The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …

Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …

Frustrated with his showboat attitude, the basketball league decides …
Mame
In the early seventies, TV brought Auntie Mame to the small screen with Lucille Ball in the title role. Ball is just about the leading comedienne in all of film and movies, and she does a very nice job here. I liked her as Mame, and I …
Land of the Dead (2005) Movie
Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …
Movie Shooter (2007)
I saw this movie long ago but I’ve seen it again recently and I had to make a review of it, since I really like it.
The story begins in Ethiopia, where we see U.S. military sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) eliminating with his rifle a bunch of terrorist …

21 and Over (movie)
The first time that I even found out about the movie “21 and Over” had to be when I was watching something else in the theatre and I saw it advertise in the Coming Attractions. Even then it didn’t seem like it was going to be very good, but …
The Zombie Diaries
Much in the vein of Romero’s Diary of the Dead, The Zombie Diaries once again utilizes the hand held approach to movie making. However this movie doesn’t have the polished finish of Romero’s effort, with only a meagre budget behind it and a cast and crew of mostly unknowns. …
The Night Flier, 1997 movie
As you may have guessed, this movie is not for those who seek morals and some points in GMRC but I watched this movie because I thought it was like a Jeepers Creepers type of thing and that it was based on Stephen King’s work but I got disappointed. …
Remember the titans
Usually I don’t like movies about football or any sport for that matter. I really liked this movie though. It has Denzel Washington in it. I think he did an amazing job in this movie, like he usually does. The movie was good because it had a very good …
Up ( 2009 Movie )
I only got a chance to watch this film recently in Blu-Ray albeit it came out in 2009. It caught my attention when this was among the nominated films in the 2010 Academy Awards. There are just a few animated films which makes it to the best picture list, …
The Town Went Wild movie

When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …

The Lair of the White Worm movie
A bizarre kind of vampire horror movie with Hugh Grant as a young british Lord who gets in touch with a mysterious beautiful woman that proves to be a vampire with evil plans. I thought the film was creepy to look at. With Hugh Grant in the cast I …
Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)

Inception Movie (2010)

It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levit (Arthur), Ellen Page (Ariadne),Tom Hardy (Eames),Ken Watanabe(Saito) Dileep Rao (Yusuf) and Cillian Murphy (Robert Fischer, Jr.). This is by-far the best mind bending movie I have seen in a long time.

Holiday in Handcuffs (2007 Film)
“Holiday in Handcuffs” was a 2007 film that, while it was festive for the holiday season, it did not really wow me as I had hoped that it would. I don’t want to say that this film was a complete dud, and that I didn’t enjoy watching it, it …
Tammy and the Millionaire
Interestingly, after the TV series failed with just one season, Tammy and the Millionaire was released in 1967 with pretty much the same cast as the TV series. Debbie Watson, Denver Pyle, and Frank McGrath are all back, as are the actors who portrayed the Brents and the …
Bad and Beautiful (1952)
“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …
“Battle of the Bulbs” (2010 Film)
While I am a fan of holiday films, I am sorry to say that the 2010 Hallmark channel film, “Battle of the Bulbs” was not one that I would wish to watch again. The film lacked a decent plot I believe, and didn’t really appeal to me and get …
White House Down (2013 Film)
White House Down is a 2013 movie that I decided to watch after my sister recommended it to me. I remember seeing the film previews during the evening time on TV, but in the back of my mind I was thinking that it just another president doom’s day movie …
Smart People (R, 2008)
I expected a bit more from this movie than I got. But I should have known that because it was made by the same man who did “Sideways” —that the movie was going to be one of those occasionally humorous quiet, thinking people films. Usually …
Rocketeer
I watched the movie Rocketeer some years ago, and I remember it being a pretty good movie. It’s about a guy who flies with a jet pack attached to his body. I think that the special effects and flying scenes in the film were very good, and very well …
The Haunting of #24 (movie)
I was really surprised by this film. In watching the previews, I was a bit surprised that the film was as decent as it was. This is because the previews were really wack. The movies advertised were so below par, that I thought I …
Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …

Troll (1986 Film)
The 1986 film “Troll” is in one word, eerie. Now, being used to the creepy and spooky bump in the night films of the modern day, movie lovers may wonder what a 1986 movie may hold in the eerie department compared to a movie of today. But it’s the …
Movie Butterfly’s Effect
The Butterfly’s Effect is a fast pacing thriller with elements of fantasy or science-fiction (the idea of alternate worlds). It is often compared to mind blowing movies like Memento or Harry Angel but in fact that is a little too far fetched a comparison. First of all, Ashton Kutcher …
First Knight movie
“First Knight” is the movie where we see Richard Gere with a sword. This movie floored a lot of women as Gere’s impersonation of a Knight is not something we see everyday and definitely not something to ignore easily! Another handsome man in this movie is Sean Connery. His …
