Revolutionary Road movie
After eleven years from the movie ‘Titanic’, the actors Kate Winslet and Leonardo diCaprio reunite again on the set of “Revolutionary Road”. This reunion comes in a very different atmosphere from the first movie because this time directing the movie is Sam Mendes, Winslet’s husband.
“Revolutionary Road” is the …
Evan Almighty
This is an amazingly respectful movie on a spiritual theme - respectful to God and faith. The title clearly hints on Bruce Almighty that had come out in 2003, but it is not a sequel; just a similar story. The similarity is made even closer with the same actor, …
The Call of the Wild, film (2020)
On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …

This sequel to the block buster original simply called ‘Dirty Dancing’ is basically the same movie but instead of it being staged in the United States of America, it was staged in Cuba. A young girl from a well off family goes to a retreat and falls for the …

If Only Movie
This Movie was released 4 years ago. My friend just recommended me to watch this love story movie by Jennifer Love Hewitt. I never thought that Jennifer is really in acting, but I discovered she begun doing movies since early 90’s. I found this movie interesting because I never …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14 was a funny episode in its own way. It talks about falling in love at first sight. It would be hard to believe though that anyone would truly fall in love at first sight with a holodeck character though. However maybe in …
Barbarella (1968)
Starring: Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg, Joan Greenwood, Milo O’Shea, Marcel Marceau, David Hemmings, Claude Dauphin, and Ugo Tognazzi.
Directed by: Roger Vadim.
Erotic science fiction in the late 1960s? Who would have ever thought of it? Apparently, a comic artist named Jean-Claude Forest did when he created “Barbarella” and …

The Princess and The Frog (2009), a Disney’s Movie
I grew up watching Disney’s movies like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, and I remember quite well that I enjoyed ever movie. So that when I saw the trailer of this movie, The Princess and The Frog, I couldn’t help to immediately recall the childhood of mine while …

Hangover 3 is the last part of the Hangover trilogy that was released in 2013. The last part of the trilogy was again directed by Todd Phillips who directed the first two parts of this trilogy. I previously enjoyed the Hangover and Hangover 2 like no other. It was …

It’s Just a Ride movie
A film about the life of stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. Interviews with friends, family and colleagues are mixed with actual re-creations of his private life and authentic material from his live shows. What could have been a very interesting documentary about this genius of a comedian is somehow turned …
Jammin in Jamaica
Jammin in Jamaica is a kid movie intended for teenage girls. It’s not exactly my cup of tea though but my girls like it. It’s about a group of teenage girls and their boyfriends who play in a band. The boys get an opportunity to go to Jamaica for …
Earth: movie
This is, and hold on to your chair, my absolute favorite film of all time. I just wanted to clear that out before anything else. As I am a fan of cinema, that is the visual element before anything, the basic story in Earth isn’t really that interesting. Of …
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is the latest production to come from Pixar, infamous for many popular computer animated films such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Cars. Fans of their movies will not be disappointed in Ratatouille, since it still shows the incredible animating skills of the studio along with the Disney, …
Edge of Darkness (2010) movie
I’m always hesitant to watch a Mel Gibson film but I decided to jump in and try this one. Edge of Darkness is a movie based on an old BBC series with the same name.
Mel Gibson is a detective named Thomas Craven who’s daughter is shot outside of his …
Daredevil movie
“Daredevil” is a 2003 movie starring Ben Affleck as Daredevil, The Man Without Fear. Daredevil is my all-time favorite Marvel Comics superhero, and I watched this movie the first time with high hopes. My high hopes were dashed by the first viewing, but I probably still like …
50 First Dates
50 First Dates stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
This classic love story takes place in beautiful Oahu, Hawaii, and aside from this location, it was clearly a clone of the Wedding Singer that also starred these two actors. Aside from this fact, I loved the …
Up (2009) movie
I went and saw this with a friend (even though it’s a kids’ movie and we’re both adults) because we had heard a lot of good things about it. And Pixar usually puts out good movies, so it wasn’t like it was a risk or anything. The fact that …
Due South: Free Willie
Due South: Free Willie reminded me of a series I watched a lot called McCloud. In that show, Dennis Weaver played a United States Marshal from Taos, New Mexico who was temporarily assigned to duty in New York City. He was a fish out of water, but …

Management movie
I love this movie! Management, starring one of my most favorite actress, Jennifer Aniston, is such a good movie. Alongside her is Steve Zahn and both of them have great chemistry together. I watched this movie and I thought it’s going to be a bad one, but surprisingly …

