The First Wives Club is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The first time I saw the movie I was young, so I did not grasp the significance of both cast and the plot as a whole, but now that I am older it is one of the …
Sex and the City
Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Recognize these four names? These are the women on a popular tv show called Sex and the City. It is easy to fall in love with these characters who seem so true to life.

The Land Before Time: The Great Day of the Flyers
My daughter has never watched any of the Land Before Time movies before. So, when she picked out one of the newer movies in the series “The Great Day of the Flyers,” I was skeptical about her watching even a few minutes of it.
However, I found she actually enjoyed …
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)

Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …

An old costume film of an era that passed away a long time ago. There aren’t any costume films of …

True Romance movie
The screenplay of this film was written by Quentin Tarantino, but it was directed by Tony Scott. The result of this got better than I personally would have expected, as it is an amazingly intense action road movie with a lot of graphical violence and a list of quality …
The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back(1980) directed by Irvin Kershner and produced by George Lucas is an example of one of the finest science fiction films made in the 1980s and of any era. Due to the fact that the other films were released, they all did something which was quite …

“Monsters” movie
Taking up for watching “Monster” I was hoping that it will be explosive combination of “The way” and “District 9″. So I was hoping for poetic road movie, as confirmed in the post-apocalyptic mood, which would become the matrix for an ambitious aesthetic, making a problems, science fiction story. …
Grave of the Fireflies
This “anime” film from Japan by Isao Takahata deals with a lot more realistic theme than those found in the most famous anime creator Miyazaki. Grave of the Fireflies tells the heartbreaking story of some children who survived the nuclear attack on Hiroshima in the 1940s. It is very …
Disney’s Hercules
Despite the fact that this animated feature was terribly inaccurate to the Greek myth of Hercules, I liked it. Actually, I think I may have liked it even more than my kids did.
James Woods is absolutely hilarious as Hades, and all of the characters are fun and interesting. …
The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …

Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
The original film from the 1950s is about a man who returns to his home town after many years and discovers the people there have been possessed by aliens, or is it just him going insane and imagining everything?

My Super Ex-Girlfriend
My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a nice comedy movie. The movie stars Uma Thurman, Anna Faris and Luke Wilson in the lead roles. Though the movie is entertaining and enjoyable, it some times gets boring and illogical. Even if we accept the fact that Uma is a super girl, we …

Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
Daredevil Movie
Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …
Speak movie
I am reviewing the movie entitled SPEAK, which was based off of the award winning novel by Laurie Anderson. This is a movie you cannot miss. Kristen Stewart plays the role of Melinda, who has been deemed a social outcast after she called the police at a school …

I am reviewing The Case of the Blind Man’s Bluff, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
Lost in Translation (2003)
I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …
The Pagemaster
This movie is so much fun! It was made in 1994 and stars Christopher Lloyd and Macaulay Culkin, with other well known actors lending their voices and talents to the film, including Whoopi Goldberg.
