Howl’s Moving Castle
“Howl’s Moving Castle” did not take a step forward for Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio is renowned for excellent story
telling, and stunning animation, but this latest film is not quite an advancement. Past films like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Ponpoko,” “Kiki’s
Delvery service” and “Spirited Away,” each brought more creative …
Untraceable (2008)
Untraceable (2008)is directed by the Gregory Hobilt. I thought this is going to be another boring DVD, with just a normal action flick story. But the storyline is real awesome. It is about this serial killer on the rise who projected his crimes and action deeds …
X-Men Movie
X-Men was an excellent movie if you went with no expectations and had never seen the cartoon or read the comic. However, they changed a lot from both comic and show in the movie and after seeing the movie for the first time, I was infuriated at how they …
Valkyrie movie
Valkyrie is a film in relation to the rise and fall of Hitler and Germany. The movie could be interesting or emotional for those that were a part of the Hitler movement. If you were a part of that you might feel somewhat emotional or offended by reliving the …
Ghost Dad (1990)
Ghost Dad, directed by Sidney Poitier is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date for this movie was June 29, 1990 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Fantasy and stars Bill Cosby as Elliot Hopper, Kimberly Russell as …
Tammy and the Millionaire
Interestingly, after the TV series failed with just one season, Tammy and the Millionaire was released in 1967 with pretty much the same cast as the TV series. Debbie Watson, Denver Pyle, and Frank McGrath are all back, as are the actors who portrayed the Brents and the …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer somehow manages to drain out the glamour and the pomposity - sometimes even the fantasy out of the Superhero World.
Rise of the Silver Surfer seems to suffer from sequel-itis - the narrative isn’t as exciting, the story isn’t impressive. There’s practically no …
Ghostbusters the Movie
This is an oldie but a goodie. Certainly one of the funniest movies to come out dealing with the paranoia. It is also a nice reminder of the days when Bill Murray used to be funny. I really don’t know what happened to him, but he …
Blank Check movie
I completely forgot about this movie until some time recently when I was having a discussion with a few of my friends about children’s movies from the nineteen nineties. The name of the movie Blank Check came up and I decided to write about it. It was not my …

Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …
Mistress of Spices
Mistress of Spices is a very boring and baseless movie I have seen in recent times. I watched it on HBO and I really didn’t like the movie from the very first reel. It is the story of Tilo played by Indian beauty Aishwarya Rai who has the power …
Greystone Inscription
I am reviewing The Case of the Greystone Inscription, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …
Half Baked movie
I used to love Cheech and Chong movies when I was younger, so when I saw this film, I thought it would be something that would pay tribute to what they accomplished.
What I found was another stoner movie that really wasn’t that great.
The acting in the movie was terrible …
Over Her Dead Body
Over Her Dead Body stars the ever sweet Eva Longoria and in this movie, she plays a beautiful dead woman and a gorgeous ghost at that. I laughed for quite a few times and I watched this with my boyfriend recently. Paul Rudd stars as the man that …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I normally like murder mysteries, especially ones that don’t review who the killer is until the very end. However, in the case of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I was very disappointed.
The movie centers around Robert Downey Jr who plays an actor who impersonates a private eye and Val Kilmer, …
The Searchers
The Searchers, directed by John Ford, is a classic for all to see. This movie also stars John Wayne and you just can’t find star power like that anywhere else. The movie is about Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his nephew, not by kin, Martin Paulie (Jeffrey …
Return to Me Movie
Return to me is a terrific little love story.
Bob (David Ducovney) loses his wife in a car accident. After a year of mourning, a friend encourages him to move on with his life and he agrees to go to dinner to meet someone. At the restaurant he and …
Without a Clue
I am reviewing the movie, Without a Clue, a Sherlock HOlmes movie starring Ben Kingsley as Dr. Watson, and Michael Caine as Sherlock Holmes. This movie was produced in 1988. This movie is quite different from any Sherlock Holmes film you’ve scene. What’s the main difference, you ask? …
Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke (movie)
The movie Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke released few years back. The film was directed by Deepak Shivdasani. I watched this film on television. I did not like the movie much except for few of its songs. The leading roles of this film have been played Ajay Devgan, Madhuri …

Staged in the years of the 23rd century, after the Earth had been ravaged and left desolate, human society designed a new way of life and are now living in domes, the great domes of the world are connected to each other through the use of interconnected tubes which …
The grudge 2
If you have already seen the first one, you really don’t want to see this one. For Sarah Michelle Gellar’s fans out there, she died right at the beginning of the movie. Her sister (not from the first movie) replaces her. This sequel is so confusing. All you see …
Summer of Sam movie
Usually, even if it is poorly made, a movie about a serial killer will have at least a couple of redeeming qualities to it.
When it comes to the movie Summer of Sam, this is definitely not the case.
The movie might have been good if they focused on the actual …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
Movie Gothika
This is one of my favorite movies. The first time watching it all my focus was on the movie. It was very entertaining to watch. It kept me watching throughout the whole thing wondering what’s happening next and scared a little. It also has a very good story to …
Movie: 300
First half of the movie was honestly bored but as it get closed to the war scene, it became the best war movie i have ever seen in my life. Only three hundred people were fighting against a huge country for their country. There was a man who called …

I just watched this film last night. It’s a 2006 romantic thriller, Demi Mooore movie, where she played as a best seller author and a loving mom. Her son died from an drowning accident and so she decided to move on with country side to get over that incident …
Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit,1968 movie
This is a good, although dated, family movie that you can safely watch with your children without worrying about bad language, violence, or nudity. If your child is obsessed with horses, like I used to be when I was a kid, this movie will be a great choice.
Helen (Ellen …
Paranormal Activity movie
As Paranormal Activity 2 is coming out soon, I thought it was time to sit down and write a review over the first film. Surely everyone by now has been given one opinion or another; this movie is absolutely terrifying and believable or it’s about as scary as an …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie (2000)
Over the years, there have been an abundance of The Hound of the Baskervilles movies out there. It’s probably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most recognized tale which features his classic Sherlock Holmes character. Playing the iconic role in this 2000 TV movie is Matt Frewer, who is …
Master of Disguise-movie
I recenlty watched a film starring the comedian Dana Carvey.It was called the Master of Disguise.It was about a young italian waiter named Pistachio Disguisey who must rescue his father Fabbrizio who has been captured by a villan Devlin Bowman.Pischaccio’s family has the gift of super skills in disguise.Devilin …
Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
The Holiday movie
The Holiday is a movie about two women who switch houses for a holiday. Both are rather depressed and without partners, and in need of a big change in their lives. Cameron Diaz plays the frustrated Amanda, and Kate Winslet plays Iris. Iris seems overall more stable and centered …
You don’t mess with the Zohan
I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is its a little less funnier than previous Adam Sandler movies. Yes it has its funny moments but there are also a lot of boring and corny parts. The main story is about …
Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
The Omen (2006)
A modern remake of a classic horror where it tells the story of a boy who bears the mark of the devil and who has come to claim the world as his own once he comes of age. For ages the coming was foretold and no one could stop …
Snakes On A Plane Movie
Snakes On A Plane is a movie that I actually like. I missed out on all the hoopla surrounding the movie, and never visited any of the spoiler sites, or the blogs that followed the movie’s progress so I didn’t have any expectations going into the movie. All I …
The Movie Madagascar
Madagascar was a movie that I could not wait to see. The trailers looked hilarious and it seemed to have good animation. I, as usual, waited for the movie to be available for rent before I saw it. I was really glad that I did not go and …
White Chicks (2004)
White Chicks, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude and sexual humor, language and some drug content. The original release date was June 23, 2004 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime and stars …
The Color Purple
The Color Purple (1985) was a great film which was both melancholy and sentimental that was taken from the 1983 Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning book which was written by Alice Walker. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and co-written by Alice Walkeras well. This story centered …
Transporter 3
I been watching the Transporter series for quite a while already. I was clearly impressed on how cool was the “Frank Martin” character.
In this third series, it involves Frank transporting a kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. Clearly for a start, I had difficulties catching up on …
The Pursuit of Happyness, Gabriele Muccino Movie
Setting with in city of New York 1981. That time, Chris Gardner, is a medical equipment sales, trying to overcome life increasingly difficult. Medical tool that it was selling less so behavior, even from day to day, as if Chris can not run again role as breadwinners for their …
Enemy At The Gates
No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
Billa 2007
Billa 2007 is a Tamil film which is a remake of the Rajinikanth starred old Tamil film Billa. In this film Ajith played the role of Billa, an international smuggler. The other cast of the movie are Prabhu, Nayanthara, Namitha, Rehman, Santhanam, etc. Vishnuwardhan was directed …
The Patriot (movie)
Of the Mel Gibson movies I’ve seen, I wouldn’t put The Patriot toward the top of the list. But, it is still a good historical fiction film to consider on a weekend when you want to feel a bit more patriotic.
The thing I like about this movie is it …
Striptease Movie
I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …
Paranormal Activity (2009 film)
This is one of those love it or hate it movies. I don’t think there is anyone who came away from this with a middle of the road reception. I myself could’ve gone either way as many of the reviews I heard were “it’s really good, it’s …
