The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …
Happy Feet
First of all: I LOVE penguins! I don’t know why, but they seem to be such happy little creatures, wherever you see them in movies, toy- shops and tv-commercials… but then, after seeing the documentary “March of the Penguins” (see separate review), I know there are not that happy …
Religulous (Documentary)
Religulous is a documentary by Larry Charles which features Bill Maher which basically focuses on mocking religious belief, although I will stress now that it primarily only focuses on the Western religions, extremely little to no attention at all is given on the other Wisdom Traditions. I personally find …
Michael Clayton movie
The best words to describe the movie “Michael Clayton” is a deep drama movie that will make you bite your nails till the last minute. The true assets of this movie are the main actors, George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton. Sadly only Tilda Swinton won an Oscar …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …
Reeker
Reeker is darn scary. You should rent this and watch; it is awesomely scary and something that I would truly opt for if you want to watch in a group, say on a scary Friday night with the weekend in tow and nothing to do.
The plot goes …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …

Clash of the Titans movie

You Changed My Life movie
It was Wednesday night, on the second week of the movie. I would have expected the cinema to be empty. But no, it was jam-packed a clear sign that the movie was a hit.

Joe’s Apartment movie
When I first saw this show being aired on cable television, it was when I had come home one Friday from high school and was flipping through the channels for something fairly decent to watch. It was that time when I saw a scene with singing cockroaches and a …

Sergeantt York Movie
Gary Cooper plays a farmer who against his will is sent to take part in World War I. While there he becomes a war hero, despite his former pacifism sympathies.
This is one of the clearest examples of pure american propaganda. The whole point of the film is to proclaim …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
Memento movie
The beginning of Memento did little to impress me. It was confusing and I was concerned from the start that it just wasn’t going to be my kind of movie. The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard, who is suffering from short-term memory loss and is after …
Knocked Up The Movie
I was fortunate enough to be able to see this movie in the theatres and I loved it. I don’t agree with the message it sends to its viewers but I found it funny and entertaining just the same. And here’s why you should watch Knocked Up.
Knocked …
A night in the museum

The Kingdom (Movie)

Movie: Shutter Island

Wrestling With Shadows
Wrestling With Shadows directed by Paul Jay is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen, at first glance you assume the movie is a simple production which follows a wrestler on a day to day basis and chronicles his trouble. However, after watching the movie you …

A modern remake of a classic horror where it tells the story of a boy who bears the mark of the devil and who has come to claim the world as his own once he comes of age. For ages the coming was foretold and no one could stop …
Breaking the waves movie
The danish director Lars von Trier has been hailed as a master of cinema and won many prizes on the Cannes film festival the last 15 years. To me he is a very overrated filmmaker who never really managed to develop his own cinematic expression that couldn’t be mistaken …
The Divergent Series: Insurgent (science fiction adventure movie)
After enjoying the first movie in the Divergent franchise, I was happy to know that there would actually be a sequel. I expected that it might be a lot better than even the first one especially since it would probably have more action and fight scenes. I was also interested …

Wedding Crashers (2005 Movie)
This is one of those cute, quirky movies where you know there will be a couple of cheap laughs and a sappy, happy ending. It didn’t disappoint me. I actually found that it was better than I expected it to be - the characters were a bit more real …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alvin and the chipmunks was the cutest movie for the whole family to see. If your looking for a really good family movie this is it. It has a great plot and very useful meaning. It was very amusing and had situations that even smaller kids could understand. It …
Franklyn, British film by Gerald McMorrow
The question I asked myself while watching Franklyn on blu-ray was how do these four stories come together? The back of the case suggests that it all comes together at some point but I am not seeing it. Does Franklyn have bull shit written all over it or is …
Hope Floats
I admit that I generally enjoy watching Sandra Bullock’s movie; however “Hope Floats” failed to impress me. I feel that there is something missing script wise which failed to make a good movie. I also believe that “Hope Floats” was another Bullock attempt to make a romantic movie tackling a …
Broadcast News movie (1987)

Broadcast News tells the tale of three industrious players in the television news business: Jane (Hunter), the driven, nose-to-the-grindstone news producer; Aaron (Brooks), the hands-on, genius field reporter, whom Jane has worked closely with for many years; Tom (Hurt), the handsome but …
Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)
With the over abundance of vampire movies and television shows out and coming out it only makes sense that someone would come out with a spoof of these entertaining videos, but isn’t a spoof supposed to be funny? Sure, “Vampires Suck” has some funny points, maybe about three of …

Saw 3
Saw 3 is a horror movie. There is a two movies before this: Saw and Saw 2. All of them are unpredictable when it’s going to end.

The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …
Movie Independence Day (1996)
Independence Day is one of my all-time favorite films. Some of my favorite actors are in this movie, including Jeff Goldblum - who, as usual, plays a highly intelligent guy with answers to very important questions - and Will Smith who adds an incredible amount of action to the …
