Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are two of Hollywood’s finest. They are great performers who gave the world decades of wonderful performances. One of those performances was in the legendary The Odd Couple. After that, they often worked together, and each movie was a gem. This …
Something about Mary movie
“Something about Mary” is the most successful movie for the Farrelly brothers. They tried to recreate the same atmosphere in another movie “Me, Myself and Irene” and failed miserably. This movie is also Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller passport to success because, before this movie, they were not very …

Kubo and the Two Strings (2016 Animated Film)
Prior to watching Kubo and the Two Strings, I have watched a sort-of behind-the-scenes of the making of Kubo and the Two Strings in YouTube and I was seriously amazed at the amount of work to create this movie. For the information of everybody, this is a stop-motion animated film …

The Empire Strikes Back movie
As I said in my Star Wars review, I’ve only seen the original three movies and I loved them. They made a complete package for me. In my heart, I think of this movie as The Empire Strikes Back and not as Star Wars: Episode V - …
Movie: Dreamscape
I hadn’t seen the movie Dreamscape in a while so, when I saw I could watch it on instant watch last night, I figured I would take the time to watch it again.
After doing so, I was glad I took the time to re-watch a film I couldn’t remember …
Immortals (movie)
I remember how excited I was to watch the movie “Immortals” when I first saw the trailer being advertised back in 2011. I had even made plans to see it with friends since I was so sure that the movie would be exciting and just up my alley. What …
MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …
Grown Ups Movie
Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …
Movie Money Train
I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …
Happy Feet
I took my 10yr old grandson to see ‘Happy Feet’ during the Christmas holidays. We couldn’t get in to see the movie we wanted to see so settled for that one. Came out clicking our heels. Well, I did. He’s not a kid who likes the turtles or action …
The Illusionist movie
I am reviewing the movie, THe Illusionist starring Edward Norton, Jessica Beil, and Paul Giomatti, to name a few. Edward Norton’s character learns how to become an illusionist at a very young age, and falls in love with Sophie, Jessica Beil’s character. Sophie’s parents do not like …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, film (2003)

It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …

Life of Pi Movie
“Life of Pi” is an enormously successful tale; and very visually appealing I think. The film is based on the global best-selling book of how a teenager drifts over the Pacific Ocean with a tiger. The two become captive in the lifeboat after the film’s vivid beginning. …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is the sequel to the very popular Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In my opinion, a disappointing sequel. In my eyes, it is the death of a sequel when the makers of the …
Movie The Inside Man
This is a great movie which has all the right things, such as a good story and a great director as well as a wonderful cast. The director of “The Inside Man”, Spike Lee managed to produce a good movie in just 39 days of shooting.
“The Inside Man” is …
Over the Hedge movie
My family and I went to see Over The Hedge and we found it to be a good movie. It does seem like this year that all the movies in the theaters for kids have been about animals, Chicken Little, Madagascar, The Wild, and now Over The Hedge. I …
Duplex, movie
Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore do a wonderful job in pulling off this bright comedy about a couple trying to survive their first home owner’s experience. I thought this film was playful, funny and even a bit telling in how we all sometimes fall for things that are too good …

My Sassy Girl
My sassy girl is a very funny movie. As per my own opinion, the Hollywood version is better than the Korean version, because the Korean version, I think it is a bit dragging, there are some scenes that aren’t really needed but I guess the writer and the director …
King Arthur
This movie is based on historical facts behind the Arthurian legends (or at least so its creators claim). If you are into King Arthur, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table, you will probably enjoy this attempt to create a historical portrait of Arthur. According to the movie, …
Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie
I have been able to see almost every new movie being shown in cinemas right now because of the 1 year off I have gifted myself. And so far, I will rate Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) as the most promising in terms of acting, story, excitement, and well, …
Sex and the City (2008)
I love watching Sex and the City, the series before on TV, and now that there’s a movie rendition, I sure wouldn’t want to miss it at all. As usual, it stars the lovely and gorgeous Sarah Jessica Parker and the other lovely ladies as well such as …

Happy Feet movie
As a father with three children, ages 9 down to 3, I went into this film with some trepidation. Mind you, I like children’s fare, but this one just didn’t have the appeal for me.
Boy, was I wrong.
The tap-dancing penguin in the movie is just adorable. As much …

Monsters Inc. : Movie

Tattoed Life movie
This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …
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 …

Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …
Mononoke (anime)
Holy! mother of god! I’m so addicted to this.

The Movie Dinner for Schmucks
When I saw the previews for “Dinner For Shmucks” I was really excited. The previews had me laughing so hard so I thought that because the previews were funny then the movie must be funny. However, after paying to see this movie I have to say that …
The Rape of Richard Beck, movie
For those who are interested in finding out more on the topic of Male on Male Rape, the 1985 television movie “The Rape of Richard Beck” (also known in some places as Deadly Justice) might be valuable in your research. It is perhaps the only movie I’ve ever seen …
