The Wolverine (movie)
When the movie “The Wolverine” was released last year, I found that I was nowhere near interested in seeing it unlike the other movies in the “X-men” series. Until now, I still have a difficulty placing my finger on why exactly this was since I generally look forward to …
Puppet Master 2 movie
Puppet Master 2 is one of my favorite movies of all times. I love the feeling and spooky feel of this film. The sotry is very well written and the acting by the puppet master in this film is truly very scary and very dark. I thought the theme song …

The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
Disney movie: Planes
I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.
First of all I have to say the animation was flawless, …
The Good German
Back to basics. This film was shot entirely in black and white, reminiscient of the old days of film-making, before special effects or computer graphics. Risky, but it proved brilliant. The lack of digital enterntainment required the actors to step up to the plate, and they did so much …
Netflix.com
When I first saw that Netflix was offering the same thing that Blockbuster was, but with the “Watch Instantly” option, I thought that it had to be the coolest thing ever. And it really is. I had been using Blockbuster.com for a year and was really …
Precious
Precious was a moving story based on the novel Push by Sapphire. I went to the show a few weeks ago to see it. There were some unexpected parts in the movie which proved difficult or disturbing to watch, but it was still a must-see movie. It told the …
Buried Movie (2010)
Yes, I have watched Buried, a Ryan Reynolds movie directed by Rodrigo Cortés. And yes, I have watched all of it- from the very beginning to the very end. Now, if this statement sounds a bit unusual, this is why: I would never in a million years watch a …

This film start john Sena who is a very famous wrestler. The story is about his wife being kidnapped by robbers and john Sena trying to save her. This movie is meant to be an action movie but it doesn’t have any thrilling elements. The stunts are quite ordinary …
Ice Age
Ice Age is a different movie set in the time of the Ice Age. It is definitely not for those who aren’t into animated films, since it follows the animated scheme a lot. It is a simple and entertaining story with some great scenes and it works. It isn’t …

House of Wax
House of Wax is a horror movie that most people hated right away, but I liked it. I wouldn’t say that I loved the movie, but I didn’t think it was nearly as bad as everyone said. I’ve never seen the original movie and all I know of it …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie
I had heard generally good things about this movie, but I was surprised by just how good it was. It’s rather hilarious, but it is also rather sweet and heartwarming.
The movie follows Flint Lockwood, an aspiring inventor who manages to create a machine that can turn water into …
Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
2 Guns movie
I was just browsing through the On Demand Section provided from my TV Provider, I came across the title “2 Guns” My first thought was it wasn’t going to be a very good movie, but hey never judge something by it’s cover right? So I read the description of …

Dead Like Me: Forget Me Not
Piper Laurie had a very nice role in Dead Like Me: Forget Me Not from season two of this quirky Showtime series. She was poignant at moments and funny at other times. She’s a class actress and she did a great service to Dead Like Me in …
Return of the Jedi
In the third installment of the original Star Wars triology was the Return of the Jedi. I think that this was one exciting movie.
Our list of charachters return with Luke Skywalker now a full fledged Jedi, and part of him, his arm has been replaced with …
He’s Just Not That Into You movie
As far as romantic comedies go, or better known as —˜chick flicks,’ I suppose “He’s Just Not That Into You” is okay. This movie certainly has an all-star cast, including Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, and Drew Barrymore, so even if the plot is lame, these names and faces can …
The Conjuring, horror movie
On the whole, Horror is a genre that avoids the avant-garde, particularly the films that Hollywood produces. The Conjuring is little exception to this lack or experimentation.
The film explores issues and themes pertained to countless horror films before it; the main premise being that of a family moving …
DVD WONDERLAND
John C. Holmes was the single most famous adult film star in history. In the early 1980’s, long after his porn career had ended, he found himself faces murder charges in the deaths of several lowlifes on Wonderland Ave in Los Angeles. This is that story.
Val Kilmer plays …
Dedication Movie
In must admit that I really enjoy watching Mandy Moore’s movie; however “Dedication” failed to impress me. Even though the great actors, Diane Wiest and Tom Wilkinson give a lot to this movie, ultimately I found it a boring romantic comedy. It seems that I am not the only …
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
Why is it that books are always better than movies? A colleague explained that because in books, you visualize what is happening based from your own perceptions. You have a control on the scene, hence, you can create scenes according to your own imagination. This is why when a …
Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005)
The Steven Spielberg remake of the famous War of the Worlds 1953 movie was downright disappointing. The movie borders on awful, and really doesn’t come through. Despite the good cast, it was poorly directly and badly written. While the original movie was inspiring and filled with tension, …

Love and Death (1972) Movie
Love and Death is a very silly 1972 movie written and directed by the fantastic Woody Allen and I just re-watched it yet again. It cheered me up for at least three days after watching it, especially as the scene —˜No, you must be Don Fransisco’s sister’ kept …

Arabian Nights (1999 Film)
Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.
In this film, Scheherazade (played by Mili Avital) is trying desperately …
Movie Pretty in Pink
I must admit that recently I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and watched “Pretty in Pink”. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies for Molly Rigward along with “Sixteen Candles”. According to certain reviews, it also seems to be Molly Rigward …
George Lucas in Love Movie
A mixture of romance, documentary and comedy about a young George Lucas finding his inspiration to the Star Wars films. As the Star Wars fan I am, it was very interesting to see how George might have been inspired by different characters in his own life and putting them …

Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …
Movie: Antibodies
The German film Antibodies is one of those films where going in you have no idea what you are going to get. When I saw the cover, which featured a naked man covered in blood in a stark white room I was thinking this was going to be …
The Disappearance of Flight 412 movie
I remember watching The Disappearance of Flight 412 when it came on TV for the first time in 1974. I bought it, hook, line, and sinker. I’m not necessarily talking about the UFO bit, well, yes, I am.
The truth is that I’m not arrogant enough to believe …

“The Seven Samurai” filmed by Akira Kurosawa in 1954 still remains one of the most popular movies of all times. Almost a three and a half hours long, the movie runs with subtitles, so be warned if you find having to read subtitles annoying.
The story takes place in 16 …
Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …
