Rent movie
I was still in High School when the Broadway musical Rent became a success. I remember asking for the soundtrack for Christmas. It was one musical that I had always wanted to see but never got the opportunity to. Of course when I heard that Sony Pictures was bringing …
Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …
The Haunted Mansion (movie)
I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …

Seventh Son, Movie
Boasting an impressive cast, and based on the book, A Spook’s Apprentice by Joseph Delaney, there were high hopes amongst many for this film. Early trailers showed some promise, but the delays in production, followed by a weak showing at the box office, hint at the real quality, or lack …
There will be blood
‘There will be blood’ is a good English movie. But it is also rather sad to watch this movie because the movie shows the exploitation of the lower class. Directed by Paul Thomas, the movie is a grim one. The main actor has performed well. It is not possible …
The Purge, 2013 Movie
For one night a year, all crime is legal. It’s a very compelling idea for a movie, right? If the film is well executed then yes, but in the case of The Purge, it’s really nothing more than an average movie.
The Purge was one of the first movies in …

Cop Out Feature Film
This movie made me sad to watch. How far has Bruce Willis fallen that he does this kind of movie? I get why Tracy Morgan was happy to make this film, but Bruce could do so much better. The action was nice, it was not …
The Lake House Movie
Trying to describe this movie is difficult because the “science” of it detracts from its warmth and the beauty of the love story between two people who had to be together in spite of the impossibilty of it. I watch it often and never tire of it.
A quirk in the …
Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …

“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …
The Book of Eli
As the movie started, my roommates joked that this was “Fallout: The Movie”. Given that it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the country is a vast wasteland, comparisons are inevitable, but some of the set pieces were also very reminiscent of the game. Given that …
King Kong
When I saw the preview to King Kong, I knew it was a must seen movie . I was right. I didn’t care to watch the old King Kong, because I don’t like older movies. However, the new one, even though created in modern times, shows the world …

“It’s Complicated” movie
The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …

Love & Friendship (2016 Period Comedy Film)

What happens in Las Vegas
Although this is a quite new romantic comedy, I believe it stands a chance to become a classic of its kind. It is funny, witty and intelligent. It is both enetertaining and inspiring at the same time, which is not very common nowadays. Apart from lots of fun, the film …
The Fisher King
I saw “The Fisher King” recently and found it was great entertainment. I’ve always been a sucker for Robin Williams craziness and this is one of the craziest. Add to that Terry Gilliam as director and one would expect a completely wacky movie good for many laughs, but not …
Chicken Little movie
When it comes to being a good family film, Chicken Little falls a little short.

Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
