I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …

I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. I jokingly suggested to my roommate that we rent it, he took me seriously and added it to our netflix queue. I was truly expecting “Batman and Robin” or “Catwoman” levels of bad. Truthfully, it’s not …

Based on actual events, this movie shows to viewers that you can find hope in any situation once there is resolve to stand strong and believe. Take this movie for example, when a music department is cut from the school due to the lack of budget resources, they teacher …

I enjoyed this movie very much, not just because it stars the luscious Natasha Richardson, but because the dynamic between Richardson’s character and the character played by Mia Farrow is a delightful tongue-in-cheek account of Anglo-Irish relations that appeals to both my English and Irish ancestors. Their rivalry …

I saw the movie Tank Girl a while back but honestly couldn’t remember much about it. After seeing it again last night, I still have to admit it’s a better movie than you would expect it to be.
Apparently based off a comic book I haven’t read, the movie takes …

Last Sunday night, my wife and I went out to the local theater to see the new movie Vantage Point. Except for the fact that we had to sit in one of the front rows n the very end, the experience was definitely a pleasureable one.
The …

A truly great family movie that I was eagerly anticipating following the hit first title and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie with a couple of friends.
Full of laughs and witty little jokes and lines, this movie had me light hearted and comically relieved throughout and I really had a …

To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …

Twilight is a romantic …

Autumn in New York is a mediocre romantic movie with an element of drama. The movie has Richard Gere and Winona Ryder playing the lead roles. It is the story of a man who falls in love with a very ill woman. I watched this movie on cable and …

This is a fun yet predictable movie starring Adma Sandler (enough said on what kind of movie to expect) basically the story goes like this. Adam Sandler plays the part of an average dude who lives in Hawaii and falls for a blonde (Drew Barrymore) which he met in …

The great performance (600 million dollars) of the first feature movie about the Smurfs (2011) made the continuation of their adventures an inevitability. And it is already a fact - three-dimensional, dynamic and colorful as usual. In the center of the story is Gargamel, who is a superstar in …

The Mask with Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz.
This bizarre film straddled the line between comedy and science fiction. As in life, I believe that you must choose one direction or style. I feel that this movie took a chance by flip flopping styles; but …

When I came across the movie Wedding Daze on television, I thought it was the comedy starring Jason Biggs. Instead, it was a Hallmark Original movie that, for a comedy, was actually very dumb.
It’s really disappointing that an actor like John Laroquette, who made his mark as a womanizer …

As a parent of a 3-year-old girl, I am often concerned by the lack of quality children’s programming on television today. You can still find a few educational shows or cartoons. But, most of the things on TV, including some shows that advertise themselves as for kids, are a …

The latest film by chinese visionary Zhang Yimou is an amazing visual journey to an ancient China. Filmed in the same style as Hero, Flying Daggers manages to thrill me with speechless action stunts and magical cinematgraphy. This is easily the most visually captivating film in a long time. …

I am a fan of Robin Wright-Penn and wish that she would appear in more films. When I saw this film on Netflix, I was immediately intrigued. I didn’t know what the movie was about, only that she played a woman with a grudge who befriends …

Whenever I read a tabloid article about Lindsay Lohan getting busted for drunk driving or entering re-hab, I can’t help but be saddened. That’s because, for all the negative publicity she receives, she is actually not that bad of an actress.
Her latest movie, I know who killed me, is …

Period dramas are not really my cup of tea although I must admit the fact that I love Downton Abbey to death. I was in a depressed mode when the final episode aired this time last year because it was so sad to watch a whole bunch of characters I’ve …

What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …

While I like some action movies, I generally do not like those that include the actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Segal since I have noticed that while these movies are usually jam packed with action scenes, they also usually have the same cliché characters and these action movies …

Bulletproof Monk with Seann William Scott, Chon Yun-Fat, and Jaime King.
I have seen Chow Yun-Fat in Chinese Martial Arts movies before and enjoy the peaceful smile that he exhibits while kicking butt of the bad guys. Scott, on the other hand, was an obnoxious jerk …

I have never read the Iron Man comic strips before. So, when the movie came out, I wasn’t sure what to think.
After finally watching it this weekend, I’m regretting not seeing it at the theater.
Robert Downey Jr. is great as a wealthy weapons developer who develops a conscience and …

I watched this movie on Lifetime movie network a couple weeks ago. Overall I really like the movie. I thought it had very good actors in it, and I think that is what made the movie so good. I don’t remember much it in detail but overall I do …

Seven Pounds is a sad drama starring Will Smith and directed by Gabrielle M. who also directed the Pursuit of Happiness. The movie set a sad and tragical tone with Will Smith rather than his usual happy figure. You can expect to cry or feel sorry for the people in …

When I heard that John Stewart was writing and directing a movie, I was eager to see it. I assumed that since he’s a comedian and media critic the movie would be a comedy of sorts. I guess I should have probably read up on the movie first or at …

My daughter loves Dr. Seuss books so I recently picked her up a movie based off of one of them “The Lorax.” And, I have to say, despite the fact it was obviously filmed years ago, it was still quite a good movie.
If you haven’t seen the movie or …

The Lake House is a romantic movie with enough drama to keep you engaged throughout the movie. This Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred movie has a unique and a bit confusing plot and this is for me the USP of the movie. The protagonists of the movie live …

I was excited to see this movie because it showed famous stars featuring Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, Brian Van Holt, but unfortunately Paris Hilton is in here too, which she later on regrets that she did this movie as she was terrible!
The movie is all about six friends …

Synopsis: Two underachievers break into a bio dome and are locked in for one year.

I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …

Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …

Its a classic. Its amazing. I cant think of anything better than watching Patrick Swayze wiggle his hips and balance on a log.
I have seen this film thousands of times, I know the script off by heart and I know the soundtrack inside out.
This movie is the best chick …

After the box office flop of The Craving, Paul Naschy never thought he’d ever play the werewolf role he made famous ever again. Well, never say never because he was tapped by a Japanese company to make this strange “Werewolf runs amok in fuedal Japan” mini epic.
If the description …

I saw Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” a few years back and, although I don’t think it was a masterpiece, it was still an interesting look at husband-wife relationships.
When the sequel, “Why Did I Get Married, Too?” came out on dvd, I decided to watch it. To …
