The Bridesmaids Movie
The movie Bridesmaids was not quiet what I thought that it would be. When I first saw the previews for the movie I was convinced that it would be absolutely hilarious. However, I have to say that although I did find that movie funny, it was not quiet the …

The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
I think Final Fantasy: The Spirtis Within is half a brillaint movie. That half woiould be with regard to the look of the film. This is a pure CGI movie that broke ground with its animations. It is certainly amazing in that regard.
I think this is the most realistic …
Predator
I think Predator is one of the scariest movie I have ever seen. And I also think it is one of Arnold schwarzenegger’s best roles. Predator offers a really good stoyline and villian. The Predator is an alien life form with advanced weapons and technology. This thing is scary. I …
Save the Last Dance for me movie
The 2004 Korean Drama “Save the Last Dance for me”, starring Yoo Jin and Ji Sung, is one of my favorite dramas. This was the one which made me start my hallyu craze.
The plot of the drama is not the typical amnesia story. Kang Hyun Woo(Ji Sung) has already …

Network movie
What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …

Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …
Rambo, First Blood
I watched Rambo First Blood on video the other day and once again found myself enjoying a movie I’ve watched at least a dozen times before.
One of Sylvester Stallone’s best films ever, the movie is very well written and really makes you think about our Vietnam veterans and what …

The Secret War of Harry Frigg film

Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
High Crimes movie
As a person who loves both courtroom dramas and military movies, High Crimes is the perfect film for me because it gives me a good combination of both.
Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd play attorneys who are attempting to free Judd’s husband from prison after the military calls him a …
Twilight Saga: New Moon
For a Twilight fan like myself, wating for New Moon to be released in the theaters felt like such a long wait. I wanted to watch the sneak preview, but I couldn’t get any ticket, and it was next to impossible too on November 20, 2009, the official …
Saw (horror movie)
Saw is 2004 horror, thriller and mystery movie directed by James Wan who had quite a successful career in directing horror movies. I don’t usually watch horror movies, not because I can’t bear them, but, because its not truly my genre. My friend told me how much of a …

Vicky, Christina, Barcelona
I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …
Sherlock Holmes 2009: The Movie
Sherlock Holmes is another great performance by Robert Downy Jr. who keeps the story extremely entertaining and exciting.

Mona Lisa Smile

A darling little movie that my family loves to watch (yes, even my husband likes this chick flick) is Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon is such a cute actress with such endearing talent, that she is perfect as Melanie. This may be a glorified case of you can take …

If you ever want to spend 90 minutes of your life feeling like you are wasting your time, you should watch the movie Satan’s Playground.

The movie was one of the …
Big Momma’s House 2

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson aren’t really big Hollywood stars that’s why when a friend asked me to go to the movies with her and watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, I wasn’t really very excited. I don’t like Matthew that much (his blond looks isn’t …

Perfect Stranger
I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film “Perfect Stranger” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis.
The story of the film is completely enthralling with twists and turns all over the place. It left me unable to move, just waiting for the next sequence of …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
The Far Pavilions,1984 movie
The Far Pavilions, 1984, mini-series, is based on the novel by M.M. Kaye. I have one complaint about the movie: several scenes are done in the dark, leaving you to guess what is taking place. Other than that, the movie is good. The story is about Ashton Pelham-Martyn, or …
