the Indiana Jones Trilogy.
The first movie was full of action and suspense. There was a bit of humor, but …
Shaadi No.1
Shaadi No.1 is a comedy movie.The story is narrated around three husbands, three wives and three girl friends. I think the story is clear. David Dhawan, the director of the movie, showed the consequences that could be faced by husbands, if they cheat their wives and lag behind girl …
City of Joy film
Directed by Roland Joffe, City of Joy is a poignant film that touches the heart and even the very fabric of our souls. I’m not one who tends to enjoy a lot of in depth films that take place in other countries, but this tale of an American …

The Dark Knight Movie
Thought provoking, stylistic, and entertaining all highlight the 2008 blocbuster The Dark Knight. This film not only provided the audience members with an action fest, it offered some heavy philosophical talking points long after the credits roled. How do you defeat an …

“Dawn of the Dead” (2004) Film
Though it still rates as a “B movie,” Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of the 1978 Romero cult classic still rates as a smart, mostly consistent, and occasionally humorous film. I wouldn’t finger the movie as being a turning point in the zombie genre, but it’s certainly a high point, …
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
“The Wizard of Oz” is one of the best MGM musicals of all time and a film that continues to cross generational lines. I read somewhere that they had originally wanted Shirley Temple to play the part of Dorothy. As talented a child actress as Temple was, …
Dennis the Menace (1993)
Dennis the Menace, a remake of a 1959 movie and a remake of a TV and comic strip series. This is what I am talking about, this kid gets himself into realistic trouble and he uses his smarts to work his way from his captor and deals a dose …
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
MPAA Rating - Not Rated

Gunga Din Movie
Originally a story by Rudyard Kipling, this film is about english explorers and their adventures in India during the 19th century.

Changeling
You know what, I rented the movie Changeling thinking it was going to be a dull film and it turned out to be one of the better movies I’ve watched this month.

Julie & Julia movie

A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …

Remember Me (2010)
I will start by saying the film “Remember Me”, starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, and Emilie de Ravin, is surprisingly good. On the surface, it contains a cliche plot, one of a boy who dates a girl to get back at someone else but ultimately falls …
Deception, Marcel Langenegger Movie
Plot taken for the film is simple, namely on guile someone to lie to other people and I think that is very interesting, packed by the director. Hugh Jackman combination with Erwan McGregor is very good and can offset one with the other.
This story started when Jonathan McQuarry …

Silent Hill (2006 movie)
I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …
Varsity Blues (1999)

The Gambler- 2015, Drama, Thriller Movie
This movie is the remake of the movie “The Gambler” released in 1974 featuring James Caan. I watched this film only because of Mark Wahlberg, but I have to say that it was his one of the worst movie ever. It looks great on the paper because of its brilliant …
Runaway Bride (1999)
Runaway Bride, another movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts (because who can forget Pretty Woman), features a cast full of recognizable tv actors and actresses. In fact, one of the actors with a small role as a friend of Ike’s is also in Pretty Woman. (I like him, …
Happily N’Ever After

Batman Begins Movie
The previous four films about Batman seemed to have presented everything that the comics that they were based upon and filmed had to offer.

Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I watched Talladega nights on opening night and every show we tried to find was sold out but we finally managed to find tickets to a show that eventually sold out as well. Talladega nights is probably the funniest movie of the year. Will Ferrel is close to the …
Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …
