Happy Feet Movie
My one year old daughter absolutely loves this movie. We have the DVD and I believe we have watched this movie atleast twenty times. She adores the dancing and singing and gets the happy feet herself as she dances non stop to the musicals. I myself love the humor …
Movie: Despicable Me
Plot: Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is a super villain who must adopt three young girls as part of a plot to steal the moon.
What I liked about this movie: To be honest, I wasn’t really expecting too much from the movie. But, it turned out to be a …
John Carter, Disney Movie
Edgar Burroughs is one of the most filmed authors of all time; what is unique about that in general is the fact that it is due to only one of his books - “Tarzan”, while always is adapted the first book and never the more fantastic and wacky adventures …
The Amazing Spiderman (movie)
Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …
Dead Silence (2007)
If you’re in the mood for some mindless scares, the recently released “Dead Silence” might be a good choice for you. I, however, find it too gory and frightening, and having no deeper message than “Boo!!” is, for me, a big turn-off.
The story is about a dead ventriloquist (performer …
Final Destination movie
First when I decided review this movie; I had no idea where to start and what to write because the stream of mixed feelings came to my mind about it. A few days ago, when I was with my friends, they asked me to join them; even though I …
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014 Film)
As usual, this review will spoil no plot details, so feel free to read without any spoilers.
2 years ago, I haven’t even seen a single Wes Anderson film. Not until I was introduced to a seemingly, picturesque-filled title like “The Grand Budapest Hotel” midyear.
During that time, I believe I …
101 Dalmatians (1996)
A real life remake of the animated classic of the same name. Walt Disney’s 101 Dalmatians captured the hearts of many people worldwide using their animated version of the movie and they try their hand at it again with live action. Even this time around with the use of …
Dodgeball movie
Comedy about a team of nerds who decide to team up in a dodgeball competition and defeat their rivals. That’s the whole plot of this film so it doesn’t really leave a lot of room for thought. The humor is of a kind that don’t appeal to me at …
Marley & Me (2008)
This movie starts off simple enough with a newly married couple finding their way in the world, firstly by moving to a newer, warmer city, finding jobs and then finding a place to call home. Everything was going well, that was until talks of a baby came up and …

Se7en (1995 Classic Thriller Film)
When everyone else is busy watching the seemingly endless mediocre movies put out by today’s filmmakers who happens to only entertain, I’m here digging up classics which I thought would be medicine to my ever needing needs for great films.
It’s been my tradition to watch classic films now and then. …

Sisters of the Gion
Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …
AT&T Wireless
Its been maybe 2 or 3 years since I’ve had another wireless service other than AT&T. Some use to always say that a not so good signal was the result of cell phone type, I don’t think thats the case, it is the result of having the right cellphone …

American Psycho
Christian Bale shines in this movie, being a very ‘bad’ person, if you get what I mean. I think he’s a real psycho deal in this movie, and his character is really so convincingly bad, that I think most good looking guys like him are real bad. This …
Omkara Movie
Omkara - Movie Review : Omkara is an adaptation of Shakespepere Drama Othello. It has been presented very well, in an indianised way by the director, Vishal Bharaddwaj. The story is about politics, love, relations, and jealousy, presented with help of charectes - Omkara, the lead played by Ajay …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
“TIME AND TIME AGAIN” Movie
I have watched Time and Time Again, that many times! Starring Steve Reeve, it is the tale of a man who upon finding a way back into time, finds a true love. By true love, I mean a love he is willing to die for.
The star is whished back …
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)
I only rented this movie because I wanted to see a really intriguing suspense film with Michael Douglas. He tends to be in films that have lots of steamy action and great cinematic tension. This film was about a D.A. who was running for office. …
Land of the Dead (2005) Movie
Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …
10th Kingdom Movie
A fairytale story about some teenagers finding themselves in the world of Snow White, Cinderella and lots of other fairytale characters when walking through Central Park in New York.
A film clearly intended for young teenagers, but if you look at it in that way I actually have to admit …

I watched The Runaways last night not knowing what the story was about. My sister-in-law asked me to watch it and tell her the gist of the story so that she can be included at some of their little chit-chats at the office. She feels a little …
Hindi Movie Black and white

I went to see Spider Man 3 last weekend with some friends. I guess I have to say first off that I’m not a huge fan of Spider Man, but like it well enough to see the movies. I liked the second movie better than the first, but I …

Private Lives of Pippa Lee film
I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I watched it on my Virgin on Demand service - I was basically browsing for an easy, fun, romantic comedy and thought this fit the bill from the description.
It’s not just a ‘chick flick’ or your predictable Romcom though.
First off, our …
I know who killed me movie
I know who killed me (2007) directed by Chris Silverton stars Lyndsay Lohan and Julia Ormond. This movie is one that is labeled under suspense and thriller and is an ‘R’ rated movie.

Drive 2011 film
Before seeing this movie in the theater, I’d never heard of Nicolas Winding Refn. The film surprised me, and pleasantly so.
Keep in mind that when I say pleasantly, I mean brutally. To some these words may be interchangeable. I’d advise you to avoid such individuals. “Drive” was one of …
Lord of War Movie Staring Nicholas Cage
Since the genre of movies I am inclined with the most seems to have hit a rut that it is now stuck in (horror), my shift is moving more towards those movies that involve some sort of quest for economic prowess and financial freedom, with the nitty-gritty being displayed …
500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …
Chiedimi se sono felice movie
Yesternight, I watched this movie, from three Italian Actors that are rather famous here in Italy. They are called by their first names, know as Giacomo, Aldo and Giovanni, which are in fact also their characters’ names in the films they’re also (!) making on their own.
I had seen …

Zombeavers, horror movie
With a movie title like this, you have a pretty good idea of what sort of movie you’re in for. This isn’t going to be a good movie in the traditional sense, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be an entertaining one.
Odd as it may sound, it …
Hidden Figures (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
Movies that emit contagious amount of goodness are rare these days, but this new Theodore Melfi-directed film is such a treat to the senses. It’s no denying that I applauded so many times in the duration of this movie.
Hidden Figures is about the untold true story of three black …
The Disappearance of Flight 412 movie
I remember watching The Disappearance of Flight 412 when it came on TV for the first time in 1974. I bought it, hook, line, and sinker. I’m not necessarily talking about the UFO bit, well, yes, I am.
The truth is that I’m not arrogant enough to believe …

Spread the Movie
This is most definitely not a romance movie. This movie is essentially the story of a young guy living in LA and getting by on his looks alone, until he finds love i guess. Ashton is essentially plays a pool boy role minus the pool. And Anne is the …
