An American Christmas Carol (1979). a movie
Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right. Based, of course, on “A Christmas Carol,” this movie transforms the Victorian London into America’s …
Iron Man 3 (movie)
I didn’t get to watch this movie around the time that it was released in 2013 for numerous reasons. Still, I remember lots of Marvel and Iron Man fans claiming to hate it after they had seen it including one of my own family members. At the time so …
Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost
Last night, I once again sat down with my daughter to watch a movie with her. And, of course, I let her pick the film. She chose Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, for the most part, I liked her decision.
This is a newer Scooby Doo film, as …
Blood Diamond
Gripping. Riveting. Awakening. This movie grabs you from the start and takes you on a ride through the African country-side, seeing a world torn apart by violence, greed, and pain. You will inevitably swear never to buy a “blood diamond” again, knowing what it costs their world.
Leonardo DiCaprio, though …
P2 Movie
When I watched the Starz Saturday night premiere for this movie, I couldn’t help wondering why this movie was not promoted very much before and when it hit theaters. I believe that it was hands down one of the best suspense movies I had seen in a long while …
Movie Eragon
When I first saw the movie “Eragon” being advertised to be released in theatres, I wanted to see it since I also like fantasy films and it looked like a fantasy movie which I might just love. However, since I had no one to see it with, I …
Sherlock holmes movie
A few days ago I saw Sherlock Holmes in the cinema.
Sherlock Holmes in the old books and the stories were really a thinking man, and not so violent!
But in this movie he is. I have not read the books, so I can not say anything about it.
The movie was …

Boogie Nights
When I saw the movie “Boogie Nights” on the television guide, I used to think that it was probably a movie from the nineteen seventies starring the American actor John Travolta. However, recently I realised that I was actually confusing the movie with another movie named Saturday Night Fever …
My Dog Skip movie
My Dog Skip is a sad, yet heartwarming story/movie. I don’t cry with a lot of movies but this movie made me shed a few tears. My Dog Skip is about a young boy growing up in Mississippi with his terrier dog Skip. Both the boy and the dog …
Happy Together movie
Yet another film by the master Wong Kar-Wai, which tells the story of a homosexual couple and their stormy relationship. It ends the era of his more explosive visual style and brings him closer to what he does today. The narrative is slower, more thoughtful, but still Wong Kar-Wai’s …
blockbuster .com
I actually like Blockbuster a lot more than Netflix because you can return the movies to the store instead of mailing them in and waiting to receive new movies. Not only can you return the movies that were mailed to you to the store, but you can also trade …

Tom Dick and Harry (movie) May, 2006
Tom Dick and Harry is a filthy movie. I watched it yesterday on cable TV. This movie released on 12th of May 2006. The movie is directed by Deepak Tijori. It is his yet another stupid venture of directing a film. Well the movie casts Dino Morea playing …
Catwoman
“Catwoman”, released in 2004, was supposed to be a blockbuster, due to the fact that it was based on a comic book superhero and because it starred Halle Berry. It’s fortunate for her that her career was strong enough to survive this movie, because it was way beneath …
The Hills Have Eyes 2, Martin Weisz Movie

50 First Dates
I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler but I like Drew Barrymore that’s why I saw the movie 50 First Dates. I didn’t expect that I would like the movie because I never liked Adam Sandler’s style of comedy. I think he’s corny. But surprisingly I liked it …
Movie: Return of the Living Dead
I was in the mood for a good zombie movie this past weekend. Well, to be more accurate, I was in the mood for any zombie movie since I know finding a good one is kind of hard.
A few weeks ago, I had recorded the film Return of the …
Yes Man movie
I took the time to watch the Jim Carrey movie Yes Man even though I had some reservations about it. I don’t mind him as an actor but some of his films are a bit too much for me.
However, I will admit the movie was much better than expected.
Carrey …
Robin Hood:Men in Tights
One of Mel Brooks’ many parodies of famous folklore. No one can deny that this movie is comedy at its best. You will be laughing your socks off from start to finish and even after it’s all said and done. Cary Elwes is a true comedian and its due …
World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …

Back in the early 1990’s my sister and I had a resurgence of our love for the music group Abba. For years we had heard their music and loved it but this was such a resurgence that we were practically eating, drinking and sleeping the group. Part of our …
The Age of Adaline Movie
There are just some books that should not be made as movies, and The Age of Adaline was one of those books. I never read the book myself and after watching the movie I probably will do my best to go out of my way just to avoid it in …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This movie is set in the fifties. The ending is really surprising although the rest of the movie follows along just as you would expect you to. I thought the predictability of the movie was a real drag. It’s like I could have written the script …
Shutter (UR, 2008)
I had rented the Thai version of this film and was really disappointed with how shallow the American remake was. First of all, Joshua Jackson (of “Dawson’s Creek”, “Skulls”) is the lead character. I was not even aware of who his co-star is. …
Hilary and Jackie movie
A true story about two sisters who’s life are deeply affected by music, both for performing it and listening to it. They are very much alike but still they choose different paths in life, even though none of them seem to be the right one. Perhaps they should have …
Film Vanity Fair
One of my favourite types of films are historical films, or films which are set in some time before the twentieth century as I have always liked the subject history. The film does not even have to be one hundred percent historically accurate but I always tend to enjoy …
I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
Fever Pitch (movie)
A few years ago the Boston Redsox came back from utter defeat to win against their arch rival the New York Yankees. They later went on to win the World Series and the entire state went wild. The following year in 2005 a movie was released called …

With Six You Get Eggroll
Doris Day’s final theatrical film was one her late husband had obligated her to do, entitled With Six You Get Eggroll. It’s a movie that is reminiscent of Yours, Mine, and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. To me, this was a smaller scale version …

Mean Girls movie
If there was any movie that made Lindsay Lohan the celebrity she is now, Mean Girls would be it. As Cady, the smart-yet-uncool new girl from Africa who made the fearless journey from homeschooling to the uncharted territories of the American high school safari, Lohan appeared quite the …
The Fourth Kind 2009 movie
I just finished watching “The Fourth Kind” and can’t stop laughing. This was a pathetic attempt at a movie. The premise is similar to the Blair Witch film in that it is presented as a “mockumentary” complete with fake “archive footage and audio.” This is one of those movies …
Dead Like Me: The Ledger
Dead Like Me: The Ledger has a bit of a change for Roxy, who leaves behind the world of meter maids and joins the police force. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes in the future, but the first thing I noticed about it was that she …
Jaws (1975)
Are you the type of person who takes joy in basking in the sunlight at your local beach? If you are then this movie is just the thing you need to watch that will scare the dickens out of you each time you go to that favorite beach of …
Deep Impact DVD
Deep Impact is a powerful movie from 1998 about a meteor that is threatening Earth. It’s intense, emotional, and thrilling. Directed by Mimi Leder, the FX is still a bit rough in the visuals, but the acting is top notch. Tea Leoni, Vanessa Redgrave, Elijah Wood, …
Mortal Kombat (2010)
The first time I saw this video, I honestly thought it was a fluke, a trick video. Then I recognized Michael Jay White, from Spawn. That’s when it hit me that this was a real video. From what I’ve read, it’s not an upcoming trailer or anything like it. …

Wizard of Oz Movie
When I was born in 1968, Wizard of Oz had been showing annually on CBS for twelve years. My earliest memory of this perennial favorite was in early elementary school, when I joined the swelling ranks of people gathered to watch this huge, yearly event. It was as eagerly …
