50 First Dates
Adam Sandler is thoroughly charming in the movie date, 50 First Dates. I caught this on DVD and in fact, I have done that lots of times. I always do not fail to laugh whenever I watch 50 First Dates, and the side-kick heroine in this laughable romantic …

Mama (supernatural horror movie)
“Mama” might was not a very good or frightening horror movie. In actuality I actually thought that it came off as quite boring, predictable and cliche at times. I am one of Guillermo del Toro’s fans and I expected a lot more from a movie associated with him even …

Ghoulies II movie
Because we had rented the first Ghoulies movie this weekend, my wife and I decided we should watch the second one too. And, we did, despite the fact we hated the first movie.
The sequel is surprisingly better than the first one. But, that really shouldn’t be saying much because …
Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
The original film from the 1950s is about a man who returns to his home town after many years and discovers the people there have been possessed by aliens, or is it just him going insane and imagining everything?
Well, the film begins with this man coming to a hospital, …
Taken Movie
I watched Taken for how many times now and this movie never fails to give me excitement. It stars Liam Neeson as the father of a girl that was kidnapped in Paris by Albanians. The story not only pure action and little drama, it also gives lesson for other …
Movie 50 First Dates
I decided to buy the movie “50 First Dates”, after watching the trailer and seemed to be interesting; however in the end I was very disappointed due to the fact that this movie must represent the worst interpretation from actors, Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymore.
“50 First Dates” includes some …

The Contract movie
This movie was very interesting and exciting. It was a little bit long though but it kept me interested in it. It started off very nicely and went straight into the movie. It was towards the middle and end that I felt it dragged on a little bit. It …
The movie Deadgirl
Deadgirl is a little known movie that was released in 2009. It tells a very dark and horrific story, but manages to do so without too much gore. Still, the movie would only be good for a mature audience. The plot revolves around two high school …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse, apocalyptic fiction action horror film
How can I write a review on a movie like this? Resident Evil: Apocalypse almost single handedly ruined the Resident Evil movie franchise. The plot was beyond terrible and the acting was laughable. Milla Jovovich was still looking just as good in this movie, but she couldn’t even save …
Alice In Wonderland (2010 Version)
Alice In Wonderland, Tim Burton’s remake of the classic Disney film actually goes in quite a different direction than what I expected. Obviously with Burton, there’s going to be quite a few twists to the movie and overall sort of a dark or gothic type mood to it and …

27 Dresses (2008)
Here we go again, yet another dull, boring and dreary chick flick to torture the living daylights out of you and leave you wondering why the hell do developers keep putting such utter rubbish on the silver screen, but worst, why do people pay good money to go and …
Forrest Gump
I was watching the movie Forrest Gump again for probably the third or fourth time. While not quite as good as I remember it when I originally saw it, I still think this has to be one of Tom Hanks better pictures.
The great thing about this movie is you …

13 Assassins (2010) - Movie

Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …

Stalker movie
Tarkovsky’s great masterpiece about three men going on a journey through “the zone”, which is a restricted area where the deepest wish of every man becomes reality.
Tarkovsky’s imagery is completely breathtaking and holds no resemblance to anything else. He’s totally unique in his artistry and is perhaps the closest …
Harry potter
Harry potter is the movie, which my 3 years old son has liked a lot. I had been to the theatre with my little son and my husband 2 weeks back. The action in the movie is very good and the comedy is excellent. The costume …
Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is a very good movie from the year 1989. I remember watching this movie as a kid, and liking it a lot. This movie is filled with magic and romance. All the good stuff that makes you think life is great as a kid. The music in …

The Babadook - Horror Movie (2014)
There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …

The happening movie
The happening was a pretty good movie. It’s about something happening in parts of the world where it makes people do weird things and eventually kill themselves. I thought it was well directed because it will let you know what is happening but yet it is not gory at …
Detachment (drama movie)
The film Detachment is a little different from the dramas that I’m used to watching, and this is why I liked it so much. It is its raw and gritty nature that attracts me to it, and the fact that it does nothing to conceal certain elements that are bordering …
The Skeleton Key
“The Skeleton Key” was the first movie that was not a romance comedy which I had the pleasure of seeing Kate Hudson in. I hate romance comedies, and so seeing her in another movie which was not a romance comedy, especially a horror movie, was very refreshing to me. …

Danika (R, 2006)
