This is a fantasy entertainer. The story is about a girl, and her adventurous journey to the land of unknown, and the film has lot of good special effects to back up this fantasy. It has an adventurous plot with a kid doing lot of impressive things and it …
Nicholas Nickleby Movie
“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …
Slumdog Millionaire movie
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.
I finally had the time to watch this …
Night of the Comet
On the surface, the movie Night of the Comet should be nothing more than a B rated horror flick with no real redeeming qualities. Let’s face facts, having the Earth overrun by zombies isn’t exactly a unique concept.
But, after watching the movie for the first time this past weekend, …
The Perfect Stranger Movie
This movie has a very low rating on imdb.com but I say so otherwise and I think this is a great suspense and thriller movie. It had me thinking until the very end and there’s a twisted ending that’s nice too and although I had always been thinking that …
The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …

“Ramona and Beezus” (2010 Film)
If anyone is familiar with the “Ramona Quimby” novels by Beverly Cleary and feared that the film relating to the novels might not do the book justice, then you have nothing to worry about. Yes, this 2010 film called “Ramona and Beezus” is based from the books, but no …
The Possession of Michael King (2014 Horror Film)
I enjoy a good horror film, but unfortunately it is one of those genres that is becoming washed out with tired ideas and weak plots. Despite this, I still try to keep the hope alive and watch new releases of horror films. In this case I stumbled across The possession …
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) movie
When I was in middle school I was so excited to see this movie but my parents would never allow me to see it because of the gore and violence. So now many years later I decided to buy it just to see if I was missing out on …
Casino Movie
I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …

My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …

Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …

Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …
The Garden (NR, 2006) movie
This movie has the feel of a low-budget thriller. And at first I was reluctant to sit through an entire viewing. But since someone actually referred the movie to me, I gave it a chance. I am glad that I did. While I found …
Cool World movie
One of the rare films were reality and animation is combined. Gabriel Byrne in the leading role as an animator who’s creations comes to life for unknown reasons.

When I saw Hermione’s dress in the film, I just died!!!
It’s …
Ghosts of Cite de Soleil (R, 2006) movie
A friend brought over a copy of this movie. I immediately thought of the City of God, although that film takes place in Brazil. Anyway, this film features two young Haitian men who have been called to serve in an army called “Chimeres”. These are basically …
School of Rock
I don’t normally like the actor Jack Black in movies, and I don’t normally like his movies either. In fact, one of the few which I remember liking was “Saving Silverman”. This is why I found it so difficult to watch the movie “School of Rock” after it was …
Do Not Disturb movie
Doris Day stars with Rod Taylor in Do Not Disturb. It’s not a big favorite of mine, and it’s not as fun or entertaining as her movies with Rock Hudson and James Garner were. While Taylor’s other outing with Day, The Glass Bottom Boat, was a winner …
The Secret Life of Bees movie
I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …
Feature Film “Twilight Saga: Eclipse “
I just watched the movie Eclipse and I did really enjoy it. I have seen both of the other movies, and this is the best so far. I believe this is mostly because the budgets have gotten better and the actors have grown. Most of the …

Girl Interrupted
I didn’t watch the movie Girl Interrupted because I wanted to. I watched it because my wife insisted on seeing it. While I won’t go as far as to say I hated the movie, it definitely isn’t one I was all that interested in watching.
The movie follows the lives …

Romancing the Stone movie
The very first thing I became aware of when Romancing the Stone began was how difficult it was to focus on what was happening because during this first bit, the theme music to How the West was Won playing. Of course, it does match what is going on, …
