The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)
One of my favorite Christmas films of all time is the 1992 “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. I was a fan of the Muppets as a child and seeing them in a film playing out the roles that I know all too well of the Christmas Carol was really wonderful. …

Quantum of Solace
What is it?
I think this is the first James Bond film to be produced that was not taken from a book written by Ian Fleming, the author of all the other ones. It was released in October 2008.

James Bond sets out to save the world …

The Day After Tomorrow
There have been many, many movies from Hollywood which have told us exactly how we’ll die off as a human race. None took so much meaning for the time as The Day After Tomorrow. It showed what effects the weather would have on our climate. We tend to think …
King Kong Movie
I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …
Movie: Dear John
Dear John is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. I would say the novel was more outstanding than the movie, in terms of details. The movie however, is still a great romance flick to watch with your significant other.
The movie starrs Channing Tatum as John and …
Dostana
The promos of dostana generated controversies about some sizzling scenes. The songs that came out before the movie also very really good. I wanted to watch the movie. So went to watch the movie because afterall it was a youthful movie about friends as per the previews and also …
Shelter Movie (2010)
Shelter is a movie that could have been so much more. It had all the right ingredients: a great actress in the lead- Julianne Moore, a thrilling concept and some well researched information about actual rites and traditions. But the way all of it was put together, just did …
In The Cut (2003) Movie
I am afraid that I could not help comparing this movie all the way through to Nine and a Half Weeks, the 1987 erotic movie starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Now that is an erotic movie and I (and my friends at the time too!) can totally …
Black Sunday movie
Mario Bava’s breakthrough picture has an opening scene that astounded a whole generation of filmmakers. It is so filled with mood and gothic beauty, but at the same time frightening in its graphical violence. The story here is about a witch waking up from her slumber in 1700th century …
The Aviator, movie
You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …
Bedtime Stories comedy
Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, is an enjoyable family oriented comedy. It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s one you feel fairly safe watching with your kids. There is some very mild bad language, but it’s pretty tame even for its PG rating. My one biggest complaint (Spoiler alert) …
X Change movie
Science Fiction about a company offering the service of teleportation for business people with little extra time on their hands. Somehow a terrorist hijacks this tecnique and threatens to manipulate it all which will cause the death of hundreds of people.
A second rate action film that is quite is …
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …
License To Wed (2007)
Popular Casts : Robin Williams, Mandy Moore, John Krasinski
Watching this movie really reminds me to “Anger Management” by Jack Nicholson so, for the people who love “Anger Management”, make sure that you watch this movie. To be honest, Robin Williams’ acting is still not better than The Genius Jack …
Yes Man Movie by Jim Carrey
There was this time when we watched a movie at Trinoma Cinema, the movie was Yes Man! by Jim Carrey. The movie was fun and it was totally something everyone would love to watch - especially for those who loves a simple movie with lots of laughter and funny …
Veggie Tales: The Star of Christmas
I had to do some last second shopping yesterday afternoon before the stores were closed for Christmas. While there, I noticed a movie in one of the bargain bins; Veggie Tales: The Star of Christmas. Since it was only $5, I figured it would be a great last second …
Film Titanic
One of the best movies I have ever seen is the movie Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio. This movie is a great depiction of the maritime catastrophe that occured on April 15, 1912. I felt that the movie took me back to that event.
I thought …

Forrest Gump
I was watching the movie Forrest Gump again for probably the third or fourth time. While not quite as good as I remember it when I originally saw it, I still think this has to be one of Tom Hanks better pictures.
The great thing about this movie is you …
Roger & me
This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …
City Of Bones Movie
I finally found some time to watch “City of Bones.” The film, which the fans of Cassandra Clare waited so impatiently. The plot of the movie follows the plot of the book as the director has successfully emphasized the key points of the story. Indicative of this is particularly …

Suicide Squad (2016 Superhero Movie)

Happy Feet Movie
I had heard this so much about this small penguin and having in my brain the popular saying “where there are a lot of cherries hold a small basket”, I was little circumspect with the particular animation movie. Also, I believed that after “Searching for Nemo” hardly another animation …
Mean Girls
I rented the movie Mean girls the other night it has been out for quite a while but I have never gotten around to watching this. If I was a teenage girl this would be one of my favorite movies. It is about a girl not just moving to …

Hoodwinked movie
When I first saw the previews for Hoodwinked on television I thought it would be a lousy film. But, after giving it a try, I now feel it is a movie I would be glad to add to my collection.
Giving “The Other Story” to the Little Red Riding Hood …
Moulin Rouge (Movie)
Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …

True Grit movie

Let’s Go Collegiate movie
Let’s Go Collegiate was a movie released in 1941 that is basically a lot of college age nonsense. I tried, but I couldn’t get all that into the fun of this picture. It was okay, but I just didn’t really take to the story and none of …

The movie had a power house cast. It includes Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo, Alicia Keys and Dakota Fanning. Set in the late 1964, the story recalls ethnical atrocities and family disorientation.
The story basically centers on the misery of Lily Owens ( Dakota Fanning ) who is …
The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb
I picked up The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb because it was cheap ($6.44) and because it looked somewhat interesting, if a bit derivative. Derivative is right, this two-part mini-series steals liberally from both the Indiana Jones franchise as well as the Mummy series.
Does the Curse of King …
