A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …

Hostel Part II
Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …

The Mechanic Movie (2011)
I watched the Mechanic yesterday and I really loved it. Just like other Jason Statham movies, it really delivers: it is action packed, easy to watch, exciting, really keeping you on the edge of your seat.
What was unusual, and what I really liked about this movie, unlike …
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 …

Smurfs 2 is an animation, comedy and family movie of 2013 directed by Raja Gosnell who directed the Smurf which was released in 2011. I enjoyed the Smurfs at its peak, and was expecting the same from the Smurfs 2. The Smurfs 2 was releasing with a couple of …

Marley and Me is a beautiful film showing the relationship between human and pet. I think its based on the novel with the same name. I have not read that novel though but the film is just amazing. It’s a real heart touching one. Owen Wilson and Jennifer …
Carrie Movie
Carrie is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think it truly is a super scary movie. This is one of the Stephen King’s films ever. I think he truly does bring something special to the whole movie. The movie truly does bring something …

A Perfect Getaway (Movie)
When I saw this on the trailer I immediately knew it was going to be a very good suspense/thriller movie. The movie features Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn as the Anderson honeymooners, Timothy Olyphant and and Kiele Sanchez as the other couple, and Marley Shelton and Chris Hemsworth as …
Catch Me if you Can movie
When I first saw the movie “Catch Me if you Can” advertising to be released in theatres I wanted to watch it because of two major reasons. One was because it was the first in a long time I was seeing the actor Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie and …
Executive Decision (1996)
The US president along with his aircraft Air Force One is hijacked by terrorists and the first family is in grave danger, coming to their rescue is none other than the great Steven Seagal, but as the plot would have it, and surprising to me with most other people …
Johnny English
This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …
The Dark Knight
Even before it was shown, so much hype has revolved around The Dark Knight, the 2008 sequel to the critically-acclaimed Batman Begins. I’ve waited for this movie for a long time not just because I want to see the last full-length movie of Heath Ledger, but mainly because I’m …
Mangal Pandey - movie
Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …
Anaconda movie (1997)
As if Snakes were frightening enough. Now, there are sets of movies about giant snakes that have a hunger for human flesh. It’s bad enough that Jaws freaked people out about getting into the water. I, myself, am included in that …
40 Days and 40 Nights
Showtime was showing the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights again last night so I took the time to watch it because there really wasn’t much else on TV.
When I first saw this movie (shortly after it came out on DVD), I thought it was a funny film. Now, …
Boogie Nights (1997 film)
“Boogie Nights” finds director Paul Thomas Anderson (”Magnolia,” There Will Be Blood”) absorbing some amazing influences in both cinematography, structure and storytelling, rolling them all together and making the result uniquely his own. The tragicomic story of a group of porn producers and actors in California’s San Fernando Valley …

The Man from U.N.C.L.E is a spy movie. It is based off the TV show of the same name which kept running from 1964 to 1968. Before viewing this movie I didn’t knew anything about it. Without a doubt I had low desires from it on the grounds that I …
Just My Luck -Film 2006
The Just My Luck DVD ended up in my collection simply because I had seen the leading lady (Lindsay Lohan) in the Herbie Fully Loaded movie and I liked her style so wanted to see what she was like in something totally different.
Just My Luck is the story of …
John Tucker Must Die
I was a bit bored last night and found myself watching the movie John Tucker Must Die.
I had seen the movie before last night but couldn’t remember anything about it. Now I do. It is a terrible movie.
Basically, it is a bunch of girls who overreact when they find …
Vampires Suck Extended Bite Me Edition (Blu-ray)
And the movie starts off with a battle between Team Jacob and Team Edward. Thank you Vampires Suck for starting things off not so right and it continues with Edward getting fully naked and a disco ball is his penis—¦oh man all the vampires look it too. The fun …
St. Trinian’s
The movie “St. Trinian’s” failed to impress me, even though it had an excellent cast of actors such as Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton and Stephen Fry. I found the script lacked certain magic and, in certain moments, there didn’t seem to be a link between one scene …
Tristan & Isolde (2006)
Tristan is the Cornish Knight of a region of England whose village has come under attack by the Irish, he leaches a counter attack and manages to kill the leader of the attacking force, but he too is seriously wounded in the fracas, and he presumably dies when it …
Robin Hood movie
If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it. The opening was depressing and vulgar, and it was anything from the bright and usually …
The Green Mile - DVD 1999
I am a great fan of the novels of Stephen King and I have read the book of the same title as this film several times. I don’t normally follow through to watch films of books namely because I tend to find that watching a film after reading a …
Babes In Toyland (1961)
Disney’s first big screen live-action musical was “Babes in Toyland” starring Annette Funicello, Tommy Sands, Ray Rolger, and Ed Wynn (among others). I had seen it as a small kid and enjoyed it. I just now watched it again as a twenty six year old kid and I kinda …
Bean Movie
Although at some point in our lives we may relate to this almost non-speaking wobbley man in this movie named Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson) shown in 1997 (directed by Mel Smith), because of stupidity we commit every now and then, no one would dare admit it openly. …
Black Snake Moan (R,2007) movie
After watching this film, I think I understand why this movie did not fare so well at the box office. It’s going to take a strong stomach for the majority of Americans to be “okay” with observing a weathered black man keeping a sexually depraved young white woman on …
Mr Death movie
Errol Morris is one of my favorite documentary filmmakers. This time he tells the story of a strange man who verifies the quality of electric chairs for a living, hence the title. But he was also controversial for another reason. He was given a mission to travel to a …
Mister Roberts movie
I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …
Transformers The Dark Side of the Moon Movie
I remember watching the commercials for Transformers thinking another one? After the first and second one how could they really come up with something original. Though don’t get me wrong I loved the first one, even though Megan Fox was in it. At that point I really had no …
The Duff (2015 comedy movie)
It had been a long time since I watched one of those teenage movies, and so after seeing the trailer for the movie “The Duff”; I became interested in seeing it. Despite the opinions of some people I know, it didn’t seem cliche to me at the time, and I …
Ghosts of Mars (2001)
The future of Mars as depicted in this movie shows that the air outside on the planet is breathable and that it can sustain human life without need for air tanks or gas masks or pressure suits of any kind. The story focuses around a police team sent to …
Rush Hour 3
Rush Hour 3 was everything I had hoped for after seeing Rush Hour 1 & 2. The second sequel was filled with action and humor, and follows a plot that will keep one interested the whole way through.
The movie focuses on the reserved Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), who is …
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …
The Nannies Diary
The actress, Scarlett Johansson is simply great in the role of the nanny Annie Braddock. I would have no problems leaving my two year old daughter with her, if she is in search for a full time nanny job which I doubt it!
“The Nannies Diary” is the story of …

The war of the worlds movie
I didn’t quite liked the movie The war of the worlds directed by Steven Spielberg. I love Steven Spielberg’s work and I watch all his movies and enjoy everyone of them. Adding to this I like Tom Cruise’s movies too. So I went to watch this movie and the …
Star Wars: Episode 2- Attack of the Clones
Well, I can say one good thing about Attack of the Clones, it was better than The Phantom Menace! (I said that in my sarcastic voice by the way). First off, the relationship between Anakin and Padma is probably one of the worst relationships every put on …
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …
