Movie Silence of the Lambs
This spectacular movie has my most favorite film monologue ever and it’s probably the most memorable one as well. It was delivered quite eloquently by the legendary Anthony Hopkins. This film, “Silence of the Lambs” is nothing short of a
masterpiece. Based on the gripping novel by the author Thomas …

One Missed Call Movie
One Missed Call is a complete waste of time and I’m not saying that because I was disappointed or because I didn’t like one actor, but because this movie was absolutely horrible. The sad thing is that I was really excited to see this movie and had been for …

I watched this movie at school a long time ago. The teacher had put it on, and when we watched it, I was one of the only people who paid any attention, and I am guessing that that was because everyone else had already watched it and they knew …

What an upset of a movie this was. I am surprised that I heard as many good reviews about it because I thought it sucked. I didn’t laugh not even one time during the whole duration of the movie. The movies is about a boy who just graduates from …

The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …

Movie: “The House Bunny”
“The House Bunny” came from the same writers that created “Legally Blonde”; while “Bunny” is definitely not the instant classic that “Legally Blonde” was, it’s a cute movie of its own right.

2001: A Space Odyssey movie
Whenever I read reviews about this Stanley Kubiak film, I keep hearing about how it’s a classic and how it changed the movie industry.

Smart People (R, 2008)

Movie Tank Girl
I saw the movie Tank Girl a while back but honestly couldn’t remember much about it. After seeing it again last night, I still have to admit it’s a better movie than you would expect it to be.

The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …

Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.
An approximation of the true nature of how …
Avatar in Digital 3D
I wanted to write about Avatar while it’s still fresh in my mind. I watched it on December 24, 2009 for a hefty fee of $14.99 (that’s how much it costs to watch a full-blown digital 3D movie these days). On second thought, this cost is not …
Slumdog Millionaire
I am not a person who loves watching movies. However, the euphoria that was created by the release of Slumdog millionaire led me to watch this movie. I have to say that I love watching the movie. Yes, I have many reservations about the plot and the way film …
