This movie tells the story of a war veteran who has returned from the Vietnam War and is totally unprepared for the day to day activities of regular life. He manages to completely alienate himself from his family and to make matters worse, he moves away to the wilderness …

So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …

The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …

When I bought a DVD of this movie, I thought it was some sort of a comedy film just like Music and Lyrics, to my surprise it was not really about music. Its more of a reality based movie. This movie really touched my heart while I was watching …

First off, the fact that the star of this movie is Gary Busey should tip you off as to what kind of a movie it’s going to be. If that doesn’t, then the fact that he plays a talking homicidal cookie should. After being executed for a murder spree/ …

My wife and I were once again in the mood for a good zombie flick so I ended up picking out Grindhouse: Planet Terror, in an effort to find a more modern movie that might put a different spin on things.
It was an OK movie but not the best …

I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …

Collateral, 2004. Vincent (Tom Cruise), a hitman, comes to LA to take care of five “targets.” He hires a taxi, offering the driver a large sum to take him to all five locations. Max (Jamie Foxx), the cabman, unsuspecting at first, takes the job. Then he learns that the …

Mumbai, city where dream comes true and many dreams just remain as they are, dreams. Story of this movie circles around two brothers Jamal Malik and elder brother Salim Malik and also their female partner in crime, Latika, who at a very young age were rendered homeless due to the …

This cartoon movie is a compilation of various shorts cartoons that was stretched out to feature length. The background of this movie is about daffy Duck finding a treasure map that leads him to a deserted island that has a magical wishing well designed to grant the holder of …

If you read the description on the back of the box, the movie Space Camp probably will sound like something so far fetched it isn’t worth watching. But, resist that desire to put it back on the shelf and rent it anyway.
Of all the 80s science fiction films to …

One of the biggest signs of spring in the Vancouver area of BC is the opening of one of the few remaining drive-in theatres in the province, the Twilight Drive-In in Langley. I have gone to movies there when I was a teen-ager, many years ago now, but as …

Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …

The Disney trilogy concludes with High School Musical 3: Senior Year, directed by the fabulous Kenny Ortega. There are songs galore and the typical high school angst of where to go to college and dealing with potential farewells of forever. This was the only one of the …

I don’t usually like to watch movies from the seventies or eighties; but I made an exception and watched the movie “Foxes” today which was released in nineteen eighty. The first thing which attracted me to it too ewas the fact that it starred a much younger version of …

Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …

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 …

“Mr. Brooks” is a psychological thriller about a serial killer from MGM. The movie is in English, filmed in color and lasts 120 minutes. The movie carries an R rating for violence, nudity, and graphic sex. The movie is supposed to be set in Portland, Oregon, but was actually …

Disney’s remake of the cartoon series into real life with animation. In this movie, a dog assigned to the bomb squad makes his entrance by falsely detecting a bomb that turns out to be a leg of ham. Disgraced by his findings, he left the force after a series …

Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

I checked out “No Smoking” first day, first show with big expectation from a promising star cast and a promising director. I don’t no what went wrong with director Anurag Kashyap for making such a bad movie.
The story, what should I say, is baseless. Even after two hours …

I will admit that I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie. At first I didn’t realize that Nelson George developed this film which was based on his sister’s battle with being diagnosed as HIV-positive. Starring Queen Latifah in the lead role, I …

I didn’t quite know what to expect from Zombieland, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be pretty entertaining and thought it was to be one of the better comedies to come out of the last few years.
I love end-of-the-world type cinema …

We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …

Cruella strikes again! Ably played by Glenn Close, Cruella de Vil is released from rehab where she was sent at the end of the original 101 Dalmatians movie which preceded this one. She is supposedly completely cured of her fur-fettish - especially the one involving spots! To show how …

‘Catch a fire’ is a movie directed by Philip Noyce. The actors are Derek, Tim and Bonnie. The film is about a young man named Patrick. He has been accused of carrying out an attack against government. Now there is a policeman named Vos. Vos is trying hard to …

The 2008 film “Jumper” starring Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christenson, looked to be a great action movie that would catch the viewers attention. The actors in the film are known for many other roles in which they really shined, and I had anticipated that the same would be said …

