Recently, I watched the 2009 remake of the innovative film, Fame, which spawned a hit TV series. I wasn’t sure how I’d react to it. I liked the original movie, and I adored the series, so this movie had a lot to live up to.
The first thing …

I don’t go to a lot of movies in the theatre, but I thought this one might be fun. It’s based on the book of the same name, and you can see this in the small vignettes in between scenes of the movie - occasionally you leave the action …

I am not a big Terminator fan because I always consider that a pretty superficial trilogy of movies but this one really surprised me. Actually when I saw Christian Bale was playing John Connor I immediately knew this film is going to be better than any other Terminator before …

Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …

I absolutely LOVE Elf! This movie is hilarious and Will Ferrel is at his best! The characters are great, the acting is great and the storyline is hilarious. I don’t know anyone who has seen this movie and not fallen in love with it. It is definitely a Christmas …

I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …

The first time I ever watched this movie I did so rather tongue-in-cheek - simply because my mother had recommended it and my mother and I do not have the same taste in movies! So to say that I was pleasantly surprised is a bit of an understatement.
The story …

Taken is one of the best movies that I saw last year, and certainly one of my favourites of the thriller genre.
The plot of a kidnapping or of a heroic dad rescuing his daughter is nothing new, but the script really makes it into something special.
I thought that the …

This is one of the classic Christopher Lee movies, and personally, I think that most people I’ve met who are still interested in some of these classic horror and suspense films either like this movie or hate it. Personally, I appreciated this movie, since I didn’t think that it …

The classic story by Jules Verne about a an english adventurer who takes a bet of him travelling around all the world in as little as 80 days (which was very, very little once). This version of the story has been hailed as the best one, but I can’t …

I have seen Grease over ten times. It’s one of those movies. the ones you can watch over and over and it still feels fresh and new. The story lien is that a good girl from Australia Sandy falls for American bad boy Danny. It’s …

“She’s the Man” is the movie that confirms what a great actress, Amanda Bynes is. In this movie, we see her interpret the role of a boy most of the time. On a personal level, this movie was a great success for the actor, Channing Tatum because he managed …

The movie Ajnabi was released in 2001. It is a thriller film. I watched this film at theater. The movie is directed by Abbas and Mustan who are famous for directing many good and original thrillers. But this one is a copy of a Hollywood film named Consenting Adults. …

I just watched Slumdog Millionaire, it was my first time seeing it. It was a blu-ray rental and I have to say it is a movie that is superb and deserved all of the Golden Globes, Oscars and Bafta awards that it won.
The movie follows a young boy …

I thought that I’d watched all the movies with Anna Paquin in it until I saw another one recently on cable television. It was a horror movie named “Darkness”, which I noticed didn’t have a very good rating on neither the cable television guide nor IMDB. Nevertheless, sometimes I …

Once again Nicole Kidman has shown what a valuable asset she is to hollywood. Her performance in bewitched is spell binding and applaudable. Her karisma leaves as all bedazzled! Bewitched is definitely one of her finest work along with funny man and co-star Will Farrell. Will has shown off …

I’m a big fan of Superman, as such I was looking forward to seeing this. I was worried at first as the production was rushed, but they got a great cast together and had a solid team behind the camera. The trailers themselves also did a good …

It’s true that lately I have not seen any comedy or animated films, at least not as I would have liked.
Animation films offer yet unexplored possibilities, mixed genres, the revolution of the main characters, change scenery.
So even if we fundamentally look at about the same kinds of movies, some …

The 1989 movie entitled, “She Devil” was not only one that I think many people can relate, but was a fun and entertaining movie that made me laugh out loud countless number of times. This is a movie that was made quite some time ago, so I realize that …

The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …

This movie was a sequel to the 2003 comedy classic “Bruce Almighty”, but it did absolutely no justice to “Bruce”. “Evan Almighty” was sheer disappointment from start to finish.
The usually hilarious Steve Carell returns as Evan Baxter, his character from the first movie. In this film, he has just …

I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …

Clueless, a hit movie about teenagers more than a decade ago, was one of my favorite movies as a teenager. This movie was shown at a perfect timing for me as a teenager myself during the 90’s. Its main character, Cher, played by Alicia Siverstone, could be a good …

“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …

I just watched the movie Bedtime Stories with my boyfriend. This movie was such a great funny family movie. This movie had Adam Sandler in it, which made it very watchable. It was about a janitor named Skeeter that could not move up in …

I recently sat down and watched fooly cooly. Although i did not understand most of it because of its comically vague story line. The anime has a high level of animation quality and an awesome soundtrack that fits perfectly to the action of the series. Although Watching once you …

I’m only a moderate fan of James Bond movies, so perhaps you should take my review with a grain of salt. Still, I like most adventure movies, and love movies in general, so I decided to check out the newest James Bond.
Man, was I confused! I mean, I like …

My family loved the first Pink Panther movie starring Steve Martin (I actually enjoyed the originals too) so we couldn’t wait to see the sequel last night. In fact, it was in our DVD player 5 minutes after I got home from work.
It was an OK movie but it …

This movie was the most-anticipated summer movie of the year, and people weren’t disappointed! It features new characters such as The Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. I personally think Scarlett played a major role here and it …

Before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter kept saying she wanted Hannah Montana tickets. Well, that was something that wasn’t going to happen, so I thought. There were no concerts coming to our area and even if there were, I heard tickets were almost impossible to get. …

Before we start, I should probably give some background on my stance regarding the franchise as a whole. That way you can know where I’m coming from when discussing the movie as a whole. I did finally decide to check the show out on Netflix a while back. …

I like Drew Barrymore, she has such a vitality that it just bursts off the screen. I saw a movie on TV the other night that she starred in. It was called Never Been Kissed.
