Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street
When it comes to classic horror movies, I can’t imagine making a list of the best without including A Nightmare On Elm Street. Wes Craven gave audiences a whole new kind of killer when he unleashed the charred murderer into the dreams of teens in the mid eighties. …
Soul Plane (2004)
Bad times fall on an unsuspecting victim and in addition to his humility, he also loses his dog when it got sucked out of the plane and through the plane engine death instantly. He sues the airline and is awarded a grand amount of money. This he took and …
Striptease Movie
I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …
Movie UP
I am reviewing the 2009 Disney movie, UP. This movie was directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, and was written by Bob Peterson and Pete Docter. This movie starred the voices of Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer (as Charles Muntz), and Jordan Nagai (as Russell).
In this movie, Charles Muntz …
Hidalgo (2004)
I tried to watch this movie so many times before and it just didn’t appeal to me in any way, shape or form, but that was until I had nothing else to watch on cable one night and it was on, so I decided to give it a try …
The Mother (2003)
“The Mother” will be a shock to people under the age of thirty who can’t imagine their parents having sex at all much less have casual sex and enjoying it. The 112-minute UK film tells about May, a woman in her late fifties or sixties, and Toots, her husband …
All Dogs Go to Heaven
I was looking for movies my daughter can watch during the afternoons between the time she gets home from school and when my wife and I want the TV. One of those movies was All Dogs Go to Heaven.
It had been a while since I saw the movie so …
Cheaper By The Dozen 2 Movie
This is the second movie that came out after the first. Cheaper By The Dozen 2 is better than the first. I couldn’t stop laughing. Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt once again play the Bakers and get themselves and their twelve kids into a ton of trouble when they …
The Medallion (2003)
Is it me, or is it a case that of late, every single movie that Jackie Chan stars in, he plays the role of a police officer or some other enforcement officer that happens to get caught on the wrong side of the law. I do not think it’s …
Neurotic Detective
I am reviewing The Case of the Neurotic Detective, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Hanging up movie
Hanging up is a very normal movie which has nothing unique about it. The only saving grace of the movie is Meg Ryan’s impeccable performance. She single handedly did everything and the whole movie rests on her shoulders and she did a great job in doing that job perfectly. …
Shes the Man
I admit I watched this one after missing Channing Tatum. I don’t know if this is his second movie after Step Up however this was the movie that I see two of my favorite hunk Channing Tatum and Robert Hoffman. Ironically, after this movie, Robert Hoffman starred in second …
ZA: Zombies Anonymous
OK, I’m a fan of Zombie movies, that’s no secret. So, I decided to give ZA: Zombies Anonymous a try just for the heck of it.
I’m going to give this movie some points for originality. Most zombies in movies like this are mindless beings who only want to kill …
Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)
Eddie Murphy at his craft again, playing multiple characters like only he can. In this movie he plays a vampire who comes looking for love and finds it in the eyes of Angella Bassett, but, she isn’t having it, as a police officer she is sworn to uphold the …
Inglorious Basterds
“Let me give you something you wont be able to take off.” A memorable quote from the movie Inglorious basterds. A group of american soldiers named the inglorious basterds who are notorious for killing mass numbers of nazis in brutal ways, sets out to kill hitler once and for …
The Year Punk Broke 1991 movie
A music documentary about the private lives of the members of Sonic Youth and partly Nirvana during their tour in 1991. I would consider it a fans-only kind of film, but as I used to be a big fan of both these bands I found it very interesting. To …
Wilderness (R, 2006) movie
If you think that this is going to be just another of those teen slasher flicks–you’re sadly mistaken. This film is ruddy, rugged, brutal, and suspenseful, all the to credit of the director, effects artists, and good actors. In reading the opening credits, I realized that …
Star Trek (2009, J.J. Abrams)
First off let me get one thing quite clear: I’m not a Trekkie. I AM a self-confessed sci-fi geek but have just never been into Star Trek.
I like the borg, an inspired concept. The Enterprise looks cool. Scotty was amusing and Spock was Spocky. But that’s about it. I …
Sweeney Todd
My wife dragged me to see this one. I didn’t know what to expect other than few of my favourite actors namely Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman. Also it is directed by Tim Burton and I quite like the collaboration between Tim Burton …
Duplex movie
I must admit that “Duplex” is definitely one of my Ben Stiller’s favourite movies, even though it was a cinema flop. I believe that Ben Stiller and the actress, Drew Barrymore make a great on screen couple and you simply cannot watch this movie and end up not having …
Movie The Strangers
I just rented and watched the movie the strangers today and it was pretty good. I am not going to say it was a 10 because there were parts of the movie that I felt like “I wish it would hurry up and end”. At the same time …
Pulp Fiction movie
When Pulp Fiction was released, I had not seen a good movie like this in a while. Pulp Fiction held my attention from the moment the movie started and I waited with my breath held to see what would happen next until the end of the movie. John Travolta …
Sorority Row Motion Picture
I watched sorority row last night for the first time. I am a fan of horror movies and watch one at least once a week. This movie was fine. It was not the best or the worst movie I’ve seen in awhile. It …
Wrath of the Titans (2012 movie)
I just recently saw the movie Wrath of the Titans. It is the sequel to the previous Greek mythology-based movie about Perseus which was entitled Clash of the Titans. This movie still has the original cast, like Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, …
Anna And The King,1999 movie
The movie is based on a true story that took place in the 19th century. Anna Leonowens (Jodie Foster), an English widow, is invited by the King of Siam to educate his numerous children. Her views differ in many ways from the traditional Siamese ways, and she holds on …
Murder Once Removed movie
Murder Once Removed is a murder mystery movie, as might seem obvious, that starred John Forsythe as the handsome physician, Ron Wellesley. He’s known to be a ladies man, but at least one man, Frank Manning (Richard Kiley) believes that Wellesley is a murderer. In fact, Manning …
Silent Hill (starring Radha Mitchell)
Silent Hill starring Radha Mitchell is quite a dark movie. Radha plays a very distraught mom in this movie and her character name is Rose. She goes into Silent Hill in search of her daughter whom has this problem of sleep-walking. Little does she know that this …
Holy Motors (2012 film - avant garde, drama film)
Holy Motors is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. But be warned, you may not understand it, or even like it, at all. Holy Motors is almost not even a film in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, it is a piece of extremely well …
Diary of the Dead
This is by far one of the most boring and silliest movies I have seen in a long time. I had watched it before it came out on cable television and DVD too, and had the unfortunate luck of having to sit and watch it again as my brother …
Listerine Whitening Vibrant White Pre-Brush Rinse
I recently tried a different brand of whitening mouthwash called Listerine Whitening Vibrant White Pre-Brush Rinse. Mouthwash is an important part of any dental hygiene regimen, so a whitening pre-brush rinse is a necessary item to have on hand.
Listerine Whitening Vibrant White Pre-Brush Rinse comes in a 16 0z. …
The Shadow
The Shadow is a very good super hero movie. I never knew what The Shadow was. But when I finally saw this movie I must say that I loved it a lot. This movie is very good and I really do think that Alec Baldwin did a great job of …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
The 2008 Blockbuster version of The Incredible Hulk is a surprisingly entertaining action flick from the world of Marvel Comics.
Written by Zac Penn, (The Avengers, The Fantastic Four, X-Men: The Final Stand, etc.) Edward Norton starred as Bruce Banner, the gamma-infected scientist of the story, bringing believability to the …
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 …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
Sherlock Holmes movie (2009)
Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …
She’s the Man (movie)
A few years ago, when She’s the Man was in theaters, I saw a few previews for the movie. I thought the movie looked dumb and unrealistic. However, I decided to give it a chance because my friends wanted to go see it. I am very …
Strawberry Shortcake: Big Country Fun
My daughter spends a great deal of time watching some of the newer episodes of Strawberry Shortcake. So, as a bit of a change, I got her one of the older episodes of the show.
While the only noticeable difference in Big Country Fun compared to other Strawberry Shortcake movies …
Million Dollar Baby, Directed by Clint Eastwood
The movie ‘Million Dollar Baby’ is really a million worth movie. The story of the movie was narrated mainly around a lady who struggles a lot to become Boxing champion and the problems she faced after becoming the champion.
The central idea of the movie …
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Sweeny Todd was such a great movie! I saw it at the Prescreening. It was a very dark and very musical and funny film all at once! I think Johnny Depp did a great job of playing the part of Sweeny Todd. I also think everyone else did a great …
Sherlock Holmes The Soultry Cyclists
I am not a Shelock Holms fan., but I was quite curious to watch his movie(s), as I have heard a lot abt him and Sir Author Conan Doyle, the creator of SH. Yesterday, I got a chance to watch one of his films named ‘Sherlock Holmes -The Soultry …
Cloverfield
I recently watched Cloverfield on DVD. Shh…my brother works at a video rental place and they get it a few days earlier than actual release!
At first I thought, Oh great Blair Witch 2008. But after several minutes, I realized this was not at all like Blair Witch! Whereas …
Drive (2011 film)
Drive is a 2011 neo-noir film starring very famous stars such as Ryan Gosling, Bryan Cranston, Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac and Ron Perlman. It is based of a novel of the same name published in 2005. It was released in September, 2011 and it was praised by many critics considering …
Shakespeare in Love
I watched Shakespeare in Love on a whim, after seeing the trailer I thought it was a very well convincing trailer and that I should give it a watch. Well it exceeded all my expectations; I thought it would either be campy and cheesy, or dry and emotionally heavy. …
Clue movie (1985)
First time I had heard about this movie, I knew it had something to do with the game. Yet, I had never played Clue, the board game, before. I had read about it, even looked at the box at Toys R …
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
This movie is a good movie but it just didn’t have something. I think that’s what they call ‘B’ movies. But those ‘B’ movies sure are fun to watch ! I love how this kind of wedding is depicted; all of the family, the traditions, etc. I love how …
