Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …
A Knight’s Tale (2001)
I have always enjoyed great fantasy movies, and one of my favorites is “A Knight’s Tale,” which stars the late, great Heath Ledger as Sir William Thatcher, better known as Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland. Ledger, who was an incredibly talented actor, was absolutely amazing in this movie. …

I forgot the names of …
Orphan Movie
“Orphan” is a thriller about a young orphan named Esther. As the movie progress the plot takes a turn which not only surprised me but probably surprised a lot of other people who went to see it.
The movie begins with a dream sequence which is where we’re introduced to …
Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …
Movie Truman
Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …
Daredevil movie
“Daredevil” is a 2003 movie starring Ben Affleck as Daredevil, The Man Without Fear. Daredevil is my all-time favorite Marvel Comics superhero, and I watched this movie the first time with high hopes. My high hopes were dashed by the first viewing, but I probably still like …

I feel the need to review this movie because I find it to be the most underrated movie of all time. As you can probably tell, this is currently my favorite movie. I’m not going to write the normal kind of movie review. Instead, I am just going to …
The Bucket List
Oh my goodness. What a movie this is ! It has Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholsen. Two incredibly talented actors. Morgan Freeman is so well spoken, and Jack Nicholsen, well, he’s just Jack Nickelson; awesome. Put the two in a movie together and it makes a great movie.
The Bucket …
Pollyanna
I am reviewing the movie, Pollyanna, starring Haley Mills. Anyone who has a little girl will enjoy this movie. I think you’ll enjoy it anyway, even if you haven’t. Pollyanna is about a little girl who is sent to live with her very rich aunt Polly. A …
Reeker
Reeker is darn scary. You should rent this and watch; it is awesomely scary and something that I would truly opt for if you want to watch in a group, say on a scary Friday night with the weekend in tow and nothing to do.
The plot goes …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …
Aliens
Aliens is probably one of the movies that can scare me till this day. The monsters in this movie are pretty terrifying. I think that this movie may have been where they got the idea for the game Doom. Because this movie was very freaky. I think the music and …
The Gravedancers movie
Cast: Dominic Purcell (Harris), Josie Maran (Kira), Clare Kramer (Allision), Marcus Thomas (Sid), Tcheky Karyo (Vincent) Megahn Perry (Frances)
It is always better to be safe than sorry. Just like these guys (and girl) who got drunk and danced on graves; and their misfortune to have chosen …
Happy Accidents
The movie “Happy Accidents” should be a mix of old time romance and fantasy so that to attract both women and men to the cinema. The end result of this movie is that to achieve a lousy movie that doesn’t seem to go any where. What is incredible about …
Sentinal movie
Last night, I watched Sentinal with Keiffer Sutherland and Michael Douglas. Although the movie did not get great reviews, I really liked it. It was action-packed, steamy, mysterious, and it kept me from falling asleep, that’s for sure! I thought that Michael Douglas did a fabulous job …
Columbo: Columbo Goes to College movie
Columbo: Columbo Goes to College is one of my favorite movie editions of the Columbo series. Robert Culp has a great role as a prominent community figure who has to deal with his college student son being involved in the murder of one of his college professors. …
Dead Birds movie
“Dead Birds” is one of my friend’s favourite horror movies, and he kept insisting that I watch it, and so I did. Up to now, I still think the movie, which I believe is a low budget B-rated horror film, is one of the best B-rated horror films …
Gandhi (1982)
I really admired the movie Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. From the boring history books that I read from high school and from classroom discussions that did not give me as much information as I need, the personality that I had been curious about finally came to …
Movie Red Eye
Red Eye is a very engaging thriller with a very gripping plot and equally gripping screen play. The movie stars Rachel Mcadams and Cillian Murphy in the main roles. Rachel McAdams does a very fine job and her performance needs special appreciation. The performance of Cillian Murphy, who plays …
Case of the Tyrant’s Daughter

Misery
Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …
Do Not Disturb movie
Doris Day stars with Rod Taylor in Do Not Disturb. It’s not a big favorite of mine, and it’s not as fun or entertaining as her movies with Rock Hudson and James Garner were. While Taylor’s other outing with Day, The Glass Bottom Boat, was a winner …
The Bonfire Of The Vanities Movie

Salt ( 2010 Movie )
I was really anticipating this film ever since I first saw its trailer. It opened today and I hurriedly watched the last full show. The movie just got a passing mark in Rottentomatoes.com. It says ” the plot was predictable and ludicrous”.
I dissent.
Evelyn Salt ( Angelina …

Star Power : None of great note.
Synopsis : Three highschool seniors take a weekend trip to check out a college.

The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
Wise Girls
I watched Wise Girls the other day and I was surprised that this is a pretty good story with a rather interesting plot. Mira Sorvino stars as Meg and with 2 other actresses, they play the role of a waitress and it’s quite scary to think of it because …
Skyfall (action movie)
I stopped being a James Bond fan years ago, and honestly, I can’t even remember why. This is why I ended up missing Casino Royale. Nevertheless, after I decided to try watching Skyfall recently, I enjoyed it so much, that I’m actually eagerly awaiting the release of the next James …
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a crazy musical that is raunchy and often inappropriate for the mainstream and yet is funny and delightful to watch. The language is way too much for my tastes, but I choose to grit my way through this movie because I …
The Runaways Movie
I watched The Runaways last night not knowing what the story was about. My sister-in-law asked me to watch it and tell her the gist of the story so that she can be included at some of their little chit-chats at the office. She feels a little …
Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …
Knocked up
This movie starring Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl as Alison Scott and Seth Rogan (Cal from the 40 year old virgin)as Ben was hilarious. Alison goes out clubbing to celebrate a promotion at work, she meets up with Ben and they have a one night stand. …
