The film presents an exaggerated take on the seedy underbelly …
Marley & Me Movie 2008
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 …

Confessions of a Shopaholic
I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …

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 …
Mamma Mia
I’m a child of the 70’s. Yes, that means I was a *child* in the 70’s, so I never really was into Abba much. I just remember bopping to ‘Dancing Queen’ at the school disco (wearing my Mum’s incredibly psychodelic maxi dress if I remember correctly) so I was …
The Scarlet Letter (movie)
Back when I was in high school, Literature class was one of my favourite subjects because we had a teacher who made all of the topics that we covered very interesting, especially when she made references to other books and movies. One of the books that I remember her …
Walking with Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs
Walking with monsters: before the dinosaurs, is a fascinating documentary. It is divided into three sections, each one covering a different time period. Each half-hour documentary showcases creatures that lived many years before the dinosaurs evolved. The show was fascinating, absolutely riveting. I like it better than …
The Men Who Stare at Goats
I really didn’t know what to expect when I went to the theatre to watch The Men Who Stare at Goats, but from what I had read and seen, I was intrigued enough to actually not wait to see it on DVD, which is unusual for me. Plus, I …
Last Holiday movie
Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …
Antichrist (2009) movie
My friend told me that this movie won the Cannes Film festival, and even though I did not do my research to find out whether that was true or not, he made it sound interesting enough that I was actually very eager to watch it. Therefore, I managed to …
Bayaning 3rd World
I have seen in a film viewing a movie whose attempt is to fully make its viewer understand not only the life and works of Rizal, a Philippine National Hero, but also to people who watches the movie how difficult it was to make a movie out of a …
It’s Just a Ride movie
A film about the life of stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. Interviews with friends, family and colleagues are mixed with actual re-creations of his private life and authentic material from his live shows.

Music and Lyrics (movie )
I’m a fan of both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, so I had some interest in seeing them together in Music and Lyrics. But, I didn’t know I’d enjoy the movie so much. Grant plays Alex, a has been pop star and Barrymore is Sophie, an aspiring …

The original release date for this movie was May 11, 2001 for Brazilian audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Science Finction/Thriller and stars Jean-Claude Van …
Beetlejuice movie
One of my favourite films by Tim Burton, Beetlejuice is a dark, but highly comic little gem with a fantastic little story at its heart complete with a cast of superb performers.
The film follows a newly wedded couple, played by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin who, shortly after moving …
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 …
King of Kings movie
I’m one who enjoys a good religious holiday film, and one of my favorites is King of Kings from 1961. This is a remake of the silent classic and stars Jeffrey Hunter. I adore Hunter. He was an incredible actor who could draw me in to …
The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
The plot: …
Evidence of Blood movie
Evidence of Blood came out in 1998 and like the true, old south, it moves slowly. No, it doesn’t move, it crawls. Everything is told in a deliberate, snail-like drawl that is agonizingly slow. I’m all for murder mysteries, but I need something to keep me …
Justice League: Doom
As a fan of superheroes, I was looking forward to finally checking out DC’s animated film, “Justice League: Doom”. The direct to video feature is a loose adaptation of the “Tower of Babel” arc, that reveals that Batman has designed elaborate plans to take down each of his …
Ironman 2 movie
After watching the first Ironman movie and finding myself quite impressed by it, and also hearing that the band AC/DC had released another album which was part of the Ironman 2 soundtrack, I found myself very eager to watch it. Even though I had no clue what this sequel …
20th Century Women (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
The moment the trailer of Mike Mills’ latest film “20th Century Women” arrived I became immediately excited. The sense of nostalgia in recreating the 1970’s again (even if I was born in the 90’s) excites me in a way that I felt euphoric just thinking what the film could be. …
The Game Plan Movie
Dwayne Johnson is hot. There is no doubt about it. And it gets even better seeing him star opposite a little girl star Madison Pettis. This is about a famous foot ball player who doesn’t know that he has a daughter, and the girl shows up on his doorstep. …
Movie Knowing
I was rather excited about seeing this movie. I like Nicolas Cage and I like Science Fiction so I had great expectations but got pretty disappointed. I mean, the movie is not that bad but it is less than I was expecting.
The movie starts when a class of elementary …

Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
The Salvation (2014 Film)
As a Mads Mikkelsen fan, I was excited to watch the latest film he was starring in called The Salvation. He is a fantastic actor, that I have come to enjoy watching in the last few years. He has a way of captivating the viewer with his performances and his …
48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …
Anna and the King
I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …

This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …
Netflix
My family likes watching movies. I especially enjoy getting family movies my daughter can watch for a special treat. My husband is into the really big blockbuster type movies with lots of special effects. We were signed up for the Blockbuster mailing service. I liked …
Perfume The Story of a Murderer (2006)
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer stars Ben Wilshaw as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille who was born into the revolting street smells of eighteenth century Paris with an obsession with scents and with little else filling his head. I am not usually attracted to films that are described as a …
The Curios Case Of Benjamin Button
When I went to see this movie I was excited, it looked interesting and I thought it would be funny, something happy for the long and often depressing holidays. The movie kept me interested, but just barely, I should have just stopped watching it right away, but I kept …
Hitman: Agent 47, 2015 Action/Thriller Movie
I have always loved the Hitman franchise, and after watching the trailer of this movie, my expectations were at apex. It is the reboot of the 2007 film “Hitman”. Unfortunately, i am disappointed from this movie. It made the original movie film look like a masterpiece. The filmmakers tried to …
DVD Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.
I’ve been reviewing several of Paul Naschy’s films on here lately. Naschy was Spain’s reigning king of horror in the late …
The Perfect Man, Mark Rosman Movie

The Elephant Man
If you are not familiar with the story of Joseph (John) Merrick, known as The Elephant Man, this movie will come as a shock. Based on a true story of a man with severe physical deformities, it is often painful to watch. John Hurt plays the unfortunate Merrick. Heavy …
Moulin Rouge (Movie)
Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …
Two Weeks Notice (starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant)
I watched the DVD of Two Weeks Notice starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant the other day and there could not have been a better duo for their roles than them. It’s basically a movie story about serving your troublesome boss and after some time feeling that you have …
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
When my family rented the film from our local Hastings a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what this “Sweeney Todd” character entailed. Indeed, the name sounded more of the same banal comedic drudgery that plagues the genre. My initial suspicions were proved utterly superficial when I …
Samantha Jones, character of Sex and the City
Are you a big fan of Sex and the City? Which character from Sex and the City that you like most? Besides Carrie Bradshaw, the main lead, I always give my two thumbs up for Samantha Jones for her confidence, independence and her bravery in sexual life.
Samantha Jones is …
Insidious: Chapter 3 (supernatural horror movie)
Insidious: Chapter 3 wasn’t on my list of horror movies to watch because I didn’t get the impression that it would be very good especially after watching the trailer. As usual, someone I knew recommended it to me anyway and I decided to try it. It turns out that I …
Erin Brockovich
This is a very beautiful movie. Well, it’s based on the life of activist Erin Brockovich, so there’s nothing much we can do or comment about the plot or story line. Erin lived a very inspiring, albeit controversial life and we owe some respect as to how she lives …
Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996)
Many times over I have mentioned that certain movies do not need a sequel and for every time I mention this fact there comes another movie which is a sequel to prove that fact time and time again. Take this movie for example, the original movie was so good …
The Addams Family
The Addams Family is a show that nearly every one in the world has heard of. When they announced plans to turn it into a movie though, people were less than thrilled. Once it came out, there were a lot of converts as people were eager to see the …
