Dances With Wolves
We like Kevin Costner as an actor and we saw Dances With Wolves last week. Even after all these years this is still an excellent movie.
Kevin Costner plays a civil war hero who is disenchanted with the status of hero that he received and requested that he be …
Terminator Salvation movie
I am a great fan of the Terminator series, and I had been waiting for this film to release from a long time. Last night I went to theater to watch this movie.
Overall it is an enjoyable movie. The story is weak but there are other redeeming factors in …
Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …
Eden Lake (R, 2008)
Eden Lake is one of those films that you’re really going to get into right away. It starts off like any other film, with the obligatory couple going off to enjoy the wilderness alone and really have a great time. This couple heads to Eden Lake …
Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah’s Umbrella
A few months ago, my daughter watched the Veggie Tale movie Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hair Brush. She liked it so much, she wanted me to order it through Netflix for her again.
However, I came across the sequel to that movie, Minnesota Cuke and the Search …
Men In Black II
The sequel to Men In Black suffers from the same disease that plagues most sequels, it fails to live up to the expectations that viewers had after the masterpiece of the first movie. One of the saving graces of this sequel is that the main characters come back, even …
Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I received the DVD Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Christmas. I liked both the movies before it, and I missed seeing Dawn of the Dinosaurs in the theaters, so I wanted to see it on DVD. The movie is a continuation of the last two …

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014 Film)
When someone says transformers, instantly what comes to mind is a league of cars that can transform themselves into robots that are called Autobots. I may not have grown up playing with the toys and video games, but I can appreciate the live action films. So to say, I was …
Premonotion
This was a very good movie. I was interested throughout the whole movie. I loved it and would like to buy this movie some day. Sandra Bullock plays the main character and she does an amazing job. Even though it goes back and forth a lot in the movie …
Howl’s moving Castle
Hayao Miyazaki’s follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Spirited Away’ is another masterpiece of animation. This film in no ways pushes the boundaries of animation and doesn’t attempt to which is refreshing. Too many modern animation films concentrate on wonderful computer affect to the detriment of the …
Miral (2010 film) by Julian Schnabel
When I read the short outline of this movie, I thought I was reading a news article. I just saw Miral earlier, and it was probably the only culturally significant movie I’ve seen of this year. To summarize, Miral is one way to understand the political conflict …
Missing movie
From 1982, Missing tells a true story that isn’t always easy to watch. It’s an intense drama that can challenge one’s emotions. It’s a well written production, however, and does tell a story. I hate to term it entertaining, considering the subject matter, but the truth …
“Glen Or Glenda” (1953 Film)
Glen Or Glenda- a movie known to film critics, enthusiasts, and just about everybody else who’s seen it as the worst film ever made. It was the infamous Edward D. Wood Jr’s first “feature” film, as well as his first and only starring role in one of his films …
Taken, Movie
He is Liam Neeson - the man who discovered Darth Vader, trained Obi-Wan Kenobi and Batman, gave his imperious voice to Aslan in “The Chronicles of Narnia ” and Zeus in “Clash of the Titans”, which makes him a supreme god in two different mythologies. Yet there are people …
Triloquist (Movie)
Triloquist is one of the strangest and worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. The movie was released by Dimension Extreme and that combined with the fact that it was made by the makers of Leprechaun was enough to make me plop down the $4 for the rental …
A Perfect Getaway (UR, 2009)
The movie opens at a wedding. The viewer is watching a home video of the reception, and the characters don’t seem too “apparent.” After the video is over, the action moves to another couple who seems to be on their honeymoon. They’re in Hawaii having a …
When Harry Met Sally
I want to review the movie when Harry met Sally because it is a long-time favourite of mine. It came out approximately 20 years ago, when I was still a teenager, and I still love it.
I love it so much because it is not a simple love story like …
Vacation (2015 Comedy Adventure Movie)
If you’re like me and you loved many of the National Lampoon movies, you were probably very eager to watch the 2015 movie “Vacation”. The thing about the movie is that it was the fifth in the list of National Lampoon’s Vacation series and it is supposed to be a …

The Brood movie
A crazy scientist is creating an army of freaks in this supernatural horror film by David Cronenberg, perhaps one of the most disgusting films I ever saw in this genre, but also one of the most overwhelming. The tension is slowly built up and culminates in a macabre final …

From 1944, The Fighting Sullivans is the true story of an Irish family’s strength and togetherness. The first part of the movie shows the ups and downs of five brothers. They fought a lot, but they were completely united. Halfway through, the boys age, and the …

50 First Dates movie
I must admit, at first I thought that this movie, 50 First Dates is just another love story with a touch of comedy and humor. But I was wrong. Maybe others are looking at this movie that way, but for me, it is also a story of a great …
Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …
The Skeleton Key
“The Skeleton Key” was the first movie that was not a romance comedy which I had the pleasure of seeing Kate Hudson in. I hate romance comedies, and so seeing her in another movie which was not a romance comedy, especially a horror movie, was very refreshing to me. …
Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011 Movie)
Gary Oldman steals the show in this slow-moving but brilliant take on the spy movie genre. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is an intellectual film that will keep you guessing until the end.

“All the King’s Men” The removie: (2006)
After I watched “All the King’s Men” and wrote my review I read some other reviews. For a minute I thought I had watched a totally different movie. Almost universally “All the King’s Men” was panned by the critics. The movie was not just panned but picked to pieces …
The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
Pan’s Labyrinth (R, 2006) movie
What a dark and magical film this is. I had heard things about this movie. And as usual, I waited until the Oscar hype had died down before venturing out and renting it. I am certainly glad I did. This story, placed in 1944 revolves …
Transformers (2007) movie
First I saw the trailer of the movie, and instantly I was impressed and knew its going to be a total entertainer with lots of action and CG. As soon as the movie started I was hooked to it.
There is a lot of stuff that worked for me and …
Mamma Mia! Movie (2008)
I had only watched this movie recently as I thought it was corny, but to my surprise, it turned out to be really great! The movie was comedic and was kind of a musical, I surprised myself by really liking it, it was actually the first time I heard …

Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
When I watch the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the film, considering it was made almost 3 decades ago.
It’s hard to believe that’s Donald Sutherland in the starring role of Matthew Bennell and I was impressed with the …
Gidget Grows Up
There was a bit of hiatus between the original three Gidget movies and TV series of the early and mid-60’s to this made-for-TV movie of 1969, but it was worth the wait. Gidget Grows Up is in reality my third favorite of the entire Gidget franchise. It’s …
Eagle Eye
I just finished watching the movie Eagle Eye few days ago. I got the DVD from a friend of mine who told me it’s quite a good movie. After watching the movie, I must say I am not very impressed with it.
The story started in the Middle East region …

Crank, Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor Movie
The film in the form of actual action it is my opinion after watching Crank, Jason Statham movies. How not? During the 88 minutes duration movie spectators have given the treat of action for the action scenes without stopping, sooner and actually pumping adrenalin. There is no pretense in …
Patton,1970 movie
George C. Scott stars as General George Patton, the American World War II hero and a rather controversial figure. General Patton takes command of the US Third Army after the Americans have suffered defeat in their first battle with the Germans at the Kasserine Pass, Tunisia. The first thing …
