Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …

One Hour Photo is a very suspenseful and disturbing movie starring Robin Williams in one of his rare non-comedic roles.

Tonight I decided that I was going to watch the movie “Attack the Block” even though I heard about it roughly a year ago. Back then when I had watched the trailer and seen one or two clips of the movie what I saw just did not impress me …

Terrorism has spread the world over. There is not a single place in the world where terrorism is unknown. To counter it, many steps have been taken, but all the steps to counter terrorism have not proved very affective, the world is reminded of the same by instances …

Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …

This movie is typical Hollywood fluff, with overdone “passion” and sexing. The storyline is okay; it could have been a decent movie if it was done right. Shakespeare, played by Joseph Fiennes, is struggling with a writing crisis, he thinks he has lost his gift and searches for a …

When watching the movie Earth Girls are Easy, you might be fooled into thinking you�re going to watch a hilarious movie. The reality is, outside of seeing Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and Jeff Goldbloom in early roles, there really aren�t many redeeming qualities to this film. Unless of course …

When I first saw the movie “National Treasure” advertising to be released I thought it was based on the book “The Da Vinci Code” by author Dan Brown. This was because I had just finished reading the book, and had heard either on the television or from one of …

Is anyone else a Mel Brooks film lover? I know I am. The first time I saw one of his films, I was a kid and asked my mother about any other films he might have made. My first one was …

I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.
Maybe I’m just a closet Julia Roberts fan but I just can’t get enough of a Cinderella story that has a prostitute and millionaire falling …

This is a silent film by the danish filmmaker Benjamin Christensen, but it was produced in Sweden with swedish actors, so the swedes has been taking credit for this as one of their most important silents. It is also considered as one of the first full length horror films …

This movie features now famous Hollywood superstars Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon. I think it’s their first movie roles and they were still in their teens. I saw this movie a long time ago but I was perfectly sure that both of them are gonna be superstars (but who …

Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave is a high tension, psychological thriller that unfortunately, tends to be overshadowed by his much more acclaimed Trainspotting. This is unfortunate, because in my opinion Shallow Grave is almost as fantastic as that film, and deserves the attention of more people.
The film follows three housemates; Alex, …

The Dark Half, starring Timothy Hutton, was released in the early 1990’s. It is a very poor attempt at a suspense/horror movie. The action is very slow, and character development is lacking.
This movie is based on a fairly good novel by Stephen King. As with most movies made from …

I really enjoyed the film Ginger Snap and I though this movie would be similar but it was not. Basically the makers of the first movie did not expect it to be a cult favorite. It was not made with a lot of money but did very …

My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …

I should start by saying that I did not enjoy this book. Perhaps my expectations were too high going in and the only outcome was my disappointment. I’m not sure but the author does make a bold assertion when he suggests in the title that his book …

The key message behind the movie “A time for dancing” is that if you believe enough, you can make your dreams come true. Although this film conveys a very noble message to youth, however it lacks a strong script.
The story of this movie is about two best friends, Sam …

The Last Man on Earth is an old black and white movie based on the Richard Matheson short story “I Am Legend” as is the Will Smith movie by the same name. Seeing the movies together is a completely odd experience because both are completely different. In this movie …

There are movies that make you laugh, and then there are movies that make you laugh. This is one of those movies. This has to be the very funniest movie that I have ever seen, and it is all entirely child-friendly, which is amazing to find in this day …

My co-workers and I decided that we should probably go see a movie for the two for one special a local theatre was having. Two of us wanted to see the new Spiderman movie and the other two wanted to go and see one of those random chick flicks …

“Stardust” is a sweeping family fantasy based on a book by Neil Gaiman and narrated by Sir Ian McKellen. Although the plot was a bit confusing in places, I love this beautiful film; it’s one of those movies you can watch over and over and still enjoy.
Tristan (Charlie Cox) …

I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …

I was recently out and about with my boyfriend close to the movie theater. We were waiting for a friend to get into town from a couple hours away, but her bus had been delayed by two hours. We had two choices: walk home or find amusement for two …

I saw the new Incredible Hulk. I must say it was a great movie! The new 2008 version of the Incredible Hulk is must better than the older one. I was actually impressed with this version. One of the reasons I loved it so much, was because it was …

I adored this film - Marley and Me - but I suspect that has a lot to do with the fact that I do love dogs. Marley is a Labrador owned by John and Jennifer (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) and the movie covers their life with Marley …

In my opinion the by far best adaptation of a detective story by Agatha Christie, in which Albert Finney appears as the genius detective Hercule Poirot. The cast of the film is simply amazing and include legends like Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York, Lauren Bacall, Martin …

I personally am a sucker for horror movies and usually even before I reach halfway through the movie, I sort of already figured out how things will turn out because quite frankly, every movie that involves a bunch of teenagers who go on vacation in a remote house in …

When I got the movie The House Bunny, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to expect from it. On one hand, it looked like it would be a cute, funny movie. On the other, it looked like it might be pushing the limits a bit and could simply be …

This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …

I just watched the attic last night on Hulu. It was an ok film for something made at the low budget level. I’m not sure but I would guess this was either a straight to video or a tv release based on the production values. I …

Just a few days ago, one of my friends and I went to see the movie “Warm Bodies”, which seemed like one of the few interesting movies going on despite what some people had said about it in reviews on the internet. The few reviews and comments about it …
