Miss Congeniality
The actress, Sandra Bullock is very much related to light hearted, feel good movies and “Miss Congeniality” is one of these movies. “Miss Congeniality” success is greatly based on Bullock’s acting abilities and a great script that includes action, adventure, humour and romance all mixed up together.
In this movie …
Priest (Movie 2011)
My boyfriend wanted to see this film a few weeks ago, and so he asked me out and we watched it. Well, to tell you honestly, when I saw the trailer, I knew that it was going to suck! And no, I’m not basing my judgment on the director …

The Deep End of the Ocean
I haven’t seen this movie for years until I saw it on television again late last year. It has a similar name to another movie called “The Deep End” and is not to be confused with it as they both have two completely different plots. Nevertheless I think that …
Hate Crime movie
Hate Crime is a movie that came out recently. It is little known, but should be better known , because it is a very good movie. First off, the movie was technically very well done- good camera work, good acting, etc. I always watch for those kinds of things …
Wax Mask movie
An italian horror film that was included in a Dario Argento dvd box I got ahold of recently. The strange thing is that Argento did not direct this, so did another man named Sergio Stivaletti.
The film is set in France in the early 20th century. People are getting killed …

Journey to the End of the Night (2006)
Director: Eric Eason. Featuring : Brendan Fraser, Mos Def and Scott Glen.
I definitely understand the message behind the story- you cannot escape your destiny, no matter how hard you try. And probably the secondary one- that the evil and the plotting ones cannot win, it is the innocent who win …
Moviestar.ie
Moviestar.ie is an online dvd rental service available to people living in ireland. This is the second service I have tried and so far the best. They have a great choice of dvds and you can preview the trailers before you order, even though sometimes the trailer does not …
Baise Moi (movie)
“Baise Moi” is a French movie I watched with English subtitles after a friend recommended it to me. I’d rather not reveal what the title translates to in English here, since it would be extremely inappropriate, however, if the curiosity is too great one can simply go to Google …
The Pink Panther movie
The genius comedian Peter Sellers here appears in his probably most beloved role as the police inspector Clouseau, who has a very funny accent and naive approach to everything. His mission is to find to evil Phantom, a jewelry thief. Certain traces lead Clouseau to Switzerland and a wealthy …

“Phone” Movie 2004 from Tartan Asia Extreme
I rented this movie from Netflix because I had pretty much seen all the other horror ones on my list and had become bored waiting for new ones to come out. I had enjoyed foreign films in the past, and always found Asian horror to be different and interesting. Like …
Balls of Fury
I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …
Agar Film
Agar- Film Review : I watched this movie a few days back. The story is about a young man, played by Tushar KApoor, who is accused of murdering a woman, who denied his love. He is rescued by a psychiatrist, and accidentally he falls in love with psychiatrist’s wife. …
Limitless, movie
What would you do, if you could access 100% of your brain? This question is taken to the next level, in this unbelievable action thriller, Limitless. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Going in to this movie, I had no idea what to expect, but after I watched …
The Butler (Historical Drama Movie)
I like historical dramas so when I found out about The Butler I knew immediately that I just had to see it, even if I wasn’t able to view it in theatres at the time. Shortly after the amount of bad reviews and ratings it had received from regular viewers …
Grandview USA movie
1984’s Grandview USA stars Patrick Swayze and Jamie Lee Curtis as high school friends who discover love many years later. Surprisingly, Swayze and Curtis do well together. It’s not a pair I would normally think of, but they work for the way in which their characters are …
Zack and Miri Make a Porno movie
When I first saw the movie “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, I was not the slightest bit interested in it for several reasons. The very first one was the fact that the actor Seth Rogen was in one of the lead roles as Zack, and I have never …
Miss Congeniality 2
Miss Congeniality 2 is a must watch! It stars Sandra Bullock and you don’t really have to watch the first part to be able to watch Miss Congeniality 2. In fact, you wouldn’t feel ‘lost’ at all, trust me. However, I’ve watched both and here is my …
Movie “Case 39″ (2009)
I do not particularly like or have anything against Rene Zellweger. This movie was ok. I liked the plot but some of it was cheesy and too campy for my taste and I like horror and campy movies. The plot is cool in this film. …
The Shawshank Redemption
To say it bluntly, this is my second favorite movie of all time (#1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark if you’re curious) and absolutely deserving of its current top spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. What is so great about this movie is that …
The Painted Veil
I am absolute biased in writing this review because in adore Edward Norton’s work, give it that he may interpret the worst of criminals or the best of lovers. I find that Norton has got a lot of passion in his work and really tries to give his best …
Wall-E Movie (2008)
The movie “Wall-E” is a unique Disney-Pixar new classic that blends technology, charm and lessons about caring for our environment. The title character is a quirky little janitorial robot. He is supposed to clean up a planet Earth that has been abandoned by humanity due to an …

Be careful what you wish for this is the story line behind this movie as a young man craving love and attention from a beautiful woman strikes a deal with the devil in human form. Every wish that he makes comes to reality but with a dark twist and …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is one of the movies I watched a few hours before New Year’ eve as a way to pass time. The movie stars Adam Sandler who plays the role of Longfellow Deeds, a small town guy who went to New York for the first time to collect …
The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …
Bug (2007)
This movie is one of the nastiest, creepiest movies that you are ever going to see, when I first saw this movie, and how it all got off to a slow and easy going start by introducing the characters and how they got to know each other, it was …

Sex Tape (comedy movie)

“Get Up” is the first single and music video from Ciara’s second album titled “Ciara: The Evolution”, it’s also featured on 2006’s “Step Up” Soundtrack. It samples 1984’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell in a very clever fashion as the song …

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
I have always been a huge fan of vampire movies, but I have to say that Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” is the most bizarre vampire movie I have ever seen. There is a lot of great talent in this movie - including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette …
Star Wars: Episode 4: A New Hope
Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope is about a farmboy on the planet of Tatooine named Luke Skywalker. After his Uncle Owen buys a pair of droids he discovers a message from Rebel Alliance member Princess Leia and sets out to find Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi who …
Beauty and the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated movie. It is indeed a timeless cinema classic. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s the story of a prince who was turned …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
Orlando movie
Orlando, 1992, is one strange movie. Orlando, a young nobleman and poet in 16th century England, is told by Queen Elizabeth I to never grow old and never die. He does exactly that - and more. Not only he goes on living through centuries without aging a day, at …
Matt’s Million movie
When I began watching this British movie, I thought, “Definitely not Hollywood.” I don’t know how to describe it, but the movie had this simplistic, almost amateur feel. However, very soon I stopped noticing it.
The story itself is not very original: a teenage boy unexpectedly becomes a millionaire. I …
Stolen Life (2005)
If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …
Vantage Point
I heard mixed opinion about “Vantage Point” so I decided that I really had to watch it to form my own opinion. “Vantage Point” is an interesting complex movie and also very original in shooting. In my opinion, the studios took a great risk in producing such an …
Music and Lyrics
Where do you get your inspiration in anything? The movie “Music and Lyrics” tries to answer that question, and in this case, for a song.
The movie tells the story of Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a ‘has-been’ 80’s pop star who’s trying to revive his career. The chance comes when …
Tangerine (2015 Film)
The talk about “a film shot entirely with an iPhone 5S” stunned me last year. I know it is an indie (independent film) but still, the thought that almost everyone can make a glorious film without ever spending big is a big news for me. I have been very interested …
Mimic 2
Mimic 2 is the second version of the original movie. Did you see Mimic? If you did, you might want to skip this one because you already know what is in store for you! The thing about Mimic 2 is that it is more of the same, mutant beings …
Apt Pupil (movie)
Based on a novel written by Stephen King, the film is about the disturbing relationship between a man and a boy, characters who share a terrifying secret.

Inception (movie)
Inception is an 2010 action, adventure and mystery movie directed by one of my favourite directors Christopher Nolan who has directed the successful Batman movies. The movie was doing very well on the box-office and my expectations were pretty high after knowing that my favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio is …
