A science fiction film with a very young US President calling major shots. Well put together cast and a decent plot. Aliens come to earth with a mysterious intention and as stupid people do…we humans send out a helicopter with flashing lights to welcome our visitors. A race travel …

Coming from Old School Superman, I could never really get into Superman and Lois Lane as an item. I can appreciate its inevitability � I mean, after all, they’ve been working together almost seventy years. But if television is any indicator, romances typically mean the death knell to a …

Hellboy 2 The Golden Army is a good movie for a guy to take his girl to if he wants to get some good relationship points. This movie is great and will hold your attention from start to finish. I liked the special effects but I have to …

I admit to being surprised at the caliber of the musical performances of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, and Richard Gere and it made for a stunning production of Chicago, but at the same time, I honestly believe that the theater production I saw of it in Los Angeles …

It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …

I think the movie IT is one of the best and scariest movies ever made. This is a movie that will make you afraid of clowns after you watch it. It is one of the darkest and most evil movie ever made. I was horrified by the sinister appearance …

Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …

I had rented the Thai version of this film and was really disappointed with how shallow the American remake was. First of all, Joshua Jackson (of “Dawson’s Creek”, “Skulls”) is the lead character. I was not even aware of who his co-star is. …

This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …

The story …

I had an early sneak preview of this movie. This is a great movie for the whole family. Eddie Murphy is real good about delivering movies that inspire the whole family, and sometimes teaches us valuable lessons.
If you remember he created the movie “Norbit (2007)”, “Dr Dolittle …

I guess I am on a marathon of Jiang Yiyan’s movies. I’ve previously mentioned why I became a fan of her and I won’t repeat myself here again.
A thing I realized about her movies is that, she usually has very interesting roles but the movie itself is always lacking somehow. …

Prescription: Murder was the movie that spawned the iconic Columbo TV series. The movie starred the dapper Gene Barry in the murderer’s role. That was one thing that was special about the Columbo series. It was always a game of cat and mouse. The mystery …

I saw that Mena Suvari (of American Beauty) and Breckin Meyer were in this offbeat comedy. I thought it would be more about a diner with quirky characters. But it’s actually about a trendy looking café in London with quirky characters. The story itself …

Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …

One day I watched this movie because I was really bored and it was on television. It wasn’t that good at all. I think I might have laughed once or twice. Most of the time I like movies about this or that are like this. This movie though made …

Under the Tuscan sun is a very nice movie. The movie with Diane Lane as the lead actor is a very heart touching movie with some poignant moments to it’s credit. Frances has a painful split from her husband and what makes it more painful is the fact that …

If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.
While the concept behind the movie is a good one, it’s set in the future and water is scarce; something that creates a world …

I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …

This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …

Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …

It has been a while since I saw the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous so I took the time to watch it this morning when it was on TV.

I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.
I’m not sure, but I think this might have originally …

A couple of months ago I watched a trailer of the movie Elysium. My first expressions were «WOW. That is a must-watch movie». It was full of superb special effects, action and some new idea.
