Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.
Danny Archer (Leonardo …
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …
Alvin and the Chipmunks movie
I hated this movie so much for many different reasons. One of the main ones was that I expected that they would have made a better movie for it being that “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons would come on local tv on Saturday mornings and it was one of …
Chalk
I am reviewing the movie, Chalk. This is a mockumentary about teachers. This movie follows around a history teacher, a PE teacher, and a group of others. It focuses on the challenges of the classroom, dealing with disipline and kids. Issues about classroom behavior, ethics, testing, …
Vacancy
This movie starring Kate Beckinsdale and Luke Wilson, was interesting to watch. It is a bit suspenseful, with decent acting and a decent story, but the ’snuff’ factor is a bit sensationalistic and the story itself is a bit short. It is still good enough to watch and be …
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne Ultimatum is the last and final chapter in the Bourne series. Also, in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. This last statement is saying a lot because I really LOVED the first two movies in the series. I though they were some of …
The Money Pit
This 1986 Tom Hanks flick is a light comedy about the trials of a young couple who goes into debt to buy a huge house, only to discover that the house is falling apart and needs to be practically re-built. When they first see the house, Walter and Anna …
Pride and Prjudice 2006
It is very rare that I see a movie of a book that I have read and that I like it. This movie, Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly was an exception. The film work was exceptional, the acting was superb, and the costumes were stunning. This is another …

Belligerent Ghost
I am reviewing The Case of the Belligerent Ghost, 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 Howard, …
The Notebook movie
Although I don’t watch as much romantic movies as I do action/adventure thrillers, I saw The Notebook and I totally loved it. It really made me cry. It’s about Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), a young, wealthy teenage girl who vacations with her family to North Carolina. There she meets …
Blue Collar Comedy Tour
I am reviewing the video, Blue Collar Comedy Tour. This video captures the on stage/off stage moments of comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy. Throughout this tour, you’ll hear several of Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck…”, and Engvall’s “Here’s your sign.” …
Scream 4 ( 2011 Movie )
I decided to unwind last night and watched this movie on DVD. Scream 4 is another sequel to the 1996 hit Scream which raked more than 170 million in the box office.
The plot starts with an anniversary killings in the fictional place of Woodsboro. Just on the fifteenth …
Trade (R, 2007) movie
Trade is a film which is based on real events that have been apparently taking place for years. The movie itself was derived from a 2004 article on the sex trafficking trade which exists on the country’s borders. The film begins much like a lot …
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
When my family rented the film from our local Hastings a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what this “Sweeney Todd” character entailed. Indeed, the name sounded more of the same banal comedic drudgery that plagues the genre. My initial suspicions were proved utterly superficial when I …
Winter Sonata movie
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 …
What We Do in the Shadows-2014 Comedy, Horror Movie
What We Do in the Shadows is a comedy movie. It is one of the most inventive and unique movies i have ever seen regardless of its extremely low budget. As a matter of first importance, let me tell you that this is neither a Twilight parody nor it have …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
My son is a big fan of mummy series, and I had to watch the earlier two parts with him as well. This one is set in china, and the story goes that thousands of years ago, one Chinese king, wanted to rule the world, and was looking for …

Well, first off, Evangelion 1.0: You Are Not Alone is part of the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is part of a 4 movie project to reboot the series, shaping the storyline to be easier understood by mainstream audience, as well as adding new characters and the …
American Pie 2 movie
I got bored Friday night and ended up watching American Pie 2 on one of our movie channels. I haven’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember much of it. It turns out there’s a reason why it wasn’t that memorable.
The first American Pie movie is a …
In the name of the father movie
Based on a true story, this film reveals some severe weaknesses in the british justice system as a man, played marvellously by Daniel Day-Lewis, is wrongfully accused and imprisoned for a murder. And not only that, but his whole family, who are also all innocent, are convicted. This was …

