Tamara [DVD], horror movie
Oh great a horror movie from Lions Gate that has a hot leading lady, trendy music, and enough promised gore to make a seventeen year old boy jump for joy. This has got to be a classic Halloween movie that will stay in our collections forever. Oh wait never …

Storm Warning
Storm Warning is a movie full of blood, guts and gore. If you are not up for this sort of violence and horror, you do not want to watch Storm Warning! Sometimes I can really appreciate a good horror movie filled with all sort of blood and guts. Recently …
The Rescuers
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Rescuers. Now, Disney has had some pretty interesting Disney characters in the past, but it is a rarity to find mice as the main characters. In the Rescuers, that is the case. There is a group of mice known as …
Snakes on a Plane, David Ellis Movie
‘Snakes on a Plane’ (SoaP) is one of the internet phenomenon in the beginning. Long before released, this movie becomes the subject of debate and discussion, which is quite warm. And it is quite a trick successfully. ‘SoaP’ successfully occupies the first rank Box Office when released.
A young …
Scary Movie 4
I thought that Scary Movie 4 would be another foolish kind of slapstick movie but when I watched, I was really so laughing like crazy with my bunch of friends.
It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …
Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie
I have been dying to watch this movie ever since I saw its trailer in the movie house a few weeks ago. The movie was about a Chihuahua and I saw some of the “casts” as well like some pugs and other kind of dogs so I got interested …
Casino Royale
Bond movies recently have not lived up to there predecessors from the Connery or Dalton days. So, Casino Royale is just another money grab with the 007 nametag right? Wrong. Not only is this one of the best Bond movies, it is also one of the …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The Movie
I waited for the release of this movie if only because it was going to be their first in the series to be shown in IMAX-3D. I was happy that there was an IMAX theatre in my area, and I spent the better part of the week convincing my …
While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …

Charlie Chan in Reno movie

Movie: The Girl Next Door
I liked “The Girl Next Door” the first time I watched it, but I really enjoyed it more the second time around. I liked it so much, I actually bought it on DVD! I got a good deal, so even though I don’t feel the need to …
The Lone Ranger Movie
“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …
Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona with Neve Campbell, Casey Affleck, Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, Will Ferrell, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This movie is a perfect example of dry humor. Danny DeVito delivers his cynical lines in his trademark manner. Curtis is her usual sexy self as the waitress had …
A Boy and His Dog (1975)
This is one of those post apocalypse science fiction movies, set in the year 2024 after World War Four. The world we see is a bleak wasteland, mostly desert and rock. People dig in the sand for old cans of food and there is one tiny town where the …
Willy Wonka is Willy Bad
I have seen both versions of Willy Wonka and I can speak from personal experience. Johnny Depp couldn’t be more awful! The old version portrayed Wonka as a dignified adult of English society with a streak of uncontrollable genius.
In this movie the jokes are corny and disgusting, the Oopa …

Hairspray (2007)
Popular Casts : John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christophe Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah and Zac Efron.
First time I read the casts, I feel so afraid that I will be disappointed, because as my personal experience, movie with too many great actors and actresses always become a disaster …
Men In Black
I am totally fascinated about this movie. That may be because prior to watching, I never had any idea what this was all about. And that turned out to be everything I have never imagined that I would be seeing in this movie. I may …
Hot Chick movie
Hot Chick is a very funny movie and I was literally in splits througout the time I was watching the movie. I have always been enjoying the movies in which Rob Schneider acts and I am a great admirer of his acting skills and comic timing. This movie is …

Princess Diaries
The said movie is an adaptation of a book series by Meg Cabot, and although it is entirely different from the book version, I could still describe this movie as “transforming and relatable”.
The movie follows the story of Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), a gawky freshman student whose life was …
The Family Man movie
The Family Man is a great drama movie. It stars Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. In this movie Nicolas Cage’s character get’s to see how life would have been if he would have married his girlfriend instead of splitting. I thought this was a great family movie. It’s emotional, …
Friday the 13th
The first Friday the 13th movie is the one that few people remember. They forget that Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie, and they forget that Jason Vorhees was merely an afterthought. Most people completely forget that it was actually his mother who was the first killer.
Watching this movie …
Michael Keaton
Michael Keaton is a great actor that I admire a lot. He has done very well in many of his movies. He did a great job of acting in the movie Batman. He played the role of Bruce Wayne and Batman. His acting skills were really good on this movie. …
Cry-Baby movie
Last week I watched a movie called Cry-Baby with my girlfriend as she’s found a fascination with Johnny Depp and this is I believe his first major role in a movie. To be very honest, my expectations for this movie were extremely low and I honestly didn’t expect …
The Comebacks
I don’t ever remember seeing the movie “The Comebacks” advertising to be released in theatres. In fact, thinking about it now I realized I must have, but at the time I probably thought that it was just one of the many sports movie dramas which were being released at …
Donald Duck
There are many cute Walt Disney cartoon characters but I think Donald Duck is the cutest of them all. To those who are not aware his full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck and his birthday was June 9, 1934. With his cutie bird head and a pair of …
Miral (2010 film) by Julian Schnabel
When I read the short outline of this movie, I thought I was reading a news article. I just saw Miral earlier, and it was probably the only culturally significant movie I’ve seen of this year. To summarize, Miral is one way to understand the political conflict …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
Sex and the City The Movie
When my husband took me to ‘Sex and the City- The Movie’ I was not very sure whether I would like it or not because I don’t usually prefer any prolongation movie and this was a continuation of the runaway hit from HBO series. But anyway when the movie …
Behind Enemy Lines Movie
I have never seen Owen Wilson do quite a serious part such as a soldier/sniper and in this movie he did a very good job, he was a Lieutenant here Gene Hackman was also there as Owen’s admiral and commander. I say Owen did a great part here because …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
The Matrix Reloaded is the 2003 sequel to the highly successful 1999 film The Matrix. The move was hard to follow to say the least, I thought the first was was confusing, this was impossible, the movie seems pieced together, I remember seeing a ton of interesting stuff, I …

Catch & Release DVD
I have just watched Catch & Release, a new romantic comedy movie starring my favorite actress Jennifer Garner. This story is pretty funny, but it gets boring, with the normal flavor formula being repeated over and over again. I tried to make myself love the movie, but …

District 9 (2009), Neill Blomkamp
I caught a few trailers for this, but otherwise managed to miss the hype - and so was not entirely sure what to expect.
I was very pleasantly surprised, because it was so utterly unexpected.
The first few minutes were quite surreal. In a documentary style, we are told that the …
Movie Wanted
This is another movie that show Angelina Jolie action. I always like her act in movie especially in action movie. Wanted is directed by Timur Bekmambetov, this name sounds not familiar to me. This story of Wanted movie is based on a comic book miniseries by Mark Millar.

Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
Arachnaphobia film
If you are looking for a film that will be sure to give you a creepy crawly feeling, be sure to rent Arachnaphobia.
I am not afraid of spiders (nor anything else 1000th of my size) but this movie had me checking my blankets before crawling into bed.
Starring Jeff Daniels, …
The Horror Within
When I decided to watch the movie The Horror Within the other night, it was with the expectation it would be a low-budget, cheesy horror flick.
I was partially right. It was low budget and cheesy but it was more of a comedy than a horror movie.
Let’s face it, whenever …
The Resident movie
If you review the list of films in recent years you will notice that more or less everything you see on the screen today is a remake of something that was filmed a few years ago.
