Two for the Road: A Stanley Donen Film (1967)
This is definitely my favorite Stanley Donen film. I watched this movie last New Year’s Eve, and though, I was willing to let go of those bygone memories, I never could forget “Two for the Road.” Because I love Audrey Hepburn, there’s no other particular reason that …
The Hitcher (movie)
I honestly think it�s time for me to stop watching horror movies. They just don�t do anything for me any more. The remake of the 80s film The Hitcher proves this.
The problem with The Hitcher is it�s like every other horror film I�ve ever seen. It has two college …

Zoolander
Watch Zoolander and you will go crazy laughing like mad. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this and this is such a funny movie if I’m not mistaken during the early 2000-2003, not sure which period.
However, do not take too serious note of the political issues …

I had watched this movie when I was in my fourth standard. It has fascinated me ever since. It was the movie that introduced me to dinosaurs. Jurassic Park is a movie by Stephen Spielberg. He in this movie has implemented what Micheal Crichton had envisaged in his book …
Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.

The Prestige (movie)
The Prestige is one of the best and most entertaining movies I have seen in the year 2007. It was crafted so perfectly that I don’t think there would be a better movie about magic tricks. The Prestige was directed by the same guy who directed Batman Begins. He did …
Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty with Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
The movie was excellent primarily because of the all star cast. Zellweger is not great looking, but her on screen wholesomeness shines through to make her really desirable. Morgan Freeman plays a hired …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
Mr. Bean goes on vacation after winning a raffle. That is the plot of the movie plain and simple and in a nutshell as anyone could have it. All this movie does is takes us on the road of adventure that Mr. Bean goes through from place to place. …
Beyond Betrayal movie
A decade after playing lovers on Emerald Point N.A.S., Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Dey reunited to film this action drama, only this time around Anderson is no nice guy. In fact, this is probably the most violent portrayal I’ve seen of his, and I must be honest. …

Gone Girl - Movie (2014)
‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …
Anger Management movie
Anger Management. I knew of the movie, had no interest in seeing it. Jack Nicholson stooping down so low as to star in a movie with Adam “Billy Madison Boy” Sandler. Not for me.
So, now long after I think this movie is ancient history, I turn …
Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie

Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …

Movie About a Boy
As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.

American Gangster
Any movie with Denzel Washington as the lead role in it, promises a lot from the onset. As for American Gangster, I really think the whole cast as well as the behind-the-scenes team did an excellent job in every respect of the delivery.
This movie is a hit and everything …

Sunshine (UR, 2007)
I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …
