Drag me to Hell Movie
Prior for me watching the film I have heard a lot of good deeds about this horrific supernatural movie “Drag Me to Hell” from my office mates and from the news paper. I have not given a chance to watch it earlier but when I did I can’t …

The great debaters
I thought that the movie the Great Debaters was an excellent movie. I know that there are a lot of movies like this one, about racism or slavery but this is a good movie. It isn’t like all the rest; it is a totally different movie. It’s …
Untraceable (R, 2008) movie
“Hostel”, “FearDotCom”, “The Ring”—If you’ve seen any of the following movies, then you will be more than prepared for this tale of psycho-twisted horrific suspense. At the helm of this mini-gore feast is Diane Lane, claiming the role of a slightly wizened FBI agent. She’s …
Laws of Attraction
I must have watched “Laws of Attraction” more than 10 times and I still enjoy watching it and watching it. I like this romantic movie so much because there is great on screen chemistry between the three main actors involved in it Pierce Brosnon, Julianne Moore and …

This is the tragic story about three children getting brutally murderded in West Memphis about ten years ago. It’s a documentary style film that follows up the conviction of three teenagers suspected for the murders. The creators of the documentary gives their own view of what happened, and how …

American Vampire
I picked up the movie American Vampire in the $1 section at Walmart and now know why, until I bought it, I had never heard of it.
The movie reminded me a lot of the bad vampire movies that were frequent throughout the 80s. It had it all, teenagers being …

Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.
Black does the voice of Po, a worker in a noodle restaurant who aspires to be a Kung fu master and, through a series of …
Movie Apocalypto
This movie is excellent in every way but I was skeptical until I sat down to watch it. Mel Gibson directs an action packed story-line that grabs your adrenaline first and your heart second. In the beginging of this movie you are introduced to a tribe of early Aztec …
Notes on a Scandal (movie)
Notes on a Scandal, directed by Richard Eyre, is a remarkable movie starring two remarkable actresses: Judy Dench and Cate Blanchett. This Oscar nominated film delves into disturbing territory- it’s plot concerns a young schoolteacher who seeks refuge from a boring marriage and two difficult children in the arms …
Wall-E
I took my entire family to see the Pixar movie Wall-E in June, 2008. Wall-E is a spectacular motion picture that is probably the most “adult” of any movie Pixar has released thus far. I say “adult” not because of any inappropriate content - the little robots …
Finding Nemo
What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …
Unlikely Angel movie
Unlikely Angel is a holiday movie from 1996 which stars Dolly Parton as a rather selfish country music performer (aside from the selfish part, not a big stretch … again) who dies suddenly. Being egotistical, Ruby Diamond can’t enter Heaven without doing a good deed first, so it’s …
The Married Woman movie
Of all the hindi language movies that come out of Bollywood- India’s largest film industry, there are a few that tug at your heart strings. Parineeta meaning the married woman is one such. Based on famed novelist Sarat Chaandra Chattopadhya’s classic literary work by the same name, Parineeta transports …
You don’t mess with the zohan
Whenever Adam Sandler makes a movie, you really never know what you’re going to get. He’s had some film classics like The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore. Then, he’s had movies like You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, that are so terrible, you can’t get through a …
Return of the Jedi
In the third installment of the original Star Wars triology was the Return of the Jedi. I think that this was one exciting movie.
Our list of charachters return with Luke Skywalker now a full fledged Jedi, and part of him, his arm has been replaced with …
Death Proof
I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill, and I love grindhouse films. I hate Death Proof. I like what Quentin Tarantino was aiming for while making the movie; capturing all of the classic grindhouse car chase scenes, hot girls, and fighting, but overall, it could have been so …

