Prom Night movie
In the first place, Prom Night is a not a funny and romantic comedy about a high-school prom night filled with friends and love. Yes, the movie is filled with friends, to be exact the character Donna’s friends, but this movie is all scary and a thriller! …
Dead Birds movie
“Dead Birds” is one of my friend’s favourite horror movies, and he kept insisting that I watch it, and so I did. Up to now, I still think the movie, which I believe is a low budget B-rated horror film, is one of the best B-rated horror films …

Rango (computer animated movie)
It took me years to watch the animated movie “Rango” even though some of my favourite actors did some of the voice acting. The main reason why it took so long too was that it seemed to have an “average” rating or “slightly above average” rating from people who watched …

Dhadkan is a big musical hit movie.Though the story was old,yet the way of presentation was new. That’s why it attracted viewers a lot.The story of the movie is simple.It is a triangular love story. Anjali(shilpasetty), a rich girl and only daughter of their parents falls in love …
Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …
Bob’s Busy Day movie
Bob’s Busy Day is actually a movie short, and it’s notable for one main reason. It is the debut of Bob Hope. It’s big on comedy, including physical humor, beginning with Hope’s signature big nose. He’s definitely a younger man here. He’s slimmer and that …
It Could Happen to You
Rob and I watched this movie the other night that starred Nicholas Cage in It could Happen to You. In this movie Nicholas plays Charlie Lang a New York cop, and he is married to Muriel (Rosie Perez) you dislike Muriel from the begining of the movie she …
Movie: Field of Dreams
Synopsis: Kevin Costner plays an Iowa farmer who is on the verge of losing his property but decides to listen to a mysterious voice and chops down his corn to build a baseball field instead.
What I liked about this movie: I don’t usually say this about movies, but I …
The Glass Bottom Boat
There’s a lot of memorable aspects to The Glass Bottom Boat, most notable of which is its star, Doris Day. Some of the time, she’s a mermaid for her father, who gives a tour of Catalina Island waters with his glass bottom boat, hence the name. Day …
Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 1
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a franchise reboot of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime that came out in 2003-2004. While the original anime deviated from the manga story in the middle of the show because the manga was not finished, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood follows the manga story line much …
Celebrity movie
It took me quite a very long time to watch the movie celebrity since I have never been interested in the actor Woody Allen as I can remember trying to watch several of his films when I was a little girl and thinking all of them were excrutiatingly boring. …
Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
Transformers, Michael Bay Movie
The start of the prologue: before the world created, is a cube Allspark by the worst people Robot. Robot nation eventually split, there are good and they call themselves Autobots under the leadership Optimus Prime while the insurgents known by the name Decepticon under the leadership Megatron, who’s all …
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 …
Beck Mongolian Chop Squad
“Beck Mongolian Chop Squad” is a very unique and intruiging anime series. It portrays the story of a group of Japanese teenagers pursuing their dreams of becoming rock band musicians, as well as the hard ships and drama of adolesence. While the story is extremely unique, and breaks the …
Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
Unthinkable movie
I was extremely skeptical, at first, about watching this movie. I am definitely one of those people that if something on t.v. or at the theater doesn’t catch my attention in the first ten or so minutes, it usually doesn’t manage to keep my attention to the end. And …
Film Pretty Woman (1990)
This movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts came out in 1990. When it first came out my mom did not want me to see it because she worried it made prostitution look attractive to kids. Now that I am an adult I do agree …
Big Nothing movie
“Big Nothing” is a comedy about how to stay on the wrong side of the law with the actors, David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg at their best. I must admit that this movie could have been better if there was good work on the script and the way it …
Death Sentence DVD
Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …
Desperado Movie
I didn’t want to watch Desperado. I resisted for a lon gtime, but finally and reluctantly, I had to give in and watch at least one action movie, and I picked this one. Thankfully so.
This moview strikes an elegant balance between the amusing and tragic, between love …
The Other Woman (movie)
I’m generally not a fan of what most people describe as “chick flicks”, but once in a very long while a movie might come along that I think I might enjoy. When I first saw the trailer for it some months ago, The Other Woman ended up being one …
The Ghost and the Darkness (DVD)
‘The Ghost and The Darkness’ is based on an amazing true story. In 1896, an Irish engineer named John Patterson, played by Val Kilmer, was sent by the British government to build a railway in East Africa. Leaving behind his pregnant wife, Patterson came to Tsavo; East Africa determined …
Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …
Movie The Proposal
Featuring two of my favorite actors, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this movie leaves much to be desired. The story follows a publisher, Margaret Tate who is Bullock’s character to hatch a hare-brained scheme to marry her assistant to renew her visa. Her assistant, Andrew Tate played …
Slither
In this movie story, Slither which I watched on DVD, Michael Rooker and Elizabeth Banks star together with some other casts. Michael plays as Grant while Elizabeth as Starla.
Both of them are husband and wife, and there’s this alienated stuff which comes into live and coming to haunt people …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
Frantic
Harrison Ford plays Doctor Richard Walker who is frantically searching for clues about his wife Sondra’s dissappearance in Paris France. What starts out as a mistake at the airport where his wife grabs the wrong suit case turns into a deadly three way circus. After getting the run around …
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 …
Happy Feet
In the movie Happy Feet, penguins must find their heart song in order to find their life partner. The main character Mumble has an issue with finding his heart song- he can not sing. It is kind of implied that something happened during the incubating period that resulted his …

