Recently I have found it to be more challenging to find suspense and thriller movies that I genuinely love that are set in some form of real life situations. What I ended up doing recently since I felt the urge to watch one was read a blog entry which …

I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …

Isn’t it good to go to a movie and see intelligent, peacefull and interesting films? But there is nothing of this that I found at Lord of The Rings 3. There are so much violence in the scenes, so much strange anoyng creatures, like the Orcs, creatures that are …

I went to see The Last House on the Left this week with one of my good friends. We were in the mood to see a scary movie, and this was pretty much the only one out. I hadn’t seen a preview for it (that I remembered) so I …

What would you do if you were a film director and wanted to find a good actor to interpret a street vendor? You choose an ex-black market salesman and ask him to act in a movie. If this is not the answer you would have said, at least this …

‘The pursuit of happiness’ is a movie which is directed by Gabriele Muccino. The main actors are Will Smith, Thandie Newton and Christopher Smith. All these actors have performed well. There is no flaw in their performance.

This movie is taken from a popular video game and made into a live action movie and strange enough as it may be, it made the transition into real life without a hitch or a glitch in the system. People loved it and they love the lead character played …

From 2009, it’s Robert Downey Jr. starring in Sherlock Holmes and playing the well-known sleuth. Here are a few of my observations.
–The best thing about the movie is the music. It’s powerful and dramatic. It highlights all of the happenings very well. It makes you …

The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …

“Shirley Valentine” is a 1989 color movie in English. It was filmed in locations in England and Mykonos, Greece. It is the story of a Liverpudlian woman’s midlife crisis who decides to do something about her life despite the fact that “no one thought she had the courage. The …

Open Water was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. When I first started the movie, I thought, “Oh, well maybe this is one of those movies that has a good storyline, but just a low budget”. But, I guess I was wrong. It …

Rhythm in the Clouds from 1937 just did nothing for me in spite of the fact that on the surface it had a story that might normally intrigue me. To be honest, I am not certain why that lure did not happen.
Rhythm in the Clouds starred Patricia Ellis …

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was better than the first two movies, in my opinion. Granted, I haven’t seen the other two in a while now, so my opinion could change if I watched the first two movies again. I watched Ice Age 3 in 3D, but …

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Bubble Boy. But, after seeing it today, I can remember why I loved it so much.
What is better than a tale about a boy who is forced to live his life in a bubble because he doesn’t have an immune …

Of the few titles that emerged from the oscar nominations, I highly favor “The King’s Speech.” It is my favorite. I’ve been watching movies in my free time, and it gave me a timely opportunity to watch the movies nominated at the academy awards. The King’s …

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 …

The Pianist is a true spectacular, bona fide and triumphantly made movie which was based on the true-life story of a brilliant pianist and composer, Wladyslaw Spzilman, which was portrayed perfectly by Oscar winner, Adrian Brody.
I fell inlove with the movie the instant its first short part of black …

I wasn’t prepared to like Julie and Julia when I rented it on DVD; although I enjoy Nora Ephron’s writing, whether it is books or screenplays, I just didn’t think a movie about the famed cook Julia Child would be that interesting. Despite the fact that she remains one of …

Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …

I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …

“The Sleuth” is one excellent movie starring Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine. Unfortunately, the movie is rather hard to find, libraries and rental places don’t seem to have it. It is available at Amazon, so if you want to see it you’ll have to buy the DVD - which …

I watched Bridge to Terabithia ready to get bored and be repulsed with the little knowledge I have about the film. Thanks to false advertising (equivalent to the preview showing the CGI effects), my impression on the film beforehand was that it was going to be another-kiddy-fantasy knock-off.
Still, I …

I haven’t watched the unedited version (as in, actual movie not one edited for TV) of Police Academy in years. But, after watching it again last weekend, I have to say I now realize just how good it was.
Other movies have tried to put together an insane group of …

I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …

For the second time, I watched Jacky Chan’s and Jet Li’s movie The Forbidden Kingdom on my way home from a TV and DVD showing on my bus ride. Due to the traffic, I kind of watched the whole movie again and I never thought I will be enjoying …

Directed by Herman Hoffman, The Battle of Gettysburg was a movie short from 1955 that took viewers through the bulk of this long battle between the North and South in the Civil War.
Shows like this feel me with awe, and sometimes I cry just because the emotion of it …

One thing that really impresses me about Anthony Hopkins is how he can play a criminal mastermind and yet play it to the point you actually have to be impressed with him.
In the movie Fracture, he plays a man who shoots his wife, is captured minutes later and confesses. …

I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …

It is an entertaining film based on the concept of time traveling. This concept has always thrilled me and I was curious to know about it. The first half of the movie is pretty enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. I am not a die hard fan of science …

This movie got a really bad rap. I think that M. Night Shyamalan makes some really great films. I knew that this movie would not be “scary” because of the things that were said before it was released. But what people have to understand about this …

The Just My Luck DVD ended up in my collection simply because I had seen the leading lady (Lindsay Lohan) in the Herbie Fully Loaded movie and I liked her style so wanted to see what she was like in something totally different.
Just My Luck is the story of …

Anyone who knows themselves to the best of their knowledge is supposed to know the TV series called fat Albert. This series has been on the TV for so many years it is hard to not know it even if you did not want to. The only sad thing …

Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …

I was not familiar with Wanted. So when I and a friend of mine decided to watch it, I really had nothing to expect (except for a very hot Angelina Jolie, which is very obvious on the DVD cover).
The moment the movie started, I was instantly hooked. James McAvoy, …
