V for Vendetta: Movie
I feel that V for Vendetta is a very good film that is based on what I feel is an excellent topic.
The storyline of government rebellion is something that I’ve always been interested in, so a film like this was great for someone like me.
One of the things I …
9 Songs movie
This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …
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 …
Forever Strong
There used to be a time when I loved sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall but then I came to realize they are all the same; they use some sport to teach kids confidence and give a quick lesson about life.
I had hoped the movie …

X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …
The Death of Stalin, movie (2017)
I watched the acclaimed film The Death of Stalin. What can I say? A good comedy, similar to Monty Python’s work - in some places absurdist humor that makes the film funny in the best sense of the word.
The plot does not sag anywhere. It is interesting to watch from …
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …
Red Cliff movie
The title of the movie does not give away much about the movie itself, although it will give you an idea that it is a place or location which will be significant in the movie.
Basically, this is a war movie set in ancient China wherein a very powerful Prime …
The New Daughter movie
I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie
If your a fan of the x-men series this movie may leave you entertained and a bit disappointed.
Hugh Jackman makes a great Wolverine. His character delivery is very similar to the original 3 movies. I thought his preform ace was good and right on where it needed to be. …

Coyboy Bebop episode 1

The first Fantastic Four was released in 2005, and it was successful. Surprisingly, after 10 years, creators decided to reboot the series.

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 …
She’s The Man

Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …
Ella Enchanted
Ella Enchanted is somewhat of a cross between Cinderella and Shrek. We have a modernized fantasy world with ogres, elves, giants, taxi carriages and man-powered wooden escalators. And we have a teenage girl Ella who lives with a step mother and (of course) her two evil daughters. However, there …

Hairspray (movie)
I watched the movie Hairspray, the new movie and not the original, for kicks and grins. Was I disappointed! I suppose that I should have taken my own cues that I was not too impressed with the first version of Hairspray! Anyway, if you want to listen to pop …
The September Issue (2009)
‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …
The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …
Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)

Streetfighter (movie)
What can I say Streetfighter is probably one of the worst movies based on a video game ever made. This movie tried to use the star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme but not even that was able to save the movie. The probably with Streetfighter was that the people who …
