My Week with Marilyn Monroe (movie)
I’ve been into quite a lot of action films especially lately so it’s easy to see how a movie like this would have escaped my attention at first. I’m not even going to call myself a gigantic Marilyn Monroe fan but the little I’ve heard of her and just …
Stargate SG-1 The First Commandment
The fifth episode of the first season of Stargate SG-1 was called “The First Commandment”. Frankly, it’s not a big favorite of mine, though it has some fun moments to it.
Basically, the episode is about an SG team leader gone bad. He starts believing he’s a god. …
Punky Brewster Season 3 DVD

Paprika (Animated Film)

Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel.

Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …
The Bourne Legacy movie
My husband and I finally watched “The Bourne Legacy” last night. I was so excited to watch this movie, as I am huge fan of the other “Bourne” movies. I am also a fan of Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton, so I had high hopes as we sat …

Today (30/08/13) I had went to watch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my best-friend at Hoyts Cinema, NZ. And boy was I glad I had paid $17 of my allowance to watch it! :D
The Movie in my opinion was a great watch. The characters they had to …

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)
I only rented this movie because I thought that the first one was fairly decent. Looking back, I realize that not only was the first one not as good as I’d imagined, there NEVER should have been a sequel. The whole concept behind this film …

Interview with a Vampire (Movie)
Interview with a vampire is my favorite vampire movie of all time. It shows a kind of vampire that I feel has been pushed to the wayside in this generation. I think this is mainly because vampires are either made to be really disgusting monsters (like in Dracula or …

Movie Hitman
Watching the DVD movie, Hitman really makes me yawn so much. Though it is based from a game from Playstation or something, it does nothing to me at all. It’s like watching Alias or just a B-Grade TV action drama series or something. I really felt it …
Jonny Gaddar Movie
Jonny Gaddar is a fast paced thriller which has been released recently in India. The story is about a gang of six people who want to do a 2.5 corres Rupees one out of them become traitor and accidentally kill one of his gang member while try to steal …
The Day the Earth Stopped movie
OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.
This movie was nothing more than a rip …
Cheers for Miss Bishop movie
Cheers for Miss Bishop is a classic film from 1941 which starred Martha Scott in the title role of Ella Bishop. My problem, and pretty much my only problem, is that while the makeup was good, it didn’t quite hook me. We see Scott transform from a …

After the success of Spiderman, Batman and Superman that literally took apart the box office in America and around the world in recent years, the director John Fevrau and his team decided to present the Marvel character of “Iron Man,” hoping that he will bring them similar success. Maybe …
Elizabethtown the movie
Orlando Bloom may be a great character actor and eye candy for women every where but, as a leading actor, he leaves a lot to be desired.
The movie Elizabethtown had great intentions and could have been a great love story. But, in my opinion, it fell flat. Kirsten Dunst …
Hairspray (movie)
I watched the movie Hairspray, the new movie and not the original, for kicks and grins. Was I disappointed! I suppose that I should have taken my own cues that I was not too impressed with the first version of Hairspray! Anyway, if you want to listen to pop …

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …
Dragon Wars DVD
Dragon Wars is a movie that will be a hit with the pre teen, teen set and the parents who still love fantasy. It is rated PG 13 and definitely not for the younger viewers. The dragons get very nasty, as dragons will. It will be released …

King Arthur (2004)
This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …
Beauty and The Beast
The “Beauty and The Beast” I am reviewing is the TV series that ran in 1987-1990, not the Disney animation. Those who have watched the series know that it has nothing to do with the classic fairytale: the story is set in modern day New York. Catherine, a beautiful …
Happy days, telugu movie

The Mist by Stephen King (R, 2007)

Sunshine (DVD)
This is without doubt one of the most horrible movies I’ve ever seen! It is truly awful and as I watched it, it grew worst and worst.
The way they filmed it is just ghastly. There are many scenes in this movie where odd colored bands cover part of …

Toy Story 3 (2011 Film)
Who hasn’t fallen in love with those loveable toys in Andy’s room that came to life and embarked on various adventures? Yes, I am talking about Toy Story, but not just any Toy Story, I’m talking about “Toy Story 3″. At first, I felt this film may not do …
The Eleventh Hour Environment Movie
While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …

The Forbidden Kingdom
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, …
The Emperor’s Club movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Emperor’s Club, which is a movie that is about three years old or so. I am a huge fan of movies that center around professors in an academic setting. I have always had a passion for teaching, but do not think I …

The experimental japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara came out with this interesting study of human sacrifice in the year of 1965. It is about a man who’s face has been entirely burnt off in an accident. People treat him like some sort of monster and can’t really see what’s behind …
