The Purge: Anarchy (horror movie)
With the movie “The Purge” and its original concept that I liked, I knew that I most definitely had to and see its sequel “The Purge: Anarchy”. However, it was a matter of making the decision to see it in the cinema or on Blu-ray, because I didn’t think that …

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
Bloodsport (movie )
While I like some action movies, I generally do not like those that include the actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Segal since I have noticed that while these movies are usually jam packed with action scenes, they also usually have the same cliché characters and these action movies …
The Sting (1973)
“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …
VeerZaara Hindi movie
Starring: Sharukh Khan,PreetyZinta,Rani mukhershi,Manoj vajpey,Amitabbachhan,Hema malini.

Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …

Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …
Zoolander
Watch Zoolander and you will go crazy laughing like mad. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this and this is such a funny movie if I’m not mistaken during the early 2000-2003, not sure which period.
However, do not take too serious note of the political issues …
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 …
Chocolat
Remember the movie Chocolat? I would have to say that this was one of my most favorite movies during the early millenium period. Starring Juliette Binoche (nice name), Alfred Molina, Judi Dench and other cast, this movie is a success. The storyline goes roughly around the main …

Blackboard Jungle with Glen Ford, Sidney Poitier, Vic Morrow, and Anne Francis.
I do not understand all the hoopla for this movie as it was very mediocre. Glen Ford is a pleasant enough actor, but not right in the role of a inspirational teacher. Sidney …

Walking with Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs
Walking with monsters: before the dinosaurs, is a fascinating documentary. It is divided into three sections, each one covering a different time period.

Boy eats girl movie
I really like zombie movies, books, comic books and video games. When I saw Boy eats girl on Netflix I decided to watch it. It is a campy teenage zombie film from Ireland. I don’t think it is very old maybe a few years old. It starts off like …

This is one of the better entertainers I have seen in Indian cinema. Katha, meaning ’story’, is directed by Sai Paranjpe, and she has done a fantastic job to narrate ‘Chawl’ (a big house where different people live together, and are allotted one room each - they have a …

Up movie

Superman Returns:The Movie
Superman has always been my very favorite superhero, and this movie I think is the best rendition of him. It shows him in a light that makes him almost human, but at the same time super-human. It also shows how it all began, and then how he returned (hence …
Flesh for Frankenstein movie
This is supposed to be a more artsy depiction of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Paul Morrissey, perhaps the weirdest filmmaker ever, directed this. It stars Udo Kier as dr Frankenstein, the rest are mostly amateurs. I don’t know if I would call this film artsy, but it certainly was …

Movie War

Jurassic World (2015) movie
It’s been fourteen years since “Jurassic Park 3″ made its debut in theaters, and at the time of its release, interest in the franchise seemed to be waning. Perhaps by then, the “wow” factor had been starting to wear off as the 1993 hit “Jurassic Park” stunned movie critics and …
The New Adventures of Heidi movie
