Hero (2004) Movie
A movie about a plot to kill the emperor…now where has this been done before?? The use of colours in this movie is overdone and it makes the movie confusing as well. Each different explanation of a particular story brings a different colour in play…what are the colours trying …

The Back Up Plan 2010 movie

Stargate SG-1 - Brief Candle
The “Brief Candle” episode of Stargate SG-1 is an okay episode. I watch it alot, but it’s not a huge favorite. There are things I love about it, and there are aspects that keep it from being a stellar show.

Taken 3 (action movie)
When the trailer for Taken 3 was released, I didn’t get the feeling that it would have been as big as the first one was. Then after it was released, I noticed that it had gotten some fairly low ratings from viewers on various sites such as IMDB. Nevertheless, this …
Beautiful and Twisted (thriller movie)
I’ve been a fan of the actor Rob Lowe for some time, and so when I saw that he was playing the main role in the movie “Beautiful and Twisted” I was interested to see what it would be all about. I was lucky enough to catch the movie from …
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …

Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …

Jacobs Ladder
Jacobs Ladder is a strange movie, to say the least. I have watched Jacobs Ladder several times and still don’t know for sure if Jacob, the main character, is just a psychotic man with mental problems or if what he experiences actually happened. That is the appeal of this …
What Happens in Vegas film
When I first saw the movie “What happens in Vegas” advertising to be released in theatres late last year I was a bit annoyed that they had released yet another romance comedy movie which I just knew was to going to be very funny or interesting. Another reason why …
Nim’s Island (2008) Movie
The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …
King Kong vs. Godzilla
King Kong vs. Godzilla is the first color Godzilla movie, and in a way, I kind of wish that it was not. Both King Kong and Godzilla look ugly and fake as do the sets and the military tanks and other artillery. I also do not like how the …

Avatar (2009 film)
Any film with many disparate (though often impressive) elements and a lot of hype and money behind it is bound to create both ardent fans and ardent critics, and James Cameron’s sci-fi epic “Avatar” (which was also released in both 2 and 3D) is a prime example. There’s …

The Runaway Bride,1999 movie
“The Runaway Bride” is a romantic comedy, light, witty, and well-made, although perhaps with a bit unrealistic premise. Maggie Carpenter (Julia Roberts) is a small town woman who has become a local celebrity of sorts for leaving several fiances at the altar and running away - just like that, …

Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Film)

Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …

Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …

The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters.

9 to 5 by Dolly Pardon
9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …

Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …
