There was much hype over this movie and it was the highly rented movie.Only last month i was able to rent this movie.I have already read the book by Dan brown.i dont think this movie is well translated.If you haven’t read the book before sure it wont …
The Craft movie
The Craft is actually one of my most favorite teen movies. It doesn’t matter if many people might find it unrealistic because it’s all about magic and the supernatural (I’m not one of those people).
Directed by Andrew Fleming and starring Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, and Rachel True, …
Bhul Bhulaiya

1408 movie
1408 (2007) is based upon a Stephen King story starring John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. This is a supernatural story that really leaves you to think about the supernatural. In other words if there really are spirits out there are they going to mess with you? …

The Simpsons Movie
I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …
I Walked with a Zombie movie
Another classic horror film, made back in the 1930s. Very subtle horror is it doesn’t really contain any violence or monsters. A woman travels to Jamaica where she learns of the strange culture called voodoo - the ability to control people using a puppet.
This woman experiences the most remarkable …
Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
Keeping Mum

Movie Happy Feet
This is one of the best cartoons I’ve seen so far. The trailer didn’t look so promising so I never watched this in the theaters. I seldom want to pay for cartoons anyway. Luckily, one of my relatives bought me a DVD version which they said was on sale. …
The Wicker Man (UR, 2006) movie
First, let the record show that I have no idea why this version was unrated. The original 70’s version seemed far more sinister and graphic to me. But I suppose in this day and age, filmmakers had to do something to get people to rent the DVD. …
Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
I decided to see it in its full glory, …
Happy Feet Movie
I saw “Happy Feet” earlier this year after seeing commercial’s for it on TV. I had been told that it was just going to be a cartoon version of another penguin documentary. However, this was not at all the case! I really, really enjoyed watching the …
Julie Johnson (NR, 2001) movie
I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …
Murder by Numbers Movie
Murder by Numbers starring Sandra Bullock was worth watching once, but I just could not bare sitting through the movie a second time. The movie takes a fascinating look at a homicide detective struggling with her own demons as she attempts to solve a seemingly perfect murder plot. The …
The Parent Trap II movie

Gingerdead Man 2 - The Passion Of The Crust Movie
Contrary to a lot of reviews I read before watching this, I did not find this movie hilarious. To me it came off as more annoying and silly than many other B-movies and Horror Comedies; and thus, I found myself immersed in a nightmare which seemed to be a …
Turistas DVD Movie
My first and primary reason I decided to watch Turistas is because of my love for the actor, Josh Duhamel. I really love watching him acting, and if you are trying to recall which one is him, he is the one playing Las Vegas TV episodes. The …
The princess diaries movie
I remember watching “The princess diaries” a couple of years ago. It is a much better movie than I thought. It had a lot of humor to it and it was a good family movie. I watched it with my sisters and my mother on different occasions. It had …

Movie: “Hostel II”
Although it takes a little while to get going, “Hostel II” was a horrifying and satisfying sequel to the first movie.
The plot is similar: three American college girls are lured to a small Slovakian village by a European woman. She’s beautiful and cultured, and seems trustworthy; but, of course, …
Cars movie
I finally got around to watching Cars on DVD this past weekend and I’m glad to say, I didn’t waste my money seeing it at the theater.

Slumdog Millionaire movie
I have to say that the movie is an award winning movie and it did won many awards. The director is Danny Boyle and he’s a British director. He did a fine job in this movie. It was absolutely amazing to watch Slumdog Millionaire and the heart warming story …
The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
Big Daddy
“Big Daddy” is one of the best comic movies for Adam Sandler. One cannot help put sympathise with him while he interprets the role of a guy who has to take care of a kid, Julian that ends up on his doorstep. He has got no idea how he …
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
When Adam Sandler first started out in films, I was a huge fan. But, after some pretty crappy films, I found myself no longer going out of my way to see any of his movies. However, I�m glad I rented his newest movie, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & …

You can count on me movie
Critically acclaimed drama about a woman who alone has to take care of her son. One day her brother comes to visit and things start to change in the relationship betweem the mother and her son.
I do admit that some of the scenes here are heartwarming and that the …
The Mist
Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …
Bubbling Over movie short
Bubbling Over with Ethel Waters from 1934 features Ethel Waters as Ethel Peabody. Also appearing is Hamtree Harrington as her husband, Samson. The whole beginning is on her feet with the broom and it’s highly entertaining. It actually surprised me quite a bit. Sometimes, simple …

Ice Age 4 Continental Drift 2012 Movie
I will be one of the first people to say that when I saw the preview for Ice Age 4 Continental Drift released in 2012, I thought —˜Oh No, not another one!’ Not that I didn’t like the first three because I did. I loved them. I was just …
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail” (1975 Film)
The group of well known British comics who used to star in “Monty Python Flying Circus” short films came out with a film in 1975 called “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. Now, this film is without a doubt an acquired type of comedy, but a comedy none the …
America’s Sweethearts
This movie has some great actors in it, including Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but it’s not a movie I’d sit and watch over and over again. It’s a great Cinderella type movie, but it’s just not my favorite of all time chick flick. This movie feels like the …
Eternal Sunshine, The Teflection of Eternal Love
The complete title of the movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This is quite unusual romance movie, though the main idea of this one is truly amazing. Starring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet, who turned out are able to be wonderful couple here. And directed by Michael …

Somewhere in Time
I’m usually a big Christopher Reeve fan but seeing his 1980 film “Somewhere in Time” yesterday was a serious disappointment for me.
He did a decent job in the movie, don’t get me wrong. So did Jane Seymour and a cast that included Christopher Plummer and a very young William …
