Movie The Ugly Truth
I had heard a lot of talk about the movie The Ugly Truth. Mainly, Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl were said to have a lot of on-screen chemistry. Still, it was supposed to be a chick flick, with a bit of an edge, and I would say that the …
Movie Yes Man
Today I saw the newest Jim Carrey movie, Yes Man at the cinema. Like the other Jim Carrey’s movie, it’s a drama comedy movie that can make me laugh and entertein me.

The movie Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian movie (2008)
The second installment to the Chronicles of Narnia films, Prince Caspian has become my favorite of the three movies released so far. The world of Narnia has progressed almost a thousand years into the future since the Pevensie children have returned to England. Telmarines have conquered Narnia, …
Scoop movie
Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …
Hope Floats movie
One of my all time favorite movies is “Hope Floats”. It is a true romance. Birdee Pruit, played by Sandra Bullock, finds out on National Television that her husband, Bill, cheated on her with her best friend. So Birdee packs up and moves from Chicago …

Greater Union Cinemas at George Street, Sydney
If you’re new from Sydney and looking for a cinema to watch a movie, then you better stop by Greater Union. I’ve been here since January 2009 and I’m having a great time. I love movies, and the first thing I asked my wife was the cinemas here. She …
Hannah Montana: The movie
As embarrassed as I am to admit I actually watched this movie, I have to say that it was not as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, when I first heard that there would be a movie for that silly show that many of my younger …
Go movie
I didn’t hear about the movie “Go” until some time ago when I was still in high school. At first I thought it was just going to be a silly movie so I didn;t watch it at the time, but about a year and a half later I was …
Waking Life (R, 2002)
This movie really seemed strange when I first read about it on Netflix. But then a friend rented it and I was so excited about the animation, and how the conversations just flowed from scene to scene. I would advise most people to refrain from engaging …
“The Swimmer” movie
“The Swimmer” is a 1968 movie starring Burt Lancaster as the swimmer, Ned Merrill. Ned hasn’t been around recently though when the movie starts it isn’t clear where he’s been. However Ned doesn’t quite seem to be “quite right.” Ned appears unannounced at a friends house to swim in …
Mirrors
Mirrors looked like scary and it is actually, in certain areas of the movie story. I watched it alone actually and Kiefer Sutherland played the lead. This movie is actually a remake of a Korean movie actually, having the title Mirrors too.
What is the story about actually..? …
Nanny McPhee
Nanny McPhee starring Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, and a bunch of talented kid actors, was refreshing and entertaining to watch. Firth plays Cedric Brown, a father of seven and a widower who needs to find a wife - urgent! - or his austere Aunt Adelaide will withdraw her financial …

The Undefeated documentary
The Undefeated is a documentary about Sarah Palin. Some persons think of this documentary kind of like an event or production where you sit and watch it out of general politeness. Some have been even as bold as to describe it as a really, long, …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …
License to Kill movie
To begin with, this film may have the best theme song of a Bond movie ever, and that doesn’t say a little. I think Timothy Dalton gives another convincing performance here, but yet he only received harsh criticism for this. I know what the problem is, and Dalton’s got …
Marley & Me (2008) Movie
I liked the movie, ‘Marley & Me’ because it’s the story of a family that learns lessons important for life from their naughty and obsessed dog. Although I found the movie to be very beautiful and quite heart warming, there were scenes that were sensitive and touching too. The …
Night at the museum
I went and saw this in the pictures. I have to say I was quite pleased. Everyone was going on about it and I thought it’s going to be really boring and stupid but I was wrong. I will admit it was not as funny as it could have …

The Skulls movie
I think The Skulls was a pretty good movie. The movie is about a secret society called The Skulls. I guess they are trying to portray and real life secret society called Skull and Bones. I think the movie was very well done. It shows both the good and dark …

