I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …

I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …

One of my favourite films by Tim Burton, Beetlejuice is a dark, but highly comic little gem with a fantastic little story at its heart complete with a cast of superb performers.
The film follows a newly wedded couple, played by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin who, shortly after moving …

Let’s face it. So much of Blazing Saddles is so politically incorrect that you’d need several fingers and toes to count the instances. But I don’t think it is a matter of contention with this film. If you take a step back, I think you’ll find Mel Brooks’ intentions …

I haven’t seen the movie Space Cowboys since my wife and I saw it years ago on one of our first dates together (we can’t remember if it was the first or second movie we ever saw together). So, when it came on a couple nights ago, I figured …

There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …

“The Other Sister” is my favorite movie of all time. The acting in this movie couldn’t get much better. This movie features outstanding performances from Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton, Tom Skerritt, and Giovanni Ribisi. I absolutely adored the expression and naivety played by both Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi. …

Major League with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, and Bob Uecker.
There have been many sports movies, but I would classify this film as being in the top three of all time. We all love to root for the underdog …

Why is our society so crazed about sex, sex-related humor, gay humor and such?? Or perhaps this is not the society but just Hollywood? Go figure… Here is another movie full of that stuff, a movie that probably could have been good otherwise.
Blades of Glory is about two figure …

One of the first movies that I remember recognising the actor James McAvoy in was Penelope, which was released in 2006. He’s one of those actors whose movies I will always take a chance with , and that was one of the main reasons why I even decided to …

This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …

This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …

What a pathetic movie. The story is stolen from Cyrano de Bergerac, modernized and stupidified. Steve Martin plays a big-nosed guy, smart and good-hearted but unattractive.

I have a confession. When it comes to movies I�m a huge pushover for vampire films. It doesn�t matter whether they are a blockbuster hit or some B-rated movie on the bargain rack at the video store, I want to see it.
So, when I was surfing through the movie …

Yes, this movie was funny but I miss the old Jim Carrey. This is not nearly as funny as some of his prvious hits like Liar, Liar or Ace Ventura. This movie is more up to par with Bruce Almighty so it definitely has its funny parts …

‘Sin City’ (2005) works of Robert Rodriguez (Desperado) is considered as works of the ground-breaking because dare to raise with the image panel in the graphic novel Frank Miller works are in full into the cinema screen, so it seems we are witnessing a comic image a living. Now, …

Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …

“Amusement” is one of those horror films that you have to watch with few expectations. I went into the movie with an open mind. I liked the fact that the film was broken up into parts, sections that would ultimately culminate into something that I could fuse …
