Movie Hitch
“Hitch” represents Will Smith’s attempt at romantic fiction and, may I add, not a bad attempt at all! This movie meant a lot for the actors, Eva Mendez and Kevin James because afterwards they received more challenging roles.
In this movie, we see how Smith stars as Alex ‘Hitch’ Hitchens …
The MEXICAN,movie
A good movie that consists of Brad Pitt playing a bad man. He is into drugs theft and a gang. He is sent to Mexico to retrieve a very valuable gun. But in exchange him and his G/F Julia are in deep trouble. Many people …
The Extra Man movie 2010
At one point I wondered why there aren’t more eccentric characters in one film. The answer is that they not occur. It seems that you can not cram a young English teacher with bizarre sexual inclinations, an old bearded playwright gigolo and a mechanic with a high voice who …
Chak De India
Chak De India is inspired from a real life story of ABC,The disgraced Indian Hockey player who rose like a Phoenix and made a magical comeback as a Coach. The character of ABC has been played by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan.
In the movie he is the disgraced captain of …
Blood Sport
Blood Sport is a classic fighting movie. It’s a great 80s movie with a lots of heart in it. I think Jean Claude Van Damme did a great job of acting in the movie. His fighting style and moves were very good. He has a lot of heart and energy …

Birth of a Nation movie
Perhaps the single most influential film ever made is this silent milestone by american pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith. It tells a very complex melodrama taking place during the american civil war. It’s difficult to watch a film like this through the same eyes as the people did when it …

The hunchback of notre dame is a 1996 animated disney adaption of a novel called Notre-Dame de Paris, written by Victor Hugo.The plot is centered on a deformed young man named Quasimodo who deals with his evil and prejudiced stepfather, Frollo and his friendship with a beautiful …
Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …
Fantastic Four (2015)-Movie
The first Fantastic Four was released in 2005, and it was successful. Surprisingly, after 10 years, creators decided to reboot the series. May be because its in fashion these days, sequels, prequels, remakes everything is rocking the box office. Biggest example is Jurassic World which holds the record of biggest …
Movie True Lies
I’m not really a huge Arnold Schwartzenegger fan, but I do love his movie True Lies.
Arnold plays a spy who has to save the world while trying to keep the secret from his family. In the mean time, his wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) is getting bored with their marriage …
Big Eyes (biographical drama movie)
The movie “Big Eyes” was something that I’d been looking forward to seeing for a very long time, partly because it was done by one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton. I also became interested in seeing it because of the brief synopsis I’d heard about the plot. After watching …
Out for Justice (1991)
Steven Seagal plays the role of Gino Felino, and New York Police Department Detective who grew up in the means streets surrounded by the wise guys and made men, basically, he has been around the mob his whole life, but he wanted to be a cop instead of a …
88 minutes movie
This was a really good movie overall. Al Pacino plays in it and he plays a forensic psychiatrist. He gets a phone call and tells him that he only has 88 minutes to live. I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was entertaining, and kept my interests throughout the …
Just Like Heaven
This DVD movie, Just Like Heaven is awesome!! I love modern ghost stories like this, but in a twisted romantic comedy sort of way. Want to know why? There are already enough depressions in this world, so watching a romantic comedy gets thumbs-up first from me anytime …
Movie Alex and Emma
“Alex & Emma” is simply a great romantic movie with comic moments in it. I personally liked a lot the actress, Kate Hudson because she interprets 5 different roles in it. I personally had a great laugh when she interpreted the role of maid and a child minder in …
In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …
Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
Homeless To Harvard: The Liz Murray Story
Homeless To Harvard: The Liz Murray Story is beautifully acted by Thora Birch. Liz Murray is a real, live person who was born into an impoverished, drug addicted family and yet this amazing young woman ended up with a full scholarship from The New York Times to attend Harvard. …
Lovelace (2013 Biography Drama Movie)
I heard about the famous pornstar Linda Lovelace, but I didn’t know much about her. Therefore I was interested when I heard there was a biographical drama in the making for a movie about her life as a pornstar. I wanted to know what made her stand out so much …
Coyote Ugly
What is this movie about? I can answer that in two words: bar dancing. There is nothing else in it, really. No story to speak of, just a few events to get the main character to work at the bar - and then it is all about girls dancing …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
Airplane movie
As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …
Devil Wears Prada
Plot
I watched this movie recently and fell in love with it. The story deals with a Andera who is a fresh graduate, and is looking for job in journalism but to get them she first goes for a job as a second personal assistant under the editor of a …
Quarantine movie
Quarantine must have been written during the writers strike or at least by a nephew of a producer. How a script like this is green lit makes even a hack like me think I could do better. I don’t know if this was …
Brokeback Mountain movie
After much delay, I finally watched Brokeback Mountain on DVD only to find it really wasn’t worth all the controversy or hype.
Overall, it was an OK movie and a unique concept. Two cowboys working together for a summer fall in love with each other. And, the steamy sex scene …
Cool World (1992)
Cool World, hmmm, what is ther that can be said about this movie that is any way, shape or form a good thing? This movie came to us as viewers with such high expectations and with a new thought of actually combining the human element with animation. I was …
House of Wax (2005)
House of Wax, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for horror violence, some sexual content and language. The original release date for this movie was May 6, 2005 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Horror and …
American Psycho
Christian Bale shines in this movie, being a very ‘bad’ person, if you get what I mean. I think he’s a real psycho deal in this movie, and his character is really so convincingly bad, that I think most good looking guys like him are real bad. This …
Up ( 2009 Movie )
I only got a chance to watch this film recently in Blu-Ray albeit it came out in 2009. It caught my attention when this was among the nominated films in the 2010 Academy Awards. There are just a few animated films which makes it to the best picture list, …
The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
Shooter movie
I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …
Donald Duck
There are many cute Walt Disney cartoon characters but I think Donald Duck is the cutest of them all. To those who are not aware his full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck and his birthday was June 9, 1934. With his cutie bird head and a pair of …
The Truth about Cats & Dogs
I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …
Roxanne (1987)
C.D is the fire chief in his town, he takes his job very seriously and even though he has a very rare appendage, he does not let that get in the way of the task he has to do. He is well known and loved in the town by …
Movie: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
My wife decided to have a night out with her friends Friday night and, since I was left home with the kids, I decided to take advantage of it and spend some quality time with my two girls.
My youngest was in bed shortly after my wife left (she gets …
Chuck Vs the Third Dimension
I’m not sure what the problem was, but the three d glasses which were made available for this episode but they didn’t work all that well. I suspect that I sit closer to my TV than most people, so I’m going to assume that was it for now.
The plot …
Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
Terminator 2:Judgement Day Movie

Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …
Monster-In-Law movie
Monster-In-Law is a super cute movie about a meddling mother who will not let her son marry the girl that he loves (or any girl he wants to be with, for that matter). Jane Fonda plays the mom and her son is Kevin. Jennifer Lopez is so cute and …
The Croods (movie)
There was a point in my life where I stayed clear of a lot of 3D animated movies because of two reasons. The first was that I stupidly thought that traditional 2D animation seemed to be becoming obsolete, as well as I just plain didn’t like a lot of …
The Adventures of Milo and Otis
The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
Chronicling the adventure of a cat and dog that are best friends but get separated from each other, the film is an hour of …
Au Revoir Les Enfants (drama movie)
To some extent, the movie is said to be based on director Louis Malle’s remorseful recollection of events in 1944 during the time when the Nazis occupied France. ‘Au Revoir Les Enfants’ is a subtle and yet powerful film that reveals to us the potentials that can befall when …
