Austin Powers (Movie)
Let’s be honest, have you never laughed at silly things? Do we not laugh at such simple comments said in a funny way? Or by the idiot face that some of our friends display from time to time so that we laugh when we are sad? This film is …
Far Pavilions
This mini-series drew me in right away, probably because of the international aspect of the story. I like movies that offer insight into different cultures, and this is one of them. The story takes place in India, focusing on a British boy Ashton and an Indian princess Anjuli. They …
Copycat (1995)
A psychiatrist and criminal profiler has become to target of a copy cat serial killer. This serial killer does not have a mode or method for himself and that leads him to take the styles or patterns the styles rather, of various serial killers and use as his own. …
The Fall (R, 2006)
I didn’t realize that Tarsem Singh was responsible for The Cell, as he is also the director on this wonderful film. The colors are so lush and spectacular that you are automatically drawn into the story. As for the story, this is a “period” film set …
Hail, Caesar! (2016 Film)
2016 has proven to be a dull year for movies. That’s just my opinion but at this point in time last year, we already got the super amazing action flick Mad Max: Fury Road as well as the state-of-the-art thought-provoking animation flare Inside Out. This year we got an intense …
Interstellar, movie
As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Director: John Singleton. Featureing: Paul Walker, Eva Mendes, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Cole Hauser.
I really loved that movie. It is a true blockbuster, filled with all the right ingredients- the cars, the well choreographed and impossible car races, the humour, the friendship and the beautiful woman. Worth watching.
It is …
Gone with the Wind movie
I have been blessed to view the movie Gone with the Wind three times. Once, during an open-air film showing in our school. And twice after I graduated from college, where I felt fortunate to attend two showings of the film after the entire film was restored. …
Carnival of Souls movie
Carnival of Souls was directed by american independent filmmaker Herk Harvey in the 1960s, and this is the only one of his films that is still seen today, even though a directed tons of others. The plot is about a woman who is involved in a car accident, and …
Regal Cinema Stadium 12 Movie Theater
As a fan of Ice Cube and Kevin Hart films, I raced to find the nearest movie theater in the vicinity of Towson, MD. My intent was to watch the newly released film “Ride Along.” In my efforts, I was able to locate the following movie theater Regal Cinema …
Zubeida (movie), 2001
The movie Zubeida is directed by Shyam Benegal. Shyam Benegal is one of the best directors in India making realistic films and art films. Though Zubeida isn’t an art film but surely it is a realistic film. This movie releases in 2001. I watched this film at cinema hall …
Disney’s Robin Hood
Anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan of the Robin Hood legend I am. Those same people know what a huge Disney fan I am also. I should be in hog heaven then, when, along comes the marriage of both into one feature animated film.
All I can …
Batman & Robin movie
Quite honestly, I have yet to see any of the Batman movies, though I’ve seen lots of clips and stories on filming them throughout the years. I remember back in the era when this Batman & Robin movie was filmed. There were a number of media segments …
Cocktail
“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …
The Great Gatsby (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was “The Great Gatsby”. It was the most recent film adaptation of the classical novel bearing a similar name. Up to a couple minutes before I began watching it, I honestly had no idea whether or not I would enjoy …
Blood Diamonds
This is by far one of Leonardo di Caprio’s best films along with “The Departed”. I particularly liked the way “Blood Diamonds” was filmed and, as a mother of a small kid, I was very much impressed with scenes were kids were ordered to kill their enemies. I just …
Croc (2006) (movie)
Croc is a thrilling horror movie about a large, twenty-foot long killer salt-water crocodile in Thailand. I just finished watching it not long ago and it was very good. The acting was decent and the plot kept moving along at a fast pace. There were several scary moments throughout …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …
13 going 30
“13 going 30″ is one of my favourite movies of the actress, Jennifer Garner. Apart from the fact that the story is a good mix between romance, comedy and fantasy, I feel that this actress together with her on screen partner, Mark Ruffallo make such a great couple.
This movie …
Warlock movie
I found this movie a lot of fun. It seems to me a mixture of genres: a little bit fantasy with the magic, a little bit action with all the running around and a little bit horror with the bad guy killing people. The movie is well made and …
Argo (movie)
Argo is a Biography, History and Drama movie based on a true story. A story of six American Ambassadors who managed to escape from the Embassy while it was attacked by some revolutionists of Iran. The story was directed by Ben Affleck who directed one of my favourite movies …
Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …
A Map of the World (R, 1999) movie
Every once in a while you have to go back about ten years or so and find those hidden cinematic gems that you might have missed. They are not always advertised no trailers. And in many cases, the films go directly to DVD for any number of …
A Dog’s Tale movie
Last night I saw this movie ‘A Dog’s Tale’ on television. It’s kind of family movie that tells about a kid become a dog because he’s wrong wish.
