This is a film that I would not have personally gone out to watch had it not been recommended for me. American History X is a film centred around the White power movement and the consequences of extremism.
The film’s main protagonist is the intelligent Derek Vinyard. Following the murder …

Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …

Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …

Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.

A rather weak …

“Meet Joe Black” classifies as one of the top ten movies Hollywood has produced, in my opinion at least. The movie was loosely based on the black and white film “Death Takes a Holiday.” Brad Pitt played Death, Anthony Hopkins played Bill Parrish, and Claire Forlani played Susan Parrish. …

James Whale’s classic sequel to Frankenstein. Here we see Boris Karloff yet again as the monster who is misunderstood as a savage killer, depending on his looks and unability to speak. At the same time the real monster, an insane colleague to dr Frankenstein, plans to create a bride …

Alice in Wonderland is the newest release on this old tale but it is a new twist on the story that we have all heard before. The man behind the magic this time is Tim Burton.
The story takes place when Allison is 19 returning to Wonderland, actually called …

I went to watch The Reader pretty recently, and I must say that although the movie is quite alright, it could have been better. That’s what I personally feel. But make no mistake on the fact that Kate Winslet has done a good job once more and that …

When will these couples learn that starring in a movie together only brings trouble, then gain, they live their lives in the publics eye anyway, so this is like second nature to them. This movie, starring Jennifer Lopez as a mobster and lesbian and Ben Affleck as a whiney …

I received the DVD Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Christmas. I liked both the movies before it, and I missed seeing Dawn of the Dinosaurs in the theaters, so I wanted to see it on DVD. The movie is a continuation of the last two …

The movie Titanic when it came out was a force to be reckoned with. I was about fifteen and all the girls at my school were going nuts over it. They even went to see it over eight times.
I myself was never that devoted but when I …

The Children of the Huang Shi, a true story about a group of Chinese children left with no families to care for them because of the Second World War event. They faced a drastic change when a British journalist was brought to them; they resisted, made fun of him, …

I have seen the movie Grease probably about 50 times since I was a kid. And, even though I have seen it that many times, I can’t help but take the time to watch at least part of it whenever I come across it on television.
I’m not sure what …

This is the second installation into the ‘whole yards’ situation that they started before. In the original, Jimmy the Tulip wanted to get out of the mob life and make a new life for himself, this was successful due to the expert dental work of Oz the dentist, an …

The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …

My wife and I were watching the movie Wrong Turn last night on the SyFy channel when they advertised their film Backwoods. Naturally, I assumed this would be their version of Wrong Turn and didn’t think it would be any good. The only reason we didn’t switch the channel …

Lantana with Anthony LaPaglia, Geoffrey Rush, and Barbara Hershey.
This film was supposed to be a murder mystery but turned out to be a social discussion on the crises facing married couples to make the relationship last. Quite frankly, I fail to understand the movie, but …

The movie “Erin Brockovich” came out in 2000 and I rushed out and bought it the moment it became available on DVD. This movie was inspiring to me because she didn’t let anything hold her back. Julia Roberts portrayal of Erin Brockovich was astounding. I have …

There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …

I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …

A classic remake in animation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s wonderful use of colours left my eyes watering…and the plot was good. Good guys showed their courage, bad guys showed how evil they can be, and gargoyles showed they had no legs…lol. This is another great animated …

I have seen Grease over ten times. It’s one of those movies. the ones you can watch over and over and it still feels fresh and new. The story lien is that a good girl from Australia Sandy falls for American bad boy Danny. It’s …

I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …

To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel was released in 2009 and continued the success of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore as musical superstars.

Another good good good!
Another topnotch of Ghibli stuff. This is is one of the romance movie I have seen without cliche and it tackles so much about life in a very simple way. Though its an old movie it definitely deserves a second look.
Hayao Miyazaki is one of …

A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
Tornatore is known by many as the director behind critically acclaimed Cinema Paradiso, a film which in my opinion is very overrated and relies only on sentimentality.
This is …

Another unforgettable movie from Audrey Hepburn Collection. This is my favorite among her films, its a classic indeed.
In this film Audrey portrays the role of a bookstore clerk named Jo Stackton. The Quality magazine, a fashion magazine held a photoshoot at the bookstore she worked for. She was discovered …

My daughter loves horror movies and convinced me to rent What Lies Beneath. She said it was a good movie, but I am not a huge fan of horror films. I decided to give it a try anyway. She wanted to watch it, so why not. I rented the …

A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …

Excellent movie series,which everyone should watch, just completely loved it. Its humorous and also has a message at the same time,and is a complete fun to watch. It compares life of tribal’s living in the Kalahari Dessert to that of people living in a big city, It has …

Separate Lies was released in 2005 and I knew as soon as it started that I probably wouldn’t like it. For one thing, the list of actors, overall, aren’t my style. Tom Wilkinson, for example, supposedly as talent, but he bores me, not to mention he’s often …

The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …

I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. I first saw it in the movie theaters with my room mate during my freshman year of college. I went in there really not sure what to expect because the book itself I actually read. It was written by …

I recently watched this movie on a DVD player at home. In my opinion I think the movie is quite sexy especially on that part where Jessica Alba was seen dancing on the disco floor in which she was secretly taken a video by some teenage guys while …

To start off with, any movie that has Michael Caine saying, �Pull my finger� at gunpoint can’t be all bad. And Children of Men is not bad, but it sure is depressing. The story of a future Earth, where the last baby born was eighteen years ago, and now …

When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …

I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …

This is the most stupidest Adam Sandler’s movie I have ever seen in my whole life and the most stupid movie I’ve seen so far this year. I was quite disappointed after watching the movie with my husband who is a big Adam Sandler fan. Good thing we did …

I am reviewing The Case of the Tyrant’s Daughter, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

This movie is about tennis in all its glory. Nothing more, nothing less. They try to toss in a love story in it but that was dashed asunder on the rocks below as this movie failed to even grasp and hold you until the very end of the movie. …

I came across the short movie Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog a couple weeks ago and was intrigued enough to add it to my instant watch queue at Netflix (but not enough to actually rent the movie). I’m glad I did. The film was actually pretty interesting.
This movie, which was …

Tom Cruise had his big break in “Risky Business” back in 1983, and I could see why: the movie is the ultimate coming-of-age story, with all the expect twists and turns.
Cruise plays awkward teenager Joel, who longs to be cool - he dreams of sex, money, and popularity. When …

This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …
