Movies Reviews
Movie Gamer
I don’t even remember how and why I started watching this movie. We were there at the cinema and just chose that movie without thinking too much.
It was one of those movies that don’t leave any special impression on you. It is about this society where everyone lives as …
Mother Hubbard Case
I am reviewing The Mother Hubbard Case, 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, stars as …
The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …
Secretariat movie
Secretariat stars Diane Lane and John Malkovich as well as several other actors and actresses. It is a Disney movie about the great racehorse Secretariat, and the people who stood behind him and trained him to win the Triple Crown and become one of the most famous racehorses ever …

Intimate Strangers (R, 2004)
You have to be one of those people who really likes foreign cinema to truly enjoy and appreciate this film. Set in France, a woman seeking therapy for her troubled marriage ends up at a tax analyst’s office by mistake. Before the analyst can divulge that …
Sin City Spoke To My Soul
It’s rare that I watch a movie and actually develop an opinion about it or respond emotionally to it. Well, I saw Sin City a few days ago and I am totally ambivalent towards it. I’ll say right now that it gets a 5, and here’s why: …
I,Robot-Will Smith
We all know Will Smith from the comedic roles that he usually plays. I had never really seen him in too many serious roles. I am already a huge fan of sci-fi fantasies and this one was right up my alley. I loved the special effects and the plot …
Wait Until Dark: A Film by Terence Young, 1967
For most of Audrey Hepburn’s onscreen career, romantic films helped to greatly define her image as a beguiling female lead. It is why I feel a strong interest in seeing her other exclusive portrayals outside that “frivolous bubble,” yet all the while entertaining, of girl-falls-in-love flicks; I want …
The Hills Have Eyes Movie
I have seen The Hills Have Eyes, both the original and the remake. After watching the original, it made me wonder why anyone would decide to remake it. Not because the movie is so great, but because it isn’t very good. Going into the remake, I didn’t think I …
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
For the first time in my life, I have never watched a movie that is so depressing. I had never gotten over it until after a day when I’ve watched it. I really felt for the old men in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross which was filmed …
Dumbo
Dumbo is a timeless animation classic. This movie will forever live in the hearts of those who saw it. I think that the story of the tiny elephant with big ears was very cute and very sad as well. I was very happy as a kid when I saw this …
Movie Leon
In Leon (The Professional), the movie, is the first time that I ever saw Natalie Portman in a movie, and she was pretty young back then. Being young did not seem to faze this great actress, however, as she played the part of Mathilda beautifully. Not only does …
We Are Marshall
I held off watching the movie We Are Marshall until I could see it for free on a movie channel. The reason for this is I expected it to be yet another sports movie filled with plenty of clichés and not much else.
I was right on the first part. …
By the sea Movie
A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998)
You will not have to worry about entertaining the little ones while watching this movie as, similar to that of a cartoon, this movie will have them pinned down for a good while watching utter rubbish as the usually watch on a daily basis. Do not worry about trying …
Wolverine the Movie
Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.
This first installement of I’m guessing all the X-men members origin is a very effective appetizer to X-men fans out there.
The arrogant and lonely Logan, …
The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …
Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen Movie
Midnight in Paris is a romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen. He is a very controversial character that has given us many motion pictures, some good ones but also some really odd. I never know what to expect from Woody Allen but I try to watch every …

Movie The Game Plan
If any of you like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, then you have probably seen “The Game Plan”. My husband loves the Rock and watches all of his movies. I think he’s an ok actor, but I really think he did a good job in the movie “The …

The Fast and the Furious 4
Today I just watch the new movie Fast and Furious 4 in theatre. It’s the sequel of the previous movie Fast and Furious 1,2, and 3. The story is not so different with the previous movie, it’s about catching the bud guy and always involved racing car on it.
In …
Movie The Sure Thing
I admit I really enjoy watching John Cusack’s movies. He manages to be great in whatever character he interprets. “The Sure Thing” represents one of his early movies so one gets to see Cusack in much younger version together with cute actress, Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Place” TV series.
“The …
My Life movie
Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman plays the young couple desperate to have a baby together. When it finally is going to happen, the husband finds out he’s diagnosed with cancer and their whole world breaks apart. A typical overly sentimental film, that is so boring to watch because of …
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 …

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
Journey to the Center of the Earth was fantastic. This movie is 3D. You are given 3D glasses upon purchasing your ticket. As for the movie, it was quite good. The 3D effects are used well. I believe that they could’ve been used even more than they were, but …
Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …
Pollock movie
Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …
Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …
The Phantom (Movie)
The Phantom is a movie that stands out in my mind as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sadly though my memories never actually live up to the real movie. Every few years I re-watch the movie, and every time I end up feeling a …
Noel
I must say that I am confused when I watched Noel, the DVD movie. Luckily, I caught this on DVD instead of going to the movies for it. Starring Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and some other casts, this movie is about miracles and that …
Happy Feet
I’ve seen many movies that’s totally hilarious, but ‘Happy Feet reminds me of the old cartoons like ‘Tom and Jerry. I’ve been considered to be the most humorous guy who love to make people wet their pants and for that movie to really move me and to use it …
Film Watchmen
I saw ‘Watchmen’ at a local IMAX theatre and the film really scores a 100% rating for presentation. It’s slick, glossy and packed with imaginative set pieces and special effects. The story on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I never read the graphic novel by …
George Lucas in Love Movie
A mixture of romance, documentary and comedy about a young George Lucas finding his inspiration to the Star Wars films. As the Star Wars fan I am, it was very interesting to see how George might have been inspired by different characters in his own life and putting them …
The Hurt Locker
I had been encouraged to watch this year’s Oscar winning movie, “The Hurt Locker”, for a few months before I finally sat down and put the film on. While I don’t usually like war movies, I thought that this particular production might be worth a few hours of my …
The Rescuers
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Rescuers. Now, Disney has had some pretty interesting Disney characters in the past, but it is a rarity to find mice as the main characters. In the Rescuers, that is the case. There is a group of mice known as …
Atonement movie
“Atonement” is a 2007 production from Working Title films filmed in color in England and France. The 130 minute English language movie that was filmed in studios and on locations throughout England. The movie is based on the novel by Ian McEwan.
I really liked this movie and was …
Lars and the Real Girl Movie (2007)
After watching Lars and the Real Girl I am proven once more that you cannot judge a movie by its plot description. When I read that the movie is about a lonely man who develops a deep and romantic relationship with a doll he orders only, my reaction …
Love Actually movie
I normally hate watching romance films, but since my friend fooled me that the actor Orlando Bloom was in the movie I ended up watching the movie to the end and feeling very annoyed and disappointed after as he obviously never appeared. The only thing which comforted me a …
