Taken, movie
Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …

HBO miniseries Band of Brothers
This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …

What a disappointment! Over the weekend hubby and I decided to binge watch some movies that were on our “to see” list. One of these movies was The Transporter Refueled movie, the newest of the Transporter series. We’ve seen all of the other Transporter movies and we loved each one …
Album : Metallica - Master of Puppets (1986)

Alexander movie
For about three years or so the film “Alexander” was one of my favourite movies until I realised recently that it might not necessarily have been because it was a good movie. However, there is a good chance that I liked it because three of my celebrity crushes at …
Movie Click
Usually I love movies that Adam Sandler are in. He is usually really funny and always makes me laugh. I only remember laughing in one part in this movie where the kid gets hit in the face with the ball. Another thing I didn’t like about it is that …

Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …

Cecilia (Mia Farrow), a lonely, unhappily married woman, seeks escape in movies. One particular film, “The Purple Rose of Cairo,” becomes her favorite. She comes to see it so often that one of the characters in the movie, Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), notices her and, driven by curiosity, leaves …
Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …

Delta Farce

The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (hereafter “Fellowship”) is the first movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In many ways, it is also the best of the three. Of course each has its own unique strengths. There is not a …
Salem’s Lot (2004, TNT)
Rob Lowe stars in this 2004 adaptation of Stephen King’s hit novel of the same name, Salem’s Lot. I was apprehensive about this movie, since so many remakes fall short of the original (understatement). In any event, the story unfolds the way it does in …
Rosewater (drama movie)
When I heard that John Stewart was writing and directing a movie, I was eager to see it. I assumed that since he’s a comedian and media critic the movie would be a comedy of sorts. I guess I should have probably read up on the movie first or at …

In this movie, Charles Muntz …

Ladyhawke (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “Ladyhawke” was not only a strong dose of fantasy that touches everyone’s inner child and magical yearning for something powerful that can’t possibly be real, as well as beautiful love story that was heartwarming to watch. Mathew Broderick, a very young Mathew Broderick, as well as …
Faeries movie
I watched the movie “Faeries” a very long time ago in about the year 2001 when I had just gotten cable television. I think the first time I saw the movie too was one Saturday on the cable television channel SciFi. I thought it was different from many …
Sapphire Girls
My wife picked up the movie Sapphire Girls the other day because she read the back of it and it sounded like an intriguing drama.
It turned out to be nothing more than a soft core porn film; and not a very good one at that.
The movie, which is about …

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 …
Movie Dr. Jekyll and The Wolfman (1971)
Ok, has a movie ever had a title that told you everything you wanted to know about the film’s contents like this one?

Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist
What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …
Anime: Elfen Lied
If the audience does not mind gorey/violent scenes, then this anime is actually quite enjoyable. This anime features diclonius, a type of mutant human with two horns, living amongst human beings. They are constantly shunned because of the unusual appearance and abilities. They have invisible arms called ‘vectors’ that …
She’s the Man (movie)
A few years ago, when She’s the Man was in theaters, I saw a few previews for the movie. I thought the movie looked dumb and unrealistic. However, I decided to give it a chance because my friends wanted to go see it. I am very …

As usual, this review will spoil no plot details, so feel free to read without any spoilers.

During that time, I believe I …

Movie: “Hostel II”
Although it takes a little while to get going, “Hostel II” was a horrifying and satisfying sequel to the first movie.
