Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …

Big City movie
I saw Big City for the first time this week, and I just loved it. It’s a warm, sweet, tender family drama, though it couldn’t happen in today’s society. Back when it was filmed in 1948, I suppose it could have been possible.
The adorable and ultra talented …

The Man Who Wasn’t There movie
After almost ten years of films that didn’t speak to me the Coen brothers finally created something interesting again. The Man Who Wasn’t There is something of a homage to the old great noir films like The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon. In the center stands Billy Bob …

In today’s society of “I”, “me” and “myself”, 7 Pounds is a story of selflessness. The film stars Hollywood star Will Smith as he went on to give “himself” to 7 deserving individuals as penance for the seven lives he destroyed in a freak accident.

The Princess Diaries movie

The Pentagon Wars movie
Good movie, and a rather scary one, if you think about the fact that it is actually based on a book written by someone who worked for Pentagon. Colonel James Burton (Cary Elwes) is assigned to supervise the completion of a new army machine - the Bradley Infantry Fighting …
Wedding Crashers movie
I’ve been getting a little burnt out on Owen Wilson comedies so I didn’t know what to think when I finally watched Wedding Crashers for the first time. It was hillarious.
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn make a great team, pretending to be related to the wedding parties so they …
2001: A Space Odyssey movie
Whenever I read reviews about this Stanley Kubiak film, I keep hearing about how it’s a classic and how it changed the movie industry.

The Last Samurai Movie
I have never appreciated The Last Samurai until it was pointed out at one of the conventions I attended recently. One of the speakers at the convention pointed out that the values and tradition upheld by these ancient Japanese warriors are significant in the building of a person’s character.

This is a the film version of a classic tv-series from the 1960s. Uma Thurman is a sexy british agent and Ralph Fiennes her partner. Sean Connery is the villain who threatens to destroy the whole world with some kind of weather machine. I haven’t seen the tv-series myself, …
Movie Fragile
Starring: Calista Flockhart (Amy Nichols), Richard Roxburgh (Doctor Robert), Elena Anaya (Helen Perez), Gemma Jones (Mrs Folder), Yasmin Murphy (Maggie)
This movie is trite and unexciting, despite the appealing storyline behind it. I would think the Japanese and Koreans would have done better with this.
Amy took up a …

The Lovely Bones movie

Independence Day, Wild. Wild West, Men in Black, I Robot, I legend. Main ingredient Will Smith plus flat imagination, lots of special effects. I fell asleep, I felt ripped off. There were dramatic moderately high points in the movie. The scripts were not original, Smith …

The Change Up Movie 2011
Very recently I just saw the movie The Change Up. The theme of this movie is literally switching lives and switching bodies. If you have seen the movie the Kid with Tom Hanks or Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, pretty much this is exactly the …
Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …

Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …
Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …
Delightfully Dangerous movie
Delightfully Dangerous from 1945 starred a teenaged Jane Powell as Sherry Williams. This is actually the first time I’ve seen her as a teenager and a brunette to boot. I enjoyed her performance, though. She was gay and pretty and gullible, as many girls of the …
Funny People movie
Judd Apatow promised the world with Funny People and delivered an atlas. Not even a good atlas but a boring one without any pictures. If you saw the previews and advance publicity for this movie and were expecting a comedy, or even a few laughs, like myself you will …

This movie is based on the novel by Stephen King, which I managed to finish in one setting, so I figured the movie had to be good. And it WAS fairly entertaining, though it got a little cheezy towards the end. The movie basically is about four friends who …

30 Days of Night
This is a good movie if you like horror movies and you don’t mind gory things. If you are a person that doesn’t like gory or cannot take it I don’t recommend it. It kept me interested, the acting was good, I wasn’t really bored at all. There were …

Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …
TRAITOR, The Movie Jeffrey Nachmanoff
An extraordinary film, which is supported by the story and that is not normal. Where we see from the two sides. Contrasting with the Kingdom of the most talked about police searching for evidence. But this movie, we see from the two sides are different. Not many movie scenes …

The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
