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 …

ShowPlace 16 movie theater, located at 2815 Showplace Dr., Naperville, IL, is always a pleasure to go to. It is a large, fancy theater with comfortable soft chairs set like in an amphitheater, which gives a much better view. Even on a busy night with some big hit movie …

Krazzy 4 is the movie that recently hit the Bollywood Box Office and was quite impressive. It is the movie which features joy, grief, comedy, social awareness and even to some extent, patriotism. It has a very good picturization with absolute no vulgarity and is suitable for watching with …

My daughter went to Movie Gallery this past weekend and picked out a couple movies from the family section. Since she likes Nickelodeon cartoons, she ended up picking out Nicktoons Halloween to watch.
I’m not sure what my daughter’s obsession with Halloween is but I will admit the DVD does …

The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 is a movie based on the last two books in the sisterhood but the movie does not follow the story line of the books. I absolutely hate when a movie based on a book goes all out of order. What confused me …

God is Great and I am Not is a French movie about love and being lost in different religions. It definitely relates to the “lost souls” nowadays. I guess many young people are living on earth and not sure what they want or what to believe in, …

As a fan of classic horror and comedy films, it’s only natural I consider Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein as a movie favorite. Bud and Lou are in top form, and their antics keep me laughing even during repeat viewings. Yet despite the comedy, I credit the …

The Bag Man is a film which I did enjoy watching despite its technical flaws. What kept me glued to it was the fact that the contents of the bag weren’t revealed until much later. At first, when my friend recommended me to watch The Bag Man I had …

It was a Korean movie that was funny combined with action and suspense as I watched it. I first came to know this Korean actress named Eun Kyun Shin when she portrayed the role of Mantis as one of the big boss or leader of a gang. I did …

‘The pursuit of happiness’ is a movie which is directed by Gabriele Muccino. The main actors are Will Smith, Thandie Newton and Christopher Smith. All these actors have performed well. There is no flaw in their performance.
The main character is Chris Gardener. He struggles to support his family by …

This movie was entertaining but that is about it. If you are bored one night and enjoy movies like this then I would recommend it. This movie isn’t for everyone though. Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon play in it. Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan who decides to vow to …

Synopsis: Three middle-aged friends decide to go on a wild west vacation and participate in a real-life cattle drive.
What I liked about this movie: When this film first came out, I was still in high school and, while I found it a bit funny, I really had no understanding …

Many movies are made in the comedy section each year. Most of them are the same type of comedy and recycle old jokes. When you find that one movie, that made you cry of laughter… you want to tell people and spread the word about it. For me, the …

The Backyard is a straight-to-DVD movie documentary following the sub-culture of Backyard Wrestling, a sub-category of the prfssional wrestling you see on television.

Before the Devil Knows you’re Dead (2007) is directed by Sidney Lumet and stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Ethan Hawke.
Now although I am not a particuarly violent or mean spirited person I have to say that I found this movie very interesting. For one the opening …

Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …

The film in the form of actual action it is my opinion after watching Crank, Jason Statham movies. How not? During the 88 minutes duration movie spectators have given the treat of action for the action scenes without stopping, sooner and actually pumping adrenalin. There is no pretense in …

There was too much gossip and too much type before this movie was even screened and I didn’t really like these type of movies as I don’t like all those Qi stuff, but I still watched this as I would always give something the benefit of the doubt and …

Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …

Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 is the only theater near my house. Its located right on the boarder of a bad neighborhood. I would never go to this theater at night by myself. There is a rough crowd that hangs around it a night. The theaters always smell really bad, …

I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Strangler’s Wood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
Strangler’s Wood is a movie that revolves around the mysterious …

This documentary is characteristic of all of Michael Moore’s films-it is done in a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek style. If you like his movies, then you will love this one, because his style and subject matter are up to his usual standards. For me, he always manages to make me think …

The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …

I’ve seen Renée Zellweger do comedy from the Bridget Jones series, do drama from the movie Cold Mountain and Cinderella Man, and a little bit of both in New in Town and lots more movies she’s been so famous for, but for the first time ever I was surprised …

I watched the Mechanic yesterday and I really loved it. Just like other Jason Statham movies, it really delivers: it is action packed, easy to watch, exciting, really keeping you on the edge of your seat.
What was unusual, and what I really liked about this movie, unlike …

There are movie screenings after which when I get out of the cinema I feel strange for a while. As if I’m in another world. Everything is familiar, but somehow different, strange. That is a clear evidence that I’ve watched something great and insightful. I have immersed myself in …

Clash of the Titans sets the viewer up for grand expectations, but in the end leaves after only giving the viewer various disappointments. Truly CGI and action do not alone make a cinematic masterpiece.
Being a remake of what many consider to be a cult classic, many reviews are …

I wasn’t sure if I would like Silent Hill after learning it was based on a video game, but, after watching it, I have to admit it was one of the scarier movies to come out in a while.
Radha Mitchell plays Rose, a mother who loses her daughter while …

Before Batman Begins hit the big screens, I thought that the original Spiderman was the best superhero movie of all time. This movie, much like Batman Begins, tells the story of how Spiderman became to be and I thought they handled all of the backstory VERY well. …

We got Garfield, Tale of Two Kitties last week and were very impressed. It was a great family movie that had a great mix of action and comedy. I only wish I could have gotten my energetic 2-year-old to watch more of it.
I found myself laughing every few seconds …

This movie is as charming as funny as it is romantic, and it is another film based off of one of Jane Austen’s works. The colors are lovely, and the characters all are just as I would have imagined them after reading the book. It is very accurate, and …

I watched this movie with a few expectations. But suprisingly, they were not met. Even though the movie was scary, I didn’t expect it to unfold as awkwardly as it did. The premise of the film is that a man whose parents were murdered ended up …

I am reviewing the Case of the Exhumed Client, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …

After I watched “All the King’s Men” and wrote my review I read some other reviews. For a minute I thought I had watched a totally different movie. Almost universally “All the King’s Men” was panned by the critics. The movie was not just panned but picked to pieces …

“The Whole Nine Yards” is all out the acting abilities of Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Rosanna Arquette. It is truly unbelievable that Perry was very scared to interpret Nicholas Oseransky in the this movie due to the fact that he was very intimidated by Willis and didn’t know …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …
