Movies Reviews
UHF
I was flipping through channels last night and came across the Weird Al Yankovic movie UHF. Since there wasn’t anything better on TV, I figured I would take the time to watch it for the first time in years.
The movie was OK but not as funny as I remembered …
Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story (PG13, 2004)
I am a huge fan of true crime stories. Back in 2002, I followed this particular story fairly closely, and thought that something just wasn’t quite right about Scott Peterson and his lack of emotion. This movie, which I think featured on regular television, was …

Turner & Hooch
Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors hollywood has ever seen. He proved it by winning two academy awards for his great performances. I recently watched his movie Turner and Hooch on DVD and found the movie very boring and just waste of money and also waste of …
Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows movie
I’ve always remembered Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows, not because of the actors but because of the story and that it makes use of Universal Studios. In fact, the opening has the soon-to-be murder victim on the tram, riding around seeing the attractions, like Jaws and the burning …

A Christmas Carol 1999 movie
A Christmas Carol, 1999, starring Patrick Stewart, has left me disappointed. I love the story, and I thought Stewart could make a good Scrooge, but his performance had not touched me at all. The movie followed the book closely enough. Scrooge, a lonely, hard-hearted businessman, hates Christmas because he …

I am reviewing the movie, Ordinary People. Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and Judd Hirsch star in this fantastic movie about the hardships of life.
After losing a son to a boating accident, Beth and Cal Jarett don’t know how to handle their son that did survive …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …

Movie : World of Silence
World of Silence is another suspense/horror/drama film from the land of South Korea. This one is a favorite of mine and I am really glad I watched it. While it wasn’t at all what I was expecting to see, I am glad that it was completely different. …
Transporter
Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
The writers behind this film weren’t much …
Movie The Whole Nine Yards
I asked a few people I know if they liked this comedy film, but some of them said it was corny and silly even though I can remember that when I watched it, I thought it was one of the most hilarious comedy films I had ever watched. I …
Eddie Murphy: Raw
If you’ve ever seen Eddie Murphy in family films like Dr. Doolittle and Shrek, I would recommend renting his Raw performance on DVD.
This is Eddie Murphy at his best, giving stand-up comedy performances and talking about everything from politics to women and race issues. If you have kids, put …
Death Sentence DVD
Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …

In this film, …

Death Note is a Japanese animated series. Part One takes you into the life of a high school student by the name of Light Yagami who finds the book of the god of the dead called the Death Note and uses it to try to take over the world.

Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …
Nothing DVD
Nothing may sound like nothing, but the Nothing DVD is full of everything. It’s a well packaged DVD with a couple of extras to make buying the product worthwhile.
The movie Nothing stars David Hewlett, known best for Stargate Atlantis. It also stars Andrew Miller. The two …
50 First Dates movie
I must admit, at first I thought that this movie, 50 First Dates is just another love story with a touch of comedy and humor. But I was wrong. Maybe others are looking at this movie that way, but for me, it is also a story of a great …

Megiddo: The Omega Code 2
If you’re the kind that likes to watch TBN and laugh at just how insane and silly these people really are, then you will probably enjoy Megiddo: The Omega Code 2. Although it proclaims itself as a sequel to the Omega Code, it isn’t really a sequel (although …
The Greatest Game Ever Played Movie
So the “The Greatest Game Ever Played” got a 7/10 in my book. I’ll let you know why. First, the movie is based around an inspired golfer, who is poor, and is discriminated for being such by the country club. His dad doesn’t support his dreams of becoming a …

No Reservations (2007 Romance Drama Movie)
It literally took me years to decide I was going to watch the movie “No Reservations’. This was because I thought that I wouldn’t love it even though one of my favourite actresses, Catherine Zeta-Jones was playing one of the leads. This was because I had seen it being aired …

2001: A Space Oddyssey (1968)
The film 2001: A Space Odyssey is a mind bending triumph of land mark cinematic filmmaking. Released in 1968, it was a box office hit, but was misunderstood by many critics as to what they were viewing. They had no idea they were viewing a celluloid epic creation which …
The WaterBoy
The WaterBoy is a great Adam Sandler film! I loved this movie the very day I saw it in the theater. It is a great movie and one of the best ever made in my view. I think this movie will last through the ages and will make families laugh …
Hi Fidelity film
This is one of my favourite films, and it’s based on a book by one of my favourite authors, Nick Hornby. It stars John Cusack, as Rob, a hapless record store owner who is obsessed by lists. After his relationship breaks down he lists his five most …
Urban Legend
Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …
Naruto
Naruto today is one of the most watched animes in the world today. The anime revolves around a lonely boy named Naruto who is trying to become the superior ruler of his village also known as the Hokaga. The story starts out to be very compelling but as the …

Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
Anything Bogie steps into is going to come out shining like the North Star. …
Daddy’s Little Girls
I’m still warming up to Tyler Perry’s style of writing, producing, whatever you want to call it. My cousin from England recently visited my part of the world and brought me the Daddy’s Little Girls dvd no bootleg, the real thing.we are principled like that!!! …
Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2008 Movie

Diary of a Mad Black Woman
OK, when I was forced to watch Tyler Perry’s movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I wasn’t happy about it. I don’t mind romantic comedies but I figured this was going to be your typical chick flick; with non-stop man bashing.
Fortunately, I was wrong and this turned out …
Movie: BioDome
Synopsis: Two underachievers break into a bio dome and are locked in for one year.
What I liked about this movie: This is actually a pretty decent film about our environment. The two men don’t care a thing about protecting the environment and end up causing chaos wherever they are, …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
