Perfect Stranger
I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film “Perfect Stranger” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis.
The story of the film is completely enthralling with twists and turns all over the place. It left me unable to move, just waiting for the next sequence of …
Beauty and The Beast: Blu Ray Edition
One of my all time favourite child hood movies is Beauty and The Beast, so when it came out as a blu-ray edition over The Christmas period I jumped at the chance to be able to purchase it.
With the package came three separate DVD’s. The movie in …
Transformers
There Fight. Our World. Transformers was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, and was ecstatic to learn that a live action movie was being made. That excitement dropped slightly when I learned who the director is, Michael Bay. Bay is a hit or miss …
Wild Wild West
This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.
It’s shocking that this was …

Pink Panther 2
My family loved the first Pink Panther movie starring Steve Martin (I actually enjoyed the originals too) so we couldn’t wait to see the sequel last night. In fact, it was in our DVD player 5 minutes after I got home from work.
It was an OK movie but it …
Bonnie and Clyde (DVD Movie)
I call this my 1967 DVD classic movie and I never get tired of watching this endless times. Love both Bonnie and Clyde and if you are past 20 years of age and still don’t know who Bonnie and Clyde is, then you are really a geek, geez.
These 2 …
Josie and the Pussy Cats (2001)
This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …
The Parent Trap III movie
Since The Parent Trap II worked with viewers, Disney decided to try it again with The Parent Trap III. My argument up front is that to do so, they had to mess with Susan’s story. In PT II, she was happily married. Here, she’s single again. …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …
The Women movie
I have seen this movie when my cousin rented it back in the holidays. It is another chick flick, Sex and The City-ish kind of movie. Well, its my kind of movie. I love watching pretty women who deals with issues of life including marriage, friendship, parenthood and career. This …
Carnage (2011 drama movie)
I only became familiar with the movie Carnage when I saw it being aired on Starz Cinema some time last year. I was looking for something interesting and unique to watch, and it was the plot that drew me to it. While watching the movie I realized that it was …

The Witch (2016 Horror Film)
I rarely, rarely watch horror films. In fact I can’t recall the last time I watch a horror film alone. I just don’t see any point at all watching something that just do nothing but make you feel afraid and scared and get away with it.
At 19 I must admit …
Raise Your Voice
I watched Raise Your Voice starring Hilary Duff the other day and it was not a bad story altogether. In fact, I enjoyed it very much. Her character name in this story is Terri Fletcher (nice name, I must say) and she goes to this school where music …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The best way to describe the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is a good look through Greek traditions in a comical way. Originally, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was a one women play. When Tom Hank’s wife, Nina Wilson saw it, she told her husband how great it …
Transformers (2007)
Michael Bay does it again with Transformers. With his known use of 100% authentic special effects, who wouldn’t love his movies? He further proves it with this installment of Transformers, taken from the toys, games and old TV series. Starring Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox, Transformers takes you through …

The movie “Before Sunrise” is an excellent example that you don’t need to do a lot of stunts or spend a lot of money to make a great movie. This movie shows that a simple and straight forward story with two great actors and good filming crew can do …

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
I think this animated film is perhaps one of the never-ending type of movies that I will definitely be catching a lot of times in this year 2008. I think that perhaps 2008 will be a very good year of animations and the likes and in this very funny …

Herbie Fully Loaded
Growing up, I was a die hard Herbie fan. So, when they made another Herbie movie, starring Lindsay Lohan, I had to watch it because… it was Herbie!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much. I thought they would probably deviate too far from the original genius of the …
Sergeantt York Movie

This is one of the clearest examples of pure american propaganda. The whole point of the film is to proclaim …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is a movie about a panda (no surprises there) named Po who aspires to become a kung fu warrior.
Not surprisingly enough, the new blockbuster from DreamWorks, was an enormous sucess. The usual deal from DreamWorks, high quality animation (great details), funky characters, occational gags… …
Big Fish movie
I think Big Fish was a pretty good movie, yet it was a sad story. I really thought the stories told in the movie Big Fish were just great. This movie has a different type of setting. Big Fish is about an old man who is dying of cancer and …

The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
Marie Antoinette (2006)
I always support the movie with female director and that’s why I was attracted to see this movie when the first time I know that Sofia Coppola has a new movie about Marie Antoinette.
As the beginning, I just want you to know that I love the trailer of this …
Teeth (UR, 2007) movie
I was a little taken aback by this subject matter, and perhaps you might be too, if you venture to watch this obscure horror film. Vagina Dentata is the latin term for a dreadful condition in which a woman’s vagina is lined with teeth - yes, real …

Wicker Park is a very good remake of a French movie that was extremely successful. But as we already know that Americans can not help until they have a copy which does not upset us, and it would be wise to enjoy this movie romantic, exciting and …

I am reviewing The Creeping Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …

The Incredibles.
This is the first Super Heroes’ film I have ever seen, that has a focus on a family.
This is very positive, as our children can see and extract from the film, the idea of na united family, solving their problems always joined.
The story runs in Metroville, a place …

Iron Man
Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …
13 Going on 30
13 Going on 30 is a delightful comedy that has been done many times before, but still succeeds in getting plenty of laughs.
The movie is about a young girl, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) who goes to bed as an uncool thirteen-year-old and wakes up the next morning in an unfamiliar …
Dady’s Little Girls
Daddy’s little girls is one of Tyler Perry’s heartwarming movies, about a loving father who is doing all he can for his three little girls. My husband and i watched it together on the couch. I think he cried as much as i did.

Chronicles of Narnia, one big bore
When the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe came out, I remember wanting to go see it at the theater only to find it was always sold out. Now that I’ve seen it on DVD, I’m glad I didn’t waste my money.
I’m not really sure …
Rhapsody in August movie
One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …
Who Shot Patakango? movie
From 1989, Who Shot Patakango? is a sort of odd coming of age movie about teenagers attending high school in Brooklyn, New York. The star of note was Sandra Bullock as Devlin Moran. Following are some thoughts on this production.
–I actually saw this movie years ago, but …
