Creepshow movie
This movie is not unlike the Twilight Zone movie. It’s not one continuous narrative, but five short segments that are bookended with a “backstory”. This involves a boy reading a Creepshow comic before his father throws it out.
We zoom into the comic and see the stories inside …
Old School movie
Old School. What a great phrase. Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson, better known as the Frat Pack, have made yet another hilarious film. After Wilson’s character finds out that he is being evicted from his new house, the boys decide to start a fraternity in order to …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a great movie for the whole family. It kept me and my sister who is 7 years old interested throughout the whole movie. The only thing that I would say is that the movie drag out a little bit, they could have made it shorter. It was …
Ice Age -Movie One in the Trilogy
I watched this movie a long time ago and then again recently; I recall then thinking that it was childish -which I suppose is good because it’s mostly a kid’s movie but I had hoped it would entertain me too- and that I would not care so much …

Trick R Treat
Finally released direct to DVD after sitting on the studio shelf for over a year, this is one Halloween movie you dont want to miss. The story takes place in a fictional little town on Halloween night and tells four interconnected but unrelated stories that incorporate almost every popular …
Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …
Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …
Cabin Fever movie
36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …
Bridge To Terabithia
Based on Katherine Paterson’s classic novel, this is the story of Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson), a boy who’s something of an outcast at school and at home (he is the only boy among four sisters). When a new girl moves in across the road, it’s initially bad news for …
Heat
“Heat” is an incredible drama/action movie with two brilliant movie stars sparking energy all the way Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. This is the first time Pacino and De Niro worked together after “The Godfather II”. What is also interesting about this movie is that it …

A film about the life of stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. Interviews with friends, family and colleagues are mixed with actual re-creations of his private life and authentic material from his live shows. What could have been a very interesting documentary about this genius of a comedian is somehow turned …
See No Evil (R, 2006) movie
Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …
Cars-animated movie
Disney can still make good movies, if they put their mind to it. I didn’t expect much went I to see “Cars”; I thought I would be treated to good animation (with the today’s technology, there is no excuse for bad one), some cute characters and some ugly ones, …
Untraceable
Untraceable is a thriller movie. My first question when I watched was, “Why Diane Lane”? But after watching, I think she really fit this role. She plays an FBI officer and imagine having to crack an internet crime..? The killer is sicker than sick and this …
Kick Ass movie
When I heard my friends with different likes and dislikes all praising this movie, I became eager to watch it for myself in the theatres. My eagerness increased even more when I saw it being praised in the media, and movie critics did not have much bad things …
Death Race (Movie)
I saw this movie when it was shown in the big screen and it wasn’t that exciting as I expected it to be. When I first knew that Jason Statham was going to be here I thought it would be a very hot action movie, but it got quite …
Confession of shopaholic movie
I saw this movie yesterday and its really very fun movie. It actully shows the mindset of the one who is addidcted by the disease called shopping. So many people has got such disease that they cant stop their urge to shop more and more, though they have got …

Skyfall (action movie)
I stopped being a James Bond fan years ago, and honestly, I can’t even remember why. This is why I ended up missing Casino Royale. Nevertheless, after I decided to try watching Skyfall recently, I enjoyed it so much, that I’m actually eagerly awaiting the release of the next James …

The Princess Diaries Movie
I am not really a fan of “chick-flicks”, but, this movie is entertaining and likable. A teenager finds out that she is the heir to the throne of a non so known country. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to embrace her new found kingdom. …
Movie Cars
Cars is a rip-roarin’ ride of animated fun. It is an incredibly wonderful film about a race car with an attitude and no friends as a result. All Lightning McQueen wants is to win the big race and be the champion. He believes he’s the best …
Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …

The Man from U.N.C.L.E is a spy movie. It is based off the TV show of the same name which kept running from 1964 to 1968. Before viewing this movie I didn’t knew anything about it. Without a doubt I had low desires from it on the grounds that I …

Priceless
Remember the actress Audrey Tautou..? Well, if you want to refresh your memory, do watch Priceless for a good night-in of DVD rounds. I watched this just yesterday and this is what I have to say: definitely a movie that is super worth it for the die-hard romantics …
Wagon Wheels West
From 1943, Wagon Wheels West is a black and white short. Shorts are anywhere from ten minutes to a half hour. This one is about 18 minutes roughly. Back in the day, going to the movies meant seeing several of these along with the main feature. …
High Road to China movie
A pilot is convinced by a young girl to go and search for her disappeared father in Asia. This is one of those films I loved in my childhood and decided to rewatch as an adult, and I have to say this is probably the one that made my …
The Greatest Game Ever Played Movie
So the “The Greatest Game Ever Played” got a 7/10 in my book. I’ll let you know why. First, the movie is based around an inspired golfer, who is poor, and is discriminated for being such by the country club. His dad doesn’t support his dreams of becoming a …

Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy [Garth Jennings, 2005]
Please don’t watch this film. Listen to the radio series, read the books, or watch the BBC television series as a far more worthy introduction to Douglas Adams. Alternatively, watch paint dry.
There are a few good things about the film. The visioning of things like the Heart of Gold …
Premonotion
This was a very good movie. I was interested throughout the whole movie. I loved it and would like to buy this movie some day. Sandra Bullock plays the main character and she does an amazing job. Even though it goes back and forth a lot in the movie …
Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie
From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …
AMC theatre,Concord Mills
It was a month ago when we went to see “Slumdog Millionaire” at this theatre.We booked our tickets on phone only.But when we reached there and went to counter for taking our tickets the person in the counter asked for my credit/debit card.I thought may be for …

The Lake House Movie
Trying to describe this movie is difficult because the “science” of it detracts from its warmth and the beauty of the love story between two people who had to be together in spite of the impossibilty of it. I watch it often and never tire of it.
A quirk in the …
Indian Tamil Movie
Indian is one of the finest movies in Tamil Cinema. This movie is produced by A.M. Ratnam for his own production unit Sri Surya Movies. The story and screenplay wrote by Shankar. Also he directed the movie. …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …
The Dead Zone
The Dead Zone was a very spooky and great movie. I thought this film had is all and was a movie that really messed with your mind. Christopher Walken did a great job of acting in this movie! Even though the movie is quite old it is a great film …
Notting Hill (1999 movie)
Notting Hill was a sweet movie. I might be a bit biased because I really like Julia Roberts in romantic comedies and Hugh Grant is very good as the confused love interest (has he ever played a role where he knows what is going on?)
I particularly liked one montage …
Far Pavilions
This mini-series drew me in right away, probably because of the international aspect of the story. I like movies that offer insight into different cultures, and this is one of them. The story takes place in India, focusing on a British boy Ashton and an Indian princess Anjuli. They …
The Labyrinth with David Bowie
This is truly one of the greatest and most memorable movies of all time. It has David Bowie and the muppets ! Well, puppets anyway. If that sounds like a turn off to you look it up on YouTube; you seriously have no idea how wonderful this movie is …
Dead End movie (2003)
“Dead End” is one of those obscure, relatively unknown, direct-to-video horror movies that I came across on cable. I like the lead actor, Ray Wise, who once starred in the surreal TV series, “Twin Peaks.” I also like watching a suspenseful horror film from time to time. It’s just …
