It has been a while since I actually watched a psycho thriller. Psycho thrillers are weird, crazy and scary, but I enjoy them a lot! Last week, I finally got my hands on a DVD copy of Shutter Island and I was oozing with curiosity with just what is …

Wes Anderson, as a director, has a tendency to be too quirky for his own good. After two great films with Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, his films became inconsistent. I’m not a big fan of The Royal Tenenbaums. I highly enjoyed Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. …

This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …

Letters from a Killer (1998) is a thriller that some still have a hard time watching, not because of the action on screen, but what happened off screen. It was while shooting this movie in California, that Patrick Swayze went head-first into a tree and almost killed himself. It …

Frances Langford had the starring role in a 1944 musical called Career Girl. Her character’s name was Joan Terry, an aspiring singer, which meant, of course, that the movie was full of songs sung by Langford.
What makes Career Girl a bit difficult to watch are a few …

Period dramas are not that interesting to me unless they are released to compete for awards. Take for example “Age of Adaline”, it was very nonsensical and boring because it was solely made for entertainment. It was presented like it was a true story but it was purely science fiction.
Dramas …

It took me quite some time before I was actually able to watch the movie “Cinderella Man” being that it was not the type of movie which I usually liked watching at the time, and I thought that it would probably be another boring sports drama film which I …

I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …

The second in the original star wars triogly was the Empire Strikes back. this movie in my opinion was a bridge between the first installment the Star Wars, and the third movie of the trioplogy the Return of the Jedi.
Again we meet Luke as he is a …

I really didn’t know what to think when I first heard of this short film, which was written by ‘Belly’ writer Hype Williams and directed by Kanye West. If I had not been able to read a brief description of the movie at the time that I heard about …

It was real tough to decide whether to give this movie a 10 or a 9… I hesitate to put it up there with the best movies of all time, but I feel the urge. Children of Men is a truly great film. I think it is fairly groundbreaking …

This was a really good movie. Although it made me cry a lot during the movie. Some of the previews made it look like a funny movie and although it had a couple funny parts in it, it was more sad than anything. I cried almost throughout the whole …

Happy Feet is about the story of a penguin named Mumble who was born to be good in tap dancing, but unfortunately not in singing, which is somewhat required in all penguins. His passion and skill for tap dancing was of course unusual for them who were taught to …

Winter Passing was a beautifully made piece depicting the life of a young actress who must come to terms with her father, who has created a pseudo-family around him. While incredibly well-done, the truth is I found it rather depressing. The relationship with her father heals, the discomfort she …

This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …

The way people were hyping the movie made me very excited to see it. I was ready for a movie with wall to wall laughs, and a great story, like a Finding Nemo. What I got was a few laughs and a lackluster story, in my opinion. …

Boogie Nights was released in 1997 and while at the time only had few actors with names anyone knew, by now everybody knows John C Riley, William H Macy, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg and Burt Reynolds are some of the cast. The movie is about an adult film …

The self-biographical film by Cameron Crowe in which a young music journalist gets to travel around america with a rock band and experience the same thing they do. Almost Famous is a film about growing up, being an individual, but also a very touching portrait of the people associated …

Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …

Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …

Babes in Toyland was released in 1934, in black and white color. This is a classic musical movie with its cuteness and its real singing talent. I was introduced to this movie as a child and had the hardest time trying to find it as an adult because I …

When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …

Compared to other Emmerich’s films, like Independence Day and other cathastrophic films, this movie the …

I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …

The Warriors, a 1979 film directed by Walter Hill, is an action film that depicts gang warfare in New York City. This timeless film, set in an alternate world where flamboyantly dressed gangs run rampant throughout the city, artfully balances between gritty realism and surreal fantasy. The …

I found this movie to be drawn out, lacking in valuable information known in the real Black Dahlia murder, and more of a love story than a mystery.
Being a huge fan of true crime books and movies I anticipated the release of The Black Dahlia on dvd. I had …

Scary Movie is one of those movie series where its really hard not to laugh. The only problem with these series is that each sequel ends up repeating jokes, and slowly loses the audience. The big thing with scary movie 4 is that this is not true. The begging …

Watching the DVD movie, Hitman really makes me yawn so much. Though it is based from a game from Playstation or something, it does nothing to me at all. It’s like watching Alias or just a B-Grade TV action drama series or something. I really felt it …

I’m really not a huge fan of Eddie Murphy’s movies and so when the movie “A Thousand Words” came out I wasn’t really interested in seeing it. It took me a couple months of yearning for a proper comedy to watch and a little bit of boredom to see …
