High School Musical 2 movie
With the enormous success of High School Musical, Disney quickly made a sequel called appropriately enough High School Musical 2. Not messing with success, it’s basically the same cast, led by teen almost-sensations, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The movie starts as summer break is about to …
Wild Child Movie
This movie is called Wild Child, and it features Emma Roberts with a completely different role from what she usually does, it’s not unlike Hotel for Dogs or Nancy Drew, but this movie features her as Poppy, a very rich teenage Malibu queen who’s rebelling because her mom died …

Ghost of Girlfriends Past Movie
When I saw this movie, I immediately expected it to be a good one since it features Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey; Michael Douglas has a cameo role in this and it just adds flavor to the movie. The story is about a young bachelor named Connor Mead (Matthew …
PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern, the author, is the 22-year-old daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister. It is quite rare to find a book about a 30 year-old-widow written by one so young, as many writers tend to write on younger characters based on their past experiences. Ms Ahern is brave to try …
Frankie and Johnny movie
Where to start talking about this musical film, Frankie and Johnny? It’s a 1966 release that has a lot of singing Elvis Presley and, of all persons, Donna Douglas as his co-star. Douglas is best known as Elly May Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies. While I …
Knocked Up movie
Knocked Up is a movie about a girl and a guy who get together in a chance encounter and the girl ends up pregnant. The girl, Alison, and the guy, Ben, who have only known each other for a one night stand, decide that they should at least make …
Movie Happy Feet
This is one of the best cartoons I’ve seen so far. The trailer didn’t look so promising so I never watched this in the theaters. I seldom want to pay for cartoons anyway. Luckily, one of my relatives bought me a DVD version which they said was on sale. …
Movie Children of the Corn
While i’ve never read the book written by Steven King, i’ve watched all of the movies during my childhood. i must say that now that i’ve become a Christian, I regret doing this. I have asked Jehovah God for forgiveness billions of times over.
While the movies were very gorey, …
Transformers (2007)
Amazing! Right from the start this movie has you hooked. There is nothing that I can say “bad” about the “Transformers” movie.
For starters, they give you an idea of what happened on the home planet between the two battling factions. It is explained how and why the Transformers had …
V for Vendetta (2005)
V for Vendetta (2005)
Director: James McTeigue. Featuring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.
In my eyes, the movie stands somewhere between greatness and boredom, all depends on how you like your movies. It is told in a non realistic, graphic novel style. The heroes are symbolic and …
So close to life movie
This is a film by Ingmar Bergman and was made in the late 50s when he really had found his cinematic expression to its full potential. The story is about three women who are about the give births to children on a hospital. They talk a lot about their …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
Man Of Steel Movie
A year after the glamorous finale of the last trilogy of Batman with “The Dark Knight Rising” in theaters appeared another, perhaps even more epic adventure , inspired by the comic book universe of DC. “Man of Steel” launches a new series of Superman - the oldest and most …
Sky High (2005)
This movie is a story about a boy who has super heroes for parents, his mother has the power of flight and his father has the power of super strength, but at fourteen, he is yet to have any powers of his own. His friends all have their powers, …
Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …
Wild Hogs (2007)
John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy star in this motorcycle gang comedy. Tired with their routine lives, the four decide to trek cross country on their motorcycles to rediscover themselves and tour the countryside. Along the way, they come across alot of different and strange …
Vice, Movie
Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.
A rather weak …
The Lovely Bones Movie
I finally was able to watch The Lovely Bones last night. I am a big fan of the book. It has always been one of my favorite books of all time. Sadly, the movie didn’t matched my expectations. Although Peter Jackson made the movie in absolutely …
Knowing Feature Film
The movie Knowing was a pleasant surprise for me. I did not see any advertisements for it when it hit the theaters and I knew nothing about it when I rented it except that it was a horror movie and it had Nick Cage in it. …
The Fisher King
I saw “The Fisher King” recently and found it was great entertainment. I’ve always been a sucker for Robin Williams craziness and this is one of the craziest. Add to that Terry Gilliam as director and one would expect a completely wacky movie good for many laughs, but not …
Bubba Ho-Tep movie
Normally, I like Bruce Campbell movies, but when I saw Bubba Ho-Tep, I was actually embarrassed to be watching it, and I was in the privacy of my own house.
What a stupid movie. Basically, Elvis is alive and living at a nursing home in the deep south. He ends …
Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …
Popeye Movie
I got the movie Popeye as a Christmas gift last year but never sat down to watch it because I’ve seen it before and, even though I couldn’t remember much about it, I remembered it wasn’t the best movie ever.
However, my oldest daughter, who loves the cartoons, wanted to …
The Woman in White,1982 movie
“The Woman in White,” 1982, mini-series is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the Wilkie Collins mystery novel. Mini-series, in my opinion, is the best way to film Victorian classics: you don’t have to cram a huge book in a one and a half hour movie and therefore …
Raising Helen movie
Raising Helen was a movie which starred Kate Hudson, it about a woman whose sister unexpectedly dies in an accident with her husband, now she has to take care of his sister’s kids and juggle it with her demanding job and her temporary on hold fun life. At first …
The incredibles
I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …

