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 …
The Contender
I’ll just start with the part I didn’t like. I didn’t like the speech at the end by the President as played by Jeff Bridges. I had liked his character up until then but something about the way it was written seemed obvious to me somehow. Maybe in this …
Sleuth
Sleuth is a mystery, thriller and suspense type movie about Andrew. Andrew is a mystery writer with a wild imagination. I think it is quite amusing that the main character of the movie that is a mystery type film will have the main character as a mystery writer. Sometimes …
A night in the museum

Click movie
This is one of Adam Sandler’s movie that made me cry. At first it was a little boring since it started with Adam being a workaholic guy for the benefit of his family who is a little piss off because there were different remote control for every house hold …
The Haunted Mansion (movie)
I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …

The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …
Biutiful movie
Barcelona, a lively and colorful city of beautiful landscapes and buildings, two young and beautiful tourist in search of adventure, all gathered in a romantic drama full of humor that is the essence of the film Vicky Cristina Barcelona , which seems to take place in a world completely …
Greencine
Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …
Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray, who in my opinion is the greatest comedian since Groucho Marx, appears in the film a journalist who has to relive a day over and over. Apparently there is something he does wrong in this did and he tries to figure out what it is, but as …

Rain in the Mountains (2007)
As movies go this is best viewed with plans of lobbing popcorn at the screen from time to time. The plot was shaky and the acting so bad it was amusing. However, it is not entirely without merit for a small subsection of the population living in the Pacific …
Omkara
Omkara is the Indian adaptation of the play Othello, written by the legendary Shakespeare. The characters are same, only the settings of the play has been changed. Othello has become Omkara, Desdemona has become Dolly Mishra,Lago has become Langda Tyagi.This story is set in a village. A political leader …
Zombieland movie
I’ve never been one to be a fan of blood and gore zombie movies. Ever since I was a kid and channel surfed across a midnight showing of Day of the Dead on TV (of which up until that point, I had no clue how icky the human imagination …
The Ghost and the Darkness (DVD)
‘The Ghost and The Darkness’ is based on an amazing true story. In 1896, an Irish engineer named John Patterson, played by Val Kilmer, was sent by the British government to build a railway in East Africa. Leaving behind his pregnant wife, Patterson came to Tsavo; East Africa determined …
Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …
Spiderman:The Movie
I watched Spiderman a while back and loved it. Since then, I have also seen Spiderman 2 and 3. When I took out the old film to watch, I was a little surprised at how phony the graphics looked. I had thought that they were so realistic when I …
Ed Wood (Film)
Ed Wood is a film by Tim Burton which stars Johnny Depp playing the title character of the film. For those of you who don’t know, Ed Wood was a Hollywood director who was voted as the worst director of all time from several polls and this is basically …
Strangler’s Wood movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Strangler’s Wood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
Strangler’s Wood is a movie that revolves around the mysterious …
Sublime Movie
Sublime is quite possibly the oddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Once the movie ended, I was left feeling very confused and still trying to figure out what happened. Sometimes that is a good thing, like in Momento, but it wasn’t a good thing in this …
Legally Blonde
I have watched Legally Blonde like 5 times and counting, and still I am not bored with it at all. The DVD is always amongst my top 5 of movies that I will watch on a regular basis and Reese Witherspoon sizzles as we already know and alongside Luke …

Wolf Movie
I love werewolf movies. But, until last night, I had never seen the 1994 film, Wolf.
Well, I finally got a chance to see it and found it really wasn’t worth the wait.
Jack Nicholson is pretty decent as a business man who gets bit by a wolf and starts turning …
Captain America movie
When I first heard about the Captain America movie, my first thought was, “How can Chris Evans be The Human Torch AND Captain America?” Is the smooth-talking wise-cracking lady’s man really the right person to be playing the man who fights for truth, justice, and the American way? Director …
The Twilight Zone episode “Memphis” (2003)
I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …

The Santa Clause 3 (2006 film)

300 (The Movie)
Being a fan of action and adventure, I had high hopes for this movie. I can gladly say that I was not disappointed. It was so great and kept me on the edge of my seat. The scenes were beautifully done and so picturesque. It told the story of …
Alex and Emma (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Alex and Emma” starring Kate Hudson in the early stages of her career, and Luke Wilson, was a film that was really trying to be romantic and funny. I could see it in the jokes and scenes that were exaggerated. However, it really did not deliver. …
The Puppet Masters
The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …

The Maltese Falcon
I have seen dozens of mysteries but none of them compare to the movie The Maltese Falcon. Even though the movie was made 34 years before I was born, it is still the best murder mystery ever.
Humphrey Bogart is amazing as the detective Sam Spade. There’s nothing to not …

“Easy A” (2010 Film)
The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …
The Pianist (2002) Movie
The Pianist is a true spectacular, bona fide and triumphantly made movie which was based on the true-life story of a brilliant pianist and composer, Wladyslaw Spzilman, which was portrayed perfectly by Oscar winner, Adrian Brody.
I fell inlove with the movie the instant its first short part of black …
A Thousand Words (movie)
