Movie: Avatar
I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the movie Avatar at the theater and finally got a chance to watch it on DVD this past weekend. At the time we rented it, I figured it would be good but wouldn’t live up to all the hype. I was wrong. It …
Altered
I first watched this low budget movie, Altered during the year 2006. A bunch of friends had managed to return safely to their hometown but all’s not that well actually because one of them was ‘retained’ by the aliens since they chose only 1 out of them all.
I think …
Only Fools & Horses —“ S7, Ep1 - The Sky’s The Limit
I love Only Fools & Horses and I was so glad when a seventh series was broadcast in 1991. As long as John Sullivan can keep writing brilliant comedy I see no reason to say goodbye to the Trotter brothers. —˜The Sky’s The Limit’ is the first …
Kangaroo Jack (2003)
Kangaroo Jack, directed by david McNally is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for language, crude humor, sensuality and violence. The original release date was January 17, 2003 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Comedy/Crime and stars Jerry O’Connell as Charlie …
Children of Men
I watched this movie a few months ago. I was totally enthralled in the plot. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I wasn’t very impressed when they killed the main characters long lost love. I also found it to be a little more …
Our mothers murder
This is one of my favorite movies that I have seen on lifetime. It was a very good story and a true story also. I think that they did a wonderful job making this movie. All of the actors were good in it and did an amazing job playing …
Written in Blood movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Written in Blood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 1997, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novel series written by Caroline Graham.
Gerald Hadleigh is a secretary of a highly …
Into the wild movie
I watched this movie yesterday and the ending today. Overall it was pretty good. It was more of a documentary about a young boy who goes off into the wild and lives on his own. He burns all of his identification.
I thought it was pretty good overall. It was …
Up in the Air: the movie
I had heard good things about the movie Up in the Air, including that it had been nominated for an Academy award for best picture. Also, I like George Clooney, who starred in the movie. So this was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, …
What’s New Scooby Doo Monstrous Tails
My daughter loves the newer Scooby Doo episodes. So, when she wanted to rent a movie last weekend, we ended up picking up a movie that featured several episodes “Monstrous Tails.”
And, after watching it with her probably about three dozen times over the past week, I have to say …
Angoor Movie
Angoor - Movie Review : Angoor (meaning rapes) has been directed by great filmmaker Gulzar. It is based on Shakespere’s Comedy of Errors. The story is about two persons, a master and his servant, who have their twins in the same city, and are mistaken as themselves. The …
Reaching for the Moon movie
Reaching for the Moon from 1930 starred Douglas Fairbanks as Larry Day, Bebe Daniels as Vivien Benton, and Edward Everett Horton as Roger, the Valet. Even so, one of the best parts of the movie was a small segment that included Bing Crosby.
Crosby played himself and only sang one …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
I can honestly say that I was never a big fan of the Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon… however, I must also say that I loved Alvin and The Chipmunks movie. When it first came out, I thought it’d be a silly movie that only kids could possibly …
ZA: Zombies Anonymous
OK, I’m a fan of Zombie movies, that’s no secret. So, I decided to give ZA: Zombies Anonymous a try just for the heck of it.
I’m going to give this movie some points for originality. Most zombies in movies like this are mindless beings who only want to kill …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 7
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 7 recaps the last episode and shows the Elric Brother’s return to Central to find the Truth to Dr. Marcoh’s notes on the Philosopher’s Stone. Alex Louis Armstrong has to report to Central so he has two of his soldiers, Maria Ross and Denny …
Role Models
Role Models is the latest comedy starring Paul Rudd, who actually co wrote and produced the film. The movie is advertised as a comedy similar to 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, which also stars Paul Rudd, but it isn’t as funny as those other movies.
Paul Rudd and …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …
Flags Of Our Fathers Movie
Flags of Our Father is a very strong, graphic and realistic war movie covering the battle of Iwo Jima. Having seen other movies such as Private Ryan, I had gone into this movie with the expectation to see lots of battle scenes and the brutality of war. …
X Men cartoon series
The X men cartoon TV show is very good. I really love this show. This is probably one of the most exciting and action packed TV shows ever made. And I use to wake up early just to see it every Saturday morning.
I think the story lines and plots …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?”
Tyler Perry is an awesome film maker. I really enjoyed his most recent film entitled “Why Did I Get Married?” The movie focused on relationships and the problems that each couple was dealing with in their marriage.
In the movie, there were four couples and they were all friends. …
Movie: Airplane II
I had a longer lunch yesterday than usual and ended up being able to watch the movie Airplane II: The Sequel.
It had been a while since I saw the movie so it was almost as though I was seeing it for the first time. And, after seeing it, I …
Thor The Dark World (2013 Film)
Thor The Dark World is the second film in the Thor franchise. It was a movie that I patiently awaited after watching the previous movie. Because of the extensive hype that comes with almost every superhero movie, I waited until it came on DVD to watch it. My review …
The Women movie
The Women is a DVD movie that I watched with my best friend the other day and one of the actresses that acted is Meg Ryan. She is one of my most favorite actress and alongside her, others like Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Eva Mendes and other actresses acted …
Spiderman:The Movie
I watched Spiderman a while back and loved it. Since then, I have also seen Spiderman 2 and 3. When I took out the old film to watch, I was a little surprised at how phony the graphics looked. I had thought that they were so realistic when I …
Good Luck Chuck
If you really love watching romance movies, than you must not miss out on watching “Good Luck Chuck”. This movie is one of my personal favourites together with “Sleepless in Seattle” and “While you were sleeping”. The difference in this movie from the latter is that the main characteres …
Wild Hogs
Well..
