Armageddon movie (1998)
First, and foremost, Bruce Willis. Need I say more. I have yet to see a film where Bruce Willis was not playing a part written for him or a part that he did not do justice to with his own …
Meet the Spartans
I’m slowly becoming more disappointed with the way comedy movies are going in the United States. There was a time where I could go to the movies (a comedy) and find myself laughing hysterically for a good hour and a half. Now I find myself staring at the screen …
Mall Cop
Paul Blart Mall Cop is a hilarious comedy starring Kevin James. This is overall the funniest movie I’ve seen in awhile. I love Kevin James because of his weight but also he’s a funny comedian and actor. He does well for the movie. I really enjoy watching this …
88 Minutes movie 2007
There’s nothing like a good Al Pacino movie but this wasn’t one of them. 88 minutes is a thriller that will confuse you until the very end. Mostly because the things that happen in it are so unrealistic and unbelievable that you think “there must be something more,” yet at …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …
The Carson City Kid movie
Roy Rogers stars in this 1940 western called The Carson City Kid. I have to admit that watching this movie was a relaxing experience. I just sort of kicked back and enjoyed a simple picture that was the classic good versus evil battle.
Rogers played a man masquerading …
Madea’s Family Reunion
Incorporating the talents of such legends as Dr. Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson along with the inspirational storyline, Tyler Perry has done it again. If you are not familiar with the extremely popular Tyler Perry plays and movies, you are missing out on what many believe to be classics …

This is the second episode of the Rush Hour saga, this time they are in Honk Kong where Carter, played by Chris Tucker, wants a relaxing but exciting vacation filled with lots of women, but his time in the orient is going to be far from a vacation experience …
Columbia House DVD
I signed up with Columbia House DVD. I got a certain number of DVDs for I believe, 99 cents each with the requirement that I purchase 4 DVDs at regular price in the next 2 years. I didn’t think that would be a problems. However, everytime I went in …
The Undefeated documentary
The Undefeated is a documentary about Sarah Palin. Some persons think of this documentary kind of like an event or production where you sit and watch it out of general politeness. Some have been even as bold as to describe it as a really, long, …
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
Roja Tamil Movie
Roja was a trend set movie in Tamil Cinema. This movie was released in 1993. The movie directed by Maniratnam and produced by Kavithalaya Pictures. This movie was set a new dimension to Tamil cinema in all categories Music, Camera, Script, etc. Maniratnam came up …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
Ghost Dad movie
This is known as one of the worst films that Bill Cosby was in .This is ironic sense it was directed by Sidney Poitier who is known to be a great producer.Why did the movie get the bad rap that it did.
The main thing thats wrong with this movie …
Shallow Hal
I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.
Hal is …
Top Secret! movie
An american rock star is having a performance in Germany. What he doesn’t know is that the performance is really a cover-up for a political meeting.
This film features Val Kilmer in one of his early roles, strangely enough in a comedy as it is. The tone is that of …
Napoleon Dynamite
I have met people who think Napoleon Dynamite is the most hilarious movie ever and some other people that say it isn’t funny at all. This is a movie that maybe is not possible to catalog either as funny or not funny: it’s really hard to say if it’s …
The Others movie
“The Others” is a dreary, yet magical horror film-that is unlike many other supernatural horror films. The director created a dreary and sleepy backdrop to tell the story of a woman and her two children who live in a huge manor after the 2nd World War. Nicole …
Ouija (supernatural horror movie)
I was in the mood to watch a horror movie recently and couldn’t figure out which one to watch. That was when I remembered one called “Ouija” that I had seen the trailer of when I went to watch something else in the theatre. While it was obvious that the …
The Thing About My Folks,2005 movie
I am surprised that I haven’t really heard anything about this movie when it was released. It is a good movie that deserves more attention. Peter Falk plays Sam Kleinman, a hard-working husband and an absentee father whose wife Muriel (Olympia Dukakis) finally leaves him after 50 years of …
Wild hogs
Whoever decided to cast a “buddy” movie with Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence & William H Macy as the co-starring friends was truely inspired. Sometimes when you have too much talent it can backfire, but these four pulled it off really well.
Scrubs John McGinley has a …
March of the Penguins documentary
This documentary is both educational and entertaining. It is fun to learn more about these cute, flightless, birds.
