Kick Ass: Movie
Kick-Ass is one of my favourite films to come out of the last couple of years, mainly down to how unique it is and its fascinating analysis of a wannabe superhero.
This superhero is just an ordinary teenager, and the story shows that. You get a good back story to …
Walk to Remember
“Just promise that you will never fall in love with me”. A famous line from the movie Walk to Remember which stars Mandy Moore and Shane West. This is a sad love story but I really like it. At first I thought its just another ordinary love story wherein …

Stranded (2001) Movie
This is a science fiction film about the first manned trip to Mars. Instead of being action as most science fiction movies are, this is a drama. It’s also a survival story, one that’s filmed pretty decently on a low budget. It’s the story of five people stuck on …
Stargate SG-1 - Broca Divide
“Broca Divide” is the fourth episode of the first season of “Stargate SG-1″. It’s an all-time fan favorite, and I love it. There are several notable events about this episode.

Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …

Rosalee (Kate Bosworth) is a supermarket cashier and a big fan of Tad Hamilton, a movie star. Tad (Josh Duhamel), it turns out, has a problem: his stardom has changed his image and the public no longer sees him as simple, friendly boy-next-door he is trying to portray in …

This is a very innovative gangster movie from director Seijun Suzuki. Leading actor Tetsuya Watari does a brilliant job as the hero of the movie, dressed in a blue (!) suit, “Phoenix Tetsu”. Everything is beautifully shot in color, and the action sequences are excellent for a 1960s movie. …
The Princess Bride Movie
I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …
Koyaanisqatsi movie
This is the first avant garde film from Godfrey Reggio that uses a completely unique narrative based on the rythm between images and music. Or actually, it isn’t completely unique, but I believe Koyaanisqatsi was the first full feature film to be created like this and certainly the most …
Kaw movie
Last night I just this movie, ‘Kaw’. actually, I don’t like kind of movie like this, but last night, there’s no such a good program in television, so I watched it while I still online and chat with my friends.

Step Up 2: The Streets
Although it is the sequel of “Step Up”, “Step Up 2: The Streets” offers a different type of movie from the original version. I expected the story to be based again, like in the original movie, at the Maryland School of Arts, however the action takes place else where …
Hi De Ho movie
As the name might indicated, Hi De Ho is a Cab Calloway feature. The 1937 film has the famous bandleader belting out his special Hi De Ho song with a zing.
However, there is a disturbing nuance in the opening. We have Cab singing to a woman named …

Transformers The Dark Side of the Moon Movie

The Princess and the Frog movie
I was absolutely enchanted by the opening of Disney’s 2009 production, The Princess and the Frog. The color, the animation, the music, and the transitions were terrific. We start by meeting Charlotte and Tiana and then we learn that the storyteller is Tiana’s mom. We watch …
Annabelle (2014) - Spin-off of ‘The Conjuring’
For me, most horror movies that have been produced in the last decade have merely used rehashed cliches and the same formulas to create what often turns out to be a subpar movie. The story doesn’t flow often and cheap tactics are used to incite fear. ‘Annabelle’ is another one …
Inherit the Wind
At the heart of this film is a powerful controversy, one that still inspires heated debates today. On trial in this movie is not just a teacher’s right to teach certain subjects, but our right as American citizens to freedom of speech and freedom of choice.
Certain characters, mainly townsfolk, …
From Hell (2001)

DVD PATRIOT
Has Mel Gibson ever made a worse film?
Trying to cash in on Mel’s tremendous success in BRAVEHEART, Roland (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW among other travesties) Emmerlich cast Mel in a really badly written American Revolution historical picture.
Originally conceived as a WW2 movie, it mutated into the junk that …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …

The Fly is a great movie. I consider this movie a horror classic. It is also a great science fiction movie. I like the whole story and plot. The Fly is about a scientist that thinks he discovered something great. But an experiment goes wrong and his DNA gets crossed …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …
After Dark Horror Fest: Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is this weird little movie that I’m still not too sure about. I bought it because I had seen almost every other movie in the 2007 After Dark Horror Series except for this one. Looking at the back of the box and seeing the actors in the …

Movie Angels and Demons
I am a big fan of Dan Brown’s novels. They are, for me, the kind of books that I could finish in one sitting, simply because they are too thrilling that I can’t keep my hands off it. So when it was announced that this is going to be …
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)
Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, is one of the best Frankenstein movies that has ever been made. This movie is so powerful that it moved me in a way that no other movie ever has. It stars Robert De Niro, who is an incredibly talented actor, as …

Edge of Tomorrow (movie)
It took me three tries to watch this movie. I gave up on it the first two times because I was tired and irritated and didn’t have the patience to wait for it to get to the point. On the third time however, when I wasn’t feeling so tired I …
Poltergeist - Supernatural Horror Movie (2015)
As far as horror movies go, Poltergeist is not a movie I’m planning to watch again. It’s a remake of the 1982 movie, Poltergeist, and from what I hear, the original is way better. Although I watched this in 3D in theaters, there were very few scares to boast of …
Prom Night
I’m a huge fan of thrillers; at least those that can actually give me some chills. So, when I had an opportunity to watch the movie Prom Night, I jumped at the chance.
Overall, I found the movie to be much better than I expected it to be. But, there …

Monkey Shines
Monkey Shines is a pretty good movie, and yes it is kind of scary. It is not super scary. It’s more of a movie that messes with your head. But the monkey in the movie does look kind of spooky. The music in the movie was pretty dark and scary. …

The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …
