A Troll in Central Park
The first time I heard of the animated movie “A Troll in Central Park” was some time after it was released in the nineteen nineties. I was not a child any more at the time so I did not have much interest in it and I thoguht it was …
Umrao Jaan
Watching Umrao Jaan brought tears to my eyes. This is a Hindi movie in Urdu, I think and if I’m not mistaken. I don’t speak Hindi language nor Urdu and it helps each time whenever I watch a movie of Hindi genre, or Bollywood, there will be subtitles. …
Mr. fix it (2006) movie
Oh my God, this is one of the most stupid movies out there. I don’t even know how in the world can you make a movie that is so bad. And it is very surprising since the actors in the movie are absolutely amazing. The only scenario I can …
Movie: Christmas with the Kranks
When I first saw the movie Christmas with the Kranks, I didn’t think it would be a film I would enjoy. I have seen plenty of Tim Allen movies and have liked maybe only one or two; and I don’t go out of my way to watch those on …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Although my daughter is too young to write reviews, she surely knows how to show if she enjoyed watching a film or not. “Alvin and the Chipmunks” is amongst her favourite and she keeps watching it and watching it. Soon I will start knowing the film script by heart!
Although …

The Death and Life of Bobby Z (2007)
Director: John Herzfeld. Featuring: Paul Walker, Laurence Fishburne.
The movie didn’t get lots of good reviews, and I cannot say that it is a good movie, but I found it very fun to watch anyway. It is quite entertaining and there are really good actors in it. I think …
Final Destination movie
First when I decided review this movie; I had no idea where to start and what to write because the stream of mixed feelings came to my mind about it. A few days ago, when I was with my friends, they asked me to join them; even though I …
Constantine
I recently watched the movie Constantine starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz, and it was very intense. Constantine(Keanu Reeves) are cursed with a gift of recognising half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human camouflage. After a failed attempt to end his life he is marked as …
STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …
The Departed movie
Whenever Martin Scorsese comes out with a new film, I can’t help but become excited, and The Departed did not disappoint. Scorsese brings his wonderful cinematic vision we have seen in such movies of his as Goodfellas and the Raging Bull. The filmaking is also excellent which …
Movie 21
This movie is one of my favorite. Any person that enjoys the movies about bank robbery and hacking type of movies will truly love this film. I have always enjoyed gambling and like many individuals have tried to beat the casinos by trying many different systems. This movie tells …
Movie Flight of Phoenix
‘Flight of Phoenix’ is a movie directd by John Moore. In this movie, pilot Dennis Quaid’s flight crashes on a scorching sandy desert. All the actors play the parts of the survivors of the crash. They are parched and anxious. All these actors have performed their roles wonderfully well. …
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …
300 - The Movie
When one watches the trailer of the movie 300, the next words that come out of their mouths are inexplicably “WoW” or “I gotta watch this.” We’ll I am writing this review to tell you that it is a VERY GOOD idea to follow your instincts because …
Natural Born Killer
Last week when I go visit to my friend’s house, he told me about great movie that he ever watched, then I ask him the title, he doesn’t said anything, he wake up from his couch and get the movie, then he asked me to watched it myself. I …
Hamlet movie
Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …
Turn right, Turn left movie
This movie is really great; It was produced in Hongkong and was starred by a Japanese hearthrob and a singaporean actress. I have enjoyed watching it because of the unique and cute mild love story. The characters have met 10 years ago as a child and have never talked …
Toy Story 3
For those of you that grew up with the magic of Pixar, you most definitely know of the many adventures of toy legends, Woody the cowboy and Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger and all their companions. I speak of the first ever Pixar computer generated animation film, Toy Story.
Now …
Never Been Kissed 1999 movie
Never Been Kissed, with Drew Barrymore, is, in a word, cute. The premise (shy girl gets to go back to high school and try again as part of a newspaper assignment) is fun and resonates with the part of me that knows a lot more than I did when …
Michael Clayton
We went to see the new George Clooney movie last night, Michael Clayton, and I really enjoy Clooney as an actor, but in my opinion, this movie did not bring out his best acting ability. The theme of the movie reminded me of the movie Erin Brockovitch, where the …
27 Dresses Movie
27 Dresses is one of those cute and fluffy movies that you can watch one and then instantly forget about it. It’s not that the movie is necessarily bad, but it just doesn’t make much of an impression. I’ve seen a lot of romantic comedies over the years and …
BlockBuster Total Access
After growing tired of paying for satellite tv and renting movies that I had to spend more time returning than I did watching, I decided to try the service. I get 3 movies at a time, unlimited rentals, free postage paid return envelopes and an easy to use …
Pineapple Express
This is yet another comedy from the Happy Madison production line and is much typical with the plot line we come to expect from these films! Definitely not for the younger viewers and contains 100% adult material!! The movie stars Seth Rogan and James Franco who do an average …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It’s really a shame that I never had a film of Harry Potter with the status of a perfect movie. Each story is so strong, before or after you have never truly inclusive workplace. Of course, the three-ACT-structure can be used, but no information or knowledge to come, but …
Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 movie
Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 held some interest for me here and there, though it’s not something I would normally watch. Hector Elizondo stars as attorney Sandy Stern. Fresh off a victory, he goes home and finds his wife of many years dead, …
Mystic Pizza (1988 Film)
What is there to not love about a movie with a dynamite cast, amazingly relatable and entertaining plot, and an ending that leaves viewers feeling warm and fuzzy and hopeful for their own futures. If you haven’t already guessed, I am talking about the 1988 film, “Mystic Pizza” starring …

Movie : Rumour Has It
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …

The movie No Entry is a very funny comic film. I watched this film on television on its world premiere. The film has been directed by Anees Bazmee. The leading roles have been played by Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Salman Khan, Lara Dutta, Celina Jaitley, Esha Deol, and Bipasha …
Man on Fire film
One of the best action films I have ever seen. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning are the lead cast in this film and a do a superb job to say the least! Denzel plays a lost man trying to find peace, do to a obvious history of violence and …
P2 (R, 2007) movie
I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …
The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …
Hairspray (2007)
This movie is absolutely amazing.
Firstly, the casting of the characters was simply perfect. There’s no denying the newly-discovered Nikki Blonsky IS Tracy Turnblad. She can act, and she can sing (BOYYY, can she sing!). John Travolta is hilarious as Edna Turnblad, and he can really move in that fat …

HOUSE OF WAX REMAKE movie
Umm. Yuck.
I was lucky enough to see the 1981 rerelease of Vincent Price’s original House of Wax in 3-D in theaters and it was a visual treat.
And Price make an incredibly menacing villian. In this tedious, overlong box office dud, we get quite the incredibly
unerotic Paris Hilton deliver the …
Bonnie and Clyde 1967 movie
One scene in the movie of Bonnie and Clyde shows a scared Bonnie running away from Clyde. She runs through a field and Clyde runs after her. They run in shadow. Naturally since it is the 60s, the technology is not in place that would cause …
Calendar Girl movie
I have always loved the genre of musical films. They tend to be more entertaining in my opinion, offering drama in the form of song and dance in addition to the spoken and visual story that we are presented with. What I like about an early musical …
Turner & Hooch
Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors hollywood has ever seen. He proved it by winning two academy awards for his great performances. I recently watched his movie Turner and Hooch on DVD and found the movie very boring and just waste of money and also waste of …

Recently my kids and I watched “Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian”; we saw how funny it looked on its trailer and wanted to buy it. Immediately after watching it I wanted to do a review and decided on one thing: if a movie that …
