Schindler’s List Movie 1993
I was only 13 years old when this movie was shown in theaters, Rated-R as it is, it sends curiosity in my mind as i hear people talk about it everywhere. A Steven Spielberg Film, all would have judged it even without seeing the film, with high expectations of …
Enchanted
I have heard mixed reviews about Enchanted around the web, so I decided to add my two cents. I thought this was a beautiful movie. It includes all the romanticism a Disney “princess” movie should, while adding the real life element to set it apart, and including references to …

IMDb
IMDb is the international movies database, and for good reason. The sheer size of the amount of movies covered on this website is simply unsurpassed, I’d say. Every movie has a page, even if all is listed is a simple title. But rest assured, that situation will only persist …

Debra Messing, Martin Lawrence, Billy Connolly and Ashton Kutcher supplied some of the …
10 Cloverfield Lane, movie
Given the name of the film and the crew behind it, one wouldn’t be wrong to think that this was somehow related to the found footage giant monster movie, “Cloverfield”.
You can tell that it isn’t a direct sequel, but I did figure it was some kind of spin-off. …
Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …

The Prestige movie
The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …
Twenty Bucks movie
How a twenty dollar bill travels from person to person in an american town is the whole plot of this film. A very interesting idea indeed, but it isn’t put to work in the way i would have hoped for. Instead of focusing on the characters the bill is …
Moulan Rouge movie
Moulan Rouge is the kind of movie that people either really love or really hate. It is a musical but contains no original music. Normally I would think this was a weakness, but the theme of the movie is a nightclub that caters to a generation of young people …

Get Smart
I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …

Beethoven - The Pooch Pack (DVD 2006)
All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.

Untraceable Movie
I must have seen this movie advertise only once or twice before it hit theaters. In fact, in the few times I saw it advertise, I was almost completely sure that the movie would be just another mediocre suspense which Hollywood tried to shove on the average movie goer. …
Kung Fu Panda
I am not a big fan of animated films. I watch them every now and then, but I am not so keen on seeing them. But when I saw the trailer of Kung Fu Panda, I instantly want to watch it. The trailer was cool, the story and also …

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …

This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …

Green Zone movie is based on the American invasion of Iraq and the truth behind it. I reckon its one of the best Non-Friction movie made this year and the truth behind the Iraq war has really been well told by the movie. Really liked the Matt Damon’s acting …

The Happening movie
I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. I jokingly suggested to my roommate that we rent it, he took me seriously and added it to our netflix queue. I was truly expecting “Batman and Robin” or “Catwoman” levels of bad. Truthfully, it’s not …

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (the movie)
This is the first movie of the Harry Potter series and the best one according to me. In this movie all the characters have been introduced and the magical world makes it first appearance. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) makes his appearance as Harry Potter in this film. Harry Potter …
LAND OF THE DEAD movie
LAND OF THE DEAD
It seemed that George Romero would never make another zombie film. Twenty years had passed since the release and flop of the over-rated DAY OF THE DEAD and nary a new Romero Zombie film was in sight.
Actually, this film was bouncing around in development for a …
Cry-Baby movie
Last week I watched a movie called Cry-Baby with my girlfriend as she’s found a fascination with Johnny Depp and this is I believe his first major role in a movie. To be very honest, my expectations for this movie were extremely low and I honestly didn’t expect …
Brothers In Arms Movies
Ok, i bought this movie because of the front cover. You know the sayng “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”? well it also applies to dvd covers.

Frozen Fever (2015 Animated Short Film)
After over a year, the long awaited sequel to the smash hit Frozen has finally arrived and I have to say that it is a major disappointment.
The story is awfully slight and I know that they couldn’t do much in 7 minutes, but this is too slight regardless. The birthday …
Eva Nera (1976) movie

St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …
