Religulous documentary
This is an excellent documentary - not only is it a must see but it is a must buy for your video library. I would warn though, for people who are religious - a lot of content may be viewed as offensive. In the documentary Bill Maher …
Desperate Escape movie
Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …
Movie “The Mist”
I adore a movie that leaves me shaking. Any film that you watch and walk away with mentally disturbed by the plot and not because they went with a cheap method of offending you is a real gem. Lots of movies go ahead and kill off the …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my most favorite musicals. I love the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber (I think he’s a genius). I especially love ‘The Music of the Night’. That’s why when I heard that it was going to be made into a movie, I …

The Hurt Locker
Prior to bagging the best picture trophy, this was not one of my favorites. I was rooting for The Blind Side or Precious for the Best Picture in this year’s Academy Awards.
The story revolves around the lives of William James who heads the US Army Explosive Disposal …
Darkman movie
The first time I saw the movie “Darkman” was before I had cable television and I used to go over to one of my relatives house to watch television sometimes, especially on summer holidays when I did not have anywhere else to be or anything to do. However, at …

I am reviewing the movie, Romeo and Juliet. This is Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey play Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers who defy their feuding families in order to be together.

Without A paddle
This is a great movie for a day that you want to just kick your feet back and relax, maybe laugh a little. It was really funny in some parts, other parts were just ok funny. I really enjoyed watching it, and bought the movie. I would watch it …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
The Matrix Reloaded is the 2003 sequel to the highly successful 1999 film The Matrix. The move was hard to follow to say the least, I thought the first was was confusing, this was impossible, the movie seems pieced together, I remember seeing a ton of interesting stuff, I …

Spider man 3 script was poorly written,too many characters,forgot what story to tell.At the same time,movie manages to entertain and you will see breath-taking fight scenes,rich visuals etc., You feel that many scenes are selected from other movies or previous spider man movies.
Some spoilers
There are good scenes where Parker …
I’m not there - Bob Dylan
This movie is a very abstract and interesting one and if you’re into Bob Dylan, you won’t be disappointed. Theres a few different characters which represent different aspects of dylans life.

Valentine movie
Valentine with David Boreanaz and Denise Richards.
This horror clone of Friday the 13th is an entertaining flick, but since it has been preceded by many similar works of the same pattern it loses its attraction. Generate an unknown masked killer with a grudge. Insert …
Happy Feet
I have watched the movie ‘Happy Feet’. This is a very nice movie. This movie is about penguins. The story line is good. There is a penguin couple in Antarctica. This couple gives birth to a male penguin.
This male penguin is very much different from the other penguins …
16 Blocks
I’m tired this morning. I had hoped to go to bed at a decent hour last night but then the movie 16 Blocks came on television. My wife and I started watching it and had intended to turn it off early; figuring it would be on again another day. …
Paul movie
British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …
Bad News Bears
I was flipping channels today and came across the original Bad News Bears on one of the movie channels. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie and I have to admit it is much better than I remember it.
The interesting thing about Bad News Bears is, while …
Evan Almighty movie
This movie, a sequel in premise only to the earlier Bruce Almighty, is a fun PG rated film to enjoy with the whole family. Morgan Freeman once again plays God, with of course the ability to appear and reappear at will to whomever he desires. Steve Carell reprises his …

Black Sheep 2008 Movie
I recently saw the movie Black Sheep and I don’t mean the Chris Farley and David Spade movie from the 1990s, though I’m sure someone will see this one and get confused. This movie is actually yet another horror movie spoof, though this one was better received than a …
Wishmaster (1997)
This movie is the classic case of being careful what you wish for. I have always been telling my friends and family that very same quote year after year, time after time and it has never proven me wrong to date. Whether you are talking about real life situations …
Mononoke (anime)
Holy! mother of god! I’m so addicted to this.
If you want a unique kind of art, storyline and not the typical anime character better watch this one.
Its so nice to watch a different kind of anime especially with its graphic art, if I’m not mistaken its called nouveau art. …
Robocop 3 (1993)
The third installation of the Robocop saga continues with a new character playing Robocop, I guess that the original guy got totally fed up of the whole thing and decided that it was no longer in his best interest to continue playing the cyborg police officer. In this movie, …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently watched Pan’s Labyrinth. First I must say that I rarely enjoy movies that I have to read the subtitles. If I wanted to read something it would be a book or a magazine or even a website. There I can go at my own pace and read …
The Seven Samurai Movie
“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 …

Alvin And The Chipmunks
Alvin And The Chipmunks, the movie version is SUPER funny and SUPER awesome. I love the singing especially. Enjoyed the story super much. And come to think of it, the My Name Is Earl, Jason Lee’s performance is outshine by the lovely Chipmunks.
Let’s talk about the voice-over …
District 9 movie
District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.
District 9 is a section set aside for the insect-like aliens that also inhabit Earth. It’s basically a slum, …
Weekend at Bernie’s movie
My wife and I have been wanting to watch the movie Weekend at Bernie’s for a while now. We both saw it when we were younger but neither of us could remember much of what happened in the film and were interested to see if it was as good …
Musafir (movie), 2004
The movie Musafir released in 2004. I watched it at home on DVD. I did not like the movie much. The movie has been directed by Sanjay Gupta. The promos of the film were attractive enough to attract a lot of audiences to the cinema hall. But the movie …
Cinderella Man
This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …
Film Exodus
In 1960, a very dramatic and long film named Exodus was released. It’s intense and poignant as it tells the story of the founding of Israel. At the center is the Ben Canaan family. Lee J. Cobb is the elder Ben Canaan, a man who believes …
Mirrors movie
Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …
The Nude Bomb
I have never watched the show Get Smart; even though it has been on television in re-runs for decades. Yet, for some reason, when I saw the movie based on the series “The Nude Bomb,” I figured I would watch it.
I didn’t even get halfway through it before I …
Maid in Manhattan
The best way to describe the movie “Maid in Manhattan” is one of Jennifer Lopez highest grossing movie. The critics didn’t like it, but the general public simply loved it. Personally I wasn’t impressed by this romantic movie due to the fact that the story seems to be stretched …
I am Legend
Ok, considering I waited several weeks before I was able to find a copy of I am Legend at my local video store, I have to say I’m extremely disappointed in this movie. In fact, I’m absolutely glad I rented it rather than buy it.
When I see a movie …
The Evil Dead (1981)
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Hal Delrich, and Theresa Tilly.
Directed by: Sam Raimi.
Launching Sam Raimi’s career, The Evil Dead is a weird mixture of gore, horror, and comedy; not exactly in the same vein as something such as RoboCop, that’s an entirely different animal of a film. …
The Family, movie (2013)
Have you ever think what life is like for gangsters in the witness protection program? Movies have featured such characters more than once, but other than a bit of snippet at the end of Martin Scorsese’s cult film Goodfellas, I can’t think of any movies that could tell you more …

Up (2009) movie
I went and saw this with a friend (even though it’s a kids’ movie and we’re both adults) because we had heard a lot of good things about it. And Pixar usually puts out good movies, so it wasn’t like it was a risk or anything. The fact that …

Based on Katherine Paterson’s classic novel, this is the story of Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson), a boy who’s something of an outcast at school and at home (he is the only boy among four sisters). When a new girl moves in across the road, it’s initially bad news for …