The 1999 film “Star Wars: Phantom Menace” was just as wonderful as the other films before it. I didn’t think that I would be a fan of the Star Wars movies, but each time I watch a new one I find myself falling in love with them all over …

Recently I had been to watch the movie Spiderman part 3 that is marvellous. Wow the fight seens and, the costume is very good. I liked the movie a lot. I never miss the spider man movies. I have seen all the parts of …

For all you horror fans out there, if you want to see a genuinely creepy movie that you will not forget, then rent “Alice, Sweet Alice.” In this movie, a young girl (played by Brooke Shields in one of her first roles) is murdered in church on the day …

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 …

Before I watched the movie Final Destination 4, I expected that it would but the first three to shame. When I saw it as one of the coming attractions in the theatre when I went to see the movie District Nine, it appeared to be crammed with great visial …

My daughter absolutely loves the Bratz. It doesn’t matter if it’s a doll or the latest movie, she needs to have it.
When Bratz Kids Sleepover Adventure came out on DVD, I was a good parent and kept my promise to rent it for her. Big mistake.
The movie has …

When I saw the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” advertising I ignored it, simply because I thought that it was going to be one of those college humour shows that is full of lots of sex and sex jokes that I would generally not be interested in. However, …

The movie Hush starring Jessica Lange and Gwyneth Paltrow in the main roles is a good movie in the genre of drama with an underlying thriller element. The movie though is good has a predictable story and the pace of the movie is a bit slow. But nevertheless it …

Absence of Malice is a marvelous Paul Newman movie. He plays Michael Gallagher, the son of a late mafia boss. He’s not in the business, but one day he picks up the newspaper and sees that his name has been plastered all over it with a bunch …

Terminator 4 had lot of loud noises, cool sound effects and no redeeming quality whatsoever. This movie was one of the worst of 2009. Terminator Salvation, aka Terminator 4 was even more predicable that the third in the series. I am a big fan of Christian Bale, …

I watched the movie Hairspray this evening. This was the 2007 updated version. I have to admit that I did not really like the original movie. I did not expect too much from this version.
Hairspray is a musical/ comedy.
I have to say though in my opinion, …

After watching The Witch last month, my anticipation in watching horror films grew more and more, not because I thought The Witch was a good film but because I realized, not all horrors are scary anyway. The Witch was very lackluster in providing the thrills, “relying on just the visuals …

Well I decided to go see this movie with the girl day after opening day and the theater was packed with excitement and I can not lie I was ready and in the mood for a good laugh and this movie did not fail or that at all.
The …

I recently saw this movie for the first time and truthfully I didn’t like it very much at all. In case you don’t know, “AVP” stands for “Alien Versus Predator”. I did remember the alien from the Alien series of films, but I didn’t recall the Predator at all. …

The film begins when a car crashes through the floor of a desolate house. Five people find themselves in the basement, but how did they get there and why?
This film is a complete ripoff of Tarantino’s Resvoir Dogs, with the exception that it is set in a different environment, …

The Hangover is a great movie. But of course, do not follow what these guys have done. Basically they are on a romp for a guy’s night out, so to speak for the about to be married friend.
But things took a wrong turn when the groom …

I must admit, I have never been much of a Will Smith fan…until this movie. With so few human interaction scenes (for most of the movie, he is with a dog), he pulled off the lonely, depressed person very well. The storyline is amazing and, at the …

Even if we have never before seen Star Wars, we are still familiar with the basic plot of the film and how much of an impact they have had on generations. Until recently, I had only seen one Star Wars movies, and it was the newer ones that came …

I received the movie “Stepbrothers” in my mail from blockbuster by mail a few days ago and watched it that day. Overall it was a good movie. My only complaint about it is that I felt like something was missing in it. I also think they showed too many …

Don’t make my mistake and watch the movie “Waiting ” I don’t know why I actually bothered to spend two hours of my time watching a movie that did go any where! I should have stopped the movie the moment I saw Ryan Reynolds on the screen. I saw …