The Incredible Hulk (2008 version)
“The Incredible Hulk” is a great movie but unfortunately it was released during the same period as another great blockbuster “Iron Man” and so member of the general public tend to do comparisims. Although “The Incredible Hulk” has got all the right ingredients for a …
The Elephant Man
If you are not familiar with the story of Joseph (John) Merrick, known as The Elephant Man, this movie will come as a shock. Based on a true story of a man with severe physical deformities, it is often painful to watch. John Hurt plays the unfortunate Merrick. Heavy …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …

He’s Just Not that Into You is a romance movie about love from Sex in The City book. You’ll get to see famous actors like Justin Long, Drew Barrymore, Kevin Connolly, Jenifer Aniston,Ginnifer Goodwin and Ben Affleck.

Stranger than Fiction
When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.
Stranger than Fiction isn’t a bad movie, in fact it was pretty good. But, it definitely wasn’t as funny as …

Hollow Man
There’s something I don’t understand about this movie. Not with the story and plot but on how the character has of the young scientist Sebastian Caine (played by Kevin Bacon) has changed from a nice guy in the beginning of the movie into a cold blooded killer of …
Drew Peterson: Untouchable, movie
I have to admit, that I don’t like a lot of Lifetime dramas since I believe that a lot of them are just plain mediocre when it comes to the acting, the plot and the overall way in which the entire thing was put together. There are even some …
Stone 2010 movie
One of those things that made this movie enjoyable was that you watch a man who finds its inner equilibrium. The irony is that he does not know how. At one point, Stone says, “Told you, I could not Explain It”, speaking of the total change he experienced. Indeed, …
The Ole Anderson Highspots Shoot Interview DVD
Shoot Interview - When wrestlers speak out of character on the record about their career.
Recently, RF Video has released an uncut interview with professional wrestling legend Ole Anderson. However, a few years ago the company Highspots released the first in depth interview with Anderson and that is the subject …
You don’t mess with the Zohan
I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is its a little less funnier than previous Adam Sandler movies. Yes it has its funny moments but there are also a lot of boring and corny parts. The main story is about …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
300 (movie)
This was definitely a man’s movie. Rocky with a sword times three hundred. It was over the top, overflowing with testosterone both in the battlefield and at home. It reminded me a lot of Gladiator, with just a darker feel to it. The way it was filmed was very …
Meet the Parents, movie
Ben Stiller brings this familiar romp to life along with a strong supporting caste including Robert De Niro. I Thought this film captured some of the better elements that occur when meeting a fiancée’s in-laws for the first time, and it brought something different to a genre where I …
Bulletproof Monk
Bulletproof Monk with Seann William Scott, Chon Yun-Fat, and Jaime King.
I have seen Chow Yun-Fat in Chinese Martial Arts movies before and enjoy the peaceful smile that he exhibits while kicking butt of the bad guys. Scott, on the other hand, was an obnoxious jerk …
Chasm-e-badoor
This is yet another masterpiece, directed by Sai Paranjpe. Chasme-e-badoor (meaning ‘angelic beauty’) is a light romantic comedy made in the early 80s.

Knocked Up film
Judd Apatow brings us his sophomore directorial effort Knocked Up, another comedy in the same spirit as his first film, The 40 Year Old Virgin, which starred Steve Carrell of NBC’s The Office.
This fish-out-of-water story features Seth Rogen as Ben Stone, an immature guy who does nothing but smoke …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …
Shrek
I don’t know if it was Toy Story or Shrek that ushered in the age of the animated feature. I know Toy Story came first, but it seems to me that Toy Story showed filmmakers what was possible in the new age of computer animation. The people behind Shrek …
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Mix the acting ability of Martin Lawrence with another great comedy actor Danny DeVito and you get a great comedy that will make you laugh non-stop. What I really enjoyed about “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” is the two main actors’ ability in bringing out the best possible …
The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Horton Hears A Who
I had seen previews for Horton Hears a Who. I was really excited for it to come to the theaters. I have a six year old daughter. It is always a fun treat when we can go see a movie together as a family. I …
MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …
