Where do you get your inspiration in anything? The movie “Music and Lyrics” tries to answer that question, and in this case, for a song.
The movie tells the story of Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a ‘has-been’ 80’s pop star who’s trying to revive his career. The chance comes when …

“The Ice Harvest” is a black comedy with the actor, John Cusack in top form. What I found interesting about this movie is that it is based during the Christmas season but there is not a lot of Christmas spirit, unless one is referring to alcohol.
The story of this …

This movie couldn’t have been any better. I loved it. I think will smith did an amazing job especially with him being the only actor in it. You would think that it would have got boring and lost my interest with only one actor and not a whole lot …

Tom Dick and Harry is a filthy movie. I watched it yesterday on cable TV. This movie released on 12th of May 2006. The movie is directed by Deepak Tijori. It is his yet another stupid venture of directing a film. Well the movie casts Dino Morea playing …

I’m sure many people have watched Freedom Writers, the movie before. However, I just managed to watch this on DVD the other few nights back and this is indeed a true story that I certainly has learned a lot just by watching.
This is like a gang …

Adam Sandler has attempted to do dramas in the past and has failed miserably. Ironically, the best drama he has is one that was supposed to have been a comedy; Bulletproof.
The thing I like about Bulletproof is, even though you do have some funny moments in it, the movie …

To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …

Deja Vu is a new film produced Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Tony Scott, director of Enemy of the State, and features academy award winning actor Denzel Washington as the main character. Denzel plays ATF agent Doug Carlin who is investigating a terrotist attack in post Katrina New Orleans. Where …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is latest movie to come out and the fifth installment of the Harry Potter franchise. In my opinion, this is the best movie of the franchise. A HUGE improvement from the mess that was Harry Potter and the Goblet …

This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …

The Accidental Husband is a movie story that I’ve watched before starring Uma Thurman, Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The story is something like a romantic comedy and Uma’s acting is pretty commendable here.
I’ve always thought that she fits serious roles when acting but this story proved me …

This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …

Based on the synopsis of this film by Joel and Ethan Cohen, I would not have bothered with Fargo, but a friend whose opinion I trusted recommended I watch it and it is now one of my favorites. Set in wintry Minnesota, William H. Macy plays a dodgy …

When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …

Nowadays, at a time when directors molest us with technical fireworks, and writers write such spins that are so twisted that in the head turns, the movie “127 hours” is a gem. History of simple, painful and true like a biblical parable. Danny Boyle once again showed class.
What does this …

I just watched Inkheart and totally loved it! Based on the book Inkheart by Cornelia Funke–which by the way, I didn’t read– although, now after seeing the movie I want to read the book.
The whole premise of the movie is about this man and his daughter who both …

I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …

Holy Motors is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. But be warned, you may not understand it, or even like it, at all. Holy Motors is almost not even a film in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, it is a piece of extremely well …

This movie will now and forever be one of my favorite horror movies. It’s a true classic. This is based in Antarctica where a bunch of scientists are doing some experiments. They uncover a dark terror that seems to evade them at every turn. It first starts off with …

Hailed as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, Seinfeld finally arrives on DVD in a collection that comprises of all nine seasons, as well as hours and hours of supplemental material including interviews with the cast and creative forces behind the show, deleted scenes, outtakes, animated versions …

I bought this film the day it came out on video, and for good reason: it’s spectacular. One of the songs in the film is entitled “Spectacular Spectacular,” which pretty much sums up the entire movie. From start to finish this film is brilliant - from the light to …

Dakota Fanning is one of the best young actors today, and I just fall in love with her over and over again when I watch her movies. One of the best ones I have seen her in is “Hide and Seek,” which also stars Robert De Niro. This film …

Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …

One Christmas movie that I have really enjoyed ever since I first watched it was the 1994 film The Santa Clause. There was so much magic in this film and gave viewers a first glance look at the North Pole, which is of course every child’s dream, and the …

Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …

The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …

The Great Global Warming Swindle was the right’s answer to Al Gore’s famous and popular documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It goes against the grain of current thought on the warming of the earth and attacks some of the incorrect facts stated in Mr. Gore’s documentary.
Unlike Mr. Gore’s film, …

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, directed by Marcus Nispel is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong horror violence/gore, language and drug content. The original release date for this movie was October 17, 2003 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Horror/Thriller …

I began looking forward to seeing the next movie in the Captain America franchise shortly after Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released in 2014. After watching the movie Captain America: Civil War in the theatre recently I’m proud to report that I found it very entertaining.

Captain America: Civil …

In the beginning of this animated tale, we are thrown in the midst of a battle between warrior women against the forces of darkness commanded by the god of war. Led by the Amazon queen Hippolyta, the warrior women laid waste to the vast armies of Ares, but it …

License to wed was an alright movie. It wasn’t really boring at all but it could have been funnier. There were a couple of parts that I thought were funny but not to many. All of the actors did a good job in it, especially Robin Williams and Mandy …

Finding Nemo is an animated film worth watching. I’ve seen it twice already and still I want to watch it again. It’s the story of a clown fish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective father to Nemo (Alexander Gould). After Nemo disappears, Marlin searches for him into …

The Long Kiss Goodnight, directed by Renny Harlin is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for a substantial amount of strong bloody violence, and strong language. The original release date was October 11, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Thriller …

I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews about the movie “Battle: Los Angeles”. I’ve read bad ones, where people say it’s one of the worst movies they’ve seen, and that it’s a waste of time and money; and I’ve read good ones, where people say it’s one of …

The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …

Starring: Kurt Russell, A. Wilford Brimley, Keith David, T.K. Carter, David Clennon, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan, Peter Maloney, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, and Thomas G. Waites.
Directed by: John Carpenter.
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” was the subject of much critical dismay and reception when it first came out. Aside …

“Up in the Air” the 2009 film starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick proved to be not only a touching tale of finding the meaning of how to spend your life, but a depressing realization that sometimes it doesn’t work out as planned when you give yourself …

I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …

A friend recommended this book to me, and told me that it was an emotional love story which she thought I’d like. So, I went and watched the film in the cinema. It definitely exceeded my expectations.

On seeing that the book was written by Nicholas Sparks, I was put off. …

The Girl Next Door story begins when a porn star named Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert) moves to the house next to a high school student Matthew (Emile Hirsch). They started an affair but ends when he found out she was a porn star.
As we watch the movie we feel like …

Office Space, directed by Mike Judge, the same guy that brought you Bevis and Butthead, shows in a comical way (but yet so close to reality) what it is like to be an engineer working in a cubucle and how certaiin behaviours might effect their professional life.
This is a …

This is one of those movies that you skipped when it was released in theaters. Doomsday might have come out at the wrong time or the trailers didn’t look very appetizing. With the movie being released on video, should you take a look at this film or should you …

Stargate Atlantis season 5 premiere was one of the things I was really waiting for. With all the spoilers out there, I couldn’t imagine how they will make it work. And oh boy, was it worth it.
The episode is an immediate continuation of the season 4 finale. The building …

This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …

The new version of The Stepford Wives has its pluses and minuses, compared to the old 1975 movie. The plot is not only modernized but developed in several different directions, and so are some characters. Namely, Joanna Eberhart, the heroine, played by Nicole Kidman. She is a high TV …

All good things must eventually end and such is the case for the much beloved, Lieutenant Columbo. After decades of solving murders, the very last movie was aired in 2003. Columbo Likes the Nightlife is the swan song for the rumpled raincoat-clad detective. It’s the last …

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is a movie about two sisters. Baby Jane Hudson was a child star who never got past the adoration of cheering crowds and a father who spoiled her. Blanche Hudson, her older sister, was a shy and reserved child who ended up being the …

I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler but I like Drew Barrymore that’s why I saw the movie 50 First Dates. I didn’t expect that I would like the movie because I never liked Adam Sandler’s style of comedy. I think he’s corny. But surprisingly I liked it …
