Freedom Writers stars Hilary Swank as the teacher who goes into a system that is doomed and comes out on top. Hilary Swank is awesome as Erin, and she does not disappoint at all in this role. Another thing that I really like about Freedom Writers is that it …

OK, I know I’ve seen the movie Eurotrip before and I’m sure I have probably reviewed it before too.
But, after watching it for probably the 12th time last night, I still can’t get over how good this movie is.
Basically, for those of you who haven’t seen it, the movie …

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …

Citizen Kane- the first produced film of Orson Welles, and one that is often considered the greatest film ever made. I am a major B-film and classic film enthusiast and the idea of seeing “the greatest film ever made” sparked my interest. After indulging myself in two hours of …

When I saw the preview to King Kong, I knew it was a must seen movie . I was right. I didn’t care to watch the old King Kong, because I don’t like older movies. However, the new one, even though created in modern times, shows the world …

I can vaguely remember news reports in the nineties when I was a child of war and genocide taking place in the African province of Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsis. I was about six years old when all of this was taking place, so I was blissfully …

Shakespeare in love is a movie which is really well made and which is worth watching. It is a nice drama with Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow as the leading actors. It is the story of the world’s best master storyteller William Shakespeare. Shakespeare does stage in a town …

In 1940 Loew’s, a production company that ceased operation in the mid 1950s released the black and white feature “Shop Around the Corner” in English lasting 99 minutes. For some strange reason the movie was set in Budapest that somehow doesn’t quite work with Jimmy Stewards folksy, mid-western accent. …

I have watched Legally Blonde like 5 times and counting, and still I am not bored with it at all. The DVD is always amongst my top 5 of movies that I will watch on a regular basis and Reese Witherspoon sizzles as we already know and alongside Luke …

Suicide Club (or Circle, in practically everywhere besides the US) is a Japanese psychological horror movie that deals with subliminal messages, people’s outward appearances and personalities, and the idea of cults. It seems to have a popular, although small, fandom. I first watched it at a friend’s house, and …

Based on true life events, this movie tells the story of a mentally challenged young man. How he came into this light to be made a movie of is quite interesting and this movie will shine a lot of light into what exactly happed before, during and after the …

The movie True Grit is a story about a girl named Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), whose father was shot and killed by the outlaw Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). The girl then proceeds to hunt down Chaney, along with the help of Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) and Texas Ranger LaBouef …

Rock of Love with Bret Michaels is now in it’s second season on VH1. I got hooked on the first season because of the complete crazy chicks that were competing for his “love.” It was like a guilty pleasure that I almost felt shame for watching. …

Ok, for the record, it’s a bit too early in the year for Christmas movies. For God’s sake, it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. But, at least the Christmas movie I came across tonight, Deck the Halls, is funny.
I’m actually not a huge fan of Matthew Broderick or of Danny …

This past weekend was the first time I had a chance to sit down and watch the movie My Blue Heaven. It was an OK film but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to be and almost a waste of my time this past weekend.
I’m usually a …

Scorsese’s depiction of the mafia society is regarded as a classic by many, and tells the life story of a man growing up with these mobsters and rising to the top very quickly. Scorsese uses a voice-over (a narrator) in a way here that has been influential on later …

When I first saw a trailer for the movie I thought it was a Bourne rip off, it showed non stop ass kicking from Mark Wahlberg. After I was finished with this movie I still want to say it is a Bourne rip off just not through the plot …

Angoor - Movie Review : Angoor (meaning rapes) has been directed by great filmmaker Gulzar. It is based on Shakespere’s Comedy of Errors. The story is about two persons, a master and his servant, who have their twins in the same city, and are mistaken as themselves. The …

Eddie Murphy character in this movie is that of a no nonsense police officer and hostage negotiator. When he encounters a ruthless killer, who will stop at nothing to get what is his, Eddie’s character manages to outsmart him and puts him behind bars, but this was not for …

Will Farrell is hilarious with John C. Reilly in this comedy of two men who somehow managed to slip through the cracks and who refuse to grow up. I don’t think that this film will win any awards for its quality, but for a laugh fest, it fit’s the …

“Meet Bill” is the kind of movie you watch when you have absolutely nothing to do, and you want to see a “bright” slightly sarcastic film. Bill is played by Aaron Eckhart. He wants to earn his father in-law’s respect, but can’t seem to do so. …

Yet another “in the future the machines will take over the world and destroy all humans” kind of film, this time about a city trying to transport themselves with a time machine but fails. They then face the gruesome cyborgs (part machines, part human) who threaten to kill them …

Directed by Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder is one of the smartest movies that I have seen in a long while. It toys with the audience just like any good movie does, and by the time you realize what the movie is all about, the plot shifts gears and becomes …

This is one of the movies I can watch over and over again, and often do. Michael Caine plays a disillusioned literature professor who is assigned to teach Rita (Julie Walters), a Liverpool hairdresser. At the age of twenty six, Rita has decided to take care of her education …

As if Snakes were frightening enough. Now, there are sets of movies about giant snakes that have a hunger for human flesh. It’s bad enough that Jaws freaked people out about getting into the water. I, myself, am included in that …

I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …

Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …

For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …

Daybreakers is a film released sometime in January 2010. This film is set 10 years into the future where a plague threatened to wipe out all the human population but instead turned all those infected to vampires. The new breed of humans now made the 95% population of the …

Tyler Perry’s latest film, “Why did I get Married,” is perhaps his best film yet. This well written and directed drama is both inspiring and hilarious.
The films plot centers around a group of married couples who meet in the mountains of Colorado for a couples …

I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …

“Dead End” is one of those obscure, relatively unknown, direct-to-video horror movies that I came across on cable. I like the lead actor, Ray Wise, who once starred in the surreal TV series, “Twin Peaks.” I also like watching a suspenseful horror film from time to time. It’s just …

I am not much of a drama type person, but, this movie is one of the very few drama films that holds a special place in my heart. Jack Nicholson’s characters are always lovable whether good or bad, and in the film it was kinda both at the same …

Winter’s Bone is the kind of movie that drags you down for hours after you finish watching it. Nothing particularly gory or traumatizing happens, however this slow, heavy clunker pulls you down like a boulder. I cannot figure out for the life of me why or how this film …

Where do they get these ideas from? An Arab travels to the north countries where he is chosen to accompany 12 Viking warriors on a mission to seek out and destroy a dark evil. Antonio Banderas plays the role of the ill-fated Arab with his long-winded name…I wouldn’t even …

While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …

Synopsis: An underachiever and his friend join the US Army and, not wanting to be in combat, sign up for water detail; only to find they will be responsible for saving the lives of hundreds.
What I liked about this movie: I’m not a huge Paulie Shore fan. But, I …

I was reading a book about writing screenplays and at one point it referred to the movie “American Beauty” as an example of a good fairly modern screenplay. However when I watched it for myself, I realised that it wasn’t just the screenplay that was good, but the entire movie.

The …

Do you have so many toys that you do not know what to do with them when the time comes that you don’t want them anymore? Well, if you could watch this one great movie called Toy Story 3, you’ll have an idea what you could do with your …

“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …

I don’t get this movie. It starts off with a young man trying to get into the US Navy. He is approached and offered a late entry spot and he takes the opportunity. He goes under the usual regulated training as a US Naval officer, then the whole direction …

“Hitch” represents Will Smith’s attempt at romantic fiction and, may I add, not a bad attempt at all! This movie meant a lot for the actors, Eva Mendez and Kevin James because afterwards they received more challenging roles.
In this movie, we see how Smith stars as Alex ‘Hitch’ Hitchens …
