Avatar: Movie
I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …

Insidious Chapter 2 (Film 2013)

Of all the black and white films, this one is the best. In fact, many people consider Casablanca the best film of all time, and for a good reason. I myself can agree to this. The dialogue alone is so crisp, and no doubt about it, …

The movie James Bond Casino Royale is the best Bond movie I have seen. The action is amazing, but it also has an engaging, exciting plot. The action is shot and acted in a way that you really feel scared for the characters. It is never …

Maid in Manhattan
I saw the movie Maid in Manhattan again last night and, even though Jennifer Lopez does a somewhat decent job in it, I’m still not overly impressed with it.
The movie reminds me a bit too much of about a dozen other films I’ve seen. Lopez plays a cleaning lady …

“Road House” stars Patrick Swayze as the philosophical cooler, “Dalton.” The movie has a strong cult following and has now been released in a deluxe edition with all kinds of special features. While it’s always wonderful to stock up on “Dalton’s” guide for Zen-like living, the extras in …

The Professional: Movie
The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
First of all, the acting is excellent. The assassin Leon …
Movie Juno
This movie is about Juno, a teenage girl who found herself pregnant and trying to find means and ways to look for a father to adopt her baby when she gives birth. I love the acting of actress Ellen Page and if you want to have a clue …

When the movie “Catch Me if You Can” came out in 2002, I was really excited to see it because it starred Leonardo DiCaprio. When I saw the preview of this film, I immediately thought that this was good.
This movie depicts the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. …
The 2008 Comedy/Horror Teeth
A friend told me about this movie one Saturday and all but forced me to watch it. To tell the truth, at first I thought the movie was going to be silly, and just another b-movie since the plot alone sounded ridiculous to me. Either way, I tried it …
Thirteen Ghosts (movie)
I don’t know about you all but I enjoy the series called Mr Monk on cable. Before Mr Monk came on the TV, the star of the show was in a movie called Thirteen Ghosts.
Although this movie would never win an academy award, it was interesting …
Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …
The Hangover
I was expecting big things when I rented The Hangover on DVD; I expected, given the trailers and my friends’ views, that I would be laughing uproariously the entire time. However, although there were some funny and witty moments, I was disappointed. It had good moments, when I did …
Mamma Mia! Movie (2008)

When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …
13 Ghosts (movie)
13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until…yeah, that’s the clencher…until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here …
Ice Age: The Meltdown
Watching Ice Age was fairly decent. Ice Age: The Meltdown wasn’t so great. It was somewhat humorous with Queen Latifah’s character, but it wasn’t that great of a movie. The plot lacked depth and the ending was simple. It was a decent children’s movie, but it certainly wasn’t that …
Monsters Inc. movie
I had a copy of this at home however I didn’t bother watching it at first since I really don’t like the title Monsters Inc. I thought it was one of those boring gruesome monsters stories I often see on television. One time I had nothing to do except …
Movie: “Risky Business”
Tom Cruise had his big break in “Risky Business” back in 1983, and I could see why: the movie is the ultimate coming-of-age story, with all the expect twists and turns.
Cruise plays awkward teenager Joel, who longs to be cool - he dreams of sex, money, and popularity. When …
Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I received the DVD Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Christmas. I liked both the movies before it, and I missed seeing Dawn of the Dinosaurs in the theaters, so I wanted to see it on DVD. The movie is a continuation of the last two …
Spring Breakdown

It turned out to have neither …
Kentucky Fried Movie
I was a teenager when I first saw the Kentucky Fried Movie and I remember thinking how it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.

The whole concept of …

Transformers: Age of extinction (2014)
Finally, in midst of all its criticism, I watched Transformers: Age of Extinction. It is nothing but a visual bombardment from Michael Bay, with a poor script. It starred Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor.
“Is it really Michael Bay ? “, ” He did it again.”, “What was …
Marie and Bruce
Marie and Bruce is the most boring movie I have seen these days and I literally got a head ache after watching this movie. The film has nothing in it. The most important thing for a film is the story which is not there atleast a bit in this …
