Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
The lead star of this movie is Milla Jovivich. This movie is the second part of the trilogy, Resident Evil. This part 2 of the trilogy is entitled, Apocalypse.
With truly amazing special effects, even breath-taking movie that can really make the viewers shout and feel the suspense. I think …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
Saw 3
Saw 3 is a horror movie. There is a two movies before this: Saw and Saw 2. All of them are unpredictable when it’s going to end.
I saw this film in cinema and was something. This movie is not like all horror movies where some guy with a chainsaw …
Santa with Muscles-film
I recently watched a comedy oriented Christmas film called santa with muscles starring the wrestler Hulk Hogan. Movies with Hulk Hogan as a lead are not too good and have average appeal.However,this film is a shame to the rest of Hogan’s movies. It was basically about a rich dude who …
Spiderman 3
Another love story, that’s what I said to my friends after watching it. I don’t want to spoil it for others who might want to go and spend some dough on this romantic adventure. I know, most people loved the effects and cinematography, but I’m not after an award …
Movie: “Grandma’s Boy” (2006)
Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.
Alex (Covert) is a 35-year-old video game …

Finn’s Girl movie
“Satisfyingly adult in its depiction of female sexuality” - that’s an endorsement from LA Weekly for this movie.
The cover’s poster is two woman holding each other tight and smiling happily, as they’re in love. So i guess this is a lesbian movie, right? But not the one you …
Franklyn, British film by Gerald McMorrow
The question I asked myself while watching Franklyn on blu-ray was how do these four stories come together? The back of the case suggests that it all comes together at some point but I am not seeing it. Does Franklyn have bull shit written all over it or is …

Doomsday (2008)
To be quite honest, I was expecting a lot more from Neil Marshall than this. After the likes of “Dog Soldiers” and “The Descent”, you’d have thought he’d have something more imaginative to offer up than this pretty weak and often downright silly science fiction yarn that rarely impresses …
Just Friends
Another movie that I just watched recently along with Mall Cop with Kevin James was the movie ‘Just Friends’ starring Ryan Reynolds, who plays a chubby teenager with braces and a desperate crush on his best friend who he has known since the sixth grade. Humiliated beyond repair at a …

This flick is a nice blend of action and comedy. The comedy however is not in performance, but the characters do have a good sense of humor. The story’s abt two cops Tango and Cash, that were wrongly accused in a case, and are convicted and send to …
Lipstick & Dynamite film
Women’s wrestling is once again becoming a popular form of entertainment but very few of today’s fans understand the history behind it. The documentary Lipstick & Dynamite tries to fill people in on that.

Spirited Away (2001 film)
One of my favorite Japanese directors Hayao Miyazaki, has done a wonderful job in creating the 2001 Japanese animation “Spirited Away”. The characters in this movie are relatable and ones that I quickly fell in love with, and I am sure that many other people can truly enjoy this …

This movie is a great family movie to watch, it is an inspiring movie for children for giving them an idea of not giving up to what they are not good at but to find other talents that they are really passionate about.
Not only does this movie gives …
Slumdog Millionaire
There has been a lot of reviews about this famous movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ so why another review? Well I want to express the views of many Indians like me who dare to think different.
It is made by a British director Danny Boyle, so it may …

Serendipity
I think that the best way to describe the movie “Serendipity” is John Cusack’s success movie as an attempt to return to his origins. We can remember that in the being of his career Cusack was involved in the successful movie project “The Sure Thing”. “Serendipity” is Cusack’s version …
Girl, Interrupted
Girl, Interrupted is a very good attempt by the makers of the movie. The movie which is inspired by the book with the same title, deals with a teenage girl’s experiences at a rehabilitation center during her 18 month stay there. Though the movie doesn’t have a universal appeal, …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
The Phantom (Movie)
The Phantom is a movie that stands out in my mind as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sadly though my memories never actually live up to the real movie. Every few years I re-watch the movie, and every time I end up feeling a …
First Harry Potter Movie

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 …
P.S. I love You
When I picked up the movie P.S. I Love You, I expected it to be a tear jerker. What I found was, not only did it not move us to tears, we had a hard time keeping our eyes open.
While I loved the concept behind it, a man dies …
Halloween (1978 movie)
I love horror movies, and the original “Halloween” from 1978 is the one that started it all for me. I was too young to see it when it was first shown in theaters, so I actually didn’t get the opportunity to watch it until I reached my twenties. And …
Movie Blast
When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”

John Wayne was one of the most patriotic personalities in America. He was devout in his devotion, and he was very vocal. Not everyone agreed with him or liked him, but The Duke put his money where his mouth was, including producing and directing this military picture in …
District 9 movie
District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.
District 9 is a section set aside for the insect-like aliens that also inhabit Earth. It’s basically a slum, …
Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.
It was definitely a cute film. Doogal is a dog who, along with a group of his friends, has to defeat an evil wizard …
In the Mix Movie
At the time this movie was being filmed, I was absolutely obsessed with Usher Raymond and he was one of the main characters. Every time the movie trailer came on, I watched it as if it was the first time I had watched it. I was literally counting down …
The Princess Bride (1987)
I have always loved fairy tale movies and The Princess Bride, wonderfully directed by Rob Reiner, is one of my favorites of all-time. It is a love story with a comical twist, and it’s just an absolutely fabulous film that has all the elements of a timeless classic. This …