10 Things I Hate About You
“10 Things I Hate About You” is a teen movie with a difference because it is based on Shakespeare play “The Taming of the Shrew” with the movie’s story taking place in a modern high school. The people responsible for casting in this movie know how to spot talent …
The Hangover movie
Though it contains crude humor at times, The Hangover is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. The only bad thing I have to say about this movie is that the storyline did not seem to flow very well at a couple points in …
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is a comedy movie starring Woody Allen and Helen Hunt. The movie was directed by Woody Allen. I always liked Woody Allen’s movies and I believe that he is one of the finest directors of Hollywood. He has directed many great movies but …
Hangover 3 Movie
Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …
DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …
I Know Who Killed Me
The other night, my sister and I rented this movie to have a fun night in with junk food and a movie neither of us had ever seen before. It’s a new release, starring Lindsay Lohan. Julia Ormond is also in it, which was nice for me …
Avatar
I went to watch Avatar last night with my girlfriend at our local cinema’s new screen with 3D. It cost us £8 each to get in which is more expensive than normal at that cinema but the extra was because it was a 3D performance. On our way in …
The Immigrant movie
Charlie Chaplin plays an honest man who immigrates to America. As soon as he reaches the new country he runs in to trouble immedietly.
I think this is one of Chaplin’s most underrated short films. The story has a nearly perfect balance between hysterical physical humour and social criticism, and …
Enchanted movie
The story introduced me that the theory of “happily ever after” is just a fairytale. Enchanted shows you the fact, between the fairytale and the realities. Love needs time and everything may be happen when you’re about to find your true love. Well, I guess that was the idea …
Just married (DVD)
This is one of the most hilarious movies that Ashton Kutcher has starred in. This hilarious, romance has to do with a very young couple getting married and the brides family not agreeing with it at all. It puts alot of strain on the beginning of the …
P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?
This has some spoilers, but believe me it is not that great of a movie, the spoilers will not be what ruins the movie, trust me.
My friend brought this movie out as something her mom had gotten from somebody at work, and said it was apparently supposed to …
Gone with the Wind movie
I have been blessed to view the movie Gone with the Wind three times. Once, during an open-air film showing in our school. And twice after I graduated from college, where I felt fortunate to attend two showings of the film after the entire film was restored. …
Movie: Coraline (2009)
I had a chance to watch Coraline a few days ago. I have always been enthusiastic about this movie since last year. Being a fan of Tim Burton’s films, I certainly had high hopes for movies with a similar theme. Coraline had a similar aura; dark, mysterious and enigmatic. …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …
Goosebumps (2015)-Adventure Movie
Spirits, vampires, werewolves, demons and devils are all part of the Halloween tradition but this year Goosebumps are also going to be one of those.The reason behind it is the movie “Goosebumps” which just got released to make your Halloween the best ever.Out of the famous Goosebumps book series written …
Nanny McPhee DVD
Nanny McPhee is a great new movie that will remind you of the old days of Mary Poppins. I got Nanny McPhee last week when it came out of DVD and am really glad that I now own the movie. The movie is about a group of children who …
50 First Dates
I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler but I like Drew Barrymore that’s why I saw the movie 50 First Dates. I didn’t expect that I would like the movie because I never liked Adam Sandler’s style of comedy. I think he’s corny. But surprisingly I liked it …
Guess Who
I must admit that I really enjoy watching Ashton Kutcher’s movies, even though he seem to always present the same type of guy on screen. However the true success of “Guess Who” is entirely to the actor Bernie Mac excellent interpretation of the character Percy Jones.
“Guess who’ is a …
The Boy from Mercury Movie
“The Boy from Mercury” is a touching Irish movie about an 8 year old boy who loses his father and finds himself emotionally estranged from the rest of the family. Nobody seems to understand Harry, no one cares enough to see that his quiet, withdrawn manner is caused by …
X-men Days of Future Past (2014 Film)
I’m not what you would call a super duper die hard fan of X-men comics, but I do enjoy the movies and have followed them since the very first one came out. I was excited for the newest movie in the X-men Days of Future Past, when viewing the trailers. …
Wedding Crasher
This is another romantic comedy movie that I like. Watching Wedding Crashers makes me laugh and touch in a same time.
This movie tell abot two bestfriends John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Gray (Vince Vaughn) who always love to come in the wedding uninvited. Their purpose just to looking …
Movie: Wedding Slashers
My wife and I managed to get the kids in bed by 8 last night and, since today is Thanksgiving and I didn’t have to go to work, we ended up staying up for a change and watching a movie.
We weren’t sure what we wanted to watch so I …
American Reunion (2012 movie)
After seven films of the American Pie series, an average fan would say there is nothing much more to be offered.
Well, I am not a fan, but whatever dissapointments there were with the previous seven if there were some at all, I could …
The movie The Great Mouse Detective
I don’t really remember this movie coming out. I did not even know it existed until I was about 11 and my sister brought it home from the library. However when I did watch it I thought that it was cute.
I liked the idea that it was basically …
Movie: Deck the Halls
It’s Christmas time again and my wife and I are starting to watch some of our favorite Christmas movies for yet another time this year.
One of the movies happened to come on last night just before bed, Deck the Halls. And, I love this movie so much, I stayed …
The Handmaiden (2016 Foreign Film)
I have been longing for this holiday break because my movies watchlist is getting longer and longer. I have more than 50 films to watch out of passion but as soon as the school year starts again next month, I may have trouble watching them all.
Last night I chose to …
The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe
This evening I watched “The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. I had heard mixed reviews, yet I wanted to see this movie for myself.
I had seen the original cartoon movie, way back when.
I have to say I really liked this remake.
I …
