Back in the 1950s, they made the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a movie. I still think it is one of the better invasion movies of all time. But, today I’m going to review the 1978 remake of the film starring Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum
While not …

We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.

The movie Waterworld was on cable the other night and, because I haven’t seen it in a while, I decided to sit down and watch it.
I remembered it being much better than it turned out to be.
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I will say he put …

I saw Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” a few years back and, although I don’t think it was a masterpiece, it was still an interesting look at husband-wife relationships.
When the sequel, “Why Did I Get Married, Too?” came out on dvd, I decided to watch it. To …

“Dead Birds” is one of my friend’s favourite horror movies, and he kept insisting that I watch it, and so I did. Up to now, I still think the movie, which I believe is a low budget B-rated horror film, is one of the best B-rated horror films …

I am reviewing the movie, The Odd Couple 2, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. There are two movies in this series, and this is the second one. The first one is, naturally, called The Odd Couple, and it features a very young looking Walter Matthau and …

One of my favorite family movies growing up was Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s one of Robin Williams’ best movies, I think. In it, he plays the father of three children that he hardly gets to see because of his divorce. So, he disguises himself as a senior-age …

Cleaner the movie is running short than 2 hours but I think it is not that bad of a movie. This is about a crime story and at first when my sister brought this DVD movie home, I thought it’s another funny comedy flick or something. But once …

The first time I saw Simon Pegg was in the movie ‘Shaun of the Dead’ which I didn’t really watch more than a few minutes of because I had just watched it from the middle and wasn’t really into it. The next time I saw the actor was in his …

After the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Terminator 2; a further sequel was obviously inevitable. However tightly the second movie concluded, however finally that last act seemed; box office gain would always dictate another movie would be made. Unfortunately, Terminator 3 neither provides a worthy successor to its predecessors, …

Quite frankly, I have no intention to watch other Stanley Kubrick (otherwise known as the greatest American filmmaker ever) films after being disappointed by 2001: A Space Odyssey. I watched that film after the release of Nolan’s Interstellar two years ago and I never got the correlation among the two. …

When this movie came out, Anne Hathaway was pretty young. She was playing a sixteen year old who has no idea that she is a princess in a royal court. In school, she is not popular at all. She has really frizzy afro-like hair and the only person she …

Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …

David Lean’s version of Oliver Twist, filmed in 1948, is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the beloved Dickens novel. Dark and depressing, the movie well captures the misery of a poor orphaned child, raised by people who don’t care for him, starved and abused. The casting and …

I’m glad I saw the newer Punisher, with John Travolta as the villain, before I saw the original Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. It started out with promise, with Castle already presumed dead, and Punisher on his vigilante jaunt for five years now. Then it quickly …

I just took a few minutes to review the movie Scary Movie. Since I did that, I wanted to take another couple minutes to talk about the sequel, Scary Movie 2; which is one of the very few sequels that might actually be better than the original.
I like this …

This is a wonderful BBC miniseries, and I recommend it highly. It’s based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, a Victorian writer, contemporary with Charles Dickens.
The story centers on Molly Gibson, a young girl living in England in the 1830’s. Molly is the only child of a local …

This movie had gotten mixed reviews. The general consensus is that people who have read the book were disappointed, while people who haven’t read the book liked it a bit more. I fall into the latter.
I found it to be quite enjoyable. It was well paced, …

I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …

It is hard to make a comedy where your main premise centers around two men who are dying of cancer. Still, they tried with The Bucket List.

St Trinian’s is a laugh out loud movie that I’ve watched and it wouldn’t work without the funnymen Colin Firth and Rupert Everett especially. This is a story about a school called St Trinian’s and the students are trying their best to save this school from a deep pit …

Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is, in my opinion, the best sea faring movie ever made. That is a very bold statement but that shows how much I thought of Master and Commander. I was shocked by how accurate the history was in …

What was the essence of ‘The Fountain’, the film work of Darren Aronofsky (requiem for a Dream) is this? Search will be eternal life or melodrama about true love? I think, after witnessing film, is a combination of both and is not too bad.
