The Net
Up to 1995 we were so used of associating the actress Sandra Bullock to romantic movies. During this year, Bullock decided to show her talents in a different movie that included drama, patios and action. This is what “The Net” is all about.
The story of this movie is about …

I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …

Julie & Julia movie
I am great fan of the actress Meryl Streep and Nora Ephran movies. ‘Julie & Julia’ brings these two talented woman working together in a very special movie for both of them.
I believe that ‘Julie & Julia’ represented a different type of movie for the director Nora Ephran …
Paranormal Activity movie
As Paranormal Activity 2 is coming out soon, I thought it was time to sit down and write a review over the first film. Surely everyone by now has been given one opinion or another; this movie is absolutely terrifying and believable or it’s about as scary as an …
The Aristocrats Movie
I had never heard of the Aristocrats joke before this movie came out, which means I am probably like most people, since this seems to have been an in-joke among comedians that never really made it out into the popular culture prior to this film. I did find …
Brooklyn (2015 Film)
Brooklyn is one of my most anticipated films of 2015. Particularly because of the huge buzz it made when it premiered in this year’s Sundance Festival and every audience and critics who attended loved it very much!

Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …
Leaving Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …
The Happening (2008)
The Happening (2008)
Director: M. Night Shyamalan. Featuring: Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel.

The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
This movie has been around for a few nears now but I only just watched it recently and all I knew about the Mothman was from Youtube videos which seemed really unbelievable and usually look fake. Before I watched the movie I read a bit on the real …

2001: A Space Odyssey movie
Whenever I read reviews about this Stanley Kubiak film, I keep hearing about how it’s a classic and how it changed the movie industry.

Ichabod movie
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Ichabod. So there’s this school teacher. His name is Ichabod Crane. He comes to a town and is the new person around. He is odd looking. His behavior is strange. He’s thin and scrawny, but seems to have a way with the …

The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
Turkish Star Wars
This movie is seriously an abomination on film. A lot of bad movies fall into two categories.
The first category is “so bad it’s awesome” these are movies that you know stink to high heaven, but you can laugh at the badness. A lot of the movies …
Girl, Interrupted
Girl, Interrupted is a very good attempt by the makers of the movie. The movie which is inspired by the book with the same title, deals with a teenage girl’s experiences at a rehabilitation center during her 18 month stay there. Though the movie doesn’t have a universal appeal, …
The Cable Guy movie
This was a film that was a big disappointment for many when it came out, but has been revalued among certain people and is considered as the funniest film of the whole 1990s by some of my friends. The story is that of a cable guy played by Jim …

Bobby (NR, 2006) movie
Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I had heard of the play Sweeny Todd and then heard of the movie from last year. I was interested in seeing the movie. When I first sat down to view the movie I was curious.
In my opinion, Johnny Depp is a good character actor. I also really …
Walk the Line
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon do a phenomenal job portraying Johhny Cash and June Carter. They even did their own singing, as I found out, which is impressive. They do a fantastic job with everything in this film.
Upon watching the commentary, I was pleased to discover that …

I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …

The film stars Paul Walker and takes place mainly in Antarctica. When a major storm hits and there is not enough room in the plane to transport the scientists, guides and …

I watched this movie on lifetime the other night. Overall it was pretty good but there were a couple of parts that I wish they would have done differently. For instance, there was one part that showed a girl trying to suffocate another girl but they never reveal if …
View from a top movie
“View from the top” is an average movie about making your dreams comes true. It should convey a strong message of empowerment however the film is not that good. This is one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s movies and, may I say, not one of her best since it was a …

Hall Pass (2011 Movie)
Starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, “Hall Pass” is about two guys who get to take a week off from marriage, no strings attached. After watching the trailer, I realized that movies like this are why I get so mad at the male population. A week off marriage? How …

As you may have noticed, the next movie in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, was just released November 20, 2009. I went to the 9:30am showing at my local AMC Theater. I have read all the books for the series. Let me start the reivew by saying, …

Road Trip
When the movie Road Trip first came out, I will confess I wasn’t overly impressed by it. For the most part, it seemed to be pretty much every other college movie I’ve ever seen.
Then, after watching it for about the third time, I think I might have finally realized …
Rocky Balboa
As You all know there is a few films about Rocky (Silvester Stalone), but I think this is a last one. All of those films about Rocky are some kind the same. but every time I watch one of them it always touch my heart so is this film.
Years …
Poison Ivy
I have watched the movie ‘Poison Ivy’. The director is Katt Shea. The actors are Drew Barrymore, Sara and Tom. Sara plays the role of Sylvie and Drew of Ivy. All the actors have performed well.
Sara is a high school student in California. It is here that she makes …
Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
Columbo: No Time to Die movie
There were a string of these Columbo movies that really just didn’t quite cut the mustard for me, and this was one of them. I’m not sure what the problem was. Perhaps it’s the lack of star power, that really charismatic murderer that grabbed your attention and …
Coraline (Animation)
Coraline, the animation movie, is pretty scary. I don’t know if most kids would love to watch this. However, I find this to be like a dark animation or some sort and don’t mind watching.
Kids nowadays are more braver, so I think they can take this. With voice-over …
Pan’s Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth is a very, very interesting story set in a war-fare era. I can�t remember the era, but the story is in a foreign language, and it is a beautiful language of German, Spanish or French, I am not pretty sure.
I think that the Director of this …
Eight Below I
