Brokeback Mountain movie
I was a bit hesitant to watch Brokeback Mountain because I’ve never really seen two men kissing or making love on screen. But with all the hype and critical acclaim that the movie received (along with several Oscar nominations), I just had to see it. So I rented a …
One Hour Photo movie
One Hour Photo with Robin Williams.
I am sorry to say that this was the worst Robin Williams movie ever. Why take a great comedic actor and put him in a detestable role of obsessed evil? This is a case in which the story …
King Kong Film
This was surely the worst film I have seen in over a year. For the director to say he spent his whole life wanting to re-make this film is a joke as he couldn’t of done a worse job. The storyline is exactly the same as in …
The Theory of Everything (biographical drama movie)
I was one of those people who was interested in watching the movie “The Thoery of Everything” long before it became nominated for various awards and won several Oscars. This was because I was thrilled with the idea of a movie about Professor Stephen Hawking’s life, his romance with Jane …

A movie about revenge for something that happened a century ago isn’t that too long to wait? A group of lepers had planned to …

‘Deadpool’ Movie
People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The actor was cast to play the reputed “merc with a mouth”, but while Reynolds shined in the early scenes, the actual Deadpool was a stunning disappointment. Nevertheless, fans still …
The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
I Walked with a Zombie movie
Another classic horror film, made back in the 1930s. Very subtle horror is it doesn’t really contain any violence or monsters. A woman travels to Jamaica where she learns of the strange culture called voodoo - the ability to control people using a puppet.
This woman experiences the most remarkable …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
When the movie “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” was released in movie theatres, I had no interest in seeing it for some reason. However, recently when I was bored I managed to watch the movie and was surprised that I actually thought of passing it over …

Knight and Day Movie (2010)
As I saw the trailer for this movie a few weeks ago, I knew I had to watch it, seeing Tom Cruise in action again, plus with funny Cameron Diaz playing as his lady love in the movie. When the movie finally hit the screen, a lot of people …
Robin Hood (2010) Movie
Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.
Robin Hood is a man named Robert Longstride, an archer who accompanies …
The Karate Kid (movie)
When I heard that there was going to be another Karate Kid movie released recently, I was very interested in watching it since I remember watching the other of these movies when I was much younger and liking them. My interest in seeing the new one was piqued …

Set on an american warship in the pacific, this film is about a someone who tries by all means to get away from the war which the ship is about to take part in, but the captain is not about to let this happen. Unusual as this was directed …
Ocean’s Eleven
I am a huge fan of all of the Ocean’s movies, Ocean’s eleven probably being my favorite of the three so far. What I love about this movie is that the makers never forget that this movie if made up of STARS and every single characters gets to …
Dracula: Dead And Loving It
This is Mel Brooks’s version of Count Dracula story, released in 1995. All I can say is funny, funny, FUNNY! Just thinking of it makes me smile. Leslie Nielsen as the imposing but a little clumsy Dracula who keeps messing things up, Peter MacNicol as an unsuspecting London solicitor …
Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol
With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …
“Superbad” (2007 Film)
What do you get when you take three high school outcasts who attempt to get with the girls they have been crushing on one final time before graduating and moving on to college? Well, you get the movie “Superbad”, where three friends, Seth, Evan and Fogell (Jonah Hill, Michael …
Movie: Blackbeard the Pirate
I was flipping channels the other morning and came across a pirate movie called Blackbeard the Pirate.
I hadn’t seen this movie before but love older films like this so I figured I would sit down and watch it while everyone else was still asleep. After seeing it, I honestly …
Barefoot (2014 movie)
After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the director of Nancy Drew and other well-known comedy drama films, Barefoot really carried me away into some outlandish fantasy. Scott Speedman …
Wedding Crashers (2005 movie)
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn star as a couple of con artist, womanizing, two-timing individuals who crash weddings and hit on the women in a gentlemanly fashion, in order to sleep with them. Doing it for years it seems, they have a plan for every situation. All their scheming …
Hangover Part 2 movie
I am not exactly a big fan of sequels, so when I heard that they intended to make Hangover 2, I was more than a little skeptical. I absolutely adored The Hangover and it is among my friends’ favourites when it comes to comedy as well. It made me …
Shinobi
This movie, titled Shinobi, is about 1 hr and 56 minutes and I cried while watching. It tells a story of love, action and adventure, and there is also some violent images, so the rating R is there.
I am not sure why movies about war and romance always …
Daybreak movie
A very inventive film from Marcel Carné, who created some amazing films back in the 1930s known as part of the poetic realism. The narrative is very peculiar, as the end of the whole film is the first thing that is shown, and then the rest of the story …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …
Freaks movie
The cult declared film from the early 1930s by Tod Browning was before its time with the story it tells. A circus companionship with “freaks” travels around together. The so called freaks are people with strange looks, everything from midgets to people with small heads. These people were authentic, …
The X Files: I Want To Believe Movie
Just about 12 hours ago, I went to see the X-Files: I Want To Believe movie. I knew there was a lot of mixed reviews in regards to the movie, but I really wanted to see for myself as I am an X-Files fan at heart.
I went and saw …
The Kings of Mykonos (2010 film)
This is an Australian production filmed in the famous Mykonos island, in Greece. As long as you do not form high expectations about it in advance you might have some fun with it.
The plot itself is not a big deal. An Aussie of Greek origin inherits a big deal …
Netflix
Yesterday was the fourth time I’ve registered for Netflix. I’ve been a member before but have cancelled my membership three times thinking we would be cutting back on our movie watching. And, once again, we found we are better off with the service.
The thing I like about Netflix is …
Veggietales: Silly Thing Called Love
I picked up a Veggietales DVD for my daughter that I thought would keep her occupied for about 45 minutes. It turns out it was a pretty decent, full-length disk that kept her occupied for more than an hour.
Silly Thing Called Love is a great Veggietales disk that uses …
Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …
Flushed Away Movie
We went to see the movie Flushed Away this past weekend. There were two adults and a 12 year old boy. I went in with the intention of seeing a comedy, not knowing it was more of an adventure movie. It was a nice family film with a few …
Good Luck Chuck
It starts off really good and funny and then the middle is still funny but not as funny as in the middle. It kept me interested the whole movie. The funny parts in the movie were really hilarious and made me laugh. I even re winded a few parts …
Movie Cars
I love the Pixar movie Cars, as does my almost three year old daughter. Cars is my second favorite movie in the Pixar lineup, behind only the Incredibles. I’m still trying to figure out where to put Wall-E in the list.
What’s there not to love about Cars? …

A film about food, and what effect it can have on people’s lives. Tita is a young woman with a very strict mother who won’t allow her to marry anyone she wants. Tita shows her frustration, or rather gets rid of it, by cooking food, which become very famous …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Movie
Out of all three Transformers films, this film was the best one out of all of them. And I’m not talking about the human performance. More than anything, it was so good to see that Optimus Prime had a much larger role in Transformers Dark of the Moon, than …
Man on Fire movie
Man on Fire is another good serious movie which show drama, action, and crime in a same time. The main actor Denzel Washington (act as Creasy) is very great acting in this movie. My tears like wanna fall in the end of movie.
This movie actually is based by a …
State of Play movie
I was expecting State of Play to follow a common story line for movies about political intrigue, but I was riveted to the screen for most of this movie. While some of the plot twists were predictable, the final one near the end was unexpected. I also dislike the …
Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke (movie)
The movie Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke released few years back. The film was directed by Deepak Shivdasani. I watched this film on television. I did not like the movie much except for few of its songs. The leading roles of this film have been played Ajay Devgan, Madhuri …
Open Season (movie)
Our family went to see Open Season today and were pleasantly surprised. The cast of animated characters all had fun personalities and meshed well together. We found it charming, funny and thought it gave a satisfying ending.
Debra Messing, Martin Lawrence, Billy Connolly and Ashton Kutcher supplied some of the …
Airplane movie
I usually keep away from watching comedies from the nineteen seventies and early eighties since I’ve found out over the years that most of them tend to bore me. So when I first got access to cable television and would see this movie going on, I didn’t even pay …
Mysterious Skin (movie)
I generally love watching independent and foreign films, and it brings me great joy when I find a particularly enjoyable one especially after searching for some time. Mysterious Skin was one of those where I was also surprised that I didn’t hear much about it because a very popular …
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is, in my opinion, the best sea faring movie ever made. That is a very bold statement but that shows how much I thought of Master and Commander. I was shocked by how accurate the history was in …
