Right when I had gotten used to Pierce Brosnan as Bond they took him away from me. This after they took away Timothy Dalton, who I thought brilliant, after a mere two films. Even though I disliked many of the Brosnan Bond films, I loved Goldeneye and even found …

Sean Connery makes his comeback as 007 in this expensive and spectacular Bond film. This time Bond recieves the mission to find out why some petty diamond thieves has chosen not the sell their trade. Remarkable stunts, a nice sense of humor and a breathtaking pace is what is …

From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …

Not being a fan of either Rowan Atkinson (who plays Johnny English) nor a fan of James Bond, it often surprises me that this DVD version of the film is in my collection at all. Every so often when the mood is right it is taken out and …

At first, people only have one language, but since the incident tower of Babel, God to punish man they have so many languages, so that written in the book of the Gospel. This film highlights the three stories in three different places, but there is a red thread that …

This ‘Sexy Beast’ movie was recommended to me by a friend who usually has good taste in films. He was right, I really loved it. Gangster films are not usually my thing but I thought this film was really special and can only partially be classed as …

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 …

This is supposed to be a more artsy depiction of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Paul Morrissey, perhaps the weirdest filmmaker ever, directed this. It stars Udo Kier as dr Frankenstein, the rest are mostly amateurs. I don’t know if I would call this film artsy, but it certainly was …

Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …

Despite having a secretary, Wade keeps using Lucy as another one, burdening her with ridiculous personal requests. Tired …

After watching the original “Save the Last Dance” movie, I must admit that the second version cannot be compared with the first one. I feel that that this movie misses out because the actors in the main roles have been changed and the script is not as good as …

I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.
The idea of two outlaw brothers taking a family of three (who were …

Marisa Tomei is one of those actresses who pops up in an unexpected film and steals the show. She did so in “Danika”—”a film about a woman who has a tight hold on her children, and is a bit overprotective. This is the way the film is …

I had to see what all the hype was about. “Benjamin Button” was THE talked-about film of the year: critics raved about the film, and it was nominated for all kinds of awards.
The premise was strange and unique: a baby boy is born old, and grows younger throughout his …

When I first saw the movie “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, I was not the slightest bit interested in it for several reasons. The very first one was the fact that the actor Seth Rogen was in one of the lead roles as Zack, and I have never …

Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …

B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …

One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …

The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …

The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen in my life and that’s saying alot because I don’t get easily scared by horror movies. I know in my mind that horror movies that feature monsters like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and …

Of all the Jodie Foster films I have seen recently, this one was the most interesting—¦ but quite a departure from the kinds of films I’ve seen her in. The Brave One features Jodie in the lead role as a fiancée whose lover is killed in Central …

I have heard this film is one of Audrey Hepburn’s acclaimed performances. I personally believe it’s also the most critically-absorbing film in the entire Audrey Hepburn —˜genre’. The austere screenplay was very consistent to the point that it almost felt like watching an art film. The …

A film about the life of an ordinary family in Tokyo, anime style.
The film was directed by Isao Takahata, well known around the world for his Grave of the Fireflies. The difference between Takahata and Miyazaki for example is very big. Takahata’s films are based in the real world, …

As someone who loved the original, The Legend of Zorro was a hugely disappointing sequel. The scenery was still beautiful and I still liked the main actors, and the humor still made me laugh, but the magic was lost. The dignity of the first was abandoned in …

City of Angels is a movie that stars Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. In this movie Nicholas is an Angel who retrieves souls as they are on their way to heaven. The movie is eerie in the premises that Angels are among us all the time, they smooth …

Streets of Fire with Rick Moranis, Willem Dafoe, Diane Lane, Michael Pare, and Amy Madigan.

I wasted 93 minutes of my life to watch this movie. I waited and waited for it to be funny still waiting!!! This was the most stupid movie I have ever seen. Everyone warned me not to see it but I did not listen to their advice. …

Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …

This film came out the same year as …

Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …

This movie is definitely a must see. It starts out with showing Dwyane Johnson in prisoner and you begin to wonder why is he in prisoner, but as you watch it you realize that there is more to this than meets the eye. Basically, what it’s about is …

I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …

This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …

This was a film that was a big disappointment for many when it came out, but has been revalued among certain people and is considered as the funniest film of the whole 1990s by some of my friends. The story is that of a cable guy played by Jim …

Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …

Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …

On my rotten fruit throwing list, this one ranks pretty high, but it’s not the worst I hever ever seen.
Kevin Costner plays a father who is confused over his daughter’s weird behavior and makes every stupid mistake that can be made in a horror film to be sure that everything …

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 …

Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …
