Happy Feet
I’ve seen many movies that’s totally hilarious, but ‘Happy Feet reminds me of the old cartoons like ‘Tom and Jerry. I’ve been considered to be the most humorous guy who love to make people wet their pants and for that movie to really move me and to use it …
Deep Blue Sea
Have you guys ever watched the movie Deep Blue Sea which I think was ‘hot’ during 1999..? I caught it on TV the other day and comparing this to Jaws, both have their own ‘uniqueness’, sense of overwhelming danger and suspense.
There is also LL Cool J in …
Gone Baby Gone
Wow. Where to begin with this film. I admit I was a bit nervous about Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, but all of those trepidations were washed away within the first ten minutes of the movie. The story opens with the kidnapping of a little girl and the …

Team America Animated Movie
Now this is one movie with the kind of difference that I really appreciate and love and it was no surprise really for me to discover that ‘Team America’ was developed by the same guys who brought us the controversially entertaining ‘South Park’ series.
It’s quite some food for thought …
HBO miniseries Band of Brothers
This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …
‘Runaway’ a short film by Kanye West
I really didn’t know what to think when I first heard of this short film, which was written by ‘Belly’ writer Hype Williams and directed by Kanye West. If I had not been able to read a brief description of the movie at the time that I heard about …
Narnia movie
I have just returned from seeing the long-awaited Narnia movie (”The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” based on the novel by C.S.Lewis). The movie was excellent!! They didn’t change any of the story, the casting and acting was great, and the computer-generated characters were real and believable. The …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
When I watch the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the film, considering it was made almost 3 decades ago.
It’s hard to believe that’s Donald Sutherland in the starring role of Matthew Bennell and I was impressed with the …
Happily N’ever After DVD
We just bought this on DVD. It looked kind of funny, but I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.
George Carlin, Sigourney Weaver, Andy Dick, Freddie Prince Jr. and others lend their voices to the cast. Which, by the way, really was beautifully cast!
The animation …
Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
Greater Union Cinemas at George Street, Sydney
If you’re new from Sydney and looking for a cinema to watch a movie, then you better stop by Greater Union. I’ve been here since January 2009 and I’m having a great time. I love movies, and the first thing I asked my wife was the cinemas here. She …
300 film
“300″ is a 2007 movie based on Frank Miller’s awesome graphic novel showcasing the Battle of Thermopylae between the Spartans and the massive army of King Xerxes. It is ultra violent, ultra stylized and ultra intense. It is also ultra awesome.
Pros: Where do I start? …
The Trojan War movie
When I first read the description for the Trojan War I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. In fact, the only reason I even decided to watch it is it was too early to go to bed and there was nothing else on.
After watching it, I …

The Nativity Story

Kick-Ass Movie
Kick-Ass is a comic-book superhero movie about a guy who ask himself “why nobody has ever tried to be a superhero?” like the ones on comic-books. Kick-Ass is based in a comic by Mark Millar and I think this is one of the best comic-book movies ever. As a …
Split Second movie
Science Fiction comedy about a man played by Rutger Hauer who goes to look for a hideous monster in London and kill it.
Rutger Hauer is one of the absolutely coolest actors ever in my opinion, but this film is really way to thin and unlogical to convince me. Hauer …
When in Rome (movie) 2010
I watched this movie because occasionally the girls and I like to get together for some good chick flick fun. We’d heard this was one of the latest romantic comedies going around, and ‘Rome’ sounded nice and romantic and all that.
At the beginning, the movie seemed typical enough …

Cinderella - A Twist In Time
I must say that when you have lots of nephews and nieces, you have the excuse of watching kiddie DVD and that I got the chance to watch Cinderella - A Twist In Time. This is something like a sequel to Cinderella and boy does it have lots of …
The Wild (movie)
To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …
Transformers 1 Movie
Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …
P.S. I love you movie
This was a really good movie. Although it made me cry a lot during the movie. Some of the previews made it look like a funny movie and although it had a couple funny parts in it, it was more sad than anything. I cried almost throughout the whole …

40 days and 40 nights
This movie was entertaining but that is about it. If you are bored one night and enjoy movies like this then I would recommend it. This movie isn’t for everyone though. Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon play in it. Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan who decides to vow to …
The Kings of Mykonos (2010 film)
This is an Australian production filmed in the famous Mykonos island, in Greece. As long as you do not form high expectations about it in advance you might have some fun with it.
The plot itself is not a big deal. An Aussie of Greek origin inherits a big deal …
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 …
Angry Beavers
“Angry Beavers” was a Nickelodeon cartoon which used to air on the channel Nickelodeon in the late nineteen nineties, and the early 2000s. When I first discovered it though, I didn’t watch it because I found the cartoon annoying despite the fact that at the time I had not …

Batman Dark Knight
I went to see the Dark night last week and I thought it was great, the movie was very dark and the Joker was very well played. I thought it was an amazing performance. However, In the middle of his record breaking movie run for Batman The Dark …
Spanglish
I like Adam Sander movies for the very reason that it’s fun to watch and you’re sure to be entertained. There are some really popular Sandler movies like Click, which is one of my favorite, Anger Management, The Longest Yard and many more. But Spanglish seemed not to be …
Your Friends and Neighbors (R, 1998) movie
Usually I really like those films that take place in New York, and follow groups of friends around in their fabulously “mundane” single lives. This one was a little odd. I realize that the movie is over 10 years old. But I think it’s …
If Only Movie
This Movie was released 4 years ago. My friend just recommended me to watch this love story movie by Jennifer Love Hewitt. I never thought that Jennifer is really in acting, but I discovered she begun doing movies since early 90’s. I found this movie interesting because I never …

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
I absolutely hated the original Cheaper by the Dozen movie and thought Hollywood was stupid coming out with another one. However, after seeing Cheaper By The Dozen 2, I’m willing to admit this is a rare case when the sequel is much better than the original.
The movie centers around …
The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …
