Spotlight (2015 Drama Movie)
I was not even aware the film Spotlight existed until I saw that it was nominated for several Academy Awards. Thus I did a little bit of my own research on it and saw that the topic was definitely something that I would be interested in. What piqued my interest …

Movie The Car
The Car is a very old but super scary movie. The movie was very good in my opinion. I think that the film really shows the kind of stuff that people really fear. I mean what’s not scary about a car that drive by it’s self and kills people? …
Hancock The Movie
“Hancock” is now officially my new favorite summer movies. I thought “Sex and the City” was good, but this movie blew them out of the water. First off, I do not recommend this movie for small children, or children in general for that matter. While the dialog was hilarious, …
Movie “Going the Distance” (2010)

Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides movie

Bee Season
After embracing Buddhism, the actor Richard Gere is getting very attentive which movies to be involved in. In all honestly, I am not surprised that he chose to particate in “Bee Season”. The biggest surprise was that this is not a Gere or Juliet Binochet movie, but solely a …
Life of Pi (movie)
A couple years ago, I had to read the book “Life of Pi” for a literature class. I had heard one or two other students say that it was a very good book, but whenever I had gotten to read it for myself, I wasn’t anywhere near as impressed …
Fast Food Nation
Everyone already knows that fast food is bad for you. When it comes to movies, Supersize Me covered that quite thoroughly. But what if that hamburger wasn’t just packed with calories, but also possibly contained something far worse? That’s the premise, on the surface at least, of Fast Food …

Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
The Haunted Mansion
I am not an Eddie Murphy fan. I wasn’t fond of him back in the days of Saturday Night Live, and I have never liked his comedy bits. He’s way too out of my comfort zone for acceptable and appropriate comedy. That said, the best thing …
Connie and Carla
Connie and Carla is a nice comedy movie. The movie stars Nia Vardalos, Toni Collette and David Duchovny in the main roles and they did a nice job. It is the story of two friends, Vardalos and Collette whose love for musical theater makes them remain jobless. They don’t …

Divergent was one of those movies that I found really didn’t stand out enough for me to notice it at the time that it was released. I decided to watch it after several people told me it was a good science fiction movie even though I had my doubts about …
The Last Samurai film
“Nations like men sometimes have their own destiny”. Each tradition owns a unique beauty and in Edward Zwick’s best epic film the main emotional strings sing under the aerie tranquility of the spirit of Japan.

Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray Movie
After Alien 3 didn’t really impress me, I wasn’t sure Alien Resurrection would be any good. I purchased the Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray. The filmmakers ended the series on a really strong note, giving some finality to the alien storyline. Ripley died to keep the …
Mangal Pandey - movie
Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …
Coyote Ugly
I love the sexiness of the leading ladies in the movie, Coyote Ugly. Each time I catches it on DVD I would be like admiring their killer bods and how these women manage to maintain their bodies and wearing hipster and all that and getting away with it.
The storyline …
Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …

My Life in Ruins
Although it is, in my opinion, a chick-flick, “My Life in Ruins” is a great, light-hearted movie, and if you enjoyed “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” then you will be sure to enjoy this movie. The writing and acting will not be recognized at the Oscars next year, but …

I am reviewing the movie, Chalk. This is a mockumentary about teachers. This movie follows around a history teacher, a PE teacher, and a group of others. It focuses on the challenges of the classroom, dealing with disipline and kids. Issues about classroom behavior, ethics, testing, …

Fast and Furious Movie
I was really excited when this movie came out, it features the whole original team from the first movie and I was so excited that I watched this on the first day it showed. However it was all hype and the excitement was done just when Michelle Rodriguez died …
Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger movie
I would not want to tell you what happens in the film, perhaps only roughly. Same thing happened when I saw Closer, we concluded that the story is too good to tell everybody what happens.
The story is fairly complex because it follows the fates of several couples, old age …
Shawn of the Dead
It took a long time for me to watch Shawn of the Dead, because I thought it would simply be one of those stupid satires on horror movies, similar to Scary Movie and its sequels, and I am not very fond of those films. But, a few years ago, …
Protect and Serve: A Thriller by Vince Flynn
Another installment in Vince Flynn’s popular Mitch Rapp series. As usual, Flynn is right up to date with his settings and back stories.

At first I thought, Oh great Blair Witch 2008. But after several minutes, I realized this was not at all like Blair Witch! Whereas …
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was a great homage to all the cliff hanger serials of the 1930s and 1940s. It was another blockbuster for the 1980s and was 1981’s biggest box office hit. It helped to solidify Spielberg as one of the top directors in Hollywood and …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …
Children of Men movie

Reign Over Me (R, 2007)
You know, I need to start this review by saying that I almost didn’t rent this movie just because Jada Pinkett was in it. It’s not that I hate her as an actress, per se. I just find that her acting ability seems to forced in …
