The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …

Two of my absolute favorite actors of all time, Anthony Quinn and Laurence Olivier, appear in this film about the russian Kyril Lakota, who after 20 years in a siberian prison is elected as the new pope. I don’t have to mention the acting is brilliant I guess, but …

When I rented Annapolis on DVD this weekend, I was expecting another great military movie. What I got was a good boxing movie with a little bit of military in the background.

Even though it was considered as a popular award winning movie I had never gotten a chance to finish watching “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Nearly eight years after it was released in 2008, I finally got took the chance to finish watching it. While I had heard …

Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …

The Toolbox Murders is a well known “slasher” film released in 1978. I had heard good about the name before and, being a huge horror film enthusiast, I figured it was well worth giving a view. After seeing the film, I feel that it was a good film that …

I didn’t really like this episode a lot at all. The problem with Avenger is that it tries to …

Goodfellas is a very funny yet violent movie. I think the humor in it was just great. This is a mobster movie, and Joe Pesci is of course in it. Joe Pesci was great and did a good job of acting in the movie. Overall the cast was really good …

“Nine Queens” is a 2000 movie from Argentina about grifters or con-men. The movie is in Spanish but the DVD comes with a choice of subtitles. The movie is in color and was filmed on locations throughout Buenos Aires.
Ostensibly the movie is about two con-men: Juan, played by …

I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …

The movie “Charlotte’s Web” is one of the cutest movies I can ever remember watching. After seeing it I think that it is something that not just children, but the entire family will enjoy. I loved nearly everything about it. I have never gotten a chance to read the …

Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …

Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …

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 …

My Husband and I liked and own the first 300 movie (called The 300). For those who have never seen it, it tells the tale of the battle of 300 lone Spartan soldiers against a huge army and the powerful Xerxes. We watch the original 300 fairly frequently and …

This movie is considered one of the worst of all time. Maybe THE worst of all time. It’s directed by the worst director of all time, Ed Wood. So many people hated this movie when it came out in the 1950s. All I have to say is this: I …

Just when you thought that it was safe to back into the water, dun dun…dun dun…dun dun…the had to go ahead and spoil a perectly good original movie with the crappy “Son of the Mask”. Tell me, why did they feel the need to create a sequel, was it …

Wow, that was a major mistake.
I hadn’t seen the movie Norbit in a long time and couldn’t remember if I liked it or hated it so I ended up watching it again last night. Again, a big freaking mistake. I would have been better off watching the home shopping …

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …

The retired old commander named McHale is recalled to the navy after his arch enemy takes over the Island San Marino.
Stupid, stupid movie that almost makes me laugh at how amateurishly made it is. Bruce Campbell is almost charming, but the fact is that he always appeared in second …

This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …

It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …

I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …

I loved this movie. Jim Carrey proves once again that he has some real talent, not just silly-funny gestures and faces. He plays a movie writer who loses his memory after a car accident and is mistakenly recognized as a missing war hero in a small town. He just …

Peter Jackson is one of my favourite directors. Also movies such as those in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit franchise are some of my favourites. Therefore it was definitely a given that I had to watch the last installment in the Hobbit movies, “The Hobbit: The Battle …

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 viewed The Associate starring Whoopie Goldberg. This moive is very funny.
Whoopi Goldberg plays Laurel Ayres. A woman executive who finds it hard to get promotions and even recognition. She creates a male associate.
This creates almost continuous humor. Ayres pretends to work with Robert …

I watched Dus on TV. It released last year in 2005. This film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie is an action film. The action sequences are good but what is missing in this film is a proper story line. The story line is really stupid. The director, …

Sergio Leone created a whole new style of western films back in the 1960s with the so-called dollar trilogy. I am a big fan of these films, and in courting to most people The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is the most important of these films. Leone used …

From the beginning scene of the aftermath of a violent drug scene gone bad through the end this movie features a series of violent scenes. All the men seem bent on men trying to cowboy up and deal with the problem in true Texas fashion: with more violence. Don’t …

To say that this movie is filthy, obscene, and disgusting is to say nothing. In the opening scene, a ten year old boy named Charlie upsets a girl, who is also ten but behaves like a prostitute. The girl is obviously into witchcraft, and she “hexes” Charlie. The hex …

I finally got a chance to watch the movie Passengers, which has been sitting rented from Netflix for about two weeks now. It was OK but not great.

This is easily the worst movie I have seen in recent times, this is a dubbed version of a south Indian movie with the same name. Movie has Nagarjuna in the lead playing an Indian Don with a god father type of Persona, he helps the other weak people …

OK, I have to admit that House of Fears makes me go all creepy. However, the movie is kind of dark and it’s quite irritating to say. I wish that most haunted movies would be clearer and not having a dark effect.
I am not really sure …

I have just watched the film Coraline and I must say it was quite charming. If you have seen the trailer, this movie may seem as if it is intended for just a younger audience, but that is not the case. While it does a good job at …
