The Bourne Ultimatum
I have enjoyed both the previous Bourne movies, but I HAVE to say that the last one The Bourne Ultimatum was by far my favourite! I am usually not that much into watching sequels - but the Bourne Sequels just got better and better as they went along! …
Hope Floats movie
When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …
Hannah Montana: The movie
As embarrassed as I am to admit I actually watched this movie, I have to say that it was not as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, when I first heard that there would be a movie for that silly show that many of my younger …
Movie The Illusionist
I must admit I am a huge fan of Edward Norton’s films. Every time there is a new movie of his; I simply jump at the opportunity to watch it. His films are simply extraordinary. In “The Illusionist” one can see Norton at his very best. This is definitely …

Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
With an all star cast of the some of biggest names in the movie making business in this movie, it is no wonder that it made such a killing at the box office. The fact that it was a remake did not seem to sway people from lining up …

Cloverfield movie
Cloverfield through advertising it brought up a lot of wonder of what the hell the film was about. Watching the film was quite hard, because of the use of one camera its hard to fit in cuts, they did a great job of this putting in cuts whenever falling …
Playboy Wet & Wild: Bottoms up
I will never forget my 18th birthday when I was finally allowed to see adult movies. I had always wanted to see some hot babes take it all off. And the first ever Playboy video I rented was Playboy’s Wet N Wild: Bottoms Up. I was very excited …
Throne of Blood movie
Akira Kurosawa’s depiction of the classic Shakespeare play Macbeth moved to a japanese environment. Apparently Kurosawa was very clear on that fact that he wanted to make Throne of Blood a japanese film, and that the audience was supposed to feel the Shakespeare story was only in the background. …

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen A&E
I believe the best movie version of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice is by A&E. I’ve read the book, and the A&E version holds very close to Austin’s work. I hate when movie directors and film writers believe they have to make the classic their own, by making …
Under the Biltmore Clock (1986)
“Under the Biltmore Clock” is very good television (1986) movie. It was aired as part of the PBS “American Playhouse” series. The movie is based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story “Myra Meets His Family.” It is the story about Myra, a popular flapper around New York who …

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Movie)

Blades of Glory
Why is our society so crazed about sex, sex-related humor, gay humor and such?? Or perhaps this is not the society but just Hollywood? Go figure… Here is another movie full of that stuff, a movie that probably could have been good otherwise.
Blades of Glory is about two figure …
Let’s Talk About Sex DVD Movie
The movie, Let’s Talk About Sex, rated R, is actually a movie that is full of bollocks. The title is very suggestive, but there’s no really formal education on that, for inspiring young women wanting to learn at least something about this over-rated topic.
The story is about an …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
Focus - Romantic Comedy Movie (2015)
‘Focus’ is a romantic comedy with lots of twists and turns that make the movie enjoyable to watch. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this movie at times plays out like an action film or thriller and definitely had my attention throughout. The screenplay could’ve been executed a little better …

Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …

Haunted Honeymoon
Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …
The Heiress movie
This is a beautiful, although sad, movie. The story takes place in 1849 New York. Catherine (Olivia de Havilland) is the daughter of Dr. Sloper (Ralph Richardson), a very wealthy man and a cruel, tyrannical father. Catherine’s mother had died in childbirth - Catherine’s birth. Not only Dr. Sloper …
Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …
Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes
Reggie goes goth in Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes, and I’m not crazy about it because she ignores her precious golden retriever, JD. While it’s a temporary condition, it simply turns me off. I don’t like animals suffering in any way due to human eccentricities.
The Daisy …
Baby Mama
I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …
Dracula: Dead and Loving It
Dracula: Dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielson, Mel Brooks, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, and Amy Yasbeck.
Was this supposed to be one of those comedy spoof films or an honest attempt at another version of the Dracula film remakes? I am not sure. …

Schindler’s List Movie 1993
I was only 13 years old when this movie was shown in theaters, Rated-R as it is, it sends curiosity in my mind as i hear people talk about it everywhere. A Steven Spielberg Film, all would have judged it even without seeing the film, with high expectations of …

Angels in the Outfield

War Horse (movie)
When I heard about the movie “War Horse” a couple months ago, the plot sounded so interesting to me that I couldn’t wait to try it. I realise now that it was only because the person had given me a very brief and interesting synopsis of the movie’s plot. …
Girl, Interrupted
Girl, Interrupted is a very good attempt by the makers of the movie. The movie which is inspired by the book with the same title, deals with a teenage girl’s experiences at a rehabilitation center during her 18 month stay there. Though the movie doesn’t have a universal appeal, …
Magic Mike film
A few of my friends had seen the movie “Magic Mike” and raved about how good it was. I didn’t really think it would be my kind of movie, so I didn’t watch it when it first came out. A few nights ago, however, I had nothing …
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club remains, to this day, my favorite teen movie, and one of my favorite films overall. Simply put, it’s a classic. John Hughes manages to define his five principal characters as much more than the simple stereotypes presented in most teenage driven movies, while, at the same …

Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
“Grindhouse” (2007 double feature)
“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …
The Wolf of Wall Street (movie)
I saw the trailer for the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” a little earlier than most people who I know, and even though I figured from the start that it would gain some amount of attention, it just didn’t interest me enough for me to make future plans …

The actors, Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves team up once again together to make this exception movie “The Lake House”, after 12 years from working together on the movie “Speed”.
