For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …

This is one of the better entertainers I have seen in Indian cinema. Katha, meaning ’story’, is directed by Sai Paranjpe, and she has done a fantastic job to narrate ‘Chawl’ (a big house where different people live together, and are allotted one room each - they have a …

This movie doesn’t boost of big names to begin with. However, those who watched should found the money worthwhile.
The story centres around a norseman child left behind in the new world during a babaric campaign. Raised by the victims (North Indians), the boy grew up into a fine young …

Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …

I don’t know that they necessarily needed to make a move, but I’m glad they did. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest movie of all time, but it was enjoyable if you are a Sex in the City fan like I am. Now, I would be wary for younger viewers …

“Intolerable Cruelty” is a romantic comedy, where the actors, George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones have a lot of on screen chemistry.

I am a huge Chronicles of Narnia fan and have read all of the books in the series. So when I heard that a movie was coming out, and that Disney was doing it, I was way excited and had high hopes and expectations. Disney did not let me …

It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …

When I first saw a trailer for the movie I thought it was a Bourne rip off, it showed non stop ass kicking from Mark Wahlberg. After I was finished with this movie I still want to say it is a Bourne rip off just not through the plot …

I am a major fan of classic movies and I actually have a big VHS and DVD movie collection. Among those I cherish most is “Ninotchka”, the first motion picture where Greta Garbo laughed. It may not sound extraordinary, but it was, because Garbo was largely known …

Another fun entry into the canon of Tripping the Rift highlighting the best aspect of the show: its villain Darph Bobo. Lightsaber battles, clown orgies, the Tentacle Club for Men: they are all a part of the fun and frivolity to be had here. Not to mention …

I have seen the most recent version of the movie Hairspray and I absolutely loved it. So, I decided to take the time to watch a slightly older version, the 1988 version that starred Ricki Lake in the lead role.
OK, the movie is essentially the same as the remake …

I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …

This movie is about getting ‘knocked up’, and finding the truth. I watched this the other day and it was so darn hilarious, and only suitable for young adults and adults.
It is about a woman who went for a one night stand with a guy, and then got …

Apocalypto must be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year. The problem is, it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing towards the end of the film. It just was too much, by that time.
First off, the …

It is extremely rare that I sit down to watch a movie, and I am literally engrossed in it so much that I cannot leave my seat for the entire length of the movie. The Hurt Locker is so incredibly intense from the first moment, and the plot, acting …

“The Forbidden Kingdom”, directed by Rob Minkoff, is a rather highly predictable tale involving a Kung-Fu crazy american teenager, a ‘drunken immortal’(Jackie Chan), a monkey god(Jet Li) and a megalomaniacal military warlord. The plot revolves around the monkey god’s golden staff, which was separated from him by the cunning …

I won’t be giving much plot info in this review, because that is easily accessible on Wikipedia or something. I liked this movie. That’s it, just liked. The beginning was pretty bland, and it bored me to sleep. As it went on, it got a little …

The seventies were big on disaster films, and Flood! was right smack in the middle of it. Obviously, the natural disaster at the heart of this movie is a flood, made possible by a lot of rain and an official who refuses to open the dam gates.
Flood! is …

Though there are no stars, Cold Case has an effective chemistry in its cast selection. Out of the multitude of cop shows, this show is unique in its absence of angry detectives that seem to be prevalent. Also, the use of flashbacks is well practiced and keeps …

Prior to watching this movie, I did not know much of anything about Johnny Cash. For me, the big draw to see the movie in the first place were the main characters, Joaquin Phoenix in particular. I was very sad to see him drop out of acting as I …

Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps is a great, classic movie for all lovers of rock and roll. I adore Neil Young and consider him to be one of the greatest musicians ever. Neil Young’s guitar sound is like no other, as is his voice. Rust Never …

The original release date was November 1, 1996 for United States audience. This movie fallsin the genre of Crime/Drama/Romance and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as …

This film has left me pretty stunned and I really need to watch it again. Yes, I think it is very good but it is certainly not to everyone’s taste. There is a rather famous, or infamous, torture scene that is truly agony to experience, but I …

2006’s Ultraviolet has an awesome concept. A virus has been discovered that alter humans who are affected by it and transforms them into enhanced beings, which way later on in the film you find out are supposed to be vampires. These affected people are considered outcasts. These “enhanced” humans …

My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …

I have a very high expectations on the movie since I am one of the X-Men Fanatic, though I was a bit disappointed when I found out that the director of X-men 1 and 2 is not directing 3 because he has some other engagement. I have been expecting …

I am reviewing the movie, Odd Couple II, which was released in 1998. It stars Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. How can you not like a movie with these two in it? These two were absolute comedic geniuses, and worked best when they were together! Matthau and Lemmon …

I had watched the original Karate Kid movies a few tens of times over my life and I really loved them. It was hard for me going to watch the new Karate Kid movie (The Karate Kid 2010), mainly because I was expecting a re-run of the original movie …

The other day I had nothing to do so I called a couple of my friends to go out and watch a movie. We got to the Famous Players at Metropolis and watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World; a movie I had been dying to see. The movie is …

Watchmen was an absolutely amazing film. If you can get the chance though, I would read the book before you go see the movie. Why? Because half of the greatness of the movie is appreciating how accurately they kept up with the panels from the comic; even shadows …

The third and hopefully the last in the trilogy known as Final Destination. This time they go too far and make the movie too predictable. Whereas in the first movie, you can understand to some extent what happened after the boy had a premonition in the form of a …

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is a fun movie to watch, but it’s not nearly as good as the previous movie, Godzilla vs. Biollante. This movie isn’t as dark as the previous two and actually features some campy scenes that are a bit reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s movies. …

Robocop is one of those classic Science Fiction that everybody knows about so it made perfect sense for this movie to get the Criterion release. Robocop has been released numerous times. Out of all the releases, not sure about the newest one, the Criterion one stands out as the …

The I in the Triangle is the film of a lecture given by renowned author and conspiracy expert Robert Anton Wilson. I am a big fan of Wilson, so it is always nice to see another one of his videos. This is an older lecture given by …

The first time I was aware of the movie “Things We Lost in the FIre” was I think in the year 2008 when it finally premiered on a cable television movie channel. I found myself having the urge to watch the movie since it had an independent movie feel …
