Ghostbusters (2016 Comedy Movie)
Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …

The Pursuit of Happiness
I’ve just returned from watching the newly released ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ starring Will Smith. Based on a true rags-to-riches story of a smart and hard-working man, the movie has left me touched, encouraged’ and a little depressed. It’s not that I didn’t know that life can be hard; …

Bulletproof Monk (2003)
I don’t really get the whole basis of this movie. It goes too wide and gets way confusing the longer the movie progresses. Eve though it has a pretty straight forward and easy plot to follow, the direction of the whole movie has not been put together in a …
Nim’s Island
Don’t make the mistake to regard the movie “Nim’s Island” as just another movie for kids. This movie is ideal for all the family jam-packed with drama, romance and funny moments. Apart from providing us with a cute and entertaining story, “Nim’s Island” has got an A-List of actors …
The Polar Express
I didn’t get a chance to see the Polar Express at the theater and never got around to renting it on DVD. So, when it came on television Christmas night, I figured there was no better time to watch it.
I had mixed emotions about the movie. On one hand, …
The Santa Clause (1994 film)

The Titanic (Movie)

Movie The Unborn

A few years ago, The Blair Witch Project used one camera to add realism to a horror film and was so successful at doing it, other movies have tried to copy the method. Unfortunately, those movies often fail.
This was pretty much the case with the movie Quarantine. On one …

It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …
There Will Be Blood movie

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 …

Be Kind Rewind, comedy film
Comedy movies are hard to make any more. A good comedy tends to please the audience for its entire length. A bad comedy only has enough laughs to make the trailer look good. Be Kind Rewind is one of those comedy movies that sort of falls in-between the cracks …
Man on the Moon
Man On The Moon with Jim Carrey, Danny DeVito, Courtney Love, and Paul Giamatti.
Though hard to tell by the title, this poorly presented movie was a biography of the comedian Andy Kaufman and his alter ego Tony Clifton. It is a shame that such a …

Short Circuit movie

A Walk in The Clouds
“A Walk in the Clouds” is my favourite Keanu Reeves involvment in a romantic movie because it has all the right ingredients for a great romantic movie. This fact was also confirmed by winning the Golden Globe Awards for best original score.
I believe that this movie must have haunted …
Zombiethon [VHS], Horror movie
Going old school with this review and I mean old school. Zombiethon is a VHS that features clips from 7 zombie movies. No, that wasn’t a typo from me; Zombiethon is just a collection of other movies. Why would something like even be created? Maybe the same reason why …

There are very few movies out there that show you the importance of fatherhood. That’s why I think Finding Nemo is one of the better movies ever made.

Back To The Future
Everyone wishes they could go back in time to straighten out family disfunctions. But as this movie shows, if you aren’t too careful, things could turn out worse than before.

Boss, a telugu movie
casting: Nagarjuna, Nayana tara, sunil
Boss is an average movie. Music and songs are also below average. There is no stuff in the movie. No message… nothing. This is just time pass movie. This time Hero Nagarjuna took wrong step in choosing the story. The best part of the movie …
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: Season One

Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.

The story isn’t …
