Soul Survivors is one of the most confusing movies ever made. Yet I still find myself watching it every few years. When I do re-watch it, I still find myself wondering what exactly happened, and feeling highly confused by the plot. Then a few months pass, and I end …
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (science fiction movie)
I haven’t really been a fan of “The Hunger Games” movies for a very long while. As a matter of fact, while I don’t think they are terrible I’m one of those people who would describe it as being “a tad bit overrated”. However, it was curiosity more than anything …
Erin Brockovich
Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …

Movie Apocalypto

The Butterfly Effect
I didn’t watch the Butterfly Effect when it first came out. It looked somewhat interesting, however the fact that it starred Kelso from That 70’s Show sort of turned me off. I mean, it is Kelso we are talking about, who wants to watch him in a …

Date Night Movie (2010)
Every movie Steve Carrell makes I am loving him more and more. It seems he just gets better at what he does best - acting comedic parts that aren’t really supposed to be funny. I know it doesn’t like a complement but he really is a good actor and …
Texas Chainsaw Massacrew Original

Away We Go is based on what I thought was a cute idea, so I really wanted to go see it. I missed it in the theatres though, because my friends wanted to see other things. I’m pleased that I managed to see it even though I didn’t get …
The Call (movie)

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman movie (2005)
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman is one my favorite movies from the Director Tyler Perry. I personally consider it to be one of his classics and better written stories. Compared to some of his latest films, this one is actually gripping because the storyline is true and happens to …
The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …

Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author.

After embracing Buddhism, the actor Richard Gere is getting very attentive which movies to be involved in. In all honestly, I am not surprised that he chose to particate in “Bee Season”. The biggest surprise was that this is not a Gere or Juliet Binochet movie, but solely a …
