The Invisibles (starring Portia de Rossi)
I suppose The Invisibles was one of the earlier movies that Portia de Rossi star in. Together with a not bad looking actor (I don’t know his name, really), this is a story on what is perhaps happening in the world of celebrities. I find the characters of …
Happy Feet
Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.
An approximation of the true nature of how …
The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
The plot: …
Shell Game movie
There have been a few projects out of Hollywood by the title of Shell Game. This particular one is a movie that starred John Davidson and aired in 1975. The program was actually a pilot that didn’t sell.
Davidson had all the requirements for this character of Max …
Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 (movie)
I did not get a chance to go and see Breaking Dawn part 1 while it was in theaters, so my anticipation had been building ever since I saw the previews for the DVD release. I, myself, did not end up purchasing the movie; instead, a relative of mine …
Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.
In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brandert, a dorky overweight teenager turned superstar. In high school, he was enormously overweight and in love with his best friend Jamie, who only saw them as friends, …
High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …
Wicker Man (2006 movie)
Nicholas Cage stars in this mystery/drama/horror type movie. He finds himself on a remote island populated mostly by women. His task is to find a missing child who might also be his daughter.
Now that the foundation has been laid for the plot of the movie, where did it go …
Movie Heavy
Heavy with Liv Tyler, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Debbie Harry, and Shelly Winters.
I must admit that I only watched this movie because it featured the beautiful, alluring Liv Tyler. Then I continued to watch it because I could not figure what it was about. It …
Crimson Tide
Normally I don’t like war movies. They are OK, but they usually focus on blood and guts and really don’t have a whole lot in terms of actual plot. Either that, or they focus on a real historical event and I find myself having a hard time enjoying the …
Never Been Kissed Movie
“Never Been Kissed” is a movie made towards the beginning of Drew Barrymore’s career. I knew she was my favorite actress when I saw “The Wedding Singer”, and this movie made me love her even more. I can’t remember the first time I saw it, but I know that …
Lake House movie
“Lake House” is a movie that truly uncovers true love that transits between time.
Based in present day, Keanu Reeves play the role of an architech who fallen out with his dad. He come to stay in a lake house that was built by his father.
Soon he realises that he …
Tequila Sunrise movie
From 1988, Tequila Sunrise simply bored me from scene to scene. I could never get into it. In fact, I turned off the DVD on one day and went back to it on another, starting from the beginning. It was just too uninteresting.
Now it’s possible that …
Breakfast in Hollywood movie
Breakfast in Hollywood from 1946 has some very delightful moments in it. Apparently, this was a real radio show that was broadcast in Hollywood with host Tom Breneman, who appears as himself in this motion picture that uses his show as a catalyst for several small sub stories.
The …
Bring It On: All or Nothing
Another cheerleading movie. And a Bring It On one too. I believe that this movie might be the third one. So, my parents bought the movie Bring It On All or Nothing on DVD for my little sister. It was released on August 8 and they bought it the …
VooDoo (Horror Movie)
If you ask me about my opinion of this movie. It is —“ “I just wasted 1 hour plus of my life! *Censored*! *Censored*! *Censored*!”
In fact, I did thought of naming this review “VooDoo - a movie to waste 1 hour plus of you life away”. But I guess, …
Shinning Movie
The book is written by Stephen King, the movie is directed by Stanley Kubrick. You can say these two guys are masters in the industry, to come up with an idea like this and to bring it to life.
Every Saturday is what I like to call movie night, but …
WALL-E
When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …
Faeries movie
I watched the movie “Faeries” a very long time ago in about the year 2001 when I had just gotten cable television. I think the first time I saw the movie too was one Saturday on the cable television channel SciFi. I thought it was different from many …
His Private Secretary movie
John Wayne takes second billing in this 1933 motion picture called His Private Secretary. He’s not even a cowboy. Of course, Wayne often played other roles, but he’s at his best when he’s a man with a horse. In this modern day film of its era, …
Wild Hogs (2007)
John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy star in this motorcycle gang comedy.