Pride and Prejudice movie
Just yesterday I watched the new “Pride and Prejudice” on the CD, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations it was not all that good. The book gives sharp description of each character. Elizabeth is described as a beautiful intelligent girl but kiera knightly looked more like Joe …
Way of War
OK, I’ve always thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was much better in comedies than dramas (with a few exceptions). But, the movie Way of War does more than prove me right about that.
This movie, which casts Gooding as a special operations assassin, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think they …
Knight and Day Movie (2010)
As I saw the trailer for this movie a few weeks ago, I knew I had to watch it, seeing Tom Cruise in action again, plus with funny Cameron Diaz playing as his lady love in the movie. When the movie finally hit the screen, a lot of people …
Payel
A best cinema hall in siliguri with good facilities for the movie lover. It is located in the middle of the siliguri, every people can watch and can go home easily with Auto or Rickshaw. It is an air conditioned cinema hall with dolby surround sound. Video screen is …
Tron: Legacy movie
My winter holiday began last week and after months and months of toil and mental abuse offered freely and in great quantities by the glorious educational system, I decided that there would be no greater way to commence the days of pseudo-freedom than going to see a movie. And …
Hostel: Part II (2007)
Three American female students are lured to a hostel in Slovakia where terrible things happen to people. Pickup up from where the first one left off, this sequel as most sequels do, does not live up to the previous movie.
While on the train to Prague, they encounter bad mannered …
Fracture
The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …
Movie Swan Princess
I decided to sit down and watch a movie with my daughter yesterday before she took her nap. After some discussion (I really did not want to watch another Scooby Doo movie), we ended up watching The Swan Princess. I didn’t know what to expect at first, but it …
The Horror Within
When I decided to watch the movie The Horror Within the other night, it was with the expectation it would be a low-budget, cheesy horror flick.
I was partially right. It was low budget and cheesy but it was more of a comedy than a horror movie.
Let’s face it, whenever …
Heathers (movie)
I might not see her in many movies now, especially after her shoplifting stunt a couple of years ago but once upon a time, Winona Ryder was one of my favourite actors. I especially liked a couple of her films from the eighties, some of which I could watch …
The Monster That Challenged The World, MGM/UA Midnight Movies DVD
The Monster That Challenged The World was one of many “Giant Monster” movies invading movie theaters in the Fifties, after the success of such hits as Them! which this movie’s story closely follows. This time the menace are a group of giant snails-that’s right, snails-that start to …
The Parent Trap (remake)
I am very skeptical about remakes, and since the original The Parent Trap was one of my all time favorite family films, when I saw the remake arriving on the scene in 1998, I was concerned, big time. Happily, though, I found the remake to be delightful. It’s …

A Mighty heart
A Mighty heart is a boring movie which I have seen a few days back on a cable channel, by mistake. The movie starring Angelina Jolie, Dan Futterman, Will Patton and Irrfan Khan. The movie was shot mostly in India, though they haven’t shown very much of any place …
Krrish 3 (Movie)
If I look back at all the Bollywood films I have seen till date, Koi Mil Gaya.. released in 2003 is the BEST of all of them. What worked for this E.T.-inspired flick were - it being one of the first sci-fi movies of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan’s abnormal character …
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
Spotlight (2015 Film)
There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
Spotlight is that kind of film. It tells the story of the dark secrets of this world that people needs to understand, because …
Hairspray movie
I am very surprised at how much I liked this movie with it being a musical. I don’t know if its because they had such good actors and actresses in the movie or what. I really enjoyed watching it and I usually don’t like musicals. I enjoyed watching this …
Movie Without Reservations
We have a lot of DVD’s and we enjoy going to the movies, it is a great past time. We recently purchased a movie called Without Reservations, starring Catherine Zeta Jones, what a beautiful woman.
She plays a chef in this movie, and her sister passes away and …
Cadillac Records (R, 2008)
After hearing the hype about Beyonce being in this movie, I can’t say that I was itching to go see it. With all due respect to Beyonce, her acting abilities have left a little to be desired. In any event, I was surprised to realize that …
Bleak House (2005)
At first, I was not sure whether I liked the new Bleak House (released in 2005) better than the old version I have in my collection of classics (the 1985 Masterpiece Theatre production). I was so used to the old version that it took me some time to warm …

Movie Tavern
This is by far, hands-down, beyond a shadow of a doubt THE worst movie theater I have ever been to in my life, and I have been to a few pretty bad ones. I have never had a movie experience so ruined as I did the night I attended …

My boyfriend and I decided to watch The Hunger Games on Netflix this weekend because we both read and loved the book and hadn’t seen the movie yet.
First off, I thought the character choices were great. Jennifer Lawrence …
Movie Click
This movie is told a lot of things about life. The genre of this movie is drama-comedy I think. In this movie, Adam Sandler plays as a Dad and a husband who loves his family but he wanna get instant in his career. Because of that he work so …
