Marley & Me (2008) Movie
I liked the movie, ‘Marley & Me’ because it’s the story of a family that learns lessons important for life from their naughty and obsessed dog. Although I found the movie to be very beautiful and quite heart warming, there were scenes that were sensitive and touching too. The …
A Roman Holiday (1953)
Just lately, I’ve been wondering why in my history of watching old films, I never sighted an Audrey Hepburn film in TCM, a channel repository for classic movies. Crouched in front of a grainy black and white TV screen, I like to pass the time as a nocturne …

Inside Out, 2015 Animation, Comedy Movie

The Last Legion is a must watch DVD movie starring the ever sweet and sexy Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai and also the handsome Colin Firth. What is the story about, you might wonder, and how on earth a Bollywood actress had been featured in this movie…?
Well, that’s not important. …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” 1975, is one ridiculous movie, a treat for a lover of absurdities and slapstick humor. King Arthur and some of his knights are searching for the holy grail. For some reason they ride imaginary horses - yes, that’s right: throughout the movie …
Crank
By “Crank”, movie directors, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor managed to find a new formula how to make entertaining action movies. In this movie be prepared to see the actor, Jason Statham like you have never seen him before.

Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
When I come to think of it, there was such a long wait involved before I finally achieved closure on the Star Wars story. Just imagine waiting for a decade before I finally found out what was going on. Maybe if I read some books about the …
The Interview, movie
There aren’t many films that generate so much controversy as The Interview has done. Considering its premise it comes as no surprise that it would cause upset within North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is not exactly famed for having a self-deprecating sense of humour.
As is often the …
Bruce Almighty vs. Evan Almighty
I remember thinking that Bruce Almighty was going to be disappointing when I watched it, and I do think that it was a little disappointing in the end. It is not nearly as good as the movie after it. The movie I felt, was a little disrespectful to religion, …
Frozen Fever (2015 Animated Short Film)
After over a year, the long awaited sequel to the smash hit Frozen has finally arrived and I have to say that it is a major disappointment.
The story is awfully slight and I know that they couldn’t do much in 7 minutes, but this is too slight regardless. The birthday …
A Nightmare on Elm Street movie
I’m not sure exactly how I managed to live my life without seeing this particular film, but I have. Upon having seen it, I am glad I have. It was an enjoyable film, the scene when the first girl is killed is quite startling (in my opinion …
Courage Under Fire - (starring Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan)
I remember watching Courage Under Fire during the year of 2000 at the movies and it was quite a wonder why the Director feature both talented actor and actress Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan together. But upon watching the movie, I realized that both of them play a truly …
Emasculating Chode

Miami Vice (2006)
Don’t rent or buy this movie if you’re expecting to see a big screen version of “Miami Vice” that mirrors the slick coolness of the television show it is based upon. Colin Farrell, as Detective Sonny Crockett, doesn’t come anywhere close to having Don Johnson’s rakish swagger. …
Love Affair movie
This 1939 film called Love Affair is considered a classic romantic piece, and it’s beloved by a lot of people, but I’m not really one of them. I just have so many moralistic problems with the piece in various forms. Part of it is the lack of …

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not bad of a movie, if you ask me. Starring Matthew McConaughey, the beautiful Jennifer Garner and the very talented Michael Douglas, this is a movie not to be watched for those loving romantic comedies.
There are quite a few laughable plots, especially …
Pinnochio movie
The movie ‘Pinnochio’ made me feel really disappointed. Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful has been my all time favorite. I watched Pinnochio hoping that it would be as good as Life is Beautiful but I was utterly disappointed. Not in comparison with Life is Beautiful but the movie Pinnochio …

First half of the movie was honestly bored but as it get closed to the war scene, it became the best war movie i have ever seen in my life. Only three hundred people were fighting against a huge country for their country. There was a man who called …
X-Men: First Class, Movie
To be honest I was quite skeptical towards the fifth film in the X-Men series. I found it hard to see James Mcavoy as a young Charles Xavier and the absence of Wolverine also did not help much. What little I saw of the trailer , however , suggested …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …

Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
