One Million Years BC movie
The appeal of the movie One Million Years BC can be boiled down to two points: Dinosaurs and Raquel Welch in a leather bikini. (Depending on your tastes you can determine which of those two points is the more important). Beyond that, well, there’s not much to …
Legally Blonde movie
I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …

“Jumper” (2008 film)
The 2008 film “Jumper” starring Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christenson, looked to be a great action movie that would catch the viewers attention. The actors in the film are known for many other roles in which they really shined, and I had anticipated that the same would be said …

Shrek 2 movie
I’ve just finished watching Shrek 2 for the first time - yes, I know, took me a while to get to it. Especially since I enjoyed Shrek 1 and looked forward to see the sequel.
Overall, I was not disappointed. The movie has the same refreshing humor with non-traditional twists …
Road Trip
When the movie Road Trip first came out, I will confess I wasn’t overly impressed by it. For the most part, it seemed to be pretty much every other college movie I’ve ever seen.
Then, after watching it for about the third time, I think I might have finally realized …
Three monkeys movie
The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …

The Aviator, movie
You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …

The Hunger Games (Movie)

The Ice Harvest
“The Ice Harvest” is a black comedy with the actor, John Cusack in top form. What I found interesting about this movie is that it is based during the Christmas season but there is not a lot of Christmas spirit, unless one is referring to alcohol.

Among the Cutting Edge movies that were made (there were three) this is what I like best. I have probably seen it five times already. I enjoy watching this because I like figure skating and The Cutting Edge has plenty of scenes showcasing some fancy maneuvers. It is funny …
The grudge 2
If you have already seen the first one, you really don’t want to see this one. For Sarah Michelle Gellar’s fans out there, she died right at the beginning of the movie. Her sister (not from the first movie) replaces her. This sequel is so confusing. All you see …

Powder Movie
“Powder” is one of the worth watching movies I ever watched. The story is very emotional and sensational. Direction, Cast and crew and the other supports have done their duty well.
Here I mention the story in brief to give an idea about the film.
A pregnant woman was attacked and …
