How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …
A Love Song For Bobby Long (R, 2004) movie
I really wanted to like this movie starring Scarlett Johansson. She’s a pretty good actress. And for her to be so young, she is really good at depicting different types of characters with great depth. This story surrounds the living situation Purslane Will (Johansson) she …
She’s the Man Movie
This movie is based very loosely on 12th Night by Shakespeare. I watched the actual movie 12th Night first so when I saw She’s the Man, I put it together that it was based on it. Basically this movie is about this pair of twins, a boy and a …
Men In Black II
The sequel to Men In Black suffers from the same disease that plagues most sequels, it fails to live up to the expectations that viewers had after the masterpiece of the first movie. One of the saving graces of this sequel is that the main characters come back, even …
To Kill a Mockingbird
I am reviewing the movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, which was made back in the 1960s. It starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, Mary Badham as Scout, and Phillip Alford as Jem. This movie remains to be my mother’s favorite and my favorite movie ever. There is just something …

Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …
The Color Purple by Steven Spielberg
I never thought that I would ever cry watching a movie. Nevertheless it happened when I see The Color Purple with Whoopie Goldberg and Danny Glover. The movie features a young black girl at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Slavery has long …
Vampire in Brooklyn Movie
When I saw that it was an Eddie Murphy movie, I expected good comedy, perhaps something like Mel Brooks’ “Dracula: Dead and Loving It” with Leslie Nielsen, a funny twist of a classic. Well, I was wrong. Apparently, the creators of “Vampire in Brooklyn” meant it to be for …
Movie Christina’s House
Christina’s House is the kind of movie that I shouldn’t like, but somehow I do. It’s the movie that I keep telling my friends to watch, even though they’ve seen it and hated it. I have to admit that the movie is pretty cheesy, but I still somehow find …
Indian Jones The Last crusade
Harrison Ford is a very good actor and he portrayed one of my favorite all time charachters Indiana Jones. I watched Indiana Jones the Last Crusade last night. In this movie Sean Connery played Indiana’s father and as always these movies are fast moving comical and interesting.

There will be blood
‘There will be blood’ is a good English movie. But it is also rather sad to watch this movie because the movie shows the exploitation of the lower class. Directed by Paul Thomas, the movie is a grim one. The main actor has performed well. It is not possible …
Cross Creek movie
“Cross Creek” proves that Hollywood movie makers don’t always have to spend millions of dollars to make good films. This movie is based on an autobiographical book by novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who is best known for writing “The Yearling.” I don’t usually like Mary Steenburgen, but …
Ice Age movie
It is a movie that shows a brilliant work of animation combined with fantabulous story line. I love this film and have seen it a number of times. But every time I liked it equally well. The prehistoric creatures have been shown to come so alive on screen that …
Serendipity
I think that the best way to describe the movie “Serendipity” is John Cusack’s success movie as an attempt to return to his origins. We can remember that in the being of his career Cusack was involved in the successful movie project “The Sure Thing”. “Serendipity” is Cusack’s version …
Carnage (1984) movie

Movie Hairspray
I watched the movie Hairspray this evening. This was the 2007 updated version. I have to admit that I did not really like the original movie. I did not expect too much from this version.

The Seventh Sign movie

The plot’s really simple: An ex-detective, Sutherland …

Movie: The Apple Dumpling Gang
I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a movie I have yet to see in its entirety; The Apple Dumpling Gang.

I am reviewing The Three Gables, a Sherlock Holmes episode on the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, produced by Granada in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes and Watson against ruffians who are hired by a cold feeling woman to steal this poor old woman’s grandson’s …
Solomon and Sheba movie

Serious Moonlight Movie (2009)
Serious Moonlight is a movie that aspired to be so much more than it actually ended up being. It had an amazing cast on board: Justin Long, Kirstin Bell, Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, and they have done a really good job. But the plot, starting the concept level …
Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors

Robocop (1987 movie)
Gracefully working its way unto the silver screen, then to VHS, eventually making its way to DVD…Robocop has affixed itself as one of the greatest movies of all time.
Whether you have seen it before all the way back in 1987 or whether you see it today, none can deny …
The grudge 2
If you have already seen the first one, you really don’t want to see this one. For Sarah Michelle Gellar’s fans out there, she died right at the beginning of the movie. Her sister (not from the first movie) replaces her. This sequel is so confusing. All you see …
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …

Rain in the Mountains (2007)
