Ever since I heard about the new movie coming out from one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton I knew I had to see it. Even before watching the trailer and even before knowing that the stop motion animation was a remake of one of his earliest movies, I …

Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …

I am totally fascinated about this movie. That may be because prior to watching, I never had any idea what this was all about. And that turned out to be everything I have never imagined that I would be seeing in this movie. I may …

Astro Boy is a TV cartoon series, back when I was still very young, which made its debut in the movies. This is actually one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time. The story is about a scientist who created a robot with the emotions and …

I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …

I hadn’t been to the movie theater in a long time since the big screen seems dominated by typical hollywood trash. But Michael Jackson’s This Is It was truly an exception because it’s an original movie that stands out in a culture full of one cheesy remake after …

I was really surprised by this film. In watching the previews, I was a bit surprised that the film was as decent as it was. This is because the previews were really wack. The movies advertised were so below par, that I thought I …

Back in the late nineties and early 2000s, I remember that one of the most talked about movies was one named “Shakespeare in Love”. I remember even though I was still very young back then, they hype made me curious to watch the movie. However, I finally got to watch …

I’m a huge fan of Judd Apatow films but I have to say this one missed the mark for me. It has a strong cast of comedy but the plot just never seemed to come together for me and it just seemed some what thrown together.
The main character Ida …

The entire movie felt like an indie film from start to finish. The script was refreshing, the cinematography was very basic yet effective and the cast was not that famous but still lived up to their roles. I never liked Anne Hathaway and her character as Kym only solidified …

I have heard of the movie The Green Berets and have seen bits and pieces of the film in the past. But, this past weekend was the first time I had an opportunity to watch the entire movie. And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.
My dad is a …

I happen to be HUGE Harry Potter fan, and I was so excited to go see the new movie this Sunday. In the past, I didn’t quite get how good these books were, but my cousin who happened to own the first three books made me read them one summer …

For a catchy title, I don’t really find this movie that scary at all. My boyfriend loves it though. Drag Me to Hell has its fair share of horror but I don’t think I enjoy the movie very much. The curse plot looks good in the beginning …

The Cobbler is a very different kind of movie to the ones normally associated with its star, Adam Sandler. He’s had movies, such as Reign Over Me, that have really demonstrated his ability to tackle serious subject matter and deliver moving performances. Whilst I am a fan of some of …

Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …

The Dark Gothic film that claimed the life of Brandon Lee. One of my favorite movies of all time, as not everyday you see a corpse rising from the grave to right to wrongs done to him. Not a zombie type role either…but undead and kicking butt from corner …

A few years ago the Boston Redsox came back from utter defeat to win against their arch rival the New York Yankees. They later went on to win the World Series and the entire state went wild. The following year in 2005 a movie was released called …

I watched this movie about two nights ago. It was a lot better than I though it was going to be. There were quite a few funny parts, and it was just fun to watch. Some of the parts weren’t really funny but you enjoyed watching it and it …

Remember the actress Audrey Tautou..? Well, if you want to refresh your memory, do watch Priceless for a good night-in of DVD rounds. I watched this just yesterday and this is what I have to say: definitely a movie that is super worth it for the die-hard romantics …

Dishonorable brokerage firms is the main topic of this dramatic movie, it shows the lives of those people who, on a daily basis try to convince the naive and innocent investor that they must give up their hard earned money to these shady dealers. They were raking in the …

I have recently been introduced in world cinema with this Francois Truffaut film, and to my surprise, I seriously love this masterful class of work. At first, it seems like just a typical film that I keep on ignoring every time my television plays some black and white film, …

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 …

I had seen the movie “Devil in a Blue Dress” being shown on a few cable television movie channels for years, but never watched it at the time since I just didn’t think that I would have any interest in the movie. However, recently since I have begun to …

“You’ve Got Mail” has a couple of good taglines, “someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life,” and “at odds in life… in love on-line.” Both of them fit in very well with the plot of the movie. One should remember that ten …

Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …

The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 is a movie based on the last two books in the sisterhood but the movie does not follow the story line of the books. I absolutely hate when a movie based on a book goes all out of order. What confused me …

What the hell is up with George Clooney? The man is showing up in all of these goddamn films and half of them—¦wait no, most of them suck! The one movie that really got me pissed off at the movie theaters was The Men Who Stare at Goats. This …

For a long time before actually watching The Harvey Girls, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but then once I finally sat down and told myself to watch, I got it! The Harvey Girls tells of a group of women who moved west to, well, be glorified …

I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …

Can a suddenly blind director make a movie? This problem is the basis of the plot of Woody Allen’s film. It offers many attacks on Hollywood and its stampeded products. However, it was interesting to observe the creator who finds himself in a critical situation. How will he behave? How …

Shoot Fighter with Martin Kove, William Zabka, and Maryam D’Abo.
When John Claude Van Dam and Bruce Lee introduced martial arts tournament movies to the American audience, it spawned a generation of copycat films of lesser quality. Shoot Fighter is one of these. You …

I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …

Bond movies recently have not lived up to there predecessors from the Connery or Dalton days. So, Casino Royale is just another money grab with the 007 nametag right? Wrong. Not only is this one of the best Bond movies, it is also one of the …

I finally got a chance to sit down and relax about 8 last night and, while flipping channels, came across a movie I haven’t seen in a while; Tremors 3.
This movie, which is of course, the third movie in the Tremors series, isn’t anywhere near as good as the …

We like movies, a whole lot and that is one of our favorite pasttimes. There are movies that are today’s classics, these are the movies that you would not mind seeing again and again.
I personnally like Bruce Willis as an actor. When I saw the first …

A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …

Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman star in this football movie about a former College Quarterback who is given a chance in the NFL (with other “replacement” players, when a strike is underway. This movie hits the spot for most movie fans, but it could have been better. I am …

Do you ever have those days at work where all the technology in the place just seems to be going wrong!?.. The internet is down, the fax machine isn’t working…AGAIN!, or the copier just keeps sending out paper, after paper, after paper…?
