In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale
The best way to describe “In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale” is some where in between “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” and “The Last Legion”. Some described it that it has certain similarities to “The Lord of the Ring” trilogy.
This movie is about …

I watched this movie a long time ago, not necessarily because I was actually interested in watching it but, I was waiting at a business place when it happened to be airing on television at the time, so I decied to watch it. The only thing I have to …
The Hurt Locker (2009) movie
Well after hearing some word that this movie was one of the best of 2009 I had to watch it for myself to see if the hype was true. I have to say they were not lying this movie was great.

House of Wax
It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …
Movie The Holiday
I like this movie, not love, like. I watch this movie at the first place because of the casts in it, I mean, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, wow! This is a drama/comedy kind of movie. The plot is kind of interesting, about two women …
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 …
The Good Son
Starring: Macaulay Culkin (Henry Evans), Elijah Wood (Mark Evans), Wendy Crewson (Susan Evans), David Morse (Jack), Daniel Hugh Kelly (Wallace Evans), Quinn Culkin (Connie Evans)

Home Town Story movie
From 1951, Home Town Story is another movie from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that gets right to the point. It has to because it’s just over an hour an length, which wasn’t uncommon for films before the sixties.
When I first put this on, I was taken aback somewhat by …

But …

No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …

13 Going on 30
When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …
Film Some Like It Hot
One of my favourite films of all time is Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and directed by Billy Wilder.
The film is a genuine classic, not some art house movie that everyone raves about for a month, never having really watched it or understood …
Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist movie
I thought this would be good because I like the actor from the movie Superbad, I have never been so wrong. The plot is seemingly non-existent, the guitarist for an emo band makes mix CD’s for a girl who doesn’t want anything to do with him, he meets a …
Life or Something Like It
“Life or Something Like It” is definitly not one of the best Angelina Jolie’s movies. Infact she was nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie. Jolie is not great in this movie because, for one thing, she is wearing blond hair and looks like a …

First off is the cool visual effects that they did for the ships rocketing off, ect. I believe that …
Defiance
I don’t usually like war movies, but sometimes I watch them mostly because my mother likes them. That was how I watched the movie Defiance. At first, I thought it was going to be very boring too like many of the other war films I’ve seen with the graphic …

Cry Baby movie
I think I watched almost every one of Johnny Depp’s later films before I finally got around to watching one of his first ones, Cry Baby. After seeing the movie for the first time, I can understand why it has become a bit of a cult movie.
While the overall …

Twilight the Movie
Stephnie Meyer’s Twilight saga created much uproar with the brilliant storyline and an unconventional love story that it offered. Twilight Movie is based on the first novel of the saga. The movie is a perfect blend of suspense, romance, mystery and sci-fi acts. The star cast is absolutely apt …
Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD

Apollo 13
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.
There are a lot of movies about historical disasters. But, Apollo 13 is one of those few films that gives …
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.
Richard Gere’s character was too …
The Town (2010 thriller movie)
I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …
The Departed movie
Whenever Martin Scorsese comes out with a new film, I can’t help but become excited, and The Departed did not disappoint. Scorsese brings his wonderful cinematic vision we have seen in such movies of his as Goodfellas and the Raging Bull. The filmaking is also excellent which …
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER DVD
We’ve been trying for a month to rent Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer, but, it is always out. So, we finally bought one for our grandsons to watch, as they spent the night. It is truly adorable, with Whoopie Goldberg’s voice being the wicked witch, Stormella, and with the …
Superman Returns movie
I absolutely loved every minute of this movie. It was suspensful and the acting was great as well. Brandon Routh was Excellent as Superman as well as Clark. He supplied the right amount of innocence to Clark and confidence to superman. I was plesantly surprised …
Countess Dracula
We recently bought the movie Countess Dracula on the budget rack of our local department store. It was one of those movies you could buy really cheap and even have a second feature at the same time. For that reason, we didn’t think it was going to be any …
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Thriller Movie)
I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …
Pirates of the Caribbean 2
Great movie!! I LOVED the first Pirates movie and thought the cast was outstanding and once again, they were great! This story tells us that Captain Jack Sparrow has a debt to pay to Davy Jones (who by the way is pretty gross looking as is the rest of …
The Life of Pi movie

I think the movie IT is one of the best and scariest movies ever made. This is a movie that will make you afraid of clowns after you watch it. It is one of the darkest and most evil movie ever made. I was horrified by the sinister appearance …
