Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.
I finally had the time to watch this …

Taare Zameen Par is perhaps the greatest bollywood movie that I have ever watched. It is a movie about a little boy, Ishaan, who is dyslexic, but his parents fail to realise this. As the story progresses you cannot help but laugh at all of the mischief …

The Godfather is my favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it. Al Pacino, James Cann, Robert Duvall, and Marlon Brando play their roles with tremendous ability. They make their roles come alive and make the mafia family seem real. I especially like Maroln Brando as Vito …

I did not pay the movie “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” any attention when it was advertising because I thought that it was going to be yet another one of those celebrity packed “comedies” that was not very funny. However, when I was forced to watch it …

One of those movies that I had always heard people talking about but I never got to watch was “Driving Miss Daisy”, and so of course I always knew I had to see it whenever I had the chance to. I didn’t actually know what it was supposed to …

That’s one of the most famous movie quotes ever, and it’s from this movie that captured the country’s attention upon its release. Starring Ryan O’Neal and Ali McGraw, Love Story is a powerfully emotional drama about two lovers from different backgrounds …

Whether you are a Woody Allen fan or not, Crimes & Misdemeanors is an excellent movie and I think it is one of his best, but I think you have to have a tendency to be philosophical about the deeper issues in life if you are to enjoy it. …

I actually just stumbled upon this movie short from 1939 while looking for something to watch on television. It’s called Yankee Doodle Goes to Town, and it’s definitely a pro-America, pro-democracy creation. It’s theme is that America continues to rise up, to defeat its foes, and that …

Although it is the sequel of “Step Up”, “Step Up 2: The Streets” offers a different type of movie from the original version. I expected the story to be based again, like in the original movie, at the Maryland School of Arts, however the action takes place else where …

The word of the day was skeptical. That’s how I felt about the 2010 theatrical film, The A-Team. Based on the TV series that starred the late George Peppard, Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, and Mr. T, I was certain I’d hate this movie. It’s not that …

While every other girl in the world was looking forward to New Moon I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found the first movie in the series Twilight entertaining but not worth all the fuss and the book was simple at best.
So I went in to see New …

When they came out with Night at the Museum 2, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from it. I liked the first movie but it wasn’t anything overly special when it came to plot. And, I really wondered just how they would be able to build on it …

I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …

I had missed the movie Amadeus when it first came out, so I’ve discovered it only recently, having rented a tape from our local library. It was surprisingly good. F. Murray Abraham is unforgettable as Salieri, the court composer struggling with jealousy and questioning God’s decision to give an …

The movie, A Christmas Carol, rendered in full 3D at the theaters, was such a joy to watch. It kept me to the edge of my seat. Imagine even snowflakes seemingly falling right in front of you, inside the theater, down your legs, and even your seat. …

When I first saw the movie “National Treasure” advertising to be released I thought it was based on the book “The Da Vinci Code” by author Dan Brown. This was because I had just finished reading the book, and had heard either on the television or from one of …

I was almost eleven when the movie “Wild Wild West” came out in theatres. It was a little before I just entered high school and I can remember how a lot of m friends who were in that same age group wanted to watch it. Back then, we …

Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …

Rang De Basanti is a revolutionary film made recently, and was India�s Official Entry to the Oscars. Its one of the few movies, which was both artistic and also did well commercially. In fact it was one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. The story was …

Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …

Where do I start, and where do I find the words to describe this disgusting piece of trash?… Two black FBI agents, Kevin and Marcus Copeland, played by the Wayans brothers, go undercover as two white girls, posing as celebrity sisters who are under the threat of kidnapping. You …

If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …

Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …

We went to see the new James Bond movie this weekend, “Casino Royale”. We were a party of two adults and found the movie to be good entertainment. Daniel Craig was a great new James Bond and both my husband and I felt he did a great job. He …

Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …

The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …

What I liked about this movie: This film, which is based on real events, is one of those …

This movie was really a good story, enough computer …

Well the movie Twilight was…”ok”. The acting was decent and the story was intersting, however, not everyone will like it. I enjoyed watching it, but thought some parts were rather silly. It is very much a romance movie and a chick flick. Though it does have a few action …

Let me just tell you everyone in my family loved this movie. I have 4 boys, and my husband. So as you can imagine, it can get very hard to please everyone! Happy feet tells a story of a penquin who doesn’t quite fit in with …

27 Dresses was a chick flick starring Katherine Heigel and James Marsden. I never saw it when it was playing in the theaters, but I did see it was it was released and I thought it was really cute. Heigel plays a woman who takes the idea of “always …

I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …

The 2008 film “Jumper” starring Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christenson, looked to be a great action movie that would catch the viewers attention. The actors in the film are known for many other roles in which they really shined, and I had anticipated that the same would be said …

By all accounts, ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ should have marked the end of the live action ‘Transformers’ franchise. That movie was outright terrible. Critics hated, fans hated it, it still stands as one of the worst movies you will ever have the displeasure of sitting through. …
