Crank (2006)
I saw this movie, and you have got to believe this I was in some kind of hallucination or translation while I was watching it. The movie really pulled me into it and I was almost like lost in it. It was as if you have entered some kind …
Movie: The Fastest Gun Alive
Synopsis: A gunslinger who reportedly is the fastest alive tries to keep his identity secret and live a normal life with his wife. Instead, he has to fight an outlaw.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen quite a few westerns involving gunfights and, while they are all …
The Movie Cars
I have to admit that when I heard about this movie I was rather skeptical. Not that I don’t like Pixar films, but rather about the subject matter of this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie it really semed more like an animated version of …
Surf’s Up (2007) movie
One of the best animation movies of all time, and certainly the best from Sony Animation, Surf’s Up was funny, clever, and perfectly edited. The voices matched the characters brilliantly, and the characters themselves were a hilariously mixed and matched. Some of the dialog was truly inspired, …
The Driver, movie (1978)
In 2011, Drive was critically acclaimed for its 80’s throwback style and intense car chase sequences. For comparisons, the likes of Bullitt and French Connection were often cited in many reviews. One movie in particular was left out of those reviews. This is criminal considering the …
Just Friends comedy
The first time I watched the “Just Friends” Dvd, I was nearly in tears. I love this movie. The actors play their roles so well, that the viewer is fully capable of feeling sympathy, embarrassment, anger, joy, ect for all of the characters. I can’t begin to recall the …

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane Movie
This movie is quite interesting since I’ve seen it several times shown on tv but haven’t really watched it. I’ve recently just watched the movie Never Back Down and it features the same girl here which is Amber Heard. She’s really pretty and wholesome and when I saw her …
The Movie Annie (1999 version)
I grew up with the Original Annie. I loved the movie and the “Tomorrow ” song still plays in my head from time to time. So when I saw the 1999 version on television, I decided to watch it. I had never seen it before and thought …
Finding Amanda Movie
Finding Amanda is one of the latest movies in 2008 and since my friend works in the cinema theater, I managed to get a special sneak preview of this movie.
It is actually a kind of a nice movie and a feel-good at that as well. There are lots …

Walk to Remember
“Just promise that you will never fall in love with me”. A famous line from the movie Walk to Remember which stars Mandy Moore and Shane West. This is a sad love story but I really like it. At first I thought its just another ordinary love story wherein …
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie
At the time of its release, it was an amazing film with wonderful acrobatics, animation and storyline…the characters were well casted also. Imaginative choreography with hand to hand combat and weapons fighting. It was the talk of the town then and it’s a great film to watch even now. …
Tammy and the Millionaire
Interestingly, after the TV series failed with just one season, Tammy and the Millionaire was released in 1967 with pretty much the same cast as the TV series. Debbie Watson, Denver Pyle, and Frank McGrath are all back, as are the actors who portrayed the Brents and the …
Alot Like Love (2005 movie)
Love is a complicated matter…and this movie shows just how complicated it can get. Mixed signals…lack of communication…looking for love in all the wrong places…having to make terrible decisions…the list goes on and on. This movie would have done much better if it was just a drama. The comedy …
The Battle of Algiers (1967) - a militaristic movie

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Bubble Boy (2001 comedy movie)
The 2001 movie “Bubble Boy” might not have gotten a very good rating in a number of places, but it’s one of those movies that I’ve found I can watch multiple times and never get bored of. It might be silly all around, but I still think that it’s funny …
They Movie
While this is not an excellent horror movie, it can stand on it’s own two feet. The best time to watch this movie or any horror movie in fact is in the nighttime…all by yourself, no one else around to distract you and take away from the terror it …
Meet the Spartans DVD
I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
The movie was first released …
Movie The eye
This was an excellent movie. It started out great and it ended great. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I would recommend anyone to watch it. It wasn’t gory at all so if you don’t like gory movies you don’t have to worry about that. It was …
Roman Holiday movie
Like the Prince and me that’s similar to the 1950’s classic a Roman Holiday, this time it’s guy meets princess. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and two of the greatest screen couples in film history.
Audrey Hepburn as princess Ann …

Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …

The Muppet Christmas Carol
The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I did not expect to like it so much when I had first rented it out. First of all, I was not sure whether the muppets would handle the timeless classic with enough reverence; secondly it is a …

The movie Hush starring Jessica Lange and Gwyneth Paltrow in the main roles is a good movie in the genre of drama with an underlying thriller element. The movie though is good has a predictable story and the pace of the movie is a bit slow. But nevertheless it …

Paranormal Activity (2009 film)
This is one of those love it or hate it movies. I don’t think there is anyone who came away from this with a middle of the road reception. I myself could’ve gone either way as many of the reviews I heard were “it’s really good, it’s …
Father of the Bride
“Father of the Bride” is a movie starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams as the father, the mother, and the soon-to-be bride, respectively. It is apparently a remake of the movie by the same name from the 1950s that I have never watched.

The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
