Nine to Five movie (1980)
I remember seeing “Nine to Five” for the first time when I was only twelve years old. I loved it then, and I love it just as much today. I still like to watch parts of it whenever it appears on TV. To all the ladies out there, this …

Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …
Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …

Movie: A Walk To Remember
Anyone who knows me know I am not exactly a romance fan when it comes to movies. Yet, I can be a softy too and one of the movies that gets me everytime I see it is A Walk To Remember. Based off a Nicholas Sparks book …

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …
The Queens of Comedy (stand-up comedy)
For a stand-up comedy genre; and if you want something totally hilarious just for fun’s purpose, do rent The Queens of Comedy. Highly rated by most and I was trying to find out what the fuss is all about with this and truly arguably, I think this works a …
Call Me Madam musical
In 1953, Twentieth Century-Fox released the marvelous musical, Call Me Madam with Ethel Merman, Donald O’Connor, and Vera-Ellen. It’s high-powered, high-energy, and high-five fun. I love these kind of innocent musicals where the story is lighthearted and the songs merry. Oh, there’s some heartbreak and drama …

Erin Brockovich movie
The movie Erin Brockovich is a very inspiring movie. She was a single mom of three that proved that she could make it. I was really impressed how she fought for the people in the town against a big company.
Even though the film is loosely based on a true …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN DVD
I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …
Alien 1 1979 Director’s Cut Blu-Ray Movie
Alien. Just the name of the movie series has inspired fear and the knowledge that I was going to see some kind of creepy and out-of-this-world frightening creature that was going to come out of the darkness and shadows to make me want to jump out of my skin. …
Dan in Real Life
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Dan in Real Life, starring Steve Carell. Carell plays Dan Burns, a newspaper columnist who writes about family issues and relationships. His wife has died recently and he’s struggling as a widower, trying to raise three girls. Trying to keep his family …
Cleopatra movie
There was a time when Hollywood was flooded with films about the ancient Rome. Some of these were very successful, others weren’t. Cleopatra goes in the second category. The incredibly beautiful Elizabeth Taylor plays the queen Cleopatra of Egypt, a most powerful woman who is not easily corrupted. Only …
Knowing movie
I watched the movie “Knowing” online a little after it was released in theatres since at the time I had no money to see it. Sometimes when I watch movies online, the movie does not appear to be half as good as it seems when I watch it on …
DNAngel Episode 5 (Anime)
DNAngel Episode 5 has Risa and Riku switching places with each other after Risa fails in cooking class. Daisuke has to peal cabbages too and tries to get out of it to get to his next thieving assignment.
This was a pretty fun episode. I enjoyed it and it …
Spice And Wolf Episode 3 (Anime)
Spice and Wolf Episode 3 begins as Lawrence and Holo arrive in a city to meet Zeelen. Lawrence decides to sell his first before he meets with Zeelen to discuss their deal.
This episode was very interesting because it showed how Lawrence and Holo try to make money as …
Redrum
“Redrum” is possibly one of the silliest movies I have ever watched. I am not quite sure why the movie is being aired on the television in the first place, or why someone would want to spend money on making a movie such as this as I found everything …
Air Force One
Out of Harrison Ford’s movies, the film Airforce One might actually be one of the most underrated.
In the film, Harrison plays the United States President and is kidnapped onboard the presidential plane, along with his family. And, unlike many other presidents, who might sit and do nothing, he ends …
Harry Potter 5 movie Order of the Phoenix
I saw this about a week after it came out and because I am a Harry Potter fan, I was pretty excited. However I also didnt have my hopes up because like they all say and I have experienced it many times myself, the movie is never as good …
Mary Poppins
Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …
Die Hard II
We like movies, a whole lot and that is one of our favorite pasttimes. There are movies that are today’s classics, these are the movies that you would not mind seeing again and again.
I personnally like Bruce Willis as an actor. When I saw the first …
Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …
Bad News Bears
I was flipping channels today and came across the original Bad News Bears on one of the movie channels. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie and I have to admit it is much better than I remember it.
The interesting thing about Bad News Bears is, while …
The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back(1980) directed by Irvin Kershner and produced by George Lucas is an example of one of the finest science fiction films made in the 1980s and of any era. Due to the fact that the other films were released, they all did something which was quite …
Clash Of the titans
In my opinion Clash of the titans is not all it is hyped up to be by all the reviews, it didn’t seem as enticing as most action/adventure movies seem to be. It is about mythology so you would expect there to be a lot of fighting, also it …
50 First Dates movie
Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …
Pacific Heights
Lately I have been watching movies on lifetime and lifetime movie network and most of them have been pretty good. One that I want to recommend is called Pacific Heights. It has Melanie Griffith and Micheal Keaton in it. It’s about a guy who rents a room from this …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
Crank
By “Crank”, movie directors, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor managed to find a new formula how to make entertaining action movies. In this movie be prepared to see the actor, Jason Statham like you have never seen him before.
I can’t seem to decide whether I like more “Crank” or …
Only Lovers Left Alive (movie)
As I mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the actor Tom Hiddleston, not just because of his acting, but because I think he’s just downright handsome and charming. I remember that a little after the “Avengers” movie I began to wonder what other future projects he might have, …
Cirque du Freak - The Vampire’s Assistant
I recently caught this movie while flipping through HBO, and I had to write a review on it since I’m an avid vampire fan.
Cirque du Freak is a very unique vampire film for it deals with a number of issues that plague teenagers today, like friendship, parents, life and …
Yes Man movie
Yes Man is another great comedy starring Jim Carey. The movie hit the number one spot in office this weekend and it did better than Will Smith’s Seven Pounds. The movie is a success. You will get nothing but laugh with Jim Carey. There is a lot of laugh. …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
Angels & Demons Movie
Having read this book, I can say the movie is quite acceptable compared to the other movies also derived from novels such as the Harry Potter series, here in this movie and novel I can say that the movie didn’t deviate as much as the other films did and …
50 Whodunit?s Classics DVD Set

Wanted DVD
I was not familiar with Wanted. So when I and a friend of mine decided to watch it, I really had nothing to expect (except for a very hot Angelina Jolie, which is very obvious on the DVD cover).
The moment the movie started, I was instantly hooked. James McAvoy, …
Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I always get overly entertained and would laugh like mad whenever I see performances by Adam Sandler. He has done it again this time and made me laugh like a crazy hyena in the newly title and newly released, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.
Zohan is …

This one is a great movie. I just loved this movie. It released on 24th of February, 2006. This film is directed by Milan Luthria who has done a brilliant job. This movie is pretty different from the typical Bollywood films. The protagonist of the film is played by …

Tyler Perry’s The Family that Preys
I don’t normally watch movies by Tyler Perry. I find the subject matter to be kind of trite. Additionally, it often seems like the sets are too artificial looking. The best of the best are always the stars of these films in terms of …
Transformers
This is a really great movie and i gotta be honest i thought that it was going to suck big time, but to my surprise it had some amazing special effects, the story was very linear and the acting and editing was quite good. It had some bits with …
