The Man in the Iron Mask
“The Man in the Iron Mask” comes with a lot of luggage for Leonardo diCaprio. The actor was involved in this movie project after he was denied the pleasure of being nominated for an Oscar for his interpretation of Jack in “The Titanic”. His reaction was deemed immature by …

The Reader movie
The movie was an adaptation from the novel “Der Vorleser” , which was written by German law professor Bernhard Schlink.
The movie garnered nominations in the recently concluded Academy Awards and won the best actress trophy to Kate Winslet for Best Actress. After watching the Oscars, I was really …
Gone Girl (psychological thriller movie)
Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …

Fellowship of the Ring
I am reviewing the movie, The Fellowship of the Ring, which was released in 2001. This is the first of three movies Peter Jackson created after JRR Tolkien’s masterpiece. The story involves four hobbits, who quest out on an adventure to destroy Dark Lord Sauron’s ring, which …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not bad of a movie, if you ask me. Starring Matthew McConaughey, the beautiful Jennifer Garner and the very talented Michael Douglas, this is a movie not to be watched for those loving romantic comedies.
There are quite a few laughable plots, especially …
Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
Zombeavers, horror movie
With a movie title like this, you have a pretty good idea of what sort of movie you’re in for. This isn’t going to be a good movie in the traditional sense, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be an entertaining one.
Odd as it may sound, it …
Fantastic Four Movie
We recently rented and watched Fantastic Four. I hated Spider Man and then loved Spider Man 2 and 3, so I figured I would give comic book movies another chance. Fantastic Four was a decent movie. It had good flow, a nice and friendly end, and of course a …
Chronicle Movie
“Chronicle” is a very encouraging type of film; especially, during its beginning scenes. It is light and witty. The film is presented in a very one-sided angle—”so to speak. The audience witnesses: shots taken by the film’s character in way of his digital camera …
Movie Freedomland
One of my favorite movies. It kept me interested and entertained. I wasn’t bored throughout any of it. The ending was really good and surprised me, I didn’t expect the ending of it and I think that is one reason I liked it so much, because it was a …

Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
Movie Review of the Machinist
When Christian Bzle emerged from Hollywood to don the cape of Batman, the critics were at first skeptical, then heaped paeans of praise for his acting. It wasn’t as popular as Superman– hell, it was a portrayal of a dark character set against a dark backdrop. Between …
Death Proof
Death Proof is the first “episode” of the recent grindhouse. Now personally i didn’t like this movie at all, it was very long, it took forever to get to the action, there are litterarily like 50 minutes of talking which lead to no real action. The movie itself is …
Movie: When in Rome

Troll 2 movie
The movie I am about to review is considered one of the worst movies of all timec called Troll 2.This is for a very good reason.I will give my own personal reasons why the movie is so horrible.
The plot is essentially about Goblins that turn humans into plant-like matter …

Movie Halloween
We recently switched to Direct TV in our house and, because of that, we have a few movie channels that we didn’t have before (only for a couple months though).
One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …
Fighting (starring Channing Tatum)
It is really such a pity because Fighting (starring Channing Tatum) could have been so much better. In more ways than one, it has a special potential for being a great fighting movie but it fails to. Even Channing Tatum’s handsome looks could not make me really happy …

Spice And Wolf Episode 2 (Anime)

That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …
Alexander film
I love films based on historical figures. However, after finally watching the movie Alexander, I have to say I was a bit disappointed.
Based on the life of Alexander the Great, the movie focuses a bit too much on the guy who conquered the known world and not enough on …
Screwed movie
Screwed is a very funny movie and I couldn’t suppress my laughter throughout the movie. It has so many comedy scenes one after another that people can not control their laughter. I faced the same problem throughout the movie when I watched in theater some years ago. It …

The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
Following the happenings of Pitch Black, this movie continues the tale of Riddick, a criminal and killer the likes the universe is not ready for. The short stop on the dark planet that gave us an inside look of what Riddick is capable of is only a glimpse into …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003 movie)
In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …
Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …

Although …

I went to see the Killer Elite movie with my friends. I was really looking forward to seeing it when I learned about the cast: Jason Statham, Robert De Niro and Clive Owen- all mega star actors that I love and respect. When you can a cast like that, …
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …
Hancock
After watching the movie “Hancock”, you will understand immediately while Will Smith expressed interest in interpreting this role. “Hancock” is a superhero movie without the superhero clichés. This together with the talent of actors, Charlize Theron and Jason Batman and great action moments, make this movie one of this …
9 Songs movie
This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …

This flick is a nice blend of action and comedy. The comedy however is not in performance, but the characters do have a good sense of humor. The story’s abt two cops Tango and Cash, that were wrongly accused in a case, and are convicted and send to …
Non-stop (2014 Film)
Non stop is one of those movies that does a great job in making you paranoid in your everyday routine. After watching it, I was left with deep thoughts and a deeper insight about flying on airplanes. It’s said to be an action, mystery, thriller. Seeing that Liam Neeson was …
