For about three years or so the film “Alexander” was one of my favourite movies until I realised recently that it might not necessarily have been because it was a good movie. However, there is a good chance that I liked it because three of my celebrity crushes at …

Street Kings Movie
I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.
I …
The Women movie
I have seen this movie when my cousin rented it back in the holidays. It is another chick flick, Sex and The City-ish kind of movie. Well, its my kind of movie. I love watching pretty women who deals with issues of life including marriage, friendship, parenthood and career. This …
Movie Peter Pan

Farce of the Penguins (2007) Movie
Farce of the Penguins starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bob Saget was just that, “Farce.”
If one likes crude humor from cute cuddly cartoon characters then this is the movie for them. The whole story’s purpose was to be the parody of the movie, “March of the Penguins” which depicts …
Chocolat
Remember the movie Chocolat? I would have to say that this was one of my most favorite movies during the early millenium period. Starring Juliette Binoche (nice name), Alfred Molina, Judi Dench and other cast, this movie is a success. The storyline goes roughly around the main …
Strawberry Shortcake: Big Country Fun

While the only noticeable difference in Big Country Fun compared to other Strawberry Shortcake movies …

From Beyond movie
Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …
Mr. Brooks (2007)
Ah, Mr. Brooks…this is a movie I can wrap my mind around and just linger in for awhile. A very nice psychotic drama featuring the ever talented Kevin Costner as the mass murdering serial killer Earl Brooks. I finer film this year under the genre of crime has yet …
Exam (movie)
After watching the movie Exam last night, I can’t help thinking that it was one of the best psychological thrillers that I watched in a long while. This was despite the barely above average rating that it had received on its IMDB page. I think that the rating was …
Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …
Death Live in L.A. (Death & Raw) DVD REVIEW
It was 2001 when Chuck Schuldiner made one of his last presentations with Death before withdrawing from the metal scene due to his battle against cancer. This DVD is not only a recording of this concert, which took place in a reknown L.A. house called ‘Whisky a Go Go’, …
Arthur and the Invisibles movie
One of the things which really stuck out about the partly animated “Arthur and the Invisibles” was the animation. I can remember thinking it was unlike any I had ever seen and it helped to rekindle my excitement of wanting to go into animation and special effects in the …

Torture Garden dvd
I honestly did not expect much from this movie as soon as I saw the title. However, I decided to try it anyway, and was actually quite surprised to see that it wasn’t have as bad as I expected when I watched it. While I expected that it would …
Movie Graveyard painfully predictable
Now that I have digital cable with plenty of movie channels to choose from, my nightly ritual is finding a good movie to watch before bed.
Graveyard is not one of those films.
The 2006 movie takes place at an abandoned summer camp (of course) and focuses on a group of …

Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …
Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
Pan’s Labyrinth, directed by Guillermo del Toro is rated R by the Potion Picture Association of America for graphic violence and some language. The original release date for this movie was October 11, 2006 for Spain audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Fantasy/Thriller and stars Ivana Baguero …
Half Baked movie
I used to love Cheech and Chong movies when I was younger, so when I saw this film, I thought it would be something that would pay tribute to what they accomplished.
What I found was another stoner movie that really wasn’t that great.
The acting in the movie was terrible …
Resident Evil Apocalypse movie
Resident Evil Apocalypse is the second phase of Andersson’s work, linked to the successful game title Resident Evil.
This sequel, which would have been completely different from the first one, has made a lot of changes, but it remains steryl in the story.
Andersson, in fact, complicates his work introducing the …
By the sea Movie
A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …
Your Friends and Neighbors (R, 1998) movie
Usually I really like those films that take place in New York, and follow groups of friends around in their fabulously “mundane” single lives. This one was a little odd. I realize that the movie is over 10 years old. But I think it’s …
Children of a Lesser God
“Children of a Lesser God” is a great, touching movie with dramatic and romantic moments mixed up together in a very emotional script. One of the assets of this movie is that it has two main great actors William Hurt and Marlee Martin. This movie was nominated …
Walk the Line
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon do a phenomenal job portraying Johhny Cash and June Carter. They even did their own singing, as I found out, which is impressive. They do a fantastic job with everything in this film.
Upon watching the commentary, I was pleased to discover that …
The Kindred horror film
I’d always wanted to see the horror film The Kindred. It was primarily because I’d seen the ad for it in the newspaper when I was a little girl. I thought it looked properly creepy. It said something about someone having a brother they didn’t know about, and it …

Dora the Explorer DVD We’re a Team
I recently purchased one of the newer Dora the Explorer DVD’s “We’re a Team” for my daughter. Overall, I think it was a great purchase.

How to lose a guy in 10 days
How to lose a guy in 10 days is a nice romantic movie and is one of the best romantic movies of this decade. Matthew McConaughey played the central characters in this movie and they are adorable as a pair. Andie (played by Kate Hudson) is a journalist for …
Silk
Silk is one of those shows that I watch and I get goosebumps. It feels like the man in the story is suffering and that he has to suffer just because of a passion. Perhaps if this happens in my community, we would think that the woman has …
Monsters Inc. Movie
The animation company Pixar did this film before the incredibly successful Shrek series. The story is that of a parallell world to the one humans live in. The other world is made of cute little monsters that sees it as their life missions to scare humans.
The story of this …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
OK, as far as Raiders of the Lost Ark is concerned, it�s a great movie in terms of action sequences and special effects, but the script leaves a little to be desired.
The first in the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Raiders of the Lost Ark has a slightly harder task …

Resident Evil: Apocalypse
I finally got a chance to watch the second part of the Resident Evil series; Apocalypse. And, overall, I think I liked the movie; though I did feel a few of the things were a bit unrealistic.
This movie takes place shortly after the first one and puts together a …
“In the Loop” movie 2009
In the loop is a political satire that is at times somewhat funny, but other times grossly overdone. The profanity is so extreme that it makes the film seem too unrealistic even for a satire. This film gives character to a hypothetical U S Government, and a hypothetical U K …
Movie Waterworld
For some reason, my husband loves “Waterworld.” I love my husband, but I loathe and detest this film.
It’s hard to believe that this 1975 cinematic “messterpiece” was one of the most expensive movies ever made. Maybe they spent a lot of the money on the sets …
The Mask
This is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. The story is about Jim Carry who accidentally finds a mask and acquires super natural power by wearing it. Whole story deals with the adventure of carry which he does after wearing the mask. This movie has got …
She’s All That
In 1984, teens used to relate a lot with the romantic movie “Sixteen Candles”. “She’s All That” is a 1999 teen generation movie similar to “Sixteen Candles” but only much better. Thanks to this movie the three main actors Freddie Prize Jr., Rachael Lee Cooke and Jodi …
2 Guns movie
The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …
