Mr. Destiny (1990)
I am always saying “Be careful what you wish for, as fate it seems, is not without a sense of humor” and to this day I continue to prove that very same thing. Nothing that you wish for even comes to be exactly the way you wish it; instead, …
The Beach movie
I heard of the movie “The Beach” when I was in my second year of high school. I can remember that it was promoted a lot then and a few of my friends wanted to go and see it in theatres, especially the ones who had managed to buy …
Die Hard 4.0 Movie Starring Bruce Willis
For me, Bruce Willis will always be the godfather of action films and he just simply has a way of playing his role sole well that whenever I see him in a different setting, outside of a film and in an interview, it has a certain unnaturalness about it …
Blood Diamond, Edward Zwick Movie
Sierra Leone, Liberia, in 1999. When the diamond mines into a dispute that lead to interminable civil war. Is Salomon Vandy and his family are trapped in this situation. In any event, Salomon finally separated with his family. Now, he employed in the diamond mines by rebel soldiers, RUF. …
War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)
Once again, I’m back to watching Audrey Hepburn movies. I was anticipating War and Peace to replicate the same picture of the actress as the other regal-themed, A Roman Holiday, yet the movie wasn’t focused primarily on her character and I ended enjoying the whole film instead. …
Ajnabi (movie), 2001
The movie Ajnabi was released in 2001. It is a thriller film. I watched this film at theater. The movie is directed by Abbas and Mustan who are famous for directing many good and original thrillers. But this one is a copy of a Hollywood film named Consenting Adults. …
Happy Feet
When this came out into cinemas, my family and I were on vacation so we weren’t able to watch it on the big screen. I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful feedback from other moms about this movie and how their children loved it. I felt sorry for my …
Showtime movie
I am reviewing the movie, Showtime, which was released in 2002. It stars Robert Deniro as LAPD cop Mitch Preston, a tough no-nonsense man. Starring alongside him is Eddie Murphy, who plays Trey,a wanna be actor who also happens to be a cop. After shooting a camera …
Christmas Vacation Movie
This is definitely the most successful movie of the Vacation series, at least in terms of popularity. One of the funnier Christmas movies out there, it has become a Christmas staple.
Personally I think the first one was funnier, but this one still brings in the laughs. Some …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …
Some Kind of Wonderful movie
One of the most classic and beloved american high school movies of the 1980s, perhaps not as well known as Fast times at Ridgemont High for example, but Some kind of wonderful is definitely my own personal favorite. In the centre of the story stands a rebellious young man, …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …

Robocop 2014 Movie, Director Jose Padilha
I am really happy that the new film from the series “Robocop” which reboots the series from the beginning, is an exception to the rule that I have found that reboots usually don’t work out as well as their original movies. This fantastic action created by the director Jose …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …
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 Women movie
The Women is based upon a movie classic from 1939. The claim to fame of this film is that there are no men in the film, not even in passing. In parts Meg Ryan is very entertaining but I am a fan of Meg and all her characters are …
Movie Speed Racer
Don’t watch this movie if you have a migraine or sensitive to lights. I had a migraine when we first popped this in to watch and after 15 minutes had to turn it off I was so nauseous. The colors are so vivid and bright and then …
Are We There Yet? (2005 movie)
Ice Cube stars alongside Nia Long in this romantic comedy. To win the love of Nia, Ice has the task of taking Nia’s two children on a journey from one state to another. The mischief of the little monsters really throw Ice Cube for a loop as he has …
Cocoon
I don’t know why I like this 1985 movie so much. I can still remember watching it for the first time when it had come out; it is a comedy that involves some aliens, and compared with today’s technology, I guess you might say it is nothing special. Most …
Ghost Hunters
I have been watching Ghost Hunters since it stated in 2004 and still enjoy it. Two ordinary men, their real jobs are as plumbers, hunt ghosts by night. It is on the SciFi Wednesdays at 9:00 PM There is nothing fictional about it, it is …
Casino royale 2006
1. Did I stay interested / awake throughout the entire movie ?
A. Plenty of action but the movie seemed 30 mins too long.
2. Would I buy it on DVD ?
A. Only if I was a James Bond fanatic.
3. Would I take my partner …
The sweetest things movie
The sweetest thing is one of my favorite drama comedy romantic movie that I like. I watch this movie more than three times I think. First time I saw it in the DVD, and after that I saw it in my television station. There’s so many sex scene or …
Nosferatu
Nosferatu is such a cool, classic movie. We are talking black and white, 1929, horror at its best. Nosteratu, if you don’t know, is a vampire. He’s a Dracula, but not Dracula. Nosferatu is a silent film and what is so very cool about it is the looks, the …
Click Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler was ridiculously funny as always. I loved him in this film so much. He lived out some of our greatest fantasies. At least once, we have all wished that at a click of a button we could change something. Well, Adam Sandler actually got the chance to …
Stephen King’s Pet Semetary movie
One of my favorite movies of all time, Stephen King’s “Pet Semetary” is always worth a watch. It’s the story of a young Doctor who is moving his family to Maine to take up a new position. While working his first week on the job, he tries, unsuccessfully to …
Elysium movie
A couple of months ago I watched a trailer of the movie Elysium. My first expressions were «WOW. That is a must-watch movie». It was full of superb special effects, action and some new idea.
And then, the movie came out in the cinemas. I went to the good theatre, …
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
I’m not normally a fan of Scooby Doo movies that don’t follow the classic format of the ghost really being someone in disguise. But, I will say I did like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.
This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …
A Kid in King Arthur’s Court
I have seen a book entitled “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” in my aunt’s library at her house which was written apparently by the author Mark Twain. However, I have never made an attempt to read the book so I am not sure if it is related …
Pet Shop of Horrors Episode 2
Pet Shop of Horrors Episode 2 begins with a woman in a wedding dress falling into the sea from a ship and we hear her scream. Then a man named Jason Grey comes to Count D.’s shop to pick up a pet that his late wife Evangeline Blue …
The Aviator, movie
You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …
Repo: The Genetic Opera
This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …
The Guard (movie)
I watched the comedy thriller “The Guard” last night, and while there are many things I have to say about it, I promise to keep my review fairly brief.
The movie was about the strange partnership of an FBI agent, and an Irish policeman with some very unorthodox ways, …
Movie Thunderball
Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.
This is one of the earlier James Bond sequels and therefore features the super handsome Sean Connery in the lead. It does lack some of the refined touched that we came to enjoy in the newer sequels such as …
Seed of Chucky
Seed of Chucky was a very funny and somewhat cheesy movie. It seems that ever new Child’s Play movie it got funnier and cheesier as it went along. But after a while, things started to change. The movie did have a few scares here and there but nothing compared to …
It rains on our love movie
Ingmar Bergman’s only second film shows his talent in its cradle. Bergman himself thinks the film is a disaster, but I found it rather interesting. The story is about a man and his wife that are followed by unhappiness. They start a new life together in a new house, …
Bean (Movie)
For those who have watched Mr Bean’s show once you will realize how much the situation in this movie is an invitation to disaster: a plane ride for the United States (heavens, Mr. Bean in an airplane, remember how he was in a mini car) to go to a …
Halloween Resurrection Movie
Halloween Resurrection is what some people consider to be the end of the horror movie series. Technically they are right since it was the last film to feature the serial killer Michael Meyers from that particular series. Since then though we have seen Rob Zombie do his own version …
Dan in Real Life
You cannot help but adore the actors, Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche is this romantic comedy. To be honest, I found it hard to associate Binoche with a comedy because I have always seen her interprets very serious and difficult characters; however I must admit that she is a …
Crimson Peak (2015 Gothic Horror Movie)
I love Gothic Horror movies, Guillermo Del Toro, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston and so it was a given that I definitely had to see the movie Crimson Peak once it was released. I read both good and bad reviews about it, and so I wasn’t totally sure what to …
Pink Panther 2
My family loved the first Pink Panther movie starring Steve Martin (I actually enjoyed the originals too) so we couldn’t wait to see the sequel last night. In fact, it was in our DVD player 5 minutes after I got home from work.
It was an OK movie but it …
Baker Street Nursemaids
I am reviewing The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
Pathfinder
Pathfinder with Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood, and Russell Means.
The location was somewhere in North America 500 years before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The brutal Viking warriors came from Scandinavia looking for slaves. It is a simple story, but I found it to …
Monster Squad
It has been a long while since I got to see the movie Monster Squad. So, when I was bored this weekend, I popped in the 20th anniversary addition I’ve owned but never opened and watched it again.
Overall, I still think it’s a good movie. But, I will confess …
Spartacus movie
This is another colosal movie about the Rome legend. I think it’s very tragic story. It’s about rebelition of gladiator and slaves to Rome’s kingdom.
The story start when the Rome take many innocent people as slaves. And they choose strong men to get practice to become gladiator. The Rome …
Hoosier Schoolboy movie
The beginning of Hoosier Schoolboy introduces the audience to a town divided by some kind of milk strike. The farmers are being accused of high pricing, so milk is being brought in from elsewhere. I have to admit, in my entire life, I have never heard of …
Gangs of New York (Movie)
I recently watched a movie on television that I have not seen in many years, and I completely remembered why I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen back then. Gangs of New York got quite a bit of flak for being extremely violent, …
Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …
