Traitor, spy thriller film
Traitor came out and was hoping to bank off of the success of other films. It didn’t work too well but can the video release at least shed some life on Don Cheadle’s action movie?
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) sells weapons to terrorists. When a sale in Yemin goes …
People Are Funny movie
In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.

Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given.

Carol (2015 Film)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
The Forgotten
The Forgotten is a very weird and kind of spooky movie. It’s about alien abduction and it’s also very interesting how people were sucked into the sky in this movie. It was very strange and also scary at the same time. I think that the The Forgotten has a pretty …

Pretty Persuasian movie
The film “Pretty Persuasion” is about some teen characters; however, not necessarily a film for teenagers solely. James Woods delivers a good performance as the protagonist’s father. He is also not the most terrible character of the movie’s personages however he comes in at a close second. …

Dallas Buyers Club, movie

Hulk (2003)
Here is another example of why Hollywood should stay as far away from comic book remakes as possible. This movie is so bad, it makes ‘bad’ seem like a candy bar. At first when the movie started, I was all geared up to enjoy Hulk style destruction similar to …

I am Legend
Ok, considering I waited several weeks before I was able to find a copy of I am Legend at my local video store, I have to say I’m extremely disappointed in this movie. In fact, I’m absolutely glad I rented it rather than buy it.

Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …

Seven Pounds is about a man who is about to commit suicide and he falls in love. Will Smith is the main character of this movie. He does an amazing job in my opinion. In the beginning of the movie it is confusing but interesting, in the middle of …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …
