Cinema Paradiso (1988 film)
This film made me cry. Maybe because I’m prone to nostalgia or maybe because I’ve always loved cinema, and “Cinema Paradiso” (”Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” by its original Italian title) is both a movie steeped in nostalgia and a movie obviously made by a lover of the movies.
The story of …

Get Smart
I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …
The Eleventh Hour Environment Movie
While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang Movie
This was the second installment of the movie Nanny McPhee. It was another comedy and fun movie for kids and kids at heart because of the magical and wit touch of the movie.
Surely Emma Thompson was just the same character as she was in the first sequel of the …
The Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …

Quantum of Solace
What is it?
I think this is the first James Bond film to be produced that was not taken from a book written by Ian Fleming, the author of all the other ones. It was released in October 2008.
What is the plot?
James Bond sets out to save the world …
Movie : The Fair Haired Child
The Fair Haired Child, directed by William Malone, is an entertaining entry into the Masters of Horror series. I love this series of hour long films from Showtime and wish it hadn’t gone off the air. I love how it took the spirit of old eighties shows …
Lucky Numbers
“Lucky Numbers” is the comedy that must have give the actor, John Travolta a lot of nightmares because unfortunately he got a Razzie Award for his interpretation of Russ Richard. I must admit that John Travolta interpretation lacks that special magic, however it was very much unfair to hand …

Dead Silence (R, 2007) movie
“Dead Silence” looks like it’s going to be corny and slow-moving. In some parts it certainly is. The plot revolves around the old legend of Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who had her tongue cut out by townspeople. Of course her ghost comes back and takes revenge. …

Terminator Salvation DVD
I am not a big Terminator fan because I always consider that a pretty superficial trilogy of movies but this one really surprised me. Actually when I saw Christian Bale was playing John Connor I immediately knew this film is going to be better than any other Terminator before …
Red 2 (movie)
I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …

Enchanted
“Enchanted” is a fantastic musical film for all those who believe in dreams and fairytales. In a nutshell, this film is a modern day fairytale partly filmed and partly animated. I have noticed that the same concept of filming was used also in the recent “Alving and the Chipmunks” …

Sex and the City (2008)
OK, let us see what this movie has in store for the poor viewers such as us. To start off with, in my estimation, why the hell was this even put into production? As if the series was not torturous enough, now we have to be subjected to this …
The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …
The Other Boleyn Girl (PG-13, 2008) movie

Night at the Museum

Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
I thought I had seen just about all the slasher films that were going to be good in 2008. I will confess that the 8 Films to Die For series has left me cold on a few occasions. However this film had me intrigued from the very …

Ice Princess, movie (2005)
Disney films can be characterized by the epithet “fairy tale.” And The Ice Princess is no exception: a simple, somewhat naive plot. A schoolgirl heroine, a kind of “Cinderella” who is bound to become a star at the end. There are very few movies about sports, per se. In …
