Knocked Up The Movie
I was fortunate enough to be able to see this movie in the theatres and I loved it. I don’t agree with the message it sends to its viewers but I found it funny and entertaining just the same. And here’s why you should watch Knocked Up.

The Movie Atlantis The Lost Empire
I have personally always liked the story of Atlantis. The idea of such a city is an intriguing one and its one that has been told for generations. When Disney came out with Atlantis I was really curious to see how good it would be. The trailer …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …

Charlie St. Cloud Movie
Zac Efron have totally leveled up as he portrayed the role of Charlie St. Cloud in the 2010 movie with the same title, “Charlie St. Cloud”. His portrayal of the role was way too far from the teenage High School Musical, Wild Cats Basketball Captain star.
Directed by Burr Steers …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
SALT (2010) Movie

Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
Big Fish (movie)
One of my favourite movies up to a certain point in my life was the movie called “Big Fish”. The whole idea of it being my favourite was a little odd too, since I don’t think that I was able to watch it more than about three times whether …

This is a movie about a family business being handed down from generation to generation, in this case, it was handed down to Calvin, played by Ice Cube, but unlike his father before him, he did not want the hassle of running the business on the grounds that it …
Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …

Batman Returns
I got a chance to re-watch the movie Batman Returns last night and have to say, I can now understand why that installment of Batman movies went downhill in a hurry.
The first Batman, starring Michael Keaton, is still one of my favorite movies. This sequel to that movie wasn’t …
Hermione’s Dress
As I’m sure all you Harry Potter fans know, in the fourth movie, there was a dance called the ‘Yule Ball’.
Now, I read about this in the book, but I never imagined that everything would be so pretty!
When I saw Hermione’s dress in the film, I just died!!!
It’s …
Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
Desperado movie
“Desperado” is the funny action movie that made the actors, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek very famous in Hollywood. Hayek was hardly known in Hollywood before this movie. It seems that the director, Quentin Tarantino so much liked this movie that he personally asked to be given a small …
What a Way to Go!
This comedy is a real hoot! The cast of What a Way to Go! is first rate, a truly phenomenal group of actors who all surround the female star, Shirley MacLaine. Shirley plays Louisa May Foster, a girl from a humble family who really only wants to …

Forever at the top in the world of animation, Disney broke even more ground with this lushly animated and wonderfully told new version of the classic french fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. So wonderous was this instant classic, that it was the first ever animated film to ever …

50/50 (movie)
With some of my favourite actors like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen featuring as the main characters in the movie “50 50″. The expectations were high, because both of these had done exceptionally well in the previous movies.

13 Conversations About One Thing (R, 2002) movie

I am reviewing the movie, Without a Clue, a Sherlock HOlmes movie starring Ben Kingsley as Dr. Watson, and Michael Caine as Sherlock Holmes. This movie was produced in 1988. This movie is quite different from any Sherlock Holmes film you’ve scene. What’s the main difference, you ask? …

Blood Diamonds

Madhouse
Starring: Joshua Leonard (Clark Stevens), Jordan Ladd (Sara), Lance Henriksen (Dr Franks), Dendrie Taylor (Nurse Hendricks)

Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.
When this came out back in the 1970’s, it caused quite a stir. Some howling conservatives wanted an X-rating, and when it finally did come out, maybe some people didn’t understand it, but knew it was something special. This film has …

Snakes on a Plane, David Ellis Movie
‘Snakes on a Plane’ (SoaP) is one of the internet phenomenon in the beginning. Long before released, this movie becomes the subject of debate and discussion, which is quite warm. And it is quite a trick successfully. ‘SoaP’ successfully occupies the first rank Box Office when released.
A young …

Amadeus movie
Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison.
