The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …
Interstellar (science fiction drama movie)
Initially I was torn between wanting to watch Interstellar and actually watching it, because I’d read a lot of bad reviews about it on the internet. Some reviewers including one of my good friends who has a similar taste as mine in movies, claimed it was terrible, hyped up and …
Gangs of New York (2002)
Gangs of New York is a crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese. Film was released in 2002 and story is based on the events that took place in New York in the middle of Ninetieth century. At that time many gang wars are storming between British People and immigrants. …
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.
Paul Newman is terrific as Chance Wayne, the bad guy who surprises the town by showing up unexpectedly. He’s …
Lindsey Lohan’s Just My Luck
I watched this movie and will admit that it took a little while for me to start liking it at all. I thought that it was a little frivolous at first ,and all the way through as a matter of fact. Lindsey Lohan is an okay actress, but certainly …
DVD PATRIOT
Has Mel Gibson ever made a worse film?
Trying to cash in on Mel’s tremendous success in BRAVEHEART, Roland (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW among other travesties) Emmerlich cast Mel in a really badly written American Revolution historical picture.
Originally conceived as a WW2 movie, it mutated into the junk that …
Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (UR, 2006) movie
I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …
Washington Square movie
This is a remake of the 1949 classic titled “The Heiress,” starring Olivia de Havilland. While the original is hard to beat, the remake is actually not too bad. Of course, there are some rather questionable additions and a definite feminist touch, but what else can you expect from …
Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
National Treasure movie
National Treasure is widely acknowledged as a bad movie. If you go into this movie expecting the next Indiana Jones, then yes, you will be disappointed and while I agree that it is not perfect, I found to be an entertaining movie. The movie is basically about …
Vennela a telugu movie
Casting:
Raja
Parvathi melton
Sarvanand
ravi varma
brahmanandam
The movie ” Vennela” is an above average movie with good music and hilarious comedy. This is also a usual love story but with different twist. There are two important themes in this movie. One is : “Never live in bad compnay. This may ruin you precious life”. …
Avatar: The Legend of Aang
I never really loved cartoons, but this animation series got me hooked! I’m talking about “Avatar: The Legend of Aang”. For people who are hearing this title for the first time, the series is about a world ruled by 4 nations(fire, earth, water and air), living in peace until …
Movie Paranormal Activity
I have always been a big horror movie buff and when Paranormal Activity came out I was immediately interested. I rented the dvd recently at the recommendation of a friend. I was expecting something extremely scary and disturbing as the hype surrounding the movie indicated. I was …
Va Savoir
Va Savoir is a foreign film that I have watched before since one of my friend works at the cinema. 2 of them actually, one female and one male, and either one always gets me to watch amazing movies that are sometimes not released as yet which is great.
Therefore, …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …
Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
Vacancy
This movie starring Kate Beckinsdale and Luke Wilson, was interesting to watch. It is a bit suspenseful, with decent acting and a decent story, but the ’snuff’ factor is a bit sensationalistic and the story itself is a bit short. It is still good enough to watch and be …
Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.
What Universal has done with …
Wild Target 2010 movie
Failure of a hitman is not a situation that you could assess it as “funny.” However, it is perfectly possible in Wild Target, applying the opus of the typology “ordinary people put in extreme situations.”
Three main and unusual characters appear in this movie, a hitman who takes care of …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …
The Notebook (movie)
With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen is by far my favorite of the Ocean’s movies. It is the third movie in the series and personally I think it is the best. It has an all-star cast and a great plot. I liked this one best because finally the stars had …
Untraceable
I watched this movie a little while ago. It was a pretty good movie overall. I liked it for the most part. I thought that it was very interesting and entertaining throughout the movie. It had my attention throughout the movie, I never got bored of watching it. It …

