Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.
So anyway, Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter the good guy - a former cop turned airline …

I know many people love this movie. Even the grade school pupils adore this. But please count me out. This movie I think has overdone it’s attempt to illustrate something in a deeper sense to the point it appeared obscure.
Because of the way the …

“The Ice Harvest” is a black comedy with the actor, John Cusack in top form. What I found interesting about this movie is that it is based during the Christmas season but there is not a lot of Christmas spirit, unless one is referring to alcohol.
The story of this …

Last night, my husband and I rented the third X Men movie on demand. I rarely praise movies or feel like they would be good enough to acutally go and see in the theater, but I must admit, I was really impressed with this movie. I think …

The movie is a fantasy adventure film. It is about a man with the gift of making the characters and stories of the book come alive when he reads the book aloud. The movie started interestingly enough, of evoking a sense of wonderment regarding this absolutely fascinating novel character …

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …

Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …

I came across a cute and girly series anime recently, called “Lucky Star.” The story follows the lives of several girls attending a Japanese high school, with a sense of humor. The main character is Konata Izumi,a.k.a Kona -chan; she’s lazy due to her love of anime and video …

This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …

The movie Officer released in 2001. I watched it on cable. It was an okay film. I really did not like it much. But it is a nice time pass film. The leading roles in the film have been played by Sunil Shetty and Raveena Tandon. Sunil Shetty plays …

Get ready for the thrill ride from this feature length movie starring Tim Robbins as Jacob Singer, a Vietnam soldier. As the movie would have it, there are multiple sides to this chilling story that you need to pay close attention to, one side of the story is that …

Maid in Manhattan (2002): a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez & Ralph Fiennes (Rated PG-13 for some language/sexual references).

Ok, after seeing other Dr. Seuss books turned into movies with mixed results, I had my doubts about Horton Hears a Who. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I was very impressed.
I had expected the movie, which is about an elephant who discovers and protects …

Possibly one of the worst remakes of all time, this movie sank like a stone to the bottom of the river. Unlike the John Carpenter Masterpiece of 1978, this remake just fails. Where the original movie was a masterpiece, this updated cellophane garbage is a huge cinematic failure. …

I have been an avid fan of the Toy Story movies 1 and 2. So when I saw the trailers and the teasers about Toy Story 3, I just had to watch it. Since I was young, I have enjoyed watching Toy Story and I think Toy Story 3 …

This DVD release unfortunately is no better than the season set DVD releases for the show. There are no special features or bonus extras. All that’s on this DVD is eight episodes from the second season of the show. I had hoped when renting this DVD that because there …

I could still remember when I saw the very first Scary Movie sequel. I watched it on VCD, and the whole time while watching this comedy movie made me laugh out loud. The jokes were very funny and the spoof that they made was totally funny as …

Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?
Norbit is one of the dumbest movies that I’ve seen …

It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …

I saw this film with a friend for his birthday. He loves Japanese culture, and I actually met one of the actors, Tsuyoshi Ihara, at a Christmas party at my school. All the girls were crowding around him, he had the presence of a rock star. …

And, the top pick of over 100 anime series is…
DUNN DUNN DUNN…!
Berserk.
Do you like action?
Great art?
Unpredictable plots?
This is it.
So, you might have guessed, but a hobby of mine is watching rare and mainstream anime. I came across it by accident. Picked it up on a rainy day and …

The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …

One of my friends had been nagging me to watch the movie “Shortbus” for several weeks, but I kept putting it off mostly because I did not have the time to actually sit and watch a movie. However, some time ago, we had both managed to watch the movie …

I didn’t find this film uplifting or refreshing in any certain way. Mostly it’s just a copy …

With all of the X-Men films that have been produced for mutant lovers everywhere, another movie revolving around these super human characters caught me as a little of overkill. However, I was proved very wrong after having seen the 2009 X-Men film, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine’. Not only was this …

I can vaguely remember news reports in the nineties when I was a child of war and genocide taking place in the African province of Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsis. I was about six years old when all of this was taking place, so I was blissfully …

We watched the movie Fired Up this past weekend. When I decided to watch it, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an OK movie.
OK, let me start out by saying this film isn’t for everyone in the family. It was about as raunchy …

Again, we have yet another slasher film that attempts to “defy” stereotypes that have existed in the past. Ok, well—perhaps the writers and directors weren’t really trying to defy anything. In fact, this type of movie has been done over and over and over and …

There are some actors and actresses that I avoid when deciding what movies to go to the theater and watch or what movies to rent. I usually avoid anything with Jude Law, Jack Black, and Cameron Diaz. So imagine my surprise when I actually rented a movie staring all …

The yaadein (remembrance) of the film Yaadein in perhaps no longer in any of our mind apart from its lovely songs and charming promotional advertisements (Lol). This movie released in 2001 and was directed by Subhash Ghai. I remember how lovely the promotional advertisement of the film was and …
