Non-Stop (movie)
I was looking forward to seeing the movie “Non-Stop” since February when it was in theatres since it had Liam Neeson, one of my favourite actors as a main character in it, and because the trailer that I had seen for it made the movie look interesting. I ended …

Hills Have Eyes 2, The (2007)
The Hills Have Eyes is a sequel to the first. I felt the first was a pretty good movie, and I felt the same about this one, because it continued the storyline from the first, explaining the reason for the mutants attacks on everyone.
These “mutants” have been a victim …
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.
In …

Bedazzled
I watched Bedazzled the movie on TV when my local channel broadcast them not so long ago.
If I’m correct, the movie was during the year 2000 and I did not manage to watch it at the cinema. Instead, I caught it on TV and it was surprisingly …
Dancer in the Dark (2000)
This movie rocks my world everytime I warch it. Rocks my world, meaning that it plays with my feelings so easily, this movie absorbs me completely. It’s about pure emotion and empathy, presented in the most heartfelt way ever: a mother’s love for her son. The story is set …
Movie “Case 39″ (2009)
I do not particularly like or have anything against Rene Zellweger. This movie was ok. I liked the plot but some of it was cheesy and too campy for my taste and I like horror and campy movies. The plot is cool in this film. …
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)
Deuce was a simple guy with a simple job; he went to work to clean the pool and the fish tanks and was very good at what he does. But all that changed the day he went to the home of a gigolo to clean his fish tank, which …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …

Brooklyn (2015 Film)
Brooklyn is one of my most anticipated films of 2015. Particularly because of the huge buzz it made when it premiered in this year’s Sundance Festival and every audience and critics who attended loved it very much!
Brooklyn is a straightforward storytelling of a small town Irish-girl trying to improve her …
The Fugitive thriller
The Fugitive is one of the best thrillers films I’ve seen. Never have I sat through the whole film without taking bathroom breaks or even a quick trip to the fridge. Here, Harrison Ford played Dr. Richard Kimble, a prominent doctor convicted of murdering his wife. He is co-starred …
Movie 1408
1408 a great horror movie.
Based on Stephen King’s novel ‘1408′ is a disturbing and really terrifying horror, which besides sheer thrills might give you the reason to stop for a while and think about what’s really important in your life. The number in the tittle refers to …
Shutter (UR, 2008)
I had rented the Thai version of this film and was really disappointed with how shallow the American remake was. First of all, Joshua Jackson (of “Dawson’s Creek”, “Skulls”) is the lead character. I was not even aware of who his co-star is. …
Rachel Getting Married movie
The entire movie felt like an indie film from start to finish. The script was refreshing, the cinematography was very basic yet effective and the cast was not that famous but still lived up to their roles. I never liked Anne Hathaway and her character as Kym only solidified …

In 1989, five teenagers of color and diversity including African-Americans and members of the Latin-American community were taken to jail and incarcerated due to a crime of malicious assault which happened to a twenty-eight year old Anglo Caucasian woman.

Mutilation Ball
To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …
Movie The Aviator
The Aviator is an extremely long movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio. In the film he portrays Howard Hughes, and although I normally do not like super long movies, this one is kinda good. I will state a fact, Leonardo Dicarprio can not consider me a fan of his work. I don’t …
Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …
Apt Pupil (movie)
Based on a novel written by Stephen King, the film is about the disturbing relationship between a man and a boy, characters who share a terrifying secret.
As the plot unfolds, young Todd Bowden, an intuitive student, pays rapt attention to class discussions about the holocaust. This appears to heighten …

Clay, above …
Movie Orphan
I really feel like wanting to smack right out of this kid, Esther. The movie is not in a horror genre but more to gory. Orphan the movie, is unexpected and you will be surprised at the revelation. I’m not going to tell you what it is …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …
Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora. Throw in Jack Nicholson as Aurora’s womanizing, astronaut neighbor, and you have the perfect movie. The opening scene shows Emma still at home, …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is a feel good movie that never fails to bring on smiles and feelings of delight. It’s the theatrical movie that set Patrick Swayze’s stardom on fire and gave us the line, “No one puts Baby in a corner”.
Frankly, I’ve never liked that line and I …
Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …

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 …
Bloodrayne
Bloodrayne is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time and considering how many movies I watch a year, that’s saying a lot. The only reason I watched the movie is because it had Billy Zane in it and I’ve been a fan of his since …
Secrets of an Actress movie
I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …

Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …
Deck The Halls
This movie was a fun Christmas movie I really enjoyed myself.
I love family oriented movies you can see with your children.
this movie shows how a father wants things to be perfect for him and his family at Christmas.
When it all starts to go sour so to speak when his …
Grease movie
I watched the movie “Grease” with my daughter this afternoon on DVD.
“Grease” is pretty much a classic musical which stars Olivia Newton John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny Zuko. This movie was made in 1977. This movie is based on the play but I do think the …
Wedding Daze - (starring Jason Biggs)
I certainly think that Jason Biggs is such a cutie and Isla Fisher in this movie story, Wedding Daze are such a cute couple. I can’t possibly imagine anyone that would marry in such a hurry and that is really something that no one in their right mind would …

Film Some Kind of Wonderful
Viewed by many as a gender switched redo of John Hughes and Howard Deutch previous collaboration Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful is so much more than this and it is a kind of unfair label.
The stories and characters are much different. Whereas, Pretty in Pink focused on …
Take the Lead movie
I didn’t know that Antonio Banderas can dance and ballroom dancing for that matter. When I saw his movie, Take the Lead, I was pretty impressed with the talent he has showed off in the movie. He has a great body and it looks so right with those sexy …

Yeh Hai Jalwa (movie), 2002
Yeh Hai Jalwa, a stupid movie indeed but nice to watch at home. This film released in 2002. I watched it at home on TV. The director of the film is David Dhawan. As it is David Dhawan film it has to be stupid but mindlessly entertaining too. The …
