Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …

This 2009 theatrical release reinvents the story told in Disney’s Escape to Witch Mountain that captivated a younger generation back in 1975. This is the 5th version of the movie which has a science fiction theme surrounding children and a mysterious mountain. There are some updated elements …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun.

I am a huge fan of the late Michael Jackson, so I just had to see this film. I’m so glad I did, because it offered me a lasting glimpse of the superstar during his last days on earth.
I know all of Michael Jackson’s songs, especially the …

I don’t even remember how and why I started watching this movie. We were there at the cinema and just chose that movie without thinking too much.
It was one of those movies that don’t leave any special impression on you. It is about this society where everyone lives as …

I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …

I only watched “Death at a Funeral” because I read some positive comments about it; however I didn’t expect to be such a great comedy, especially when taking in account that the main topic is a funeral. The director of this movie, Frank Oz managed to come up with …

Movies dealing with war are usually not my cup of tea but after watching ‘American Sniper’ with friends, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. This was more than just a war movie, this was a movie that explored the intricacies of a man struggling to balance his personal …

Burn after reading is a 2008 movie of the Coen brothers. I had great expectations but I must say, right here at the beginning, and I got disappointed. First of all when I saw the list of actors; George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and the rest …

Requiem For A Dream is another weird film you watch late at night and then try to figure out what really happened later on. I really like this movie because it is so sorted and twisted. You just can’t l really understand what would drive people to be so …

I must admit that I was skeptical about this film at first. I didn’t realize that the movie was based on a real “era” in Atlanta. Furthermore, I did not realize that the movie was written by Antwone Fisher. The story centers around (4) teenage friends …

My daughter spends a great deal of time watching some of the newer episodes of Strawberry Shortcake. So, as a bit of a change, I got her one of the older episodes of the show.
While the only noticeable difference in Big Country Fun compared to other Strawberry Shortcake movies …

I had heard great things about this show from several different people. I remember seeing it occasionally back when it was on Saturday mornings, but I didn’t watch it regularly simply because I had no clue who most of the characters were.
I picked up the DVD …

Whether you are a Woody Allen fan or not, Crimes & Misdemeanors is an excellent movie and I think it is one of his best, but I think you have to have a tendency to be philosophical about the deeper issues in life if you are to enjoy it. …

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 …

Bridge of Spies is a notable biography directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Matt Charman, Ethan Coen and Joel Coen. I had the choice between Martian and Bridge Of Spies, and I went to watch Bridge of Spies not on the grounds that Martian is an awful movie, but …

During the early to mid ’60s, renowned horror film writer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. The third installment to a set of three definitive splatter films, known as “The Blood Trilogy”, Color Me Blood Red kept the “blood” theme going strong. After viewing the film, …

This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …

Blair Witch Project 2 is a movie that I like because of Jeffery Donovan, but that’s about it. I had seen the movie a long time ago when it was still in the theater, and thought it was so-so. At least it’s better than the first movie. It picks …

Even though this film has been out quite a while now I have only just came around to watching it and if you’re into martial arts or the Chinese culture and tradition then you will be interested in this film start to end.
Jet Li plays Huo Yuanjia, son …

I like to watch movies from the past because it’s a way for me to step into another era, get lost there, walk around and leave with a dialect and mind set unlike what’s heard these days. Sometimes I become nostalgic of the 70’s, even though I wasn’t born …

In the late nineteen nineties and the early 2000s, I became a very big fan of the series and the Tales of the Crypt movies. One of my favourite movies at the time was the one called Bordello of Blood. I watched it recently though and thought that it …

Synopsis: FBI agents attempt to catch a killer stalking a group of people participating in an on-line chatroom.
What I liked about this movie: I’m a big fan of movies that have a realistic plot and there’s nothing more realistic than someone stalking people they met online and murdering them. …

I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …

I had read the book a few years back, and I honestly never thought they would ever make a movie about it since it was literally just a bunch of letters that people had written to ask questions about their relationships. So, when I heard that the movie for …

While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …

My wife and I have been watching the Rob Zombie re-makes of the films Halloween and Halloween II. Since we couldn’t remember anything about the original (she’s never seen it and it has been quite a few years since I last watched it), we figured we would rent the …

Directed by Paul Greengrass and based on the Robert Ludlum novel, Bourne Ultimatum will be recognized as the best movie in the series. Action packed and a lot of loose ends are tied up.

While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …

I had not seen the original The Longest Yard, but heard it was a very popular movie. The main reason I went to see the remake which was made in 2005 is that I like Adam Sandler. Sometimes his movies are a little too silly, but I …

Traitor came out and was hoping to bank off of the success of other films. It didn’t work too well but can the video release at least shed some life on Don Cheadle’s action movie?
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) sells weapons to terrorists. When a sale in Yemin goes …

I viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. I found the fifth Harry Potter film to be the darkest of them. Possibly, because of Harry’s general anger in this film.
I actually liked the movie better than the book. I am normally the type …

“Satisfyingly adult in its depiction of female sexuality” - that’s an endorsement from LA Weekly for this movie.

God bless him, Tim Burton has taken Irving Washington’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow and turned it into a first class horror movie and a beautiful romance too. I’ve always disliked the original tale because, despite his flaws, you care about Ichabod Crane and you want him to get the …

This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …

This movie just came out a month or so ago, I believe (2009). I went to see on the Fourth of July with my family. Although I am a bit old for these movies (Up was meant for kids), I thought it was an amazing movie. I enjoyed the …