Golmaal (movie) July, 2006
The movie, Golmaal released on 14th July 2006. It is a really hilarious movie. It has a punch line Fun Unlimited, and well this movie is really fun unlimited, of course without brains. There is no proper plot is this film but the film works for its funny witty …
The Brave One
My husband and I just went to see the latest movie of Jodie Foster called The Brave One. To be honest, at first I thought it was gonna be boring as you know it’s drama.. you can’t expect to see much of action anyway. But turned out it’s the …
The Mask
One of my favourite movies from the mid nineties is a movie called “The Mask” starring the actors Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz. I still think that it was one of Jim Carey’s best movies and it was the best I had seen actress Cameron Diaz look in a …
Enemy At The Gates
No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
Life of Pi, movie
‘Life of Pi’ the movie has garnered many positive reviews mainly through the ears and mouths of my friends. In the midst of my important year, my ‘A’ levels year, I decided to watch this movie due to me being a movie freak and me being tired of studying. …
Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon movie
With the Parent Trap III movie bringing in good ratings for the Walt Disney company, another movie was done the same year called Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon. With Susan now married to Jeffrey Wyatt, the family travels together to Hawaii for the honeymoon. Strange, odd even, but …
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 …
Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
With the next movie franchise coming out soon, I decided to update myself on the Harry Potter series. Sadly though, I was not as fascinated as I should be with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I loved the book, mind you, but I hated the movie. First …
Dan in Real Life
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Dan in Real Life, starring Steve Carell. Carell plays Dan Burns, a newspaper columnist who writes about family issues and relationships. His wife has died recently and he’s struggling as a widower, trying to raise three girls. Trying to keep his family …
Halloween Resurrection Movie
Halloween Resurrection is what some people consider to be the end of the horror movie series. Technically they are right since it was the last film to feature the serial killer Michael Meyers from that particular series. Since then though we have seen Rob Zombie do his own version …

The Fly II, directed by Chris Walas is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was February 10, 1989 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Horror/Science Fiction and stars Eric Stoltz as Martin Brundle, Daphne Zuniga as Beth …
Chicago movie
“Chicago” is a 2002 film that won a ton of awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year. It is a musical featuring Richard Gere, Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and it is really top notch. The music, singing, and acting are great.
Pros: …
Dr. Strangelove (1964 Classic Film)
Quite frankly, I have no intention to watch other Stanley Kubrick (otherwise known as the greatest American filmmaker ever) films after being disappointed by 2001: A Space Odyssey. I watched that film after the release of Nolan’s Interstellar two years ago and I never got the correlation among the two. …
Hope Floats movie
When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …
Teersari Kasam Movie
Teersari Kasam - Teesati Kasam (The Third Vow) is the debut film of Basu Bhatacharya. The film is a unsuccessful love story of a simple village man who is a bullock cart driver by profession, played by Raj Kapoor, and a nautnki women, played by Vaheeda Rehmaan. Kapoor has …
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 …
Cloverfield (2008)
Cloverfield takes place in New York City. The story is that a video camera was found at a “ground zero” site, somewhere near Central Park. On the camera, you begin to see a movie as you would watching a home video. Eventually, after an introduction to the movie to …
BASEketball
This is a truly hillarious movie, directed by Matt stone and try parker, makers of south park.
The story about two friends who invent a hybrid sport mixing baseball and basketball.
Lots of humor which will keep you laughing from start to finish, not stupid humor but made for well designed …
Dan in Real Life
I love going to the cinema. I love the whole experience. Seeing the film on the big screen, eating hot dogs and popcorn and drinking soft drinks. For me the entire experience is enjoyable and I’ve sat through some fairly mediocre films just because i enjoy going to the …
Inception (2010 film)
In the 2010s a new director is threatening to steal the whole Hollywood show for himself-this director is quickly getting close to the very top of my list and his name is Cristopher Nolan-a film-maker whose every new film is better than the last one. His last one is …
Movie Predator
There is this movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger long before he became the Governer of California, it was called the Predator.
This movie is thrilling and exciting. Arnold stars as asoldier of fortune who is assigned with his elite force to seek out a lost group of soldiers. He finds …
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
I recently watched the movie, “I now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” for the first time. This movie is hilarious! The movie is rated PG-13 and stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Steven Buscemi and Dan Aykroyd.
“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” is about Larry Valentine and …
Bowling for Columbine documentary
Bowling for Columbine is a documentary about the violence in the United States, which primarily focuses on the school shooting that took place at Columbine High School in Colorado. The title is a sarcastic explanation for why the two teens did what they did, blaming the bowling class they …
Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All movie
From 1989, Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All stars Stacy Keach in the title role of the famous private eye created by Mickey Spillane. This is somewhat of a weird plot that has Mike Hammer being transported covertly to Las Vegas. One thing leads to another and Hammer …
Brainscan Movie
Brainscan is an older horror movie but an very powerful one. I love Brainscan because it shows us the future we are loving now with 3D virtual reality video games that seem and feel so real to the player. I really liked the cool story about the evil haunted video …
Charlie’s Angels movie
Charlie’s Angels is an action packed movie about three women detectives who work to help stop crime all over the world. The stars of this movie are Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. This movie is action packed from the beginning to the end. One of the best …
