Movies Reviews
Half Nelson
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Half Nelson starring Ryan Gosling. Half Nelson revolves around a school teacher who is a favorite among his students. His class is always active with humor and fun, and everyone loves him…everyone except him. Ryan Gosling’s character smokes pot and does …
Chronicle Movie
“Chronicle” is a very encouraging type of film; especially, during its beginning scenes. It is light and witty. The film is presented in a very one-sided angle—”so to speak. The audience witnesses: shots taken by the film’s character in way of his digital camera …
The Princess Diaries movie
I saw The Princess Diaries in the theater when it came out in 2001, and I have seen it a couple times since then. Anne Hathaway (the main character) is one of my favorite actresses (due, in part, to this movie). It is about a girl who …
Shadows by MIlco Mancevski
When first time i heard the title “Shadows” i said “I must watch this!”. Maybe i am coming from small country, maybe Macedonia is not Hollywood but that does not mean we can not make good films.
Long time people were talking about those “Shadows”.And finally the film came in …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …
Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …
All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
American Beauty movie
The movie “American Beauty” is a great film that will definitely become an American classic. Millions of Americans have enjoyed the movie, but my experience with the film is unique.
About five years ago, my friends and I watched this film, and we still watch it to this day. …
Sweet Sixteen movie
A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …
Thunder Cats
“Thunder Cats” was one of the cartoons I can remember watching with my cousins when I was still a young child, as, although the show was released in the mid to late eighties, one of our local television channels would bring it on weekday afternoons in the nineteen nineties. …
If Only Movie
This Movie was released 4 years ago. My friend just recommended me to watch this love story movie by Jennifer Love Hewitt. I never thought that Jennifer is really in acting, but I discovered she begun doing movies since early 90’s. I found this movie interesting because I never …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
Transformers 2: Revenge of the fallen is a brilliant masterpiece. If you like the first one, you will love the second. The director did an awesome job with this movie. I love how there is more action in this movie rather than the first one. This movie starts you …
The Unexplained: Hauntings (NR, 1997) DVD
I will confess that I was expecting something a little bit longer. Showing for only 50 minutes, I was looking for a bit more depth. This History Channel program dives into the supernatural, and spends a few minutes with different people who have had experience …
Push movie
“Push” is a movie about people with powers. It’s set in a world where many people have powers that an secret agency has classified under terms like “pusher”, “reader,” “mover” and “eraser”. I was curious about this movie, even more so since it’s the first non-serious movie I’ve seen …
Murder in Paradise movie

Movie Public Enemies
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, and also love historically-based movies. I looked forward to seeing Public Enemies, a movie starring Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard (another of my favourite actresses), because I had read a lot about John Dillinger, the famous bank robber during the Depression years. …
Because I said So
Overall it’s a alright movie. It wasn’t that funny but it did have some funny parts in it. I did laugh a couple times but nothing was hilarious. It also dragged out somewhat. It was really long. It was kind of boring and I just wanted the movie to …
The Hangover Part III film
I was a huge fan of the first “Hangover” film, but not so impressed with the second film titled “The Hangover Part II” so going into this movie, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with “The Hangover Part III”. I had heard a few reviews before I …
He Loves Me…He Loves Me Not (movie)
One thing that I absolutely love to watch is foreign drama films, and therefore, when I saw the French movie “He Loves Me—¦He Loves Me Not” airing on a certain cable television station recently, I was eager to watch it even though it was already one or two minutes …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Mrs. Doubtfire, the movie will always be in my heart. A special one, that is. It starts off with Robin Williams, being separated from his wife and they have children together.
He loves them so much and wanting to be close to them, disguises himself as a …
The Libertine Movie
The Libertine was a movie that came out last year starring Johnny Depp. The movie takes place during the 17th century and Johnny Depp
plays a poet whom the movie is built around. It seems as if there is no point to the movie as it just follows Johnny Depp’s …

Third Harry Potter Movie
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was very impatient for this movie, especially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. I had heard there would be a new director so I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations. It …

Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)
I’m one of those people who is a big fan of independent films, but for some reason when I saw a trailer of this movie a few months ago I wasn’t very interested in it. The fact that Emma Watson and Logan Leerman played two of the main characters …

Traffickers, Movie
Korean thrillers rarely pull their punches, which can often make them deeply affecting - especially when they centre around some really dark subjects. Unlike popular Chinese and Japanese cinema exports there is typically much more favour for realism in Korean films, that only makes them more shocking.
Traffickers is concerned …

Horrible bosses movie (2011)
First off, let me just say that the movie ‘Horrible Bosses’ was absolutely hilarious! I really had no reason to see it other than the fact that Jason Bateman was in a starring role in the movie. It also stars Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis and …

Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows movie
I’ve always remembered Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows, not because of the actors but because of the story and that it makes use of Universal Studios. In fact, the opening has the soon-to-be murder victim on the tram, riding around seeing the attractions, like Jaws and the burning …
The Longest Day
Arguably, the best war film ever to be made. I believe it was filmed in 1962. Big names like, John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery to name a few, starred in this black & white movie.
What intrigued me the most about this flick was that the Americans/British spoke …
Bobbys World cartoon

Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