Someone must of been real drunk or is really stupid in order to make this movie.It just finished in front of my innocent eyes an hour ago.When it first started,I said,it should be good,big budget to hire those actors.John Travolta,Tim Allen,Martin Lawrence,William Macy.Sure they aren’t big cash magnets like …
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 …
Voyage of the Yes movie
Voyage of the Yes was something of a coming of age or discovering oneself type of movie. Airing on TV in 1973, the movie is about two young men who travel from California to Hawaii by sailboat.
Desi Arnaz Jr. and Mike Evans starred in the production, with Arnaz …
Anthony Hemmingway’s Red Tails movie
My husband and I both love movies that are based partly on historical events so when we saw the advertisement for Red Tails on Red Box we decided that we would rent it as a fun movie for the two of us. We only paid $1.20 to rent the …
Casino Royale Movie
We went to see the new James Bond movie this weekend, “Casino Royale”. We were a party of two adults and found the movie to be good entertainment. Daniel Craig was a great new James Bond and both my husband and I felt he did a great job. He …
American Psycho, movie
Based on a book by the same name, “American Psycho” is more than just you’re average thriller or psycho film; it’s a snap shot of the money and corruption running rampant in New York during the 1980’s. Christian Bale puts in an immense amount of effort, and even if …
Tales of the Crypt: Bordello of Blood
In the late nineteen nineties and the early 2000s, I became a very big fan of the series and the Tales of the Crypt movies. One of my favourite movies at the time was the one called Bordello of Blood. I watched it recently though and thought that it …
The Last Valley (1971), a movie
The story is set in the 1641 Germany, torn apart and devastated by the Thirty Year War. The war had begun as a religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants; now, on its 27th year, everything is too messed up to figure out what’s going on and who is fighting …
Wall-E
When I saw all the ads to Wall-E, I thought that it was going to be a boring movie with a lot of silence, but I was wrong. It was one of the best animations that Disney has made yet, both graphically as well as in the story line …
Blue Collar Comedy Tour
I am reviewing the video, Blue Collar Comedy Tour. This video captures the on stage/off stage moments of comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy. Throughout this tour, you’ll hear several of Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck…”, and Engvall’s “Here’s your sign.” …
The Brave One (R, 2007)
Of all the Jodie Foster films I have seen recently, this one was the most interesting—¦ but quite a departure from the kinds of films I’ve seen her in. The Brave One features Jodie in the lead role as a fiancée whose lover is killed in Central …
Starship Troopers (movie 1997)
Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey and Dina Meyer star in this sci-fi/thriller/action/drama type movie. Filmed looking like a commercial, it takes us to a far away planet where bugs rule. War is waged and alot of beings die…this is a very bloody movie, and that …
Jeeva
I like to tribute this review to late Mr.Jeeva, a fantastic cinematographer and director in Indian cinema Industry. He recently died in Russia while he went for a shooting of his fourth directorial venture film ‘Tham Thoom’. He stayed in a hotel in Russia after completed his …
Movie Secretary
Secretary was a weird movie. I had heard rave reviews from some people about this movie, sos I thought that there was no harm in checking it out. Well, I was not harmed by watching Secretary but I found it to be way over the top from what I …
One Last Thing - Movie
This is an excellent powerful movie! It was the perfect combination of comedy, tragedy, and inspiration. In this film, a young 16 year old is dying of cancer. He had been granted one wish by a foundation and much to everyone’s surprise, he asks to spend …
Kung Fu Panda
I am not a big fan of animated films. I watch them every now and then, but I am not so keen on seeing them. But when I saw the trailer of Kung Fu Panda, I instantly want to watch it. The trailer was cool, the story and also …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Storm over Asia movie
In this epic montage film by Pudovkin, the story of mongolian warlord Djenghis Khan is told, or rather, the last days of Djengis Khan. It’s a very complex and sometimes confusing story, but Pudovkin really found and perfected his visual with this work of art. The style these montage …
Love Comes Softly movie
I am reviewing the movie, Love Comes Softly, which was released in 2002. This movie stars Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy as Marty Claridge and Dale Midkiff as widower Clark Davis. This movie is based on Janette Oke’s best selling book. Heigl’s character is along with her …
Movie: Precious
I have seen advertisements for the movie Precious in the past and, from what I saw of them, I figured it would be a movie I would have absolutely no interest in. That’s why it never made my Netflix Queue.
However, my wife told me she wanted to watch it …
Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)
There is always this magnificent beauty that the nature emits. It is something so rare especially for people like me who have lived in the city for so many years now. Away from all the trees, untainted rivers, and the calming sound of the creatures that add peace to the …
