As a very vocal fan of director Christopher Nolan, I kept on looking for films that were similar to his visual style and storytelling. Over the past weeks I’ve encountered David Fincher masterpieces that I could definitely say inspired some of Nolan’s features, and this week someone recommended me a …

In this movie, it shows a down on his luck pimp DJay (Terrence Howard), trying the rap game. He’s a hustler trying to make that money, trying to make it big, trying to have a taste of the rich life by switching it up. After putting his voice on …

Great actors like Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda and Roy Sheider lifts this mediocre story to an interesting and intense …

I just saw Jonah Hex, and my exact thoughts of seeing the movie: “what the?” Jonah Hex is one of those movies where almost all things predictable culminates. The story is about (guess who?) Jonah Hex, a soldier accused of betraying his regimen and killing Jeb Turnbull, his best …

I watched ‘The Golden Compass’ last night the movie felt rather long, and I was entertained from the start, I was a bit thrown off by all the children in the movie, but it was an enjoyable film, I would say its “Family safe” just a bit of rude humor, …

“Artemisia” is the 1997 Miramax biopic of Artemisia Gentileschi, a seventeenth century Italian woman painter when women were not and were not allowed to be artists. Artemisia is played by Italian actor Valentina Cervi who was unknown to me before watching the movie. She plays a young, intense woman …

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 …

I feel that V for Vendetta is a very good film that is based on what I feel is an excellent topic.
The storyline of government rebellion is something that I’ve always been interested in, so a film like this was great for someone like me.
One of the things I …

The movie “Last Holiday” (2006) helped me to see Queen Latifah in a new way. It is a good story, and she fits right into it, delivering a funny and at the same time touching performance. She plays Georgia, a middle class woman who has a list of things …

For those of you going through a midlife crisis (like me), you can easily identify with Eat Pray Love. It stars Julia Roberts, who after going through some difficult times, travels to Italy to eat, to India to pray, and finally to Bali to fall in love. It is …

I thought that “The Wild Thornberrys” surpassed my expectations of what it would be like. I knew that it would do well in theatres as the series seemed to be quite popular amongst many children at the time, but I thought that if I watched it I might find …

When I was a kid, I was a huge Zorro fan. The reason for this was the old black and white movie The Mark of Zorro. I got a chance to watch this movie again today and, even after all these years and after seeing it quite a few …

I don’t know what they may say about Jeepers Creepers but I think this one of the scariest movies I’ve seen. It’s got a sequel Jeepers Creepers II, shown in 2003 but the first one is scarier. The creeper (played by Jonathan Breck) is some kind of …

I have always maintained that the best books to be made a movie are the fantasy books (witness Lord of the Rings the movie). I was eagerly awaiting the third movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because I wanted to see how well the new casts such …

I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …

With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …

I rented this DVD to watch over a weekend. This film really ruined my weekend. A really boring film, with hardly any scenes. It should have been labeled as drama or documentary rather than horror/thriller.
The movie is about these 3 people Adam, Grace an Lee decide to fish in …

Three woman gang together to over throw their abusive boss that is the whole nature of this movie, the plot is tight around this fact and it makes for a wonderful movie for all to enjoy. Dolly Parton plays the role of the under appreciated secretary, one that has …

A lot of horror movies, especially in recent years, just don’t live up to the hype: “The Unborn” is an exception.
Casey Beldon is being haunted - or possessed, she’s not sure which - by the spirit of her twin brother, who died in the womb. But is it really …

What can be said about Rat Race other than very hilarious. It had to be with actors/actresses like John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Seth Green. What is with the men in the board-room, they seem to bet on any and everything…I guess …

“1408″ (2007)”1408″ is a 2007 movie filmed in color. It is in English and lasts just over 100 minutes. The movie is taken from a short story by Stephen King. Unlike some of his short stories that lend themselves to thoughtful, rich stories, such as “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Heats …

“Not Another Teen Movie” was first released when I was still in my early years of high school. In fact, I was about thirteen at the time and when it was released I didn’t pay it very much attention even though I heard most of my friends constantly talking …

Pier Paolo Pasolini’s adaptation of the classic novel by Geoffrey Chaucer about pilgrims who tell their dirty stories to each other.
This was made in a time where Pasolini was constantly taking new turns in his filmmaking and in my opinion getting further away from his original genius in his …

This is the biographical movie remake of the life of Tina Turner, played by Angela Bassett, she takes on the character role and makes this documentary in a wonderful piece of movie designed to show people what it was like to be Tina herself. Starting off from her younger …

As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …

Who is to blame for the Green Hornet movie? Can we blame director Michel Gondry for coming back to the project after he rejected it back in 1997? Or can we blame all of the countless delays that start with writers bailing out to simple crew members? Maybe we …

I like pirate movies and I had wanted to see this one for some time, so I was happy when I found it on the shelf of my local library. I had seen the preview before on other children’s DVDs and had thought it looked interesting. Truthfully, I found …

I recently took my almost 2 year old son to see Cars 2. He is a huge Cars fan, so of course he was very excited to know he would be seeing McQueen and Mater. Unfortunately though, I believe Cars 2 is more geared towards an older audience and …

Normally, I like Bruce Campbell movies, but when I saw Bubba Ho-Tep, I was actually embarrassed to be watching it, and I was in the privacy of my own house.
What a stupid movie. Basically, Elvis is alive and living at a nursing home in the deep south. He ends …

I was really anticipating this film ever since I first saw its trailer. It opened today and I hurriedly watched the last full show. The movie just got a passing mark in Rottentomatoes.com. It says ” the plot was predictable and ludicrous”.
I dissent.
Evelyn Salt ( Angelina …

How laughable this film was. I am almost ashamed to admit that I rented it from Netflix. Usually, I will see the Asian original before seeing the Americanized version. This is one instance where I wish I had. For the most part, the …

As a fan of classic horror and comedy films, it’s only natural I consider Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein as a movie favorite. Bud and Lou are in top form, and their antics keep me laughing even during repeat viewings. Yet despite the comedy, I credit the …

If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …

I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …

I watched Madagascar 2: Escape To Africa and I came out from the cinema, a happy customer. It was so hilarious and I don’t mind seeing it again. Seriously, the first Madagascar movie was funny but the second got me tears in my eyes laughing. This time around, Madagascar …
