Movies Reviews
Gravity (science fiction movie)
Gravity is one of those movies that I kept hearing from people that I had to see. I couldn’t really understand why either since I thought that the trailer didn’t really appeal to me much, and I’m not too fond of many of the movies that the actress Sandra Bullock …

Get Hard - Comedy Movie (2015)

Back To The Future
Everyone wishes they could go back in time to straighten out family disfunctions. But as this movie shows, if you aren’t too careful, things could turn out worse than before.
This tight, well written script by Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale, who teamed up previously on 1941, was a joy …
Back to the Future trilogy
I bought a complete DVD of this 3 part film by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis (with the help of other producers) with it’s first installment shown in 1985. I never regret buying this stuff because of the entertainment that I get everytime I watch this, time and …
We Are Marshall DVD
Sometimes, the unexpected happens when you’re watching a movie. This is the second time I can remember when I thought I was going to watch a sports movie and ended up watching a flick about the human spirit. The first time was when I saw “Brian’s Song” with …
Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …

The Nice Guys (2016 Buddy-Comedy Film)
I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …
Bad Neighbours (movie)
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 …
Obsessed
I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch the movie “Obsessed” this past weekend. But, my wife wanted to see it and it was her birthday.
It turned out to be an OK film.
It is actually similar to many other films I’ve seen. You have a successful black guy who is …

Just My Luck movie

The Love Guru, romantic comedy film by Marco Schnabel
There comes a point in your life where you want to watch a movie that is real bad, but one of those movies that might be the worst out of the bunch is Mike Myer’s film, The Love Guru. Is this movie real that bad or is there something …

Lantana
Lantana with Anthony LaPaglia, Geoffrey Rush, and Barbara Hershey.
This film was supposed to be a murder mystery but turned out to be a social discussion on the crises facing married couples to make the relationship last. Quite frankly, I fail to understand the movie, but …

My husband and I went to the movies over the weekend to see the new Karate Kid. It is great and literally had the whole audience clapping at the end of the movie! This one is even better than the original. They couldn’t have gotten a better actor than …
The pursuit of happiness
‘The pursuit of happiness’ is a movie which is directed by Gabriele Muccino. The main actors are Will Smith, Thandie Newton and Christopher Smith. All these actors have performed well. There is no flaw in their performance.

Monsters Inc. : Movie
The Pixar/Disney team has made some wonderful movies over the years. There has been the recent UP and the Toy Story series, and many others. But I have to say that one of my favorite all time Pixar movies is Monsters Inc.
Monsters Inc has a very unique storyline. …

Tom & Jerry: The Fast and the Furry
I know, I probably shouldn’t be letting my daughter watch a cartoon like the extra violent Tom & Jerry. But, she likes it so I let her.
We recently rented a Tom & Jerry movie for her “The Fast and the Furry” and it turned out to be a pretty funny …

Avatar The Movie
Some people would say that the movie ‘Avatar’ was great, amusing, or even horrible. But my opinion was that the movie was the greatest movie i have EVER seen! The director James Cameron did an absolutely fantastic job with it. Many of my friends thought that the graphics were …
Network movie
What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …
Star Trek III movie
When it comes to Star Trek movies, there are none better than Star Trek III, The Search for Spock.
Taking place shortly after the Wrath of Khan (in which Spock dies at the end) the movie starts with Spocks funeral, where he is launched on to the developing planet Genesis. …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …

Shyam Benegal is one of the greatest Directors that Indian Cinema has ever had. His films are artistic and are concerned with social issues. He has made many landmark movies like Nishant, Mandi, Hari Bhari, Kalyug, Suraj ka Satva Ghoda, and many other classic. H has been tagged as …
Children of Men
To start off with, any movie that has Michael Caine saying, �Pull my finger� at gunpoint can’t be all bad. And Children of Men is not bad, but it sure is depressing. The story of a future Earth, where the last baby born was eighteen years ago, and now …
Tomorrow Never Dies movie
The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …
Enter The Dragon Movie
Enter The Dragon is probably my favorite martial arts film of all time. I think that the master Bruce Lee really showed people how it is done in this movie. The story is starts and beautiful China where Bruce Lee practices Kung Fu in the great Shaolin Temple. I just …
Knocked Up
Knocked Up with Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann.
Only one word can describe this romantic comedy - stinker. Rogen and Heigl play two personalities on opposite ranges of professional career motivation, yet end up hooking up in a drunken binge. …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
DVD PATRIOT
Has Mel Gibson ever made a worse film?
Trying to cash in on Mel’s tremendous success in BRAVEHEART, Roland (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW among other travesties) Emmerlich cast Mel in a really badly written American Revolution historical picture.
Originally conceived as a WW2 movie, it mutated into the junk that …

Open Range (2003)
Once again, Kevin Costner has delivered unto us, the viewing public, another almost three hour feature length film based in the days of the old west. I guess it is safe to say that he loves this time period and he enjoys getting all submerged in a world where …
Arthur and the Minimoys
When I was in a movie house, I was able to see the trailer of Arthur and the Minimoys. I found it and interesting story so I bought a copy of the movie. I like the movie so much since it is an adventure film. Though its a fiction …
The Emperor’s Club movie

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age may be an animation, but even adults dig it. The cute graphic, funny plot, witty conversations do not just attract kids but their parents, older brothers and sisters as well.
