As I’m sure all you Harry Potter fans know, in the fourth movie, there was a dance called the ‘Yule Ball’.
Now, I read about this in the book, but I never imagined that everything would be so pretty!
When I saw Hermione’s dress in the film, I just died!!!
It’s …

Finally, some more terminator action! It seems that Andy didn’t give up his Turk/Chess creation and is now reprogramming a prototype. Sarah decides to sit him down and spill the beans about everything but before she could do that, an unknown person (or terminator rather?) takes it from him …

This is a documentary style film by experimental french filmmaker Chris Marker. It tells the story of the forgotten soviet genius director Sergei Medvedkin, who made a whole bunch of visually stunning films in the silent era, which were all hidden away by the government as they apparently wasn’t …

I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews about the movie “Battle: Los Angeles”. I’ve read bad ones, where people say it’s one of the worst movies they’ve seen, and that it’s a waste of time and money; and I’ve read good ones, where people say it’s one of …

As I mentioned in a previous review, I’ve decided to watch some of the movies that have been nominated for awards this year both for my personal enjoyment and out of research and development because I have hopes to go into the movie industry someday. Out of the number …

Starring: Victoria Ullmann (Tara Griffen), Christian Behm (Billy), Gerald Griesbaum (Richard Morris)
It’s a bewildering movie I even watched till the end, and I still don’t understand the story.
Tara and Billy were imprisoned in a dark place called the Witch House; a mysterious voice (mechanically distorted) challenging …

I am the real movie watcher, I watch a lot. I have chosen this film because I am a huge psychological/detective movies lover. When I choose to watch that film I did not read any review, I even did not know what about it will be.
In my opinion the …

Tinker Bell is such a lovable movie that I really love to watch no matter how my friends label me as kiddish and all that. The voice of Tinker Bell was done by Mae Whitman and this storyline is quite charming, actually.
Tinker’s friends’ voice-overs are also awesome …

(Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly)
This is probably one of the most visually stunning, thought-provoking pieces of entertainment I’ve seen in over 20 years. It was directed by Alex Proyas, who also directed —˜The Crow” a few years prior. His ability to express substance through his style …

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a hidden gem of a movie. Jim Carey, in my opinion, gives the best performance of his career and funny enough, this isn’t a comedic role. Some of the movie has comedic relief, but this is in no way a …

Drop Dead Fred which came out in 1991, starring Pheobe Cates, and Rik Mayall, remains one of my favorite movies of all time. I strongly recommend that if you like comedies that you see this movie. The movie is about a woman, Lizzie, who’s husband is seeing another woman …

This is that movie about Rescue Swimmers from the US Coast Guard. From the previews I had seen earlier, I had expected it to be mostly all action - terrifying action among huge ocean waves. And the movie did start out that way. In fact, the opening scene is …

The Brothers Bloom is a story of a con gone wrong. Or in other words, a con of love. Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody star in this movie, alongside the beautiful Rachel Weisz. I always find her very beautiful and admire her beauty very much.
In this …

Nightmare Detective is part of the Dimension Extreme films and I’ve been slowly working my way through these movies a little at a time. The series is a little similar to the After Dark Horror Fest in that all the movies probably wouldn’t get much of a release without …

I enjoyed “Wrong Turn” and “Wrong Turn 2: Dead End” and was all over “Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead” upon discovering its existence. The movie exceeded my expectations since sequels usually go downhill in quality. You know a scary gorefest is going to be good when within the …

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are two of Hollywood’s finest. They are great performers who gave the world decades of wonderful performances. One of those performances was in the legendary The Odd Couple. After that, they often worked together, and each movie was a gem. This …

The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …

The first Friday the 13th movie is the one that few people remember. They forget that Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie, and they forget that Jason Vorhees was merely an afterthought. Most people completely forget that it was actually his mother who was the first killer.
Watching this movie …

Well, I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I did like his Robin Hoods Prince of Thieves movie when it first came out so I figured I would take the time to watch it again yesterday.
It still is one of the better Robin Hood movies I’ve watched but …

Perhaps the single most influential film ever made is this silent milestone by american pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith. It tells a very complex melodrama taking place during the american civil war. It’s difficult to watch a film like this through the same eyes as the people did when it …

We ended up picking up the second Madagascar movie “Escape 2 Africa” last night and wasn’t really sure what to expect. The first one was OK but not the best movie ever and we all know sequels usually don’t live up to the original.
As it turns out, the second …

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 …

As usual, I got sucked into seeing this movie since I’m such a huge fan of horror. The trailers looked intriguing (as they always do). But upon reading about this movie, I realized that it is based off of a video game. This could have made …

When I watch the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the film, considering it was made almost 3 decades ago.

This anti-western by inventive Hollywood filmmaker Nicholas Ray, tells the story of a western hero called Johnny “Guitar” Logan, who much rather plays music instead of shooting down people with guns. The storyline and narrative is daring and unusual for the time. Johnny Guitar was made in the 1950s …

The first time I even heard of the movie “Seven Psychopaths” was when I saw the trailer of it somewhere right before it was released. The biggest impression that the trailer made on me was that it didn’t seem to give away a lot of information like some, and …

While watching this film, I was thinking that someone really interested in cooking could probably enjoy it more than me, since the film it’s mostly about good food, cooking as a hobby, or cooking as a passion. It might make you want to cook, or try the recipes. However, …

There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend so my wife and I ended up watching a movie that we found on TV; Deadly Honeymoon.

I just watched HSM for the third time and it really is still entertaining to me, the characters just seem so vibrant and dedicated to their roles its great. This is another teen movie where they go out to get drunk and have sex, this is something different, …

Last evening I watched “The Dark Knight”. I had of course heard all of the hype regarding the movie.
Christian Bale was an interesting choice for this part. He did a better job as Batman than I thought he would. But I actually thought Michael Keaton made a …

I don’t watch movies often but when I do, I prefer it to be a good experience. In all my years of stay here in Botswana I have been a few times to the movie house. I must say I am impressed with the system here. It’s probably better …

I really enjoyed the Weekend at Weeki Wachee featurette which had to deal with the premier weekend for the Warner Brothers’ film, The Incredible Mr. Limpet. These type of movie shorts are fun for me. I love going behind the scenes, both to see how a production …

Whenever you try to remake a popular cartoon of the 80s or 90s into a live-action film, you run quite a few risks. And, just as often as not, many attempts at this wind up being complete disasters.
Fortunately, Alvin and the Chipmunks was not one of those films.
We’ve been …
