Chinese cinema owes a lot to Ang Lee’s breakthrough masterpiece at the Academy Awards. Not only is the first Asian film to gain mass popularity, acclaim and high prestige awards, it was followed by a whole stream of wuxia films that is still running and to be honest none …

It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a hoot and a half! It’s one of the best family films ever. I saw it numerous times in the theater as a child, have viewed it many times on TV, and finally purchased the DVD, which I watch repeatedly. It’s …

I felt a little silly when I first began to read the harry Potter books. These are books for children I told myself so why did I find it so entertaining. I’ve read other books for children since I became an adult of course, but those had already moved …

I enjoyed watching Billy Elliot. This was a couple of years back but I watched it again recently, since my cousin has a copy of it. I came across it at her house the other day and thought of watching it again. A very moving, sweeping and …

I must have seen this movie advertise only once or twice before it hit theaters. In fact, in the few times I saw it advertise, I was almost completely sure that the movie would be just another mediocre suspense which Hollywood tried to shove on the average movie goer. …

I actually did not hear of the movie “The Return” until recently and when I heard that it was actually a thriller that had originated out of Russia, my curiosity was piqued even further. When I watched it I also could not help but think that it was actually …

“The House Bunny” came from the same writers that created “Legally Blonde”; while “Bunny” is definitely not the instant classic that “Legally Blonde” was, it’s a cute movie of its own right.

Oh, how I wanted to like this movie! It’s got an impressive cast, including Simon Pegg, Kristin Wiig, Jane Lynch, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, even a cameo by Steven Spielberg! Casting Seth Rogen as the wise-cracking alien wasn’t my problem though. I felt that this was …

I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …

I didn’t want to watch Desperado. I resisted for a lon gtime, but finally and reluctantly, I had to give in and watch at least one action movie, and I picked this one. Thankfully so.

How would I don’t give perfect ten for a Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s movie? I must be cursed. This is a story about a West-boy who gets addicted with Chinese culture especially the Kung-Fu technique. He even spent all of his life watching all Bruce Lee’s films. Well, …

Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …

I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …

With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …

If Alfred Hitchcock or Wes Craven had made the movie “Mary Poppins” the result would have been “Keeping Mum.” Maggie Smith star of dozens of movies plays Mum. She takes a job helping Gloria Goodfellow (played by Kristen Scott Thomas of “The English Patient” fame), the wife of the …

I had high expectations when I rented Sherlock Holmes on DVD the other day, mainly because of my high regard for Robert Downey Jr.’s amazing acting skills and his recent choice of movies to star in. I also like Guy Ritchie’s movies, so when we sat down to watch …

I kept reading some good reviews about the movie “Malevolence” but when I got to watch it I was very disappointed. It is one of those horror movies where the plot only sounds very good on paper. I thought that the rating should have been average at the very least …

I love watching Paris Je T’aime so much that I have watched it for over 2 times. This is a special case movie, and it features about 20 directors to create a 5 minute film about Paris. That is great, I get to see 20 different stories …

Because we had rented the first Ghoulies movie this weekend, my wife and I decided we should watch the second one too. And, we did, despite the fact we hated the first movie.
The sequel is surprisingly better than the first one. But, that really shouldn’t be saying much because …

Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …

My daughter loves Dr. Seuss books so I recently picked her up a movie based off of one of them “The Lorax.” And, I have to say, despite the fact it was obviously filmed years ago, it was still quite a good movie.
If you haven’t seen the movie or …

Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …

I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story, which came out in 2006. This movie starred Keisha Castle-Hughes as Mary, and Oscar Isaac as Joseph. The movie told the story of Mary’s life, and the birth of Jesus. I really liked this movie, but there were some things …

I watched “Little Black Book” because I read the story of the film and thought that it was a good movie, however it ended up not to deliver what was expected. The script could have been improved much more in order to let the actresses, Brittany Murphy and Holly …

We went to Washington DC last night to see a sneak preview of the new movie coming out called 10,000 B.C. It was nothing like what I thought it would be. The concept of the movie was that there was this village of hunters living in the mountains, …

This film is a thing of beauty, a joy forever.
If you are familiar with the poetry and life of Keats I guarantee you will love this film. Quotations from Keats letters, and from his poems are cleverly interwoven into the script, never seeming forced, cliched or trite - but …

With great power comes great responsibility. With great movies comes greater ones. This is how I feel about the first Spiderman. I believe this movie moved the caliber of comic book-to-movie projects up a notch.
This movie showed that we can have great comic book movies with great characters and …

I only hear about the movie “Gorgeous” recently. It is not to be confused with the American film “Drop Dead Gorgeous” though as this one was actually a Chinese Romance Comedy film that was released in the late nineties starring Jackie Chan. However, that does not mean that it …
