The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …
Murderous Affair: Carolyn Warmus story

Holiday in Handcuffs
ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …

Movie Wednesday
Exceptionally good movie that is all I want to say about this one. The debutant director, Neeraj Pandey did very good job by presenting such a thoughtful movie to the Indian film industry. Keeping in mind that this is his first movie, his efforts should be applauded. Everything was …
Movie Kate and Leopold
We watch a lot of movies, it is our past time, and if you have cable then you don’t have to spend a lot of money going out. I watched a movie the other day called Kate and Leopold. Meg Ryan played Kate and I like Hugh …
Pillow Talk movie
In 1959, Doris Day and Rock Hudson performed together for the first time, and they did it with style. This is a superb comedy with two great performances, not to mention the wonderful talents of Tony Randall. In this movie, Day and Hudson share a party line. …

Their friends and family add primarily negative angst to their lives. Agnes’ sister Claire (played by Kate Reid) …
Babel (Film)
Trust me if I say this: I have never seen a film with intertwining characters as honest and coincidental as this. All because of Alejandro Gonzales Inaritu’s compelling writing and masterful directing that we were able to see four stories, in three countries interweave each other in the most …
The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Movie)
I had heard and read a lot about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before I watched in on DVD yesterday. I have followed the director Terry Gilliam’s career from his Monty Python days, and have very much admired his somewhat strange and eccentric art and movies. I had also …
Penn & Teller Get Killed
A comedian couple have their own show on television. Their humour is very sick in courting to some people and they also use magic. One day they challenge the people watching for murder on themselves.
A very weak comedy to be honest with only a few funny moments combined with …
Kissing a fool
I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …
The Bourne Ultimatum
In the past decade or so, there have been some pretty good actors. Both still famous and those who have fallen from the limelight. One of these actors to surface in the mid to late nineties was Matt Damon. He’s still an extremely successful actor and is the new …

Mean Girls: Bullying and Not Taking it Seriously
New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …
The movie Alvin and the Chipmunks

Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …
Angels and Demons- movie
Before listening to others opinions and reading reviews of the movie, I freed my mind from everything that could have stopped me from enjoying this movie. I walked into the theater with unbiased mind, hoping the best. I had been waiting for the release dates of this movie from …
X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …

A Reasonable Man movie

A Few Good Men movie
A Few Good Men is a very good movie and a very powerful film. I think this is one of the best military movies ever made. Even though it did not have many if any gun battles or fights it truly kept you at the edge of your seat and …

It was one of the box office hits following its release date. The movie stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. The movie is set in a rail yard in Pennsylvania. It started when a train used for transport was asked to make way for an incoming train full of school …
Breakin All The Rules Movie
Breakin all the rules
This movie is basically about how the wrong people are in relationships together and then they eventually get with their soulmate or so it seems. That was my interpretation of it but i am sure if someone else watched it, they will say another story. Why? …
Barney and friends CD
This is a wonderful cd where Barney, the purple dinosour and his friend, baby Bop and BJ teaches little children on how to play safe. They share lessons with the kids about safety rules for playgrounds and parks, while still having fun. Also in this CD the pretend …
Enemy of the State movie
I had always heard about the movie “Enemy of the State” but I had not watched it until a couple weeks ago when I saw the movie being aired on one of my relatives cable television channels. I think the reason why I ignored it at first was probably …

A Christmas Carol 1999 movie
A Christmas Carol, 1999, starring Patrick Stewart, has left me disappointed. I love the story, and I thought Stewart could make a good Scrooge, but his performance had not touched me at all. The movie followed the book closely enough. Scrooge, a lonely, hard-hearted businessman, hates Christmas because he …
The First Wives Club
This is probably one of the most hilarious movies I’ve ever watched. I just love Goldie Hawn and how she portrays the part of a nonsensical washed out actress. I could almost relate to Beth Midler and her insatiable appetite for food and sarcasm. Now, as for Diane Keaton, …
V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta is based on a graphic novel which I had read prior to seeing the movie. I loved the comic book and was nervous going into the movie because I didn’t want to see these characters I love, not done justice. Well, justice they were …
