Back to the Future Part 2
I found the movie “Back to the FUture Part 2″ just as exciting as its prequel “Back to the FUture Part 1″. Nevertheless, I am not sure if it got the same amount of attention as the first one did. It stars some of the same actors and actresses …
Dave Chappelle: Killin’ Them Softly
Comedian Dave Chappelle performs his stand up routine in his hometown of Washington D.C. Most people know Chappelle from his popular television show called “Chappelle’s Show.” This DVD is an one full hour of pure gold. His stand up routine is the funniest that I have ever seen.
His stand …
You can count on me movie

The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …
Dil Chahta Hai movie
Casting:
Amir Khan - Preethi Jinta
Akshay Khanna- Dimple Kapadia,

Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …
Werewolves, Vampires and Zombies dvd
I like some of the classic horror movies, so when I got this dvd from someone I was expecting more of a few of those from the nineteen thirties, forties and sixties. However, when I looked on it I realised that a lot of them were old horror movies, …

Notting Hill
I’m really a big fan of romantic drama. And one of my lifetime favorites is Notting Hill. I don’t know why. I just found that simple beautiful. The storyline is just perfect. The on-off of the two main characters is just brilliant. Drama used to have the same …

It is about a couple having a baby, but there really baby dies, so without the wife knowing they adopt another baby. The baby turns out to be the devils son. The husband needs to kill the boy before things get even worse …
Memoirs of a geisha
If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” is set in 1930’s …
Wilde movie
A film about the controversial english author and poet Oscar Wilde who had to flee his home country when he openly declared himself as a homosexual. Stephen Fry is absolutely perfect as the exceedingly clever Wilde, and the rest of the cast is also impressive, especially Jude Law. One …

Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait movie
Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait opens at the basset hound club. I’m laughing and having a good time already. They showed a lot of the different competitions during the opening credits. The dress up category had prisoner bassets, Sherlock Holmes bassets, and flamingo bassets. What a …

Another DVD movie that I have watched would be Let’s Go To Prison. This movie stars Dax Shepard, a career criminal. This movie is about his revenge on a judge that has put him away to jail. His revenge is because of the fact that he …

Return of the Blind Dead, movie (1973)
I first came across Tombs of the Blind Dead unintentionally. I stumbled across it while looking through Netflix. Hearing good things about it, I watched it and I loved it. A few years later, I had a chance to see the sequel. As much as …
Twilight
OK, either I’m starting to get really old or the movie Twilight wasn’t anything that lived up to all the hype and the obsession the fans are giving it. I watched it last night and thought it was the longest, most boring vampire film I’ve ever seen. And, believe …
Bond 007
Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.
They all have distinct portrayal of “Mr. Bond” with respect to their screen personality. But good thing, despite their individuality, they …

The Empire Strikes Back
The second in the original star wars triogly was the Empire Strikes back. this movie in my opinion was a bridge between the first installment the Star Wars, and the third movie of the trioplogy the Return of the Jedi.
Again we meet Luke as he is a …
Ready to Rumble movie
Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …
Cow Belles
If you’re looking for a good movie that gives you a plot that’s a little different than the other movies you’ve seen then Disney’s movie “Cow Belles” is one you’ll want to avoid.
After finally getting to see the entire film, I can say it is good. But, it’s nothing …
Natural Born Killers (1994 black comedy thriller movie)
Natural Born Killers was one of those movies that I kept hearing about, but I never got to see. Therefore, recently I made it my duty to get it so I could finally know what it was that I had missed. While I have to admit that the movie did …
Bullet Boy (R, 2004)
You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …
Dodgeball movie
Comedy about a team of nerds who decide to team up in a dodgeball competition and defeat their rivals. That’s the whole plot of this film so it doesn’t really leave a lot of room for thought. The humor is of a kind that don’t appeal to me at …
The Movie “The Freedom Writers”
I had the opportunity to see this movie for the first time a few years ago while in college. My teacher for my education classes had a view of herself as a similiar teacher and we watched this movie one day when she forgot her lesson books.
This was …
The Getaway (1994)

Horton Hears a Who
Ok, after seeing other Dr. Seuss books turned into movies with mixed results, I had my doubts about Horton Hears a Who. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I was very impressed.
I had expected the movie, which is about an elephant who discovers and protects …

I watched this movie on lifetime the other night. Overall it was pretty good but there were a couple of parts that I wish they would have done differently. For instance, there was one part that showed a girl trying to suffocate another girl but they never reveal if …

The Way We Were movie
The Way We Were is a classic motion picture. It’s a love story with a questionable ending. It’s romantic and tragic. It’s wonderful. The movie stars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, and boy do they sizzle together. It’s not an easy relationship, but the …
Movie : Haeckel’s Tale
Haeckel’s Tale is yet another one hour short film from the Showtime Series Masters of Horror. Directed by John McNaughton I would say its definitely the weakest entry from the first season of the show and in the bottom five of both seasons of the show. John …
Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All movie
From 1989, Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All stars Stacy Keach in the title role of the famous private eye created by Mickey Spillane. This is somewhat of a weird plot that has Mike Hammer being transported covertly to Las Vegas. One thing leads to another and Hammer …
Lover Come Back movie
Doris Day and Rock Hudson team up again for Lover Come Back from 1961. It’s a really fun and daffy romantic comedy that I enjoy a lot, though Pillow Talk is my favorite of their three motion pictures together.
In Lover Come Back, both Day and Hudson play ad …
Ridgmar Movie Tavern
While searching the internet one day to see if there were cheaper movie theatres in my city that I didn’t know about. I came upon Ridgmar Movie Tavern. I had seen this place and drove by it many times but had never went in.
I decided to give Ridgmar …
Right at Your Door Movie
Right at Your Door is a thinking person’s movie, meaning that you can’t just kick back and watch the movie while you do the laundry, play with the kids, or give the dog a bath. You could, but I doubt it would have the same effect on you that …
