Kingdom of Heaven movie
There is something definitely charming about the Kingdom of Heaven movie. Not only is it a wonderful epic movie, but there is a sense of real movie magic and silent dignity hidden somewhere in the lines. It does not set out to be a righteous movie with great ideas …
Dominique movie
In 1978, there was a movie produced called Dominique. Unlike the bouncing tune made famous in The Singing Nun, this Dominique is deadly serious. In fact, it’s essentially a murder mystery.
Everything in this piece is very slow and deliberate. As a viewer, it’s easy to draw …

Begotten movie
An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …
Movie Death Race
A movie I just finished watching about three minutes before I decided to write a review about, Death Race was quite a well executed watch.

Perry Mason: The Case of the Reckless Romeo movie
Perry Mason: The Case of the Reckless Romeo is notable because at the time of filming the main guest star, Tracy Nelson, was married to regular William R. Moses, who played Ken Malansky. They made a nice pair while they were married, and it was fun to see …
Doubt (PG13, 2008)
I have been skipping over Doubt on my Netflix list, because quite frankly, I couldn’t tell what the movie was about. And when I looked at the synopsis, I couldn’t really get a grip on the gist of the film. It seemed like some kind of …
How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010) Animated
I have always loved animated movies. I have heard of this movie How to Train Your Dragon and it actually was on IMAX theatres because it was 3D. I did not see it in 3D but it is alright because I am not really keen on watching it like …
The Incredible Hulk (2008 version)

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (movie)
There are some movie that just don’t interest me either because of what I’ve seen in the trailer and the reviews I’ve read about them make them seem ridiculous or something just doesn’t rub me right about them. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was one of those movies. When it …

Film: American Gangster
American Gangster…..a good movie. Unfortunatley thats all it is, and all it ever will be. In the Pantheon of Great Gangster Films, this should have been its most recent entry. Instead it falls into the Pantheon of Films that Need A Little More Work. I was so let down …
The Giver (science fiction movie)
I actually saw the trailer for the movie “The Giver” by accident, but somehow I forgot about it, because a few other things that were released around the same period of time seemed to overshadow it. However, by the time that it got on Blu-ray, I remembered enough about it …

The Patriot Movie
The patriot is one of the best movies that I ever watch. This movie is based on the struggle of poor Americans against the mighty British Empire. The struggle was a success and hence it makes the movie a must see to learn the art of impeccable planning.
The first …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I love movies! Especially movies about spies! They’re so action packed, so cool and the spies themselves are so hot! Well most of them are. That was my first impression when I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s trailer for the first time. I was totally blown away!
The plot is …

Wedding Crashers movie
I’ve been getting a little burnt out on Owen Wilson comedies so I didn’t know what to think when I finally watched Wedding Crashers for the first time. It was hillarious.
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn make a great team, pretending to be related to the wedding parties so they …
Death of a Ghost Hunter: movie
Death of a Goes Hunter is a low-budget horror movie. Like most low-budget horror movies, it suffers from some flaws. The acting is not that good, the camera work is sloppy, and the whole thing has an unprofessional feel. However, despite these flaws, I really enjoyed …
Spread the Movie
This is most definitely not a romance movie. This movie is essentially the story of a young guy living in LA and getting by on his looks alone, until he finds love i guess. Ashton is essentially plays a pool boy role minus the pool. And Anne is the …
Open the Door Richard movie short
I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
I just don’t know what to say, or should I …

The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

Twilight
Well the movie Twilight was…”ok”. The acting was decent and the story was intersting, however, not everyone will like it. I enjoyed watching it, but thought some parts were rather silly. It is very much a romance movie and a chick flick. Though it does have a few action …
Tomorrow Never Dies movie
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 …

Krazzy 4 is the movie that recently hit the Bollywood Box Office and was quite impressive. It is the movie which features joy, grief, comedy, social awareness and even to some extent, patriotism. It has a very good picturization with absolute no vulgarity and is suitable for watching with …
Movie The Illusionist

300 Movie
Intense action and extreme fighting scenarios of this movie had me repeatedly saying my favorite exclamation phrases. The movie 300 DID bring the Spartans to their greatest glory! Knowing that this had happened in real life thousands of years ago (based on what I have read) added my fascination …
Indiscretion of an American Wife movie
I’ve never seen the movie Indiscretion of an American Wife until this week. The movie is from 1953, and it’s in black and white. It stars Jennifer Jones as Mary Forbes, a married woman with a child, who is in Rome, visiting family.
The movie also stars Montgomery …
Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.
Black does the voice of Po, a worker in a noodle restaurant who aspires to be a Kung fu master and, through a series of …
Film “The Attic”
I just watched the attic last night on Hulu. It was an ok film for something made at the low budget level. I’m not sure but I would guess this was either a straight to video or a tv release based on the production values. I …
The Mechanic Movie (2011)
I watched the Mechanic yesterday and I really loved it. Just like other Jason Statham movies, it really delivers: it is action packed, easy to watch, exciting, really keeping you on the edge of your seat.
What was unusual, and what I really liked about this movie, unlike …
Rose Red, movie directed by Stephen King

The plot tells of a teacher …