Mr. Deeds
My sisters bought me some movies for Christmas. One of the movies was Mr. Deeds. I hadn’t seen the whole movie all the way through so I decided to watch it. It was actually better than I thought. For some reason I thought that the movie was stupid but …
Movie 21
This is one such movie that really gives an adrenaline rush to the spectators. Not only it proves to be a full-fledged entertainer but also teaches us that greed always leads to the downfall. The movie is about gambling and how one can get addicted to gambling and …
Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …
My Little Eye
The horror film “My Little Eye” was a film which I thought had a lot of potential to be a very good horror film if it was written better, was filmed better, had better actors and an even better director. Nevertheless, I think the film failed since it was …
Mighty Aphrodite
Woody Allen has always been my favorite director and he is a great actor too. I recently bought the DVD of Mighty Aphrodite as I read some good reviews about the movie. Lenny is a sports writer and his wife is Amanda. They don’t have any kids and Amanda …
Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties
We got Garfield, Tale of Two Kitties last week and were very impressed. It was a great family movie that had a great mix of action and comedy. I only wish I could have gotten my energetic 2-year-old to watch more of it.
I found myself laughing every few seconds …
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …
Music and Lyrics
I went to this movie because I usually like Drew Barrymore movies and I also have liked Hugh Grant in other movies. I actually quite enjoyed this movie, wherein Hugh Grant plays a washed up 80s boyband singer and Drew Barrymore plays, well, I’m not certain what her job …
Movie: Scooby Doo and the Monster of Mexico
Since my daughter is now in school again, I don’t get to spend as much time with her during the week. So, last night, since my wife was too tired after work to have a family movie night (her and the baby were in bed before 8), I decided …
Push movie
I watched the movie Push last weekend with some friends. I really liked the movie. It was much better than I was expecting. Dakota Fanning is such an amazing actress. She was an amazing child actress and I think she may be an even better adult actress. She is …
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Space Opera Movie (2015)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a 2 hour 15 minute masterpiece. I watched the movie in IMAX 3D, a format I definitely recommend to anyone that has not watched the movie because the visuals are outstanding. I’m now excited to see how this new Star Wars trilogy will unfold.
The …
Hey Babby
HEY BABBY..This is the directorial debut of Sajid Khan who has been on the Indian movie and Tv scene for so many years now.Well,the movie definitely screams Sajid Khan from beginning to end…be it his good pal SRK’s appearance in the song Mast Kalandar,the ten or so skimpily clad …
Hacksaw Ridge (2016 Biographical War Drama Film)
I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …
Brothers (2009) movie
Brothers was an interesting film to say the least the three lead roles really made this movie for me, but overall I enjoyed it and it somewhat relates to real life.
The plot of the movie is pretty straight forward but there are lots of subtle entities that you …
Ichi The Killer
Ichi the Killer is a film from the borderline insane Japanese director Miike Takashi, a man well known for the extreme content of his films… and with Ichi, he has managed to surpass even himself. As well as being one of his most outrageous films, it is also …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, directed by Chris Columbus is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for scary moments, some creature violence and mild language. The original release date was November 15, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of …
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 …
3000 Miles to Graceland movie
To be honest I am not that big of a action/adventure movie. Being a female I am all about comedy and chick flicks. However, I am a huge Elvis fan and since I had nothing else to do a friend of mine and I went and saw this movie. …
Children Of Men (Film)
Children Of Men is a film which takes place in London and is set in the future in quite an apocalyptic situation. I don’t remember the exact year of this movie but I do recall that in the film it has been 18 years since the last baby has …
Meet Bill (R, 2007)
“Meet Bill” is the kind of movie you watch when you have absolutely nothing to do, and you want to see a “bright” slightly sarcastic film. Bill is played by Aaron Eckhart. He wants to earn his father in-law’s respect, but can’t seem to do so. …
Bring It On (2000)
The movie is the story about cheerleaders, giving you a look at their lives and the sport they are involved in, plain and simple, nothing complicated, nothing magnificent, nothing glorified, just plain old cheerleaders doing what they do best. It is a comedy at that, with a nice little …
Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is the hilarious chronicle of the making of a movie about Vietnam where the director is ‘inspired’ to take his cast deep into the Vietnam jungle so that they can capture the movie in real time and give it a ‘gritty’ feel to the entire drama. It has …
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Neither a brilliant film in its own right or high scorer in the genre, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie as it is sometimes known, is a passable enough zombie movie that should prove watchable enough at least to any zombie fan. The story …
