National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …
27 Dresses
The other day, I gave in to my wife and watched the romantic comedy 27 Dresses with her.

Movie Autopsy (UR, 2008)
I won’t say that I tried to like this movie, because I could tell right away that it would be one of those films that tries to be campy. The movie, which centers on this one chick (who can remember their names) who is looking for her …

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

The Thing About My Folks,2005 movie

Flightplan
I watched Flightplan yesterday shown on the local TV channel and it is so good to see such a good actress Jodie Foster, acting once more.

Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …

Bleak House (2005)
At first, I was not sure whether I liked the new Bleak House (released in 2005) better than the old version I have in my collection of classics (the 1985 Masterpiece Theatre production). I was so used to the old version that it took me some time to warm …
Mother and son movie

Dreamgirls
I give this movie five stars. After leaving the theater, I wiped the tears out of my eyes and headed to the nearest place I could buy the soundtrack. Don’t mistake me, this is not a sappy movie, but it does pull on your emotions. After a month of …

Confessions of a Shopaholic

However, the …
Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides movie
This is a movie that i’ve been waiting for, but sadly Indonesian government block the Motion Picture Association (the company that bring movies from Hollywood) for not paying taxes.

Prom Night
I’m a huge fan of thrillers; at least those that can actually give me some chills. So, when I had an opportunity to watch the movie Prom Night, I jumped at the chance.
Overall, I found the movie to be much better than I expected it to be. But, there …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs
I adore Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There’s enough ‘people’ drama and ’supernatural’ drama all rolled into one. The comedy makes it easy to watch. You get really involved in the characters. I love the way the product is packaged. I haven’t fully explored the special features options but they …

I am reviewing the movie, The Green Man, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, The Green …
