The famous black-and-white 1951 British version of “A Christmas Carol” starring Alastair Sim is considered a classic and loved by many. Before I had watched it for the first time, I heard his movie praised so much that I thought I was going to love it as well. However, …

Mid-life soft …

This was a really good movie. Although it made me cry a lot during the movie. Some of the previews made it look like a funny movie and although it had a couple funny parts in it, it was more sad than anything. I cried almost throughout the whole …

Movies that emit contagious amount of goodness are rare these days, but this new Theodore Melfi-directed film is such a treat to the senses. It’s no denying that I applauded so many times in the duration of this movie.

I was one of those people who was interested in watching the movie “The Thoery of Everything” long before it became nominated for various awards and won several Oscars. This was because I was thrilled with the idea of a movie about Professor Stephen Hawking’s life, his romance with Jane …

The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …

I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …

When the Prince & Me came out on DVD, I avoided it. But, when it showed up on cable, my wife forced me to watch it. What a cheesy film.
I’m sorry but how many movies can you possibly make about a rich spoiled brat from another country who falls …

Columbo: Grand Deceptions is not one of the movies I enjoy very much. While Peter Falk is always intriguing and watching him facing off against all the murderers is the joy of the Columbo series, some of the ones that surround the military or politics just don’t work …

“Final Destination” is a good horror movie about what happens when you try to escape death. Of all the horror movies I’ve scene, I honestly thought this film had a great cast: Ali Larter, Devon Sawa, Kerr Smith, Tony Todd, and Seann William Scott.
The movie is about a …

The 40 Year Old Virgin was surprisingly good. I thought it might be just a dumb comedy, but it was a comedy with heart and some intelligence. Steve Carrell plays the titular character without become a caricature. Sure he does some nerdy things like collect huge …

I thought that “The Wild Thornberrys” surpassed my expectations of what it would be like. I knew that it would do well in theatres as the series seemed to be quite popular amongst many children at the time, but I thought that if I watched it I might find …

This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …

This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …

As a young child, one of my scariest memories was made as a result of watching the movie “The Langoliers” one night. I was not able to get the images of giant meatball-like creatures with moving razor sharp teeth out of my head, and often had dreams about them. …

This episode of Dead Like Me entitled Always was one of the most poignant episodes of the Showtime science fiction series. It concluded an ongoing subplot that had gone on for much of the season with Mandy Patinkin’s character of Rube. Without spoiling what the final resolution …

I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …

The waitress is great and funny movie with a big heart. It is blend between comedy, a satire and a diary. Although the films deals with a serious subject matter it is told in an easy and entertaining way. …

I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …

Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.

It was because of Candyman why I avoided taking a shower for a week as a kid. I was afraid to be alone in the bathroom, much less pass by a mirror where I knew he would jump out and get me. I really liked the first movie and I …