The penguins followed in this film are Emperor penguins, which are the only penguins which live year round on Antarctica. They have to survive very cold weather and the chicks which are …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …
This Christmas movie
I really wish African American films would get better than this. This film was such a rip-off of “Soul Food” that it is not even funny. The sisters fighting the youngest one dating an “intelligent thug”, legal troubles, selling Big Mama/Ma’Dere’s property the list just …
Happy Feet
Let me just tell you everyone in my family loved this movie. I have 4 boys, and my husband. So as you can imagine, it can get very hard to please everyone! Happy feet tells a story of a penquin who doesn’t quite fit in with …
Wishing Well movie
Wishing Well is a 2009 TV movie that aired on the Hallmark Channel. It fits the mode of family film, but it’s a very old plot, one that has been re-used to death over the past few years.
Here’s the plot. Big city girl gets sent to small …
The Kingdom movie
This movie started off kind of slow and boring in the very beginning. When you get into the movie though it is really good. It kept me interested in what was going on. You do kind of have to pay attention to make sure you understand it all, …
I Am Legend (R, 2007) movie
I have finally gotten around to seeing “I Am Legend”. I wish that I hadn’t seen the movie… Or better yet, I wish that I had read the novel, or seen 1971’s “Omega Man” first. At any rate, I am not really a huge Will …
Fifty Shades of Grey Movie
Way before I saw the movie, I read the trilogy. And it was a really good series. So when I heard the movie was coming out and saw the trailer, I was excited. The trailer looked really good and I was so sure that the movie was going to …
Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
Ghost Town
It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …
Unbroken-2014, Biography, Drama Movie
I always watch films that are based on World War period. World War 2 was one of the greatest nightmares world has ever seen. Their are a lot of films based on it, and the greater part of them are truly intriguing. Moving further, I never knew anything about the …
Sweet Bird of Youth movie
From 1962, Sweet Bird of Youth is the Tennessee Williams tale of a young man who returns home after a failed bid to make it as an actor in Hollywood.

The Closer you get movie
A team of unmarried men in a small irish village get tired of always being alone and puts an advertisement in the newspaper to make women come to their annual dance. Quite unexpectedly, women show up.
When I decided to have a look at this movie, I had read that …
Tropic Thunder, Thunderously Funny
If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
I normally don’t go for the action-adventure movies; however, Jack Black and Ben Stiller have always provided hilarious comedic …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …
Iron Man Movie
I generally enjoy the superhero movies, but this one has something extra. It’s more realistic for those who just can’t get into the far-fetched fantasy scenarios of X-Men or Spider-Man. It doen’t try to be overly serious, nor does lack depth. It’s a perfect combination of sweet action, …
The Real McCoy (1993)
The Real McCoy, directed by Russell Mulcahy is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was September 10, 1993 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars Kim Basinger as Karen McCoy, Val Kilmer as J.T. Barker, …
Nine (2009)
I went to see Nine because my sister is a big fan of musicals and wanted to see the screen adaptation of this one. I did not expect to like the movie that much, and I must say that I found it entertaining.
The story revolves around cinema director …
The Holiday, Nancy Meyers Movie
This movie to be perfect. Very appropriate as a diversified film dramatic romantic comedy that is displayed. Selection of shutting location also quite fun. Not many places, but the entire core stories can delivery clearly. The players also supported by costumes that show their character, very strong and clearly …
Movie: The Devil’s Brigade
This weekend was the first time I have seen the movie The Devil’s Brigade; though I had heard of it and it has been on TV a few times in the past year or so.
Overall, it was an OK movie with plenty of action.
The film is about a group …
Relic Movie
Relic is one of my favorite movies, though the book the film was based on is much better. The movie takes place entirely at a natural history museum in New York. One of the museum workers sends a relic that he found overseas back to the museum and it …
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …
When Harry Met Sally
Billy Crystal sizzles in the movie, When Harry Met Sally. And one of my most favorite actress, Meg Ryan acted too and together with Billy Crystal, the on-screen chemistry looks unavoidable. I could be watching this 10 times and still not get tired nor bored at it.
This is …
Movie: 9 to 5
I finally got a chance to relax about 9 last night, after putting both kids to bed and feeding the cat. Since my wife (who somehow manages to get out of helping me at night) was already in bed, I figured I would try to find a movie or …
The Resident movie
If you review the list of films in recent years you will notice that more or less everything you see on the screen today is a remake of something that was filmed a few years ago.
There are few films that really discuss a new idea or shed light on …
The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan
Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …
Movie Feed
Feed is a disturbing and original horror movie about a man who has a fetish for very large women. He keeps a gigantic, morbidly obese woman (who weights over 600 pounds and is bedridden) prisoner. He is her lover and captor, and he takes pictures of her to put …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …
