Memoirs of a geisha was craptacular. The plot was overly melodramatic, and there was very little representation of traditional geisha makeup. Basically, a girl is sold by her father to a geisha house, after which her mother and father both die. Orphaned, she becomes the quintessential …

When the movie Waterboy first came out, it was one of my favorite movies. But, after watching it quite a few times, both on DVD and on TV, I’m coming to realize it really isn’t that great of a film after all.
Adam Sandler is funny in it and I …

I can’t help to mention that Max Payne is just a stupid movie. I wish that it could have been better so that I could give a real positive review, but watching this from start to finish at the cinema was just a waste of time. I wasted …

A few years ago, when She’s the Man was in theaters, I saw a few previews for the movie. I thought the movie looked dumb and unrealistic. However, I decided to give it a chance because my friends wanted to go see it. I am very …

I saw this movie when it was shown in the big screen and it wasn’t that exciting as I expected it to be. When I first knew that Jason Statham was going to be here I thought it would be a very hot action movie, but it got quite …

My wife and I came across the movie Walking Tall on television last night (the re-make, not the original) and, because we hadn’t seen it in a while, decided to watch it.
I haven’t seen the original yet and can’t compare the two. But, this one, starring The Rock, was …

Screwed is a very funny movie and I couldn’t suppress my laughter throughout the movie. It has so many comedy scenes one after another that people can not control their laughter. I faced the same problem throughout the movie when I watched in theater some years ago. It …

Anna and the King, directed by Andy Tennant is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some intense violent sequences. The original release date was December 17, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/History/Romance and stars Jodie Foster as Anna …

Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …

I was really excited to watch this movie. I watched it as soon as I got it in the mail. I thought it was going to be really funny. Well it was a little funny in the beginning and then the movie just got worse. It was boring, not …

I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …

Since yesterday was Halloween, my wife and I spent part of the afternoon watching scary movies. One of the movies we ended up watching was one I haven’t seen in a long time called Dolls. I didn’t remember much about it, other than, when I was younger, it scared …

The Simpsons family are going to watch a movie out in the open. the entire Springfield town seems to be there. First movie that is shown by Ned. However it turns out to be really lame, and another film sis shown. It is Patty and Selma’s vacation films. They …

“Viva Las Vegas” is one of my favorite Elvis Presley films. I’ve wanted it on DVD for a long time, so last week was able to acquire the Deluxe Edition.
The DVD container comes with a slide on jacket of Elvis and Ann-Margret. The back of the jacket …

“Someone like you” is a cute romantic movie with Ashley Judd as the main actress. The best way to describe this movie is a female version of “Buying the Cow” with the actor, Jerry O’Connell in the main role. Between the two movies personally I much prefer “Buying the …

I only watched The Guardian because one of the main stars is Kevin Costner. I’ve liked him for a long time, even though not all of his movies have been the best. I knew from the previews that Ashton Kutcher was in the movie too, but I still wanted …

We have often rented movies at Blockbuster, but lately we have been checking out a smaller video store down the road.
When the smaller store down the road does not have the movie we are looking for, we head to Blockbuster. The reason we opt to go to the smaller …

I had never heard of a romantic thriller starring Demi Moore. But because I am a semi-fan of hers, I was intrigued. The story takes places both in London and on a Scottish Isle (most of the drama is on the Isle.) Demi’s …

Before seeing this movie in the theater, I’d never heard of Nicolas Winding Refn. The film surprised me, and pleasantly so.
Keep in mind that when I say pleasantly, I mean brutally. To some these words may be interchangeable. I’d advise you to avoid such individuals. “Drive” was one of …

I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …

3:10 to Yuma is a remake of the western movie with the same title. It is the tale of outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) who has been raving the railroads. When he is captured in a small town, a local farmer who is also a civil war veteran (Christian …

Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora. Throw in Jack Nicholson as Aurora’s womanizing, astronaut neighbor, and you have the perfect movie. The opening scene shows Emma still at home, …

“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …

My aunt treated me to the movies the other night, and we decided to watch Zodiac. It was just released in my country, and I have a great time watching this movie. Here is my review.
The movie is about a killing spree that sort of terrorized San …

One of the most anticipated movies this year. With a huge celebrity line up from Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe to Common. This movies deserves all its appreciation and glory. The movie is about New York Harlem F.B.I
squad which is supposed to crack down on drugs and harm to …

Ever since I heard about the new movie coming out from one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton I knew I had to see it. Even before watching the trailer and even before knowing that the stop motion animation was a remake of one of his earliest movies, I …

The 2nd Batman movie, The Dark Knight, is a great movie. In this movie, Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) tries to stop the corruption in Gotham. He has help from his on/off again love interest Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and his good older friend Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), who basically …

One of my favorite Japanese directors Hayao Miyazaki, has done a wonderful job in creating the 2001 Japanese animation “Spirited Away”. The characters in this movie are relatable and ones that I quickly fell in love with, and I am sure that many other people can truly enjoy this …

This is one of my favorite animated movies. I love to watch this movie with my younger sister. It’s a great movie for the whole family and enjoyable to watch. It kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. There were plenty of parts that made me really …

Mo’ Money, written by Damon Wayans and directed by Peter MacDonald is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 24, 1992 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comesy/Crime/Romance/Thriller and stars Damon Wayans as Johnny Stewart, Stacey …

Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …

This movie will now and forever be one of my favorite horror movies. It’s a true classic. This is based in Antarctica where a bunch of scientists are doing some experiments. They uncover a dark terror that seems to evade them at every turn. It first starts off with …

I actually found the movie “Copying Beethoven” by accident as I had confused it with another movie I had seen years earlier and was searching high and low for a very long time. As soon as I saw the movie begin, I realised that it was not the movie …

The entire movie felt like an indie film from start to finish. The script was refreshing, the cinematography was very basic yet effective and the cast was not that famous but still lived up to their roles. I never liked Anne Hathaway and her character as Kym only solidified …

The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …

Recently my husband and I are really into watching films and especially good romantic comedy’s. So last Sunday as we normally do we walked round our local car boot and we saw a DVD called the wedding planner. We had first seen this film when it came …

‘Black christmas’ is a movie directed by Glen Morgan. The actors are Katie, Michelle, Mary Elizabeth etc.. The movie is the story of a person named Billy. When he was a child, Billy was abused by his mother. His mother had murdered his father on a Christmas day and …

I like Omar Epps in his reoccurring role on the show “House” but I’m not convinced he is a good Hollywood actor, capable of carrying a movie when asked.
A good example is the film In Too Deep. Epps stars in the movie and does a decent job as a …

I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …

The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …

I recently bought a VCD of Om Shanti Om as i was desperate to see the Shah Rukh starrer on my screen, considering all the hype around the movie, it was not up to the mark but yeah it was not far from it either. The movie started with a …

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer stars Ben Wilshaw as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille who was born into the revolting street smells of eighteenth century Paris with an obsession with scents and with little else filling his head. I am not usually attracted to films that are described as a …

Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …

How lucky is Will Smith to be able to act with his real life son Jaden? What a fine performance the two of them put in to make Pursuit of Happyness such a joy to see. It is the story of hope, tenacity, desperation, all the things humans in …

This is a good movie if you like horror movies and you don’t mind gory things. If you are a person that doesn’t like gory or cannot take it I don’t recommend it. It kept me interested, the acting was good, I wasn’t really bored at all. There were …

I love watching movies and one of my favorite actors is Tom Hanks. I can watch his old movies and one of my favorites is Turner and Hooch.
Detective Turner played by Tom Hanks, is getting ready for a transfer to a better job in a bigger town. He …

Shelter is a movie that could have been so much more. It had all the right ingredients: a great actress in the lead- Julianne Moore, a thrilling concept and some well researched information about actual rites and traditions. But the way all of it was put together, just did …

Ice Princes is about a girl named Casey Carlie who is trying to complete a physics project so she can get a scholarship for college. Her professor told her to make it about something personal. That’s when she came up with the idea to study the girls figure skating …
