Hollywood Homicide (2003)
I watched Hollywood Homicide on DVD with a friend. When we were through, the following conversation took place:
Friend: “Harrison Ford’s been in a lot of good movies, but…”
Me: “…this wasn’t one of them.”
This is a cop/buddy movie, starring Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett. I really wanted to like this …
Flying Daggers movie
The latest film by chinese visionary Zhang Yimou is an amazing visual journey to an ancient China. Filmed in the same style as Hero, Flying Daggers manages to thrill me with speechless action stunts and magical cinematgraphy. This is easily the most visually captivating film in a long time. …
The Wolf of Wall Street (movie)
I saw the trailer for the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” a little earlier than most people who I know, and even though I figured from the start that it would gain some amount of attention, it just didn’t interest me enough for me to make future plans …

I’m Reed Fish (2006)
To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …
Don’t Mess with Zohan
After having his last movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” blasted by criticism, the actor Adam Sandler had to come up with a good movie. This answer is in his last movie “Don’t Mess with Zohan” which on the whole seems to have won over the critics …
Wild About Harry film
I actually liked the movie “Wild About Harry” because it was differnt from a lot of comedy films which I have seen. I also thought it was hilarious even though I don’t think that it could put put in the category of exceptionally good films. I usually find myself …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
One of my favourite Disney animated films when I was little used to be “Alice in Wonderland.” Therefore, I was very happy to know a few years ago that they weere making a live action movie starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Ann Hathawy and the movie was …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Before the movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released in theatres and I only saw the trailer, I was anticipating spending money to watch it since I was so sure that it was going to be much better than the first. Everything from the villains to the special effects looked …
Tales From The Crypt DVD
I recently bought over the internet the complete set of all the Tales From The Crypt episodes. I always liked this TV show and now in one huge jewel case I have all the episodes in 22 comfortable dvd’s. Unfortunately thought the quality isn’t too great, given the fact …
The Dark Knight (2008 Film)
The 2008 film “The Dark Knight”, starring a terrific Christian Bale as Batman, and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, was even better than the first movie, “Batman Begins”. When in comparison, I feel that “The Dark Knight” has so much more power behind it’s actors, even more …

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014 Biblical Epic Film)
I read a novelization of the popular biblical tale of the Exodus last week. I was deeply astonished at how EPIC it was. Years prior, there was a Ridley Scott film that tackled the same subject for which I ignored because of the small ratings it got from critics.
However, …
Because I Said So

Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors
One of my favorite films in the Nightmare On Elm Street series is the third installment Dream Warriors. With a talented cast which includes Patricia Arquette, Lawerence Fishbure and Jennifer Rubin and a dynamite premise which acted as if part two never happened, Dream Warriors is one of …
Phone Booth Movie
Honesty and having the option to tell peole the complete truth is always taken for granted. The act of lying is being done way more than it should and things need to be changed. That is the main theme Joel Schumacher was trying to create while directing the movie …
The Princess Bride
The Princess Bride is a comedy classic. I really loved this movie. This was a great story with a great cast. I really thought that Wesley was very funny in the movie. I liked how he would always say as you wish to the princess. There love story was very …
The Ring Two
I am not sure if like the movie “The Ring”, “The Ring Two” was also based on the remake of a Japanese horror film. However, “The Ring Two” was the sequel of the movie “The Ring.” I would have preferred instead if this movie was a prequel to the …

Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
8 mm movie
I am the real movie watcher, I watch a lot. I have chosen this film because I am a huge psychological/detective movies lover. When I choose to watch that film I did not read any review, I even did not know what about it will be.
In my opinion the …

As usual this movie starts off with Harry back at the home of his foster parents and they are still doing their best to make his life as impossible and unhappy as they possibly can. But for every time that they try to do him ill, it always backfired …
“Ted” movie
I’m not a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane. I used to like “Family Guy”, but eventually grew tired of it to the point where even the early seasons aren’t as enjoyable as I remember them. “The Cleveland Show” was just awful from the start and, while I’ve …
Sin City
The movie Sin City is the prequel to the film SIn City 2. I can remmeber that some time before it was released in the year 2005, I would hear some of my schoolmates talking about it and saying that they were eager to see it in theatres. At …

This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …
Chrystal
I hesitated to watch this suspsense movie at first because it was low budget and I have not had very may good experiences with low budget suspense and thriller films since many of them I’ve watched have turned out to bear some of the qualities I generally see in …

My aunt treated me to the movies the other night, and we decided to watch Zodiac. It was just released in my country, and I have a great time watching this movie. Here is my review.
The movie is about a killing spree that sort of terrorized San …
Multiplicity (1996)
All I am thinking is that…if the role of Doug Kinney had been offered to someone else, this movie might not be as good as it was. I really love Michael Keaton. He is so versatile. By the way, Doug Kinney in the story whom Michael …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Babylon A.D. (2008)
This futuristic adventure that entails a mercenary contracted to deliver a young woman from the hills of a monastery to the city of New York takes the viewers on a ride like no other than you have seen before, or is it the other way around, it takes you …
Lucy (2014 film)
While the trailers made this movie look like a formulaic popcorn flick, I had heard generally good things about this movie. The truth is, it is something of a mixed bag.
As the trailers show, the movie follows a young woman (played by Scarlett Johansson) who becomes something superhuman …
March of the Penguins
March of the Penguins is one of my favorite movies and one I have watched several times. It is a documentary of the lives and struggles of Emperor penguins on the Antarctic continent but it is anything but boring. Narrated by Morgan Freeman this documentary is touching, …
Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …
The Age of Adaline (2015) - Movie
I found out about The Age of Adaline while scrolling through an article cataloguing new 2015 movie releases. I never saw the trailer but I decided to see this movie because I recognized the actress on the movie poster. I know Blake Lively from the TV show Gossip Girl and …

I watched the documentary special series called “Planet Earth”.
The shows were about the different geographical bodies of our planet and the animals which live in them.

Movie Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
The first disappointing Waldemar film of Paul Naschy’s career was the victim of a haphazard production schedule that saw much of the film never actually shot and padded footage from Marca Del Hombre Lobo inserted.
Pretty standard fare has Waldemar bitten by the yeti (!) …

Many people, …
Pathology film
“Pathology” is directed Marc Schoelermann and is written by the man who wrote “Crank” but please don’t let that scare you off. As much as I hated “Crank” and anyone of those “Leave you brain at the door” films but I took a chance …
