Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 41 has Ed and Miles trying to stall Kimblee so Winry and the others can get away while May and Dr. Marcoh try to decipher Scar’s brother’s research notes on Alkahestry and Alchemy.

Days of Darkness
Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …

Old School (2003)
I trust that a lot of people have seen this movie and what is worse than just seeing it, you have happened to come across it on the cable networks every now and again, it is my opinion, that whether you see this movie once or on multiple occasions, …
Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …
The Lion King
I love everything about this movie. It was very funny. The animation was fantastic.
I first watched this in the theatre when I was in college. It was in the year 1994 when ‘The Lion King’ was in every movie house around the metropolis.
Of course the magnificence …

The 2010 film “Love and Other Drugs” staring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, was not only funny but very heart warming and the perfect film to see if you are looking for comedy, romance, and great acting that will make you want to cry, laugh, sigh or all three.
Jake …
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)
This film is one in a series of horror movies directed by different individuals. I have realized that after a period of time, these films are more like “Tales from the Darkside” episodes, only with more gore, sex and violence. At any rate, this episode: Cigarette Burns …

I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …
Cut Off movie
My wife and I picked up the movie Cut Off this past weekend and didn’t really know what to expect from it. It looked somewhat decent from the description on the back. But, as I told my wife, it also looked as though it could end up being some …
Nim’s Island (2008) Movie
The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …

The story takes place in the last century London. Two talented stage magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) become rivals, competitors, and eventually enemies.

Get Smart movie
For the past month or so I’ve seen previews on TV for the movie Get Smart. It didn’t look that great to me, I figured it may be worth getting on Netflix when it comes out on DVD, but that was all. Certainly not worth seeing in …

There Will be Blood is tells the story of all of the things, good and bad, that come with power. This power stemming mainly from one product, oil. Daniel Day Lewis is absolutely electrifying in his role as the prospector and main character. He is deserved …
Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …

Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)
Ok so I rented another Hellraiser hoping that it would be somewhat related to what the original movie was about. Unfortunately it wasn’t, but oddly enough it did keep my interest enough to not fast forward through.
The plot centers around Chelsea, Mike, Allison, and Derrick who …
Mean Girls
Ugh. I hate the title for this movie even more than I hate the movie itself. And what surprises me is the amount of parents that let their kids watch something with the title ‘Mean Girls’. It’s not such an awful movie; I guess. It’s your typical high school …
Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest

Picnic At Hanging Rock came to me in an unexpected way. I saw it on the Independent Film Channel and while it was a little weird, I knew I had to see Picnic At Hanging Rock again. The film is made in Australia, and I have not seen many …

Wedding Crashers Movie
I recently watched the movie The Wedding Crashers with Vince Vaughan, Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. It was a hilariouss storyline with parts that everyone can relate to but still with a few bizarre twists.
Two men are marriage counsellors or divorce lawyers or something along those lines. They are …
Jerry Maguire
I watched the movie Jerry Maguire for about the third or fourth time last night and have to say, while a good movie, it could have been much better.
I liked the idea of a movie that focuses on the part of professional sports most films barely even mention; sports …
The city in the movies of 3 directors
The 3 Directors:
Bimal Roy - Kabuliwala

Wyatt Earp movie
When it comes to Westerns, this movie has to be one of the best ones to ever be released.

Annabelle (2014) - Spin-off of ‘The Conjuring’
For me, most horror movies that have been produced in the last decade have merely used rehashed cliches and the same formulas to create what often turns out to be a subpar movie. The story doesn’t flow often and cheap tactics are used to incite fear. ‘Annabelle’ is another one …
Movie Review: The Ladykillers (2004)
I have just rented “The Ladykillers” 2004, starring Tom Hanks, from our local library and we’ve had a fun evening watching this hilarious comedy. However, I could do with less profanity; hearing the f-word all throughout the movie was rather annoying.
The story is about a gang of criminals lead …
X-men Origins: Wolverine

Tangled : A Hairy Tale
Disney movies are always a dose of freshness and Tangled goes much beyond that. It is one of the best animated movies from Disney so far. Though the story of the movie has the well known fairy tale “Rapunzel” as its baseline, yet it provides a captivating story line …
