Moulin Rouge (2001)

This movie is a musical based on the love shared between a writer and a cabaret actress. How quaint that most musicals encompass the same thing. This movie, while it did manage to grasp quite a few nominations for Oscars, only managed to scrape through with winning only two …

Donnie Darko movie

The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …

Lake Placid movie

I can rememebr when the movie “Lake PLacid” was released in 1999, it seemed to gain a lot of attention from my peers; but since I didn’t see it advertising to be released in theatres I wasn’t yearning to watch it as much as some of my friends were. …

Get Smart (2008 movie)

Get Smart isn’t the latest film out. It actually is a pretty old film as it was released in 2008. Nevertheless, my iTunes balance was running low and I wanted to use my remaining balance on a cheap film.
Get Smart remind of of Johnny English. This movie really …

Urban Legend

Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …

The Holiday movie

The main ingredients of the movie “The Holiday” is a great cast of actresses and a simple, straight forward romantic story. The main topic of this movie is about love the beauty of falling in love and the heart break it brings when we fall out of love. …

The Duchess movie

I just finished watching this movie at home and I should say that I like the performance of Keira Knightley who does the led role of Georgina Spencer Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire. I think Keira did a marvellous job because she looks very elegant and beautiful in …

Movie : Clash of the Titans

I recently heard about the new Clash of the Titans movie that is supposed to be coming out at theaters soon. I’m not big on movie re-makes. But, seeing the previews did make me want to see the original 1981 version again so I was glad when I could …

Dragnet

When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …

Pocahontas

I love the story of Pocahontas even in the book so when I had the chance to see the animated movie I really never missed it. I enjoyed watching it since it is a different kind of story and also it has a combination of reality and magic. I …

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 …

Movie Surf’s Up

I have always loved a good kid’s animation, but this movie really re-defines the lines in animation. Surf’s Up had amazing graphics, great animation and detail, a great storyline, and a whole lot of good, clean humor. This is probably one of the best kids (and adult’s!) movies of …

Happy People: A Year in the Taiga - Documentary

Werner Herzog is behind the documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. The film is one of Herzog’s latest documentaries. Like most documentaries, the scenes in the documentary are constructed around other well-received footage. Happy People: A Year in the Taiga is supplied …

The finale of the first season goes to great lengths to impress us and tease us as well. Sarah and Derek try to neogiate with a mysterious businessman for the Turk device but they get more than what they bargained for. Apparently, this guy doesn’t want to sell it …

3 Idiots (2009 Bollywood Film)

I am not really a fan of Bollywood/Indian films when I was young, but overtime, I was able to enjoy their weird incorporated singing and dancing which was truly their signature.
I am also glad that I wasn’t able to watch 3 Idiots long before I took up an engineering course …

Father of the Bride 2

Father of the bride 2 is the sequel to the movie Father of the bride. It is a good movie and is very entertaining one. Though it is not as good as the first movie it is good nevertheless. It has some good performances by Steve Martin and Diane …

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew are back in another action-packed adventure that will have you absolutely begging for more come credit-roll. In response to the phenomenally good reception of the first Pirates film, director Gore Verbinski took it upon himself to create and release a sequel three years …

Movie Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf with Michael J Fox.
The title of this movie pretty much explains the story line, but the magic that somehow is associated with little Michael is hard to explain. This film was fun to watch over and over again and can only be …

Finding Neverland - (starring Johnny Depp)

Finding Neverland is one of the best movies that I watched and it featured both extremely talented and amazing actress and actor. They are none other than Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet.
Johnny’s character is so strikingly handsome and one of the best moments that I love would …

Batman The Dark knight

Last year when I saw Batman begins I was eagerly waiting for the next sequel of Batman when Jim Gordon in the end of the movie showed a joker card to Batman and told him that a person left a card for him. I saw the first day first …

Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes

Reggie goes goth in Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes, and I’m not crazy about it because she ignores her precious golden retriever, JD. While it’s a temporary condition, it simply turns me off. I don’t like animals suffering in any way due to human eccentricities.
The Daisy …

The Avengers movie

This is a the film version of a classic tv-series from the 1960s. Uma Thurman is a sexy british agent and Ralph Fiennes her partner. Sean Connery is the villain who threatens to destroy the whole world with some kind of weather machine. I haven’t seen the tv-series myself, …

Me, Myself & Irene (starring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger)

I watched Me, Myself & Irene 2 times actually and the first time I watched, I didn’t really have a clue as to what the story is all about because I wasn’t concentrating at all. During that time, the movie story was shown on my local TV and I …

A Christmas Story

When I first saw A Christmas Story a few years ago, I thought it was a great film. Now, after every television station has managed to show it at least a dozen times, I’m a bit burned out on it.
Overall, this is a unique holiday film in the sense …

The Birds movie

The Birds is a movie about people on an island where the birds, for no reason, go wild and begin attacking everyone. The Birds starts off quite normally, with a beautiful young woman shopping at a pet store for Mynah birds. That is the irony of this film, and …

War of the Worlds-2005

The recent War of the Worlds movie starring Tom Cruise is one of the best big budget movies I have seen in a long time.
The story centers around a divorced man (Tom Cruise) who lacks responsibility in his life. When aliens invade, he is forced to take charge to …

Django Unchained movie

Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …

Cassanova movie

I’ve always heard of people referring to womanizers as “Cassanovas” but I never knew where that reference originated. I always wondered if there was actually a man in history who was named Cassanova and used to be a smooth talking womanizer but I had never actually taken the time …

Jack Black

OK, I know I should like Jack Black. But, I just can�t seem to find any respect for him.
The problem I have is he�s one dimensional. He can�t do drama or action. It has to be comedy. Even when he tries to be serious, you can�t help but think …
