The A-Team: Movie
The A-Team is a fun, action-packed remake of the TV series that I think will be of interest to a lot more people than it is given credit for.
I thought that the action scenes were very good and quite unique; given the circumstances they often find themselves in they …
Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
This is a tough one. Bright cast, and comedy done in the style of Mel Brooks’ comedy, prevalent during the 70s, this film showed great promise. But for me, while quaint, this film did not deliver on it’s character expectations.
The story centers around Segerson Holmes, jealous older brother of …

Meet the Parents, movie
Ben Stiller brings this familiar romp to life along with a strong supporting caste including Robert De Niro. I Thought this film captured some of the better elements that occur when meeting a fiancée’s in-laws for the first time, and it brought something different to a genre where I …

Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
The Smurfs 2 - Movie
The great performance (600 million dollars) of the first feature movie about the Smurfs (2011) made the continuation of their adventures an inevitability. And it is already a fact - three-dimensional, dynamic and colorful as usual. In the center of the story is Gargamel, who is a superstar in …
Movie Plague Town (NR, 2008)
I really tried to like this movie. Usually when a film is made in a foreign country like Ireland, the acting is typically good. But this time, an American family decided to go trekking through Ireland in search of their ancestral roots. First of all, …
Adjustment Bureau Movie
I was very excited to see the Adjustment Bureau. I am usually a fan of Matt Damon’s work because he is a very solid actor and has done movies that I have enjoyed in the past. Emily Blunt, although a much newer addition the Hollywood scene has also proven …

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy with an almost universal appeal, simply because it is, at it’s heart, a great movie. The plot isn’t meant to appeal solely to women, or even towards men, as one would expect from a Judd Apatow Production. Instead, it is a movie …

The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …

Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green

Quantum of Solace
Some says this is the best movie of the most famous secret agent 007, named James Bond. I also read from a local newspaper that Prince Charles of England watched this movie when launched at the first time. But, honestly speaking to me, this is one of the worst …
Julie and Julia
I wasn’t prepared to like Julie and Julia when I rented it on DVD; although I enjoy Nora Ephron’s writing, whether it is books or screenplays, I just didn’t think a movie about the famed cook Julia Child would be that interesting. Despite the fact that she remains one of …

Bloodrayne
I love vampire movies so it should be a bit surprising I didn’t get around to watching the film Bloodrayne until tonight.
The movie was OK but not as good as I thought it would be.
The problem with movies based on video games is they tend to assume you actually …
Yes Man (2008)
I’ve seen this movie last week, with some friends in the local multiplex. Well, this one, is probably one of those movies you watch and enjoy while watching it, and you forget the moment the credits start to roll. There isn’t anything much, or memorable about this movie (well, …

Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …
Movie: Biloxi Blues
I am not a huge Matthew Broderick fan but I ended up watching one of his movies last night; Biloxi Blues; mostly because I was in the mood for a good war movie.
Unfortunately for me, this film just wasn’t that good.
I loved Christopher Walken in this movie as the …
The Family Man movie

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 …

Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …

Movie Because I Said So
I was very reluctant to watch the movie “Because I said So”. That’s not because I’m not a fan of Diane Keaton or Mandy Moore. It’s because most romantic comedies have the same basic plot and I knew this one wouldn’t be any different.
And, I was right. However, after …
Blood Diamond movie
