Split (2017 Psychological Thriller Film)
The idea of watching a psychological film circling around different personalities inside a single person is potentially invigorating. After all the idea has never been done to death. That’s why I am earnestly hopeful that my first M. Night Shyamalan feature could fulfill the gap of films I missed in …
Airplane movie
I usually keep away from watching comedies from the nineteen seventies and early eighties since I’ve found out over the years that most of them tend to bore me. So when I first got access to cable television and would see this movie going on, I didn’t even pay …
Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
Ted ( 2012 Movie )
When I saw the trailer of this film, it looked entertaining during the first scenes of the trailer until it showed Ted ( the talking teddy bear ) humping on top of the counter of a store. I was stunned, thus I watched the entire movie to really …
Jupiter Ascending (Science Fiction Fantasy Movie)
After watching The Matrix Trilogy multiple times, I found myself looking forward to future projects from the filmmaking team Lana Wachowski who was formerly Laurence “Larry” Wachowski; and her brother Andy Wachowski.

Iron Man 3, Movie
I think that the movie “Iron Man 3″ is spectacular and in a great way ends the trilogy of the character of Iron Man, unless they make a fourth movie. I felt that the story in this movie in a great way continues the events from the second part …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.
Book of Secrets relies on two things; first, there is …

Love Actually movie
I normally hate watching romance films, but since my friend fooled me that the actor Orlando Bloom was in the movie I ended up watching the movie to the end and feeling very annoyed and disappointed after as he obviously never appeared. The only thing which comforted me a …
Furious 7 (action adventure movie)
It took me a long time to watch the movie Furious 7 because I figured that it would be too depressing to watch. This was especially after hearing stories about how scores of people cried in the theatre in the end.
After seeing it myself though I realised I was …

Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.

Movie Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …
Miracle on Ice
I do not like hockey; I just don’t. It’s violent; besides, who can follow that puck around the ice? Still, during the 1980 Winter Olympics, I found myself watching a few of the hockey games. The reason was the phenomenal run to the gold that the …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer somehow manages to drain out the glamour and the pomposity - sometimes even the fantasy out of the Superhero World.
Rise of the Silver Surfer seems to suffer from sequel-itis - the narrative isn’t as exciting, the story isn’t impressive. There’s practically no …

Oliver Twist,1948 movie
David Lean’s version of Oliver Twist, filmed in 1948, is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the beloved Dickens novel. Dark and depressing, the movie well captures the misery of a poor orphaned child, raised by people who don’t care for him, starved and abused. The casting and …

Hard Candy movie

The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