The Lego (Movie)
I was just searching for some movies that can make my boring day awesome. Few days back, my friend shared his experience about The Lego movie. He said the movie was awesome and worth watching. So I thought to give it a try! The movie was directed by one …
Inkheart (the movie)
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 …
Karate Kid (2010) Movie
Karate Kid (2010) stars Jaden Smith and Jacky Chan. This was a great movie, and this is almost a remake of the original Karate Kid. I liked this better than the old original ones. Primarily because Jaden. playing the role of Dre, is really cute. He acts beautifully, very …
The Cell movie
This is probably one of the most imaginative and daring films to come along in years. Granted, the basic plot has been done over and over before (finding a serial killer), but in this case, the road toward getting from point A to point Z is what matters. …
State of Play movie
I watched State of Play that day with my friends and I was so hating it in the beginning. I wanted to watch some other show, but all of them insisted on this one. Starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, this is one thriller of a movie that …

Shrek 3
Dreamworks’ successful Shrek franchise has more or less lived up to its hype with Shrek 1 and 2; Shrek 3, however, seems to fall short of the witty, fairy-tale spoof we have come to love. Although filled with humorous details and comical dialogue, the story is nothing short of …
Movie : Where the Heart Is
“Where the Heart is” is one of the best warm, fuzzy movies that you will ever watch. It is an amazing tale of a young woman who finds herself in some awful messes but comes out very well in the end because she sticks with her convictions. Her boyfriend …
The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …
Road Trip
When the movie Road Trip first came out, I will confess I wasn’t overly impressed by it. For the most part, it seemed to be pretty much every other college movie I’ve ever seen.
Then, after watching it for about the third time, I think I might have finally realized …
It Takes Two movie
Mary Kate and her sister Ashley Olsen star in the movie It Takes Two. This movie reminds me a little bit of a classic Disney movie called the Parent Trap. Except that the man in this movie is a rich tycoon who made it big on making money from …
HOP movie
I’ll be honest. The only reason I went to this movie is to hear one of the songs in the credits by my favourite artist. I went into this movie kind of just wanting it to be the end soon because I hated animated movies or anything like it. …
Mannequin (1987)
This movie is about a struggling artist who is constantly moving from one dead end job to another makes a stop at a department store, he is working there assembling mannequins in the store windows when on assembly, one of the mannequins come to life and together the spark …
Bad Santa
I’m not a huge Billy Bob Thornton fan so, when his movie Bad Santa came out, I really avoided watching it. However, it was on one of our movie channels the other day and, since there was nothing better on, I figured I would give it a chance.
It wasn’t …
Beetlejuice movie
Beetlejuice is one hysterical movie. I love watching it whenever I can. Starring Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the Maitlands, the movie is about a married couple who get killed in a car crash but live on as ghosts of a sort in their home. …

March 12, 2004 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Horror/Mystery/Thriller and stars Johnny Depp as …
Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
Irreversible film
“Irreversible” is a 2002 French film, starring actress Monica Belluci (”The Matrix” finale) and Vincent Cassel (”Oceans Thirteen”), in which the tragic events of one night in paris unfolds backwards. The idea for this film is so startingly original, and leaves you feeling washed up and put away wet, …
50 First Dates
I’m usually not the type to fall for romantic comedies because they tend to be predictable and sometimes even stupid, in my opinion. This idea, however, did not pertain to the movie 50 First Dates. I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it a …
Man of The Year
Man of the Year is a good comedy. From all of the trailors I thought they would actually let the comedian become president not that he would get the truth out in time. I enjoyed the movie I just think it would have been funnier the other way if …
Company Film
Company is a sequel of the earlier Ramu Production Satya. This films marks the debut of Vivek Oberoi, and he has done a good job playing the gangster in the film. The story is about underworld, and the organized crime that takes place under it. Devgan, takes …
Baise Moi (movie)
“Baise Moi” is a French movie I watched with English subtitles after a friend recommended it to me. I’d rather not reveal what the title translates to in English here, since it would be extremely inappropriate, however, if the curiosity is too great one can simply go to Google …
One Fine Day
One Fine Day starring George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the finest romantic comedy movies I have ever seen The movie is a very well directed movie with great performances by the lead couple. Michelle Pfeiffer should be given a special mention here. She is so perfect …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie
I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …
