Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …

Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …

Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …

My daughter has never watched any of the Land Before Time movies before. So, when she picked out one of the newer movies in the series “The Great Day of the Flyers,” I was skeptical about her watching even a few minutes of it.
However, I found she actually enjoyed …

While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …

I have been a fan of the Harry Potter films all the way through. This final chapter did not disappoint me!
It picked up right where Part One left off, just how I was expecting it to start! There was a scene or two of dialog to catch everyone up …

Kung Fu Panda is one of the most wonderful attacks on the kung fu genre. Dreamworks did an excellent job in combining animation, kung fu and of course comedy.The whole movie made my jaw somewhat hurt from all that laughing not to mention the oohs and aahs during the …

“Dead Poets Society” is a brilliant 1997 drama starring Robin Williams as professor John Keating, who arrives to teach at a conservative college in the ultra-conservative 1950s. This is one of Williams’ best performances in his career.
Pros: The movie is wonderful. Williams is likeable and goofy while …

After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.

I have seen all of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. Christmas vacation is easily the worst of the four but I think European Vacation is one of those movies that isn’t as good as the first “Family Vacation” or the last, “Vegas Vacation.”
That’s not to say it is a …

Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.

I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …

I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …

One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …

After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .
The 70s. The phones have …

In a somehow original yet cliche kind of way, The Avengers is one of the best movies of the year and easily the most entertaining. However this action thriller does not come out perfectly, a lot of small flaws make this only a good action movie and not a …

I recently saw the movie Black Sheep and I don’t mean the Chris Farley and David Spade movie from the 1990s, though I’m sure someone will see this one and get confused. This movie is actually yet another horror movie spoof, though this one was better received than a …
