Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie
I was surprised that this movie didn’t get more thumbs down on Netflix reviews. This was an interesting film that could have been much much better. Offering a slightly different spin on the typical teenage group in the woods slasher film, this movie uses a little …
Movie Talk to Me
Talk to Me is a lovely movie and I recommend for all to go and watch it. If you are late, go and rent a DVD or whatever means, but you have to WATCH IT. I recommend it 100% because I love watching this movie pretty much. …
Brief Crossing (NR, 2001) film
Director Catherine Breillat is one of the most underrated directors of all time. Her films will appeal to women because of their intimate nature. But men will love her movies because they are filled with beautiful women and some pretty intense romantic situations. In this movie, …
Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …
Movie Revolutionary Road
I watched the movie Revolutionary Road with a couple of friends at the movies. Since, we loved Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicarprio in the movie Titanic. This film really impressed me. The film is about love, emotion, marriage, arguments, affairs, and tragic losses etc that every couple in the …
Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior (R, 2005) DVD
Mike Epps’ first attempt at doing a stand-up comedy DVD was quite the success. This 2005 DVD features all the nuances of Epps quirky and outrageous personality. But the really funny parts of his performance revolve around the realities of life. What I loved in …

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
To start, I feel that no amount of words could ever do this movie the justice it deserves…..but nevertheless, I’ll try my best.
In a basic summation, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the film adaptation of the classic, semi-autobiographical tale written by the late, great Hunter S. Thompson. …

Nothing But the Truth: A Compelling Movie
I watched Nothing But the Truth starring Kate Beckinsale and Matt Dillon and I was really impressed with the story and the acting. It’s a story about a journalist who compromises the identity of a female CIA agent. Rachel Armstrong (Kate Beckinsale) was facing the full might of the …
The Prestige movie
The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …

Step Up 2 Movie
I didn’t like this movie as much as I liked the first one. This is the sequel to Step Up and I think one of the main reasons I liked that movie was because of Channing Tatum. In this sequel, Channing Tatum is only in the movie for like …
Sex and the City movie
I watched the movie of Sex and the city on one of the movie channels recently. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I don’t generally like the show sex and the city but the movie was pretty good. It had a lot …
The Weight of Water (R, 2001)
It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …
Taken (2009) Movie
I heard about this movie from my dad, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it because my dad couldn’t stop talking about it! He said that it was a really good movie… and he was right.
I’m not a huge action movie fan. I’m more of a comedy and romance …
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg movie

Diary of the Dead
This is by far one of the most boring and silliest movies I have seen in a long time. I had watched it before it came out on cable television and DVD too, and had the unfortunate luck of having to sit and watch it again as my brother …
Film “Easy A” (2010)
Today I am reviewing the film “Easy A” which just came out on dvd.
Easy A is about a good girl who is not well known at her school named Olive. When Olive tells a small lie to her best friend about hooking up with a guy …
Freaky Friday
Freaky Friday is a very entertaining and enjoyable movie. The movie starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in the main roles is the story of a mother and daughter who can not understand each other and are not a perfect mother and perfect daughter respectively. They don’t agree …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012 Coming-of-Age Drama Film)
Some films do really affect me far better in my second watch than my first. Back then, 4 years ago, when I first saw this movie, it was nothing but a coming-of-age drama with a twisted end, one that I was so eager to watch because my ultimate crush, Emma …
The Bonfire Of The Vanities Movie
After reading the book The Bonfire Of The Vanities by Tom Wolfe, I was eager to see the film adaptation. However after watching it I wish I never bothered. The book describes the racial tension of New York in the 1980s and …
The X-Files Movie
Highly acclaimed science fiction series The X-Files makes it first venture onto the big screen, with Mulder and Scully becoming embroiled in even more shenanigans involving the villainous Syndicate and the dastardly alien invasion plot they’ve spent decades concealing from the public.
Ultimately, this movie is a successful venture for the …
Hammer Horror Series dvd
I was very happy to borrow this dvd set from a friend of mine since I like some of the classic horror movies on it. I personally think that having a dvd like this is a great deal for fans of classic horror movie films since it contains so …
Brother Bear movie
An animated film about three brothers who fight against a great bear with an unfortunate outcome. The youngest of these brothers is put into a peculiar situation and needs to find a certain mountain to survive.
Extraordinary animated movie considering the mere visual area, but it really doesn’t have anything …
Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
One of the many vampire vs. werewolf movies that have graced the silver screen, New Moon rates among one of the better attempts. It had a good blend of romance, action, and suspense, while not overplaying the supernatural card. The mixture was good, but and it added …
As Good as it Gets Movie
I loved the characters played by Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear who star in this entertaining movie.
Nicholson plays writer Melvin Udall who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder who cannot have his routine disturbed. When his favorite waitress Carol (Hunt) quits her job so that she can …

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 …
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.
There’s no monumental changes with this new version. It’s shot in colour, the gores a bit more impressive (but surprisingly much more played down considering Savani’s involvement) but there’s some tinkering about with …
Primeval (2007)
Primeval, directed by Michael Katleman is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong graphic violence, brutality, terror and language. The original release date was January 12, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Horror/Thriller and stars Dominic Purcell as Tim …

I am quiet aware that this movie was released last year but i really love this movie! I watched it about 10 times. I could see your expression now, one of amazement 10 TIMES, yes 10 times.
The reason why i liked the movie son much because it opened up …
Casino Royale
Casino Royale is a remake to a more modern day version of an old James Bond movie. The new version is full of action like you would typically see in a James Bond movie. However it was a bit more violent than most I have ever seen before. James …
50/50 (movie)
There were several movies that had a great emotional impact on me this year and one of them was the movie 50/50. I knew that it would either be a tearjerker or one of those movies that made you meditate on the direction in which your life was going …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …
The Fearless Four
Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …
Hocus Pocus
Who doesn’t love this movie ?!? It has Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in it ! I own it on DVD and in my ipod; I adore those cheesy Halloween-y witch-y movies. I don’t give summaries on my reviews because I don’t want to give the plot away. …
Sydney White
I had heard of the movie Sydney White but never made an effort to watch it until yesterday. I have to admit it was a cute movie.
Amanda Bynes stars in the comedy, which is a modern day rendition of Snow White and the 7 dwarves. Only, it takes place …
The New Adventures of Heidi movie
It’s hard for me to find a Heidi tale that I don’t like. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of them and most of them have their own unique quality that makes it work. That’s the case with The New Adventures of Heidi from 1978. …
The Princess Bride movie
The Princess Bride is a wonderful movie for people of all ages that appeals to all movie-goers. It has romance, fighting, comedy, suspense, drama, miracles, and pretty much anything you can want in a great movie! It is based on the book, The Princess Bride, by William Goldman and …
Rush (biographical sports drama movie)
While I did see the trailer for the movie Rush a few times, it just didn’t even appear on my radar, since I’ve stopped paying attention to sports drama films since the nineteen nineties. There’s also the fact that I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the actor Chris …
There Will Be Blood movie
There Will Bo Blood is a film based in the early 1900’s (I think) about a man who loses his wife, and takes his son (who is probably 8 or 9) with him from place to place to cheat people out of buying their land if they had oil …
Ice Age movie
A very “cool” 3D movie from Disney which depicts the survival of prehistoric animals from the changing Earth as it underwent the process of continental drifting, Ice Age is the most fun movie that I have seen (again) lately. As with all other movies that blew my mind, I …
Living With The Enemy Movie
I’ve watched this movie on HBO and it helped pass the time at first, but when the movie was in the middle part the plot becomes obvious and sort of predictable that the ending will be a good one. The actors and actresses aren’t even famous but at least …