Tim the main actor in here is a loser boy who always underestimated by his big big friendss, he always being played …
Twenty Bucks movie
How a twenty dollar bill travels from person to person in an american town is the whole plot of this film. A very interesting idea indeed, but it isn’t put to work in the way i would have hoped for. Instead of focusing on the characters the bill is …
Solstice (PG-13, 2007)
I really tried hard to at least give this film a chance. I liked that it was set in Louisiana. I liked that the directors chose to focus on the solstice aspect. I even resigned myself to the fact that there would be several college kids …
UHF, movie (1989)
For over 30 years, “Weird Al” Yankovic has been the biggest name of musical parody. No one was spared from his biting musical barbs, be it Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, or Coolio. His venture into feature film was brief due to box office disappointment for UHF. …
Pirahna 3D: The Movie
“Piranha 3D” was the predictable horror movie I expected it to be. It’s Spring Break, and a local small town is bombarded with sex-crazed and drunken college students at their lake. The main character, Jake, is the son of the local sheriff. She asks him to …
Zack and Miri make a porno Movie
I just recently finished watching this comedy movie on DVD player. Firstly, I should say that there are only few bits that I really find very funny. I was disappointed though because I was expecting that there could be lots of hilarious stuff. But I think …
Runaway Bride
Runaway Bride is a romantic comedy movie starring the lead actors of super hit movie, Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Pretty Woman is a great movie and I love it like anything. That is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it …
Wall-E Movie Bluray
I am doing a review of the movie Wall-E in Bluray format.
Here are just a few things that I really loved about this movie that I think make it worth getting:
First off is the cool visual effects that they did for the ships rocketing off, ect. I believe that …
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 …
Creature from the Black Lagoon
I absolutely love old black and white horror flicks and, because of this, think Creature from the Black Lagoon is an often-overlooked classic.
Filmed in 1954, the movie focuses on a group of scientists who are terrorized by a creature that is half-man, half fish and possibly the missing link …
X-Men: Apocalypse 2016 Superhero Movie
I read and heard a lot of bad reviews about the new X-Men: Apocalypse movie. This was from both dissatisfied movie goers and fans of the comic, thus I just wrote it off as a bad movie initially and put it out of my head. However, when someone I knew …
Cats movie
The classic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, originally based on a novel by T.S. Eliot, here transferred to the cinema.
I think it was a very colorful thing to look at, and some of the songs are unforgettable, but overall I think this felt more like a filmed musical stage …
Movie: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
I recently saw the classic movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” for the first time. I can now understand why it’s a classic. The deeply disturbing story with its tragic, haunting twist ending has lingered in my mind days after watching it.
My husband picked the movie out for …
The Deer Hunter
The Deer Hunter is a 1978 war film directed by Micheal Camino, the film stars Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep. The name The Deer Hunter comes from the fact that before the movie Robert De Niro’s character Micheal likes to hunt, and takes his friends, he …
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
I have always been a huge fan of vampire movies, but I have to say that Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” is the most bizarre vampire movie I have ever seen. There is a lot of great talent in this movie - including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette …
In The Heat of The Night movie
Directed by Norman Jewison and Academy Award winner for best picture and best actor Rod Steiger. This film can really teach us the lesson of racism in our country. Set in the small town of Sparta, Mississippi in 1967. The film opens with a blues song “In The Heat …
I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
Transformers, Michael Bay Movie
The start of the prologue: before the world created, is a cube Allspark by the worst people Robot. Robot nation eventually split, there are good and they call themselves Autobots under the leadership Optimus Prime while the insurgents known by the name Decepticon under the leadership Megatron, who’s all …
Open Road movie
I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …
Tales From the Hood-movie
Tales from the hood is a horror/anthology film with african american centered stories.The stories deal with daily issues of blacks with a horror theme.The main plot has to do with three drugdealers who go to a funeral home to purchase drugs from the funeral director mr. simms.Mr. …
Sex And Breakfast
Sex And Breakfast is a comedy film that was released in 2007. Or should I say that Sex And Breakfast is supposed to be a comedy? There were some funny moments in the film, but mostly when awkward things happened, but I would not call this movie a true …
Megafault movie
In honor of the late Brittany Murphy, my wife and I took the time to watch some of her movies that were available through Netflix Instant Watch; mostly because I didn’t want to bother sending for DVDs and waiting for them through the mail.
One of these movies was entitled …
The Cat From Outer Space
There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …
The Holiday movie
I watched this movie about an year ago and fall in love with it. It’s basically a story about two women, one Amanda (Cameron Diaz) a successful american and Iris( Kate Winslet) a british chick. Both have failed in finding the right men and accidently they meet and exchange …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
I’m a fan of Dreamworks and having enjoyed the first adventures of the four animal New Yorkers, I couldn’t wait to watch this one. This time, the gang is on their way back to New York but along the way they encountered technical problems with their plane and crashed …