The Movie 30 Days of Night
My sister is one of those people that adores scary vampire movies. I cannot necessarily say that I am in agreement with her, but every once in awhile I will go and see movies like this with her. This movie was one that she desperately wanted to see …
Red Eye Movie
This seemed like a very interesting story, not really your average suspense movie as it does have a bit of action involved. The movie is about a girl who’s a hotel manager (Rachel McAdams) and she just goes home for a vacation and meets a nice young man (Cillian …
“The Horse Whisperer” (1998) Robert Redford,Kristin Scott Thomas
My personal experiences with horses have been unfortunate so I avoided watching the movie “The Horse Whisperer” until recently. My first unfortunate experience with horses was at the Grays Harbor county fair the year I turned fifteen. I was trying to impress my first real girlfriend. As we toured …
War thriller
“War” is an action thriller where you see Jason Statham and Jack Lee act side by side. It is very interesting to see these two action actors involved in the same project. Both Statham and Lee admitted that they accepted their respective roles because they had a chance of …
Unlimited movie rental
I signed up for Blockbuster Total Access 3 months ago. I was very surprised that it worked the way Blockbuster says on TV. If you sign up at the store or online you have to pay a monthly fee. I signed up for the unlimited movies …
Dawn of the Dead
What many people do not understand is that there are two versions of “Dawn of the Dead”. There is the one from 2004 which I have based my review on, and then, there is the one from 1978 which I have not watched. Dawn of the dead (2004) …
The Land Before Time
The Land Before Time is a very nice yet sad movie. I was pretty young when I saw this movie, and I think It was very sad. The whole story is about a bunch of Dinosaurs who a little kids going through a big journey to find a special place. …
Vaastav Film
Vaastav meaning ‘the fact’ is a remarble film made by Mahesh Manjerekar. The lead has Sanjay Dutt, who accidentally becomes a Don, and the agony of the Don, and the secret pain, that he carries, has been shown effectively by the director. The Don is powerful, yet form inside …
The Stepford Wives Movie
When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …
Seabiscuit (2003)
Have you ever been to the horse races? Have you ever had to sit there and wait until they get the horses ready for the race, wait until they are all lined up in their stocks, wait for the release and then the actually race itself? Even had to …
Trespass (movie)
I was completely clueless that the movie “Trespass” even existed until someone made me watch it very recently. After watching it, I liked it so much that I couldn’t help but recommend it to people who are looking for a good suspense and thriller movie to watch. This was …
Batman Returns
I got a chance to re-watch the movie Batman Returns last night and have to say, I can now understand why that installment of Batman movies went downhill in a hurry.
The first Batman, starring Michael Keaton, is still one of my favorite movies. This sequel to that movie wasn’t …
Baby Mama (2008)
Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …
Shrek 3
I have always firmly believed that after the second part of a movie, everybody should give up bravely and look for other ideas instead of milking the movie’s earlier successes to death as can be seen in the likes of Robocop, Scream, etc but back to Shrek 3.
Last week, …

Sherlock Holmes movie
I can’t remember the last time I sat through a silent movie. Aside from the Mel Brooks’ flick, Silent Movie, which actually had one spoken word in it, I believe it was back in the 70’s when I sat through an authentic silent film. Well, I caught …
