The Zombie Diaries
Much in the vein of Romero’s Diary of the Dead, The Zombie Diaries once again utilizes the hand held approach to movie making. However this movie doesn’t have the polished finish of Romero’s effort, with only a meagre budget behind it and a cast and crew of mostly unknowns. …
Prestige movie
“The Prestige” is a dazzling, entertaining, smart, and mind-blowing film. It is a rare combination of a fun, enjoyable, popcorn movie and a serious, well-done, cinematic film. “The Prestige” sucks you in and doesn’t ever let go. As soon as you see it, …

Movie V for Vendetta
This movie was a tough one. It is at times confusing, at times preachy, and at times extremely disturbing, but I am glad that I stuck it out and I would reccommend that you do the same.

Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …

The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …

Captivity is an odd movie that I picked up in the video store because of the After Dark advertising on the front of the box. I assumed that the movie was part of the Horror Fest series, but it was actually an independent movie released by the same company. …
Failure to Launch movie
When I saw previews of this movie, I thought it would be hillarious. However, when I finally got a chance to watch it, I can understand why the critics hated it.
Overall, it was an OK movie but it wasn’t as funny as it could have been. The plot was …
The Mist movie
I received The Mist from blockbuster about two days ago. I watched it thinking it was going to be a pretty good movie. I usually like Stephen King’s stories but this one I didn’t. I didn’t like the movie at all. It was not scary. It was gory and …
300 Movie

Back to the Future 1 The Movie
When it comes to true movie classics, Back to the Future will always be one. Even if it’s basic theme is 20 or so years old, it has a great message and storyline behind it.
First and foremost, I love the Delorean, even if it’s an out-dated car today, …

Idiocracy (R, 2006) movie
I had the opportunity to see this film and was at first turned off by its spoofiness. But then, by the time the main character advanced to the year 2505, I realized exactly what director Mike Judge was trying to say about our society. This politically …
Shelter Movie (2010)
Shelter is a movie that could have been so much more. It had all the right ingredients: a great actress in the lead- Julianne Moore, a thrilling concept and some well researched information about actual rites and traditions. But the way all of it was put together, just did …
Earth: movie
This is, and hold on to your chair, my absolute favorite film of all time. I just wanted to clear that out before anything else. As I am a fan of cinema, that is the visual element before anything, the basic story in Earth isn’t really that interesting. Of …

Slumdog Millionaire movie
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.

Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses
‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls. They are like fairy tales with magnificient context. But the appearance of princes, pricesses, farm girls and poor people in Barbie stories isn’t like …
Divorce His - Divorce Hers Part 1 movie

Kung Fu Hustle movie
For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.

Mother knows Best movie (1997)

Leatherheads

Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
Starred Up (drama movie)
Starred Up was one of those movies that was recommended to me. However, at the time I didn’t pay it much attention because I’ve never heard the movie mentioned anywhere else. I figured it was going to be one of those low budget flops that was more of a waste …
Take the Lead-Antonio Banderas
I went to this movie last night with my friends. I think it was worth seeing, but perhaps just a rental. It was pleasant, with some funny scenes, and the way the scene moved back and forth with the dancing and the music, especially at the beginning, was great.
The …
Saving Sarah Caine movie

Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …
Charmed TV Show
