Miss Congeniality
The actress, Sandra Bullock is very much related to light hearted, feel good movies and “Miss Congeniality” is one of these movies. “Miss Congeniality” success is greatly based on Bullock’s acting abilities and a great script that includes action, adventure, humour and romance all mixed up together.
In this movie …
Major Payne
When it comes to comedies, there is one that is often forgotten about but is actually a lot better than people give it credit for; Major Payne.
This is one of Damon Wayan’s best films. He plays a Marine Major who is a killing machine but is forced to leave …
Click (movie)
Devilishly funny and a new classic is the movie click. It has Adam Sandler in it and he is an awesome comedian. Click is about how this guy wants one remote to control his life and make it easier on him so he goes to a bed, bath, and …
The Other Guys Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …
Road to Eternity movie
The second part in Kobayashi’s trilogy about Kaji is the best one in my opinion. Here he has been transferred to “the field”, right in the face of war. The biggest trouble for him is not to stay alive in the battles, but to avoid fights with his fellow …
500 Days of Summer movie
First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous starring Sandra Bullock and Regina King is a fun comedy that is sure to entertain! This sequel to Miss Congeniality picks up right where to original left off. FBI agent Gracie Hart fresh from the publicity of the beauty pageant finds …
Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
Elizabethtown
I watched Elizabethtown the other night and I must say that on the cover of the DVD, Orlando Bloom looks so very much not handsome at all. But once I watch the story, I was like he’s the most sexiest and handsomest guy ever! That’s something like truly …
The House Bunny
When I got the movie The House Bunny, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to expect from it. On one hand, it looked like it would be a cute, funny movie. On the other, it looked like it might be pushing the limits a bit and could simply be …
Movie Gothika
This is one of my favorite movies. The first time watching it all my focus was on the movie. It was very entertaining to watch. It kept me watching throughout the whole thing wondering what’s happening next and scared a little. It also has a very good story to …
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ from 1974 was a bore to me. I’ve never really been into the Fitzgerald world. The Great Gatsby didn’t thrill me either, and I saw it in the theater, back when screens were huge. I also like …
Movie: Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Set in the Victorian era, Sherlock Holmes tries to unravel the truth behind the resurrection of a dead man named Lord Blckwood. Blackwood allegedly practiced black magic to fulfill his selfish desire for world domination and Sherlock Holmes was bound to stop him at all cost!
I’ve been wanting to …
Family Guy
Family Guy is one of the best new cartoons to come out! Wow these are so many great characters in this how. I could go on about just Stewie in this review. That is how great he is. Petter Griffin is just funny. I mean even the way he looks …
Slackers
Slackers is a comedy (?) about a geek who wants to hook up with a beautiful popular girl and gets the help of three people ,who get really bad grades but do not do any work to achieve them, to help him get the girl. The director of this …
Reno911!: Miami (2007)
Reno911!: Miami (2007) is a comedy directed by Robert Ben Garant that’s rated R for sexual content, nudity, crude humor, language and drug use.
Comedy Central’s hit television show, Reno 911!, comes to the big screen in Reno 911!: Miami. The Reno P.D. heads down to Miami for the …
The Brother’s Grimm (2005)
This movie is one of my favorites from the late young actor Heath Ledger. In fact, thinking about it now I’m not sure which one of his movies I didn’t like. Nevertheless one of the reasons why I liked this movie was because it appealed to the …
Bedtime Stories movie
I’m not as big of an Adam Sandler fan as I used to be. This is mostly because his movies always seem to rehash basically the same plot and some of the films are so terrible I can’t get through 10 minutes.
But, we decided to pick up Bedtime Stories …
Resurrecting The Champ (PG-13, 2007) movie
I had heard of this film. But when I saw that Josh Hartnett and Samuel Jackson starred in it, I figured it was one of those movies in which the black man portrays a lost, but heroic figure. And the white man comes to save the day …
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 …
2fast 2furious
2fast 2furious is a lot better in my opinion than the first and third installment, this particular movie had a better story line which captured the viewer a lot more than the other two, the scenes were better directed and the cars seemed a lot better. The grafics areamazing …
Basket Case movie
Do you like horror? Do you like a mystery? Do you like older movies? If you like all of these qualities, or even if you just like one of these things, Basket Case is the movie for you. Basket Case is about two brothers who stick together through thick …
Final Destination 2 movie
I absolutely loved the first Final Destination when it came out and thought this one would be just as good. I was wrong.
Final Destination 2 was a good movie and was still better than many of the other thrillers out there. But, it definitely paled in comparison to the …
Groundhog Day (1993 movie)
Bill Murray stars as a weatherman with a nasty temperment…he’s miserable and grumpy. Having to go to a small town to give a weather report on weather it will continue to snow or not, based on the shadow of Phil the Groundhog, he finds this the worst day of …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …
Stepford Wives
I have seen almost all the movies of Nicole Kidman because she’s one of my favorite Hollywood actresses. So I was really excited to see Stepford Wives because aside from her, Bette Midler is also in the movie. Based on a book by Ira Levin and a remake of …
Mona Lisa Smile
‘Mona Lisa Smile’ is one of those unescapable feel-good movies that induce the viewer into a reverie of real world idealism. The everlasting quest of man for the template of an ideal mate for life is presented through the conservative faces of the movie.
The movie is set in an …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I usually like a movie I could somehow relate into. However, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is one of those movies that I liked but could not really much relate to myself. It is about a woman who has a passion for shopping, which I don’t.
Being into shopping entails …
Brightstar (2009, Jane Campion)
This film is a thing of beauty, a joy forever.
If you are familiar with the poetry and life of Keats I guarantee you will love this film. Quotations from Keats letters, and from his poems are cleverly interwoven into the script, never seeming forced, cliched or trite - but …
Mine pyar kiya, a Hindi movie
Casting: Salman khan, Bhagyasri
Mine Pyar kiya is a box office hit. It is a turning point to salman khan. This is a debut film for bhagyasri. Bhagyasri got an eternal fame with this movie. This is a love story. The narration of story is really good. Performances of salmankhan and …
Grindhouse
Grindhouse had to be one of the most disappointing movies I have ever witnessed. This is not because the film was awful, just that it was (for lack of a better word) a firmly average film that did not really offer anything new to the horror genre. The idea …
The First Wives Club Movie
The First Wives Club is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The first time I saw the movie I was young, so I did not grasp the significance of both cast and the plot as a whole, but now that I am older it is one of the …
Stardust (2007)
This is a truly magical fantasy movie, one that earns a solid “10″ rating. It’s unique and loads of fun to watch. This movie keeps moving and doesn’t really stop until the very end. There’s action galore, ranging from sword fights to a flying airship landing on a lake. …
Blade II,movie
After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …
300: Rise of an Empire, movie
My Husband and I liked and own the first 300 movie (called The 300). For those who have never seen it, it tells the tale of the battle of 300 lone Spartan soldiers against a huge army and the powerful Xerxes. We watch the original 300 fairly frequently and …
The Others movie
“The Others” is a dreary, yet magical horror film-that is unlike many other supernatural horror films. The director created a dreary and sleepy backdrop to tell the story of a woman and her two children who live in a huge manor after the 2nd World War. Nicole …
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sometimes, as you get older, movies you liked as a teenager or even as a young adult suddenly start seeming really stupid. I think that might have been the case with the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
The interesting thing about Fast Times is I used to think of …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself (PG13, 2009)
I have watched a few Tyler Perry films and decided to give “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” a chance. I really like Taraji Henson as an actress, and have always been a fan of hunky Adam Rodriguez. The story is centered on a group of …
Away from Her
I actually went looking for this for this movie in DVD. The teasers made a compelling case for how Alzheimer ’s disease impacts the lives of people every day. Of course the movie came with the required outpouring of various Hollywood actors telling their sad tales of …
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …
Wanted (Angelina Joulie)
Yesterday I watched Wanted movie starring Angelina Joulie. I went to see mainly Angelina in action. As usual she is at her best.
I won’t discuss the storyline here as it will understood better if you watch the movie that read reviews about it. Anyway it is about a …
“A Royal Affair” movie
Denmark, during the 1700s was the place where the French Revolutionary war was inspired by way of “The Enlightenment”. The concepts of Rousseau and that of Voltaire came to the forefront in Denmark by way of Doctor Johann Struensee. Struensee was a physician originating from Germany; hired …
Fantasia
For me, it is hard to see what the problem is or was with Fantasia. Most critics hated it back in 1940, especially classical music enthusiasts. They felt Disney animators butchered a beautiful art form. How naive is that? The animation was fantastic and, I felt, only …
Steel (1997)
When a weapons designer for the United States military resigns for a personal reason he finds his weapons on the streets of his home town, he now makes it his own personal campaign to rid the streets of the weapons and put a stop to all the crime and …
A Walk To Remember movie
I was able to watch the A Walk To Remember movie when I was in high school, which was roughly seven years ago and yet I still remember it very clearly and I love the movie very much. I didn’t even know it was based from the book until …
The Carson City Kid movie
Roy Rogers stars in this 1940 western called The Carson City Kid. I have to admit that watching this movie was a relaxing experience. I just sort of kicked back and enjoyed a simple picture that was the classic good versus evil battle.
Rogers played a man masquerading …
Down by Law (1986)
“Down by Law” is a 1986 US movie in English filmed in black and white. The 107 movie is in some ways a series of vignettes that tell the stories of three men who meet in prison, serve time together, then escape the Louisiana Parish Prison through a swamp. …