Brokeback Mountain movie
I was a bit hesitant to watch Brokeback Mountain because I’ve never really seen two men kissing or making love on screen. But with all the hype and critical acclaim that the movie received (along with several Oscar nominations), I just had to see it. So I rented a …
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Jurassic Park III (2001) is an action film from director Joe Johnston and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for intense sci-fi terror and violence.
Sice the events of the first Jurasic Park, Paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill) swore that he would never return to Jurassic Park. But when he …
The Rookie Movie
This was quite the inspirational movie. This was a movie that I had not planned to watch, but it seems like any movie my boyfriend likes, he wants me to watch as well. But I am so glad that I saw it because I think it impacted me in …

Last Days movie
Gus Van Sant is next to Jim Jarmusch probably the most interesting american independent filmmaker from the last 15 to 20 years. Last Days is his film that apparently tells the story of the last days of legendary Nirvana-member Kurt Cobain. The autentic names and songs in the Cobains …
TOM AND JERRY-cartoon
This is my farvourite tv show when it comes to cartoon,infact i don’t miss it out.
Tom and jerry is an exciting carton and infact a local medcine for high blood pressure ,because you would have to laugh out till you get to forget your name.This wonderful cartoon created …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a movie I have watched and it’s actually a remake. What would you do if suddenly, you find yourself inheriting 40 billion dollars..? I can’t imagine that happening to me and hence, can’t think of the least or most possible way to save and spend …
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 …
Into The Woods - The Movie
Last night when I went to watch “Into the Woods”, I was excited with expectations of watching a splendid musical. Although it includes scenes of great quality, I felt it lacks the strength to be called an exceptional movie. It’s a good musical, but the evolution of the characters …
Alex and Emma (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Alex and Emma” starring Kate Hudson in the early stages of her career, and Luke Wilson, was a film that was really trying to be romantic and funny. I could see it in the jokes and scenes that were exaggerated. However, it really did not deliver. …
Anatomy Movie
Anatomy is one of those horror movies that I really love. It isn’t too graphic, it doesn’t use a lot of harsh language, but it still manages to scare you in ways that other movies can’t. I think part of it is because the movie was made in Germany …
Coraline movie
When I first saw the movie Coraline advertise to be released in theatres I knew I wanted to see it, especially when I found out that it was directed by a director whose work I had adored ever since I was a little girl, Tim Burton. The trailer seemed …
The Clinic 2010 movie
As far as a horror movie goes this is every women’s nightmare. I didn’t find this film either jumpy neither scary but i found it utterly disturbing. The thought that some of those things can happen in real life, that places like this existed was disturbing enough without having …
Case of the Shoeless Engineer
I am reviewing The Case of the Shoeless Engineer, 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 Howard, …
Nightmare of Elm Street movie (2010)
I recently went and saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I think most people know the plot line to nightmare on Elm Street, and for those few who don’t it’s a pretty simple slasher flick. A badly burned Psycho who was killed years ago by an angry mob …
Grindhouse: Planet Terror
My wife and I were once again in the mood for a good zombie flick so I ended up picking out Grindhouse: Planet Terror, in an effort to find a more modern movie that might put a different spin on things.
It was an OK movie but not the best …
Marrying the Mafia Movie
This is a really hilarious Korean romance comedy. It all started when Dae-Suh (a CEO of a respected IT firm who was educated in Seoul National University) woke up next to a stranger, Jing-Kyung. Later, it was found out that Jing-Kyung is actually a beloved daughter of a mafia …
Quantum of Solace
The movie released in India today, and I saw the first show on the First day - a rarity for me, made possible however since it was a holiday!
