Little Miss Sunshine
“Little Miss Sunshine” is an extraordinary comedy. It’s basic set-up as a road trip movie starring a middle-class family begs the comparison to National Lampoon’s “Vacation” or maybe even the recent “RV.” However, this film tackles far more serious issues and delivers it’s jokes with much more class and …
Movie Watchmen
Yesterday I watched this movie. First, Iwanna watch this movie because I think it’s kind of great action about superheroes who fight for peace and it will be more and more action like kind of the other superheroes movie. But after I watched it, the movie is dominantly by …
Movie Pretty in Pink
I must admit that recently I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and watched “Pretty in Pink”. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies for Molly Rigward along with “Sixteen Candles”. According to certain reviews, it also seems to be Molly Rigward …
Prince of Darkness movie
John Carpenter is a filmmaker that used to be a master of the genre he worked in, but who lost all of his qualities in the 80s and only makes disasters nowadays. Prince of Darkness was made around the time when he was changing from a quality director into …
Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …

Dead Like Me: Nighthawks
Dead Like Me: Nighthawks is a flashback show, and that confuses me. It’s really too early for a flashback show, but maybe Showtime was trying to get people up to speed on what was happening in the story. Usually, a clip show like this one is an …
Beauty and the Beast
Without the shade of a doubt, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ is by far my favourite story. The first time I read it, it left me in tears and I have a habit of coming back to it times and times again. I find it equally touching every time. There …

Superman Doomsday Animated Movie
I really liked this superhero movie since I am a fan of Superman. I personally expected it to be epic, action-packed, filled with effects and drama … and it really is! This film is not related to the “DC animated universe” as its predecessor -Superman Brainiac Atacks, but …

The U.S. population is very interested in stories about the presidential institution. The avid moviegoers will effortlessly think of at least fifteen titles in which the U.S. president deals with incredibly difficult situations, getting away with just a mild shock. Paradoxically, the …

Gone Girl - Movie (2014)
‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …
“Juno” film
Thanks to TBS I was able to watch “Juno” for the first time. I’m happy this movie finally made it to cable television.

Get Hard - Comedy Movie (2015)
Get Hard is a comedy movie starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell. Despite all the negative reviews I’d heard about the movie I decided to watch it. While I wasn’t impressed with the plot of the movie, I found myself not taking the movie seriously and laughing at the jokes …
Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …
Urban Legend movie
As far as thrillers go, Urban Legend is one of the best movies ever made.
The film centers around a group of college kids who are being hunted down by a serial killer who murders people in styles similar to urban legends (such as a killer in the back seat …

Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2
I rented and watched the sisterhoods of traveling pants 2 today. I’ve never seen the first one but I understood most of it. It was kind of boring at parts, and I felt like something was missing in it. It is a teen movie so maybe that is why …

Dus (movie), 2005
I watched Dus on TV. It released last year in 2005. This film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie is an action film. The action sequences are good but what is missing in this film is a proper story line. The story line is really stupid. The director, …

An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …

One of my favourite CLaire Danes movies is the movie “Les Miserables” which was released in the year nineteen ninety eight even though I have read a number of bad reviews about it from other people. I also saw the actress UMa Thurman in the movie and actor Geoffrey …
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …

P.S. I love you movie

Blackout (NR, 2007)
This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …
Film Valkyrie
Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …
“Balls of Fury” (2007 Film)
The 2007 film, “Balls of Fury” film that was supposed to be a comedy proved to be anything but. I normally enjoy comic films that are like this one, though this film was not very funny to me. Something about this film did not really catch my funny bone …
