The Fisher King Movie
Wow The Fisher King is probably now one of my favorite movies and probably one of the best performance by Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams. The story is so deep and heartfelt is almost made me cry at the end. The story is about this radio show host who is …
Hi Diddle Diddle movie
Some of these earlier movie musicals are so hard to describe simply because the plot can get a little offbeat and quirky. Of course, the same thing happens from time to time today, too, but some early films just didn’t have that much to them. Let’s take …
Stomp The Yard Movie
My brother recommended that I watch this movie since I loved dancing, and upon watching it I was first bored as the steps were quite robotic and it was so “formal”, the setting was in a university and it was quite different like cheerdancing is different to cheerleading, it …
Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian
Although this movie had been aired for quite some time in the cinema, I haven’t had the time to watch the movie until recently. I watched the first part, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and I find the storyline very interesting. That is why I watched …
The Lovely Bones
I had read the book and really wanted to see this movie. I took my daughter with me, as she had read the book as well. We were both hoping for a different ending than the book had, and we were happy to see an ending we both liked. …
Burn After Reading
Burn after reading is a 2008 movie of the Coen brothers. I had great expectations but I must say, right here at the beginning, and I got disappointed. First of all when I saw the list of actors; George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and the rest …
X-Men (2000 Film)
The 2000 film “X-Men” starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen is a supernatural film almost about a war that is being waged, as well as prejudice’s that people have over the unexplained and different. This is a topic that many people can relate to, and even …
Death Becomes Her (1992)
A more original plot you will never find or even dream of coming across in some lost text. Even if this movie is a remake or not, it has some great appeal and can easily be considered in my books of falling under the heading of an instant classic …

Sherlock Holmes 2009: The Movie
Sherlock Holmes is another great performance by Robert Downy Jr. who keeps the story extremely entertaining and exciting. Although at times the plot can be expected, it continues to keep mostly everyone interested in the movie. The plot is fun and exciting to watch as Sherlock Holmes puts together …
Conan the Barbarian
Up until very recently I was more familiar with the movie “Conan the Destroyer” than I was with its nineteen eighty two prequel “Conan the Barbarian”. However, I was finally able to see the movie “Conan the Barbarian” on cable television when the cable television channel G4TV aired it …
Crank Jason Statham
I was already a fan of Jason Statham because I fell in love with his gorgeous accent. I can’t resist a man with an accent. This film is definitely fast paced. You do not have time to sit and wonder what happens next. It keeps moving and moving and …
Freddy vs Jason movie
Starring:
Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), Ken Kirzinger (Jason Voorhees), Monica Keena (Lori Campbell), Jason Ritter (Will Rollins), Kelly Rowland (Kia Waterson), Chris Marquette (Charlie Linderman)

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2
I myself am not a die-hard Twilight Fan but I have seen the movies and liked them for the most part. However, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 was not as good as I thought that it would be. I had expected the finale to be similar in grandeur to …

White House Down (movie)
One of the most thrilling movies that I watched in the past couple of weeks was White House Down. At first, I ignored it mostly because I had read a lot of bad reviews from both movie critics and regular people. What’s worse is that it had a fairly …
Made of Honor
I watched the Made of Honor movie with my friends; we were not keen on going for the movie as my sister said it was not that great. Since all of us were bored out our minds, we went for it. The movie was good and ok. It is …
Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters. Conversely, the Incredible Hulk (2008) provides the viewer with everything you would expect from a summmer “popcorn movie”, including lots of …
IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …
Bounce
It seems that Ben Afflick liked to work a lot with his lovers. “Bounce” is the drama movie he made with his then girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow. He also did two movies - “Jersey Girl” and “Gigli” - with his later on lover, Jennifer Lopez. To add to this, he …
Used Cars
Set in the times of an economically resurgent America, in those glamorous days of John F. Kennedy, ‘Used Cars’ is a racy action packed duration of every minute hilarity. Kurt Russell is the show-stealer with his suave & explosive marketing of used cars.
He works for a used cars retailer …

Happy Feet (2006)
This movie is absolutely adorable. I can watch it several times without getting bored. The colors are wonderful, the artists and artistic directors of this movie did an amazing job putting everything together and making everything believable. What’s amazing is the entire movie was created on computers in Australia(little …
Them (R, 2007) movie
Here is yet another movie that made me angry. I was angry because the trailer made me think it was really going to be good. This story basically revolves around a couple that is being chased by several unidentified hooded individuals. They are chased …
Harry Potter Movie: Goblet of Fire
As a fan of the Harry Potter series, I have to admit some disappointment in the movies. There has been no continuity in environment. To their credit, most of the main characters have remained the same, which makes the recognition factor easier.
Yet, from one movie to the next, Hogwarts …
Rocky IV
I haven’t watched any Rocky movies in a while. But, I was up with my daughter the other night and came across Rocky IV.
This is still one of the better Rocky movies ever made; even when it is cut up for television broadcast. Watching Rocky take on a guy …
The stupids
The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …
Film Sherlock Holmes [2009]
Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …

Movie : Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …
Red Cliff
Red Cliff, directed by John Woo, has lots of stars including Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi ling and Zhao Wei. The budget for this show was incredible. With an estimated of US$80 million, it was made the most expensive film to be …
The Garden (NR, 2006) movie
This movie has the feel of a low-budget thriller. And at first I was reluctant to sit through an entire viewing. But since someone actually referred the movie to me, I gave it a chance. I am glad that I did. While I found …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
We ended up picking up the second Madagascar movie “Escape 2 Africa” last night and wasn’t really sure what to expect. The first one was OK but not the best movie ever and we all know sequels usually don’t live up to the original.
As it turns out, the second …
Sweet Sixteen movie
A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …
Alien Quadrilogy movie
The Alien saga is one of the finest and most enduring film series’ out there, and certainly one of the finest science fiction series’ out there. The legendary Ellen Ripley provides us with one of the strongest female characters of all time and once again, definitely a stand out …
Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.

Racoon City is about to be destroyed by the zombie horde released from the Hive by Umbrella. Run for your lives!! Seriously, this movie didn’t give me high hopes on being a movie with interest in it, but I was moderately surprised. There were so many questions that were …
Waitress
Waitress is a very good movie, and when I watched it, I enjoyed it. This is a movie about drama, and about people. How different characters in this life makes an impact on a pie-maker, acted by Keri Russell. She played the character Jenna.
Jenna wanted to …
Movie: The Girl Next Door
I liked “The Girl Next Door” the first time I watched it, but I really enjoyed it more the second time around. I liked it so much, I actually bought it on DVD! I got a good deal, so even though I don’t feel the need to …
