The Brontes of Haworth
It is a very rare situation that I cannot finish watching a movie. Especially a British one, and especially related to British classic authors. However, this is what happened with this one; I had surprised myself by being unable to finish even the first episode.
It is hard to say …

The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
The Love Guru
I’ve always liked Mike Myers as a comedian. However, some of his movies haven’t been anywhere near as good as his earlier films like Wayne’s World and Austin Powers Man of Mystery. So, when his movie The Love Guru came out, I ended up believing the critics when they …
Movie 17 Again
I recently ordered 17 Again from Netflix. I had mixed feelings about it. It was mildly entertaining with some cute parts, and I am a big fan of Michelle Trachtenburg, who plays the main character Mike’s daughter. Otherwise, the movie was a little cheesy and unrealistic. …

Taken movie
Now this is how you do an action movie. All the car chases that seemed hollow and perfunctory in the Transporter movies are done well.
The story’s simple enough, the trailer really gives you all the info you need to know. It’s a father racing against …
Superman II
The script for Superman II was written at the same time as the first movie. Even the filming was done nearly at the same time. The director of Superman, The Movie had completed seventy-five percent of the sequel, but tension between Richard Donner and the producers of both films …
Gravity Movie 2013
There are movie screenings after which when I get out of the cinema I feel strange for a while. As if I’m in another world. Everything is familiar, but somehow different, strange. That is a clear evidence that I’ve watched something great and insightful. I have immersed myself in …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
The 2005 film “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” came as a conclusion to an event in movie history, where the story came to an end and left me somehow wanting to know more. The film was not only graphically genius, suspenseful and sad, but it was one that …
Dan in real life
I was really excited to watch this movie. I watched it as soon as I got it in the mail. I thought it was going to be really funny. Well it was a little funny in the beginning and then the movie just got worse. It was boring, not …
I am Number Four (movie)
While I still can’t recall why exactly this was the case, I found that I wasn’t very interested in watching the movie “I am Number Four” when it was about to be released. I had watched the trailer and just wasn’t very impressed by what I had seen to …
The Haunted Mansion (2003)
This mega flop of a movie starring the ever lovable funny man Eddie Murphy failed to deliver on the hype that was promised, and overall, the entire movie did not even manage to make back the money they spent as budget to turn over a reasonable profit, but hey, …
The Changeling movie
“The Changeling,” starring the brilliant George C. Scott, is a ghost story filmed in the 1980s, and the scariest one despite its age. Unlike many contemporary horror movies that rely on blood and gore, “The Changeling” uses more subtle ways, which work much better. The creators of this movie …
The Baader-Meinhof Complex movie
I suppose watching The Baader-Meinhof Complex has totally alerted me to appreciate movie making of this genre very much. This is quite a deep movie and I have a certain analysis after watching it. In a world now where there are issues of terrorism and many more, watching …
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 …

48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …

Goodfellas
Some people may say that Godfather is the greatest gangster movie of all time, and while I agree that it is an amazing movie, I believe that Goodfellas surpasses the Godfather. Goodfellas follows the rise and fall of a mob, specifically the storylines of three characters, Ray Liotta, …
Moulin Rouge (Movie)
Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …

Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set
The Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set is a three DVD set that includes just five Columbo episodes. It’s not much, but that’s all of the movies that aired in 1989.
I don’t like how the DVDs are set up, however. Universal isn’t known for providing quality …
Nature vs. Nurture
Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …
North by Northwest movie
Perhaps the most famous and beloved of all Hitchcock’s films, made in a time when his artistic vision and innovative genius was at its absolute peak. The theme is very similar to all of his films: a man is mistaken for someone else and has to run away from …
Guess Who
I must admit that I really enjoy watching Ashton Kutcher’s movies, even though he seem to always present the same type of guy on screen. However the true success of “Guess Who” is entirely to the actor Bernie Mac excellent interpretation of the character Percy Jones.
“Guess who’ is a …
The Wrong Man dvd
Well when you see the likes of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman & Ben Kingsley starring together in a movie you’re sure it’ll be good. I have to say that the jury is still out ‘ the acting was great, the storyline was really good and even I …
Secret Window Movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end.

This was a great episode; it gave Juliet some character development and revealed a surprising truth about Neo …
PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern, the author, is the 22-year-old daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister. It is quite rare to find a book about a 30 year-old-widow written by one so young, as many writers tend to write on younger characters based on their past experiences. Ms Ahern is brave to try …
Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
I don’t ever recall seeing an Audrey Hepburn movie in TCM —“ the channel for classic films. Since the movies shown in the channel are largely MGM titles, my theory tells me Audrey Hepburn had simply not played any motion picture produced by this grand movie empire. …

Yeh Hai Jalwa (movie), 2002
Yeh Hai Jalwa, a stupid movie indeed but nice to watch at home. This film released in 2002. I watched it at home on TV. The director of the film is David Dhawan. As it is David Dhawan film it has to be stupid but mindlessly entertaining too. The …
“Profoundly Normal” (2003 Lifetime Movie Film)
This 2003 Lifetime Movie Newtwork film “Profoundly Normal”, starring Kirstie Alley and Delroy Lindo was really a movie that can touch the hearts of many people. I was unsure of what type of film this would be. But within the first few minutes of the film I realized what …

Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …

Stranded (2001) Movie

10 (movie)
The movie 10 catapulted Bo Derek into a household name. Bo is steamy hot in this film, although the acting leaves much to be desired. I like 10 because it’s cool to see an icon when she was young and very, very beautiful. Bo Derek can’t act worth a …
