The Cabin in The Woods Movie
I personally am a sucker for horror movies and usually even before I reach halfway through the movie, I sort of already figured out how things will turn out because quite frankly, every movie that involves a bunch of teenagers who go on vacation in a remote house in …
Disney’s Cars 2 Movie
I recently took my almost 2 year old son to see Cars 2. He is a huge Cars fan, so of course he was very excited to know he would be seeing McQueen and Mater. Unfortunately though, I believe Cars 2 is more geared towards an older audience and …
The Happening
When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …
A Reason To Believe (movie)
A Reason To Believe is the tired story of a college student who gets raped. Charlotte is in college, has a boyfriend and everything seems to be just peachy. I will say that I love Allison Smith in this Lifetime chick flick, and she will not disappoint you because …
Saw IV
Saw IV was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, and this time wasn’t produced by James Wan, but by Mark Burg and Oren Koules. The film was released like the others, just one year after the last around Halloween in 2007. The film plot is based on Jigsaw leaving messages …
30 Days of Night
It was rather disappointing to watch 30 Days of Night on theaters before. I think this movie was a couple of years back and I watched it with my ex boyfriend during that time.
The movie is about vampires or something and the movie effects throughout was rather …
I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
Lowes 20 & 287 Theatre
While we were in Arlington Texas, my son and I had to find a movie theater, there is just so much walking you can do and we just wanted to relax for the evening. We found a theater that was around twenty minutes from the Sheraton that we …
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, …
Pump up the volume movie
About a shy young school boy who has his very own radio programme. He quickly becomes immensely popular among the young listeners, even though their parents consider his language unsuitable for their children and starts protesting against it.
A very, very typical teenage movie from the early 1990s with a …
The Last King of Scotland (movie)
The Last King of Scotland was possibly the first movie that I had seen the Scottish actor James McAvoy in where I began to take him seriously. I remember that when I first watched it, I didn’t have a clue what it was going to be about and so …
Movie Sahara
If you enjoyed watching “The Mummy” and Indiana Jones series, then you are going to enjoy watching “Sahara” which is based on the book with the same name by Clive Cussler.
In “Sahara” the actor, Matthew McConaughey is Dirk Pitt, a marine engineer and explorer is searching of ‘the …
High School Musical
High School Musical debuted on the Disney Channel in January of 2006 and became a nationwide phenomenon, sparking musicals in high schools across the country, a musical tour, and great careers for the actors involved in this show. I am in my twenties and I absolutely LOVE this movie. …
Chernobyl Diaries 2012 Movie
I honestly expected more from the creator of Parnormal Activity Oren Peli. Many people seem to have mistaken this for a found-footage flick possibly due to Peli’s first series Paranormal Activity being found-footage or the fact that even though it’s NOT a found-footage movie they still wave the camera …
Shrek The Third, Chris Miller, Raman Hui Movie
It is the obligation of a son to replace the task father in law as King when King Harold hospital. Not like, Shrek I feel it is not suitable to become King of Far Far And Away. Understandably, although already a member of the kingdom, many prefer to take …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
It is quite unusual to see Renee Zellwegger in a horror movie like case 39, to say the least. When I think about Renee Zellwegger I am coming up with images from Bridget Jones Diary or Jerry Maguire. But she did it, and she did it brilliantly. She brought …
Galaxy Quest movie
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well, Galaxy Quest imitates Star Trek with zest and now Galaxy Quest itself has been imitated on various shows. That’s how well this movie comedy performed.
This entire movie is like a great big Trek satire, starting with the …
Movie Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
I first discovered this bizarre vampire film on TV in the 1970’s under the slightly abbreviated title Dracula’s Greatest Love. This is another in a long line of horror movies starring Spain’s Paul Naschy and his first and only Dracula film.
Some women find themselves stranded …
The Immigrant movie
Charlie Chaplin plays an honest man who immigrates to America. As soon as he reaches the new country he runs in to trouble immedietly.
I think this is one of Chaplin’s most underrated short films. The story has a nearly perfect balance between hysterical physical humour and social criticism, and …
The Witches of Eastwick movie
The Witches of Eastwick is a movie adopted from the novel of John Updike. The story was about three divorced women from a fictional place called Rhode Island of Eastwick. These three women are looking for a right man to fulfill their desires. Jane Spofford played by Susan Sarandon …

Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 7th or 8th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say it, I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.
Johnny Depp has a lot of great films. This is probably one of his best …
Curious George movie
When I saw the cover for this movie it felt like it was a little boring since it has only a monkey holding a telescope. Nevertheless when my niece and I got nothing to do we did give it a try to watch it. At first it was a …
The Station Agent (R, 2003) movie
I have had this movie in my Netflix queue for a long time. And just like so many others, I kept passing over it for some reason or another. I liked the idea of seeing Peter Dinklage (the famous dwarf featured on FX’s Nip/Tuck) in an independent …
Movie Sweet November
This movie is about two people that meet by chance, From the moment they meet is very clear that they have very little in common and have very different personalities. She is hippie like and so full of life but he is still taken with success and …

Whether meeting by chance or intentionally, Jennifer’s characters are always getting caught up in relations that just …

Saw III continues in the fashion of the last 2 films, it was released just one year after the last, released around Halloween of 2006, the movie was produced by James Wan, and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. The plot to the film is the Jigsaw Killer is on …
Midnight Lace movie
In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …
Orphange (movie)
Last week we went and saw the Orphanage, which is currently nominated for foreign film awards. It was in Spanish, however after sitting there awhile you didn’t even need the subtitles to follow the story line.
The film started showing an old orphanage in Spain, there were a …
Film 2012
I went to see 2012 with much expectation due to all hype around it. But I was not very impressed with what I saw in the silver screen. I came out with a mixed feeling. The theme of the story is of course the world gets demolished on 2012, …
The Iron Lady movie
I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …
Mystic River
Mystic River is a movie about three friends who are close when they are young and then something terrible happens. Mystic River is another movie that changes around so much it is hard to follow at times, but the plot is fantastic and Sean Penn as Jimmy is excellent. …
Signs movie
I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King DVD
And so here it is, the final part of this fantastic trilogy. By this point you know if you like the films or not, and for those who do, this is the glorious finale.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT:
As Frodo and Sam draw ever closer to Mount Doom, the rest of the …
The Bridge To Terabithia
First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …
Raise Your Voice
I watched Raise Your Voice starring Hilary Duff the other day and it was not a bad story altogether. In fact, I enjoyed it very much. Her character name in this story is Terri Fletcher (nice name, I must say) and she goes to this school where music …
The Aviator
‘The Aviator’ is an English film directed by Martin Scorcese. The main role is played by LeonardoDicaprio. Leonardo has played the role of Howard Hughes. In the movie, Howard is preparing himself to direct a film. He shoots several films and one of them, Hell’s Angels, becomes a massive …
Green Zone Movie
There were several reasons why my husband and I decided to watch the movie Green Zone when it opens in Singapore this week. The trailer looks enticing and exciting enough. The other reason was of course the main actor, Matt Damon. We both love watching the Bourne trilogy and …
I, Robot Movie
The movie is based on several different works of Isaac Asimov. Thanks to Dr. Lanning the man who had established three major laws of robotics, robots have become a common household item working as servants/helpers. When Dr. Lanning is found dead, everyone thinks it’s a suicide - except for …
“The Wedding Date” (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The Wedding Date” is in the genre of romantic comedy, and while it surely did deliver on the comedy level, I am not so sure the movie was something I could enjoy more than once. I found the plot to be sort of “Pretty Woman” backwards …
Movie: The Hangover
Synopsis: Four men travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. The next morning, three of them wake up in their trashed hotel room and discover the groom is missing. They need to re-construct what happened the night before and find him before his wedding in a little over …
ABD Family’s Original Movie “Cyberbully” (2011 Film)
ABS Family came out with a movie in 2011 called Cyberbully. And I have to just say that this movie went beyond my expectations and brought viewers the type of movie that focuses on a key issue effecting young teens. I was surprised at how relatable the film was …
Planet of the Apes movie
A film that relies a lot on that the audience must not be aware of how the film ends, actually the whole point is put in the open in the last scene. Charlton Heston plays an astronaut who, after a long sleep in space, crashes on an unknown planet …
Days of being wild movie
The chinese director Wong Kar-Wai is my absolute favorite to appear during the last 20 years. Days of being wild is only his second film ever, made in the early 1990s, but already here he showed his amazing talent with an entirely unique way of putting images together and …
The Perfect Storm movie
With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …
Pain and Gain (Film 2013)
Pain and Gain is a film I watched after browsing the web one day and seeing that Dwayne Johnson was going to be staring in one of the roles. I will admit that I am a really big fan of Dwayne Johnson, and I was excited to see him …
Fast & Furious 6 (movie)
With some great action, street racing, lightning fast cars and insane racers the previous Fast and Furious movies had delivered exceptionally well. The latest movie that released in this series was Fast and Furious 6 that claimed to have the same adventure and action of street racing like the …
Babel, the movie
I got to see the movie Babel with a friend last week, and we came out with mixed opinions. I liked the film, and she was less thrilled by it. We both agreed on several things, though. We agreed that the film is fairly interesting and …
