Movie: “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”
This movie was supposed to be the new “funniest movie of the year” but due to bad writing, bad characters, and bad plot, it fell sadly short.
Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks play Zack and Miri, friends/roommates who have fallen on hard times. Randomly, they decide to film a pornographic …
The Hills Have Eyes
This is one of the scariest remake movies I’ve ever seen. The original was filmed in 1977. The author of this Horrible tale is Wes Craven. The theme is nothing supernatural but mainly of unlikely people and it’s rather gross. When I look at it, …

A Shark’s Tale

Contagion Movie (2011)
After seeing the Contagion movie, the best word I have to describe is it disturbing. But for a moment movie this is not necessarily a bad thing. The most important thing for a movie is to make you feel and to make you care about what happens to the …
Dude where’s my car?

I love this movie! Management, starring one of my most favorite actress, Jennifer Aniston, is such a good movie. Alongside her is Steve Zahn and both of them have great chemistry together. I watched this movie and I thought it’s going to be a bad one, but surprisingly …
The Other (PG, 1972) movie
“The Other” is a very old film that a friend of mine told me about. It involves a little boy with a “twin” living in Sweden. What I liked about the movie is its “Wicker Man” (original) feel. The foreign land does that for the viewer. …

blockbuster .com
I actually like Blockbuster a lot more than Netflix because you can return the movies to the store instead of mailing them in and waiting to receive new movies. Not only can you return the movies that were mailed to you to the store, but you can also trade …

Murphy is convincing as a woman who travels to Japan to be with her boyfriend and, after getting dumped …

I sat down to watch Tropic Thunder last night with my wife with a high expectation. this was mainly due to the cast, the sheer number of big names in the movie guarenteed a high audience. Everyones favourite comedians were there and i wasnt disapointed.

Princess Diaries Movie
When this movie came out, Anne Hathaway was pretty young. She was playing a sixteen year old who has no idea that she is a princess in a royal court. In school, she is not popular at all. She has really frizzy afro-like hair and the only person she …
The Banger Sisters
In all honesty I don’t know why Susan Sarandon decided to participate in an average movie such as “The Banger Sisters”. The only reason that comes to my mind is that, after 11 years, from her successful movie “Thelma & Louise”, she thought this movie will have the same …
Glitter movie
Beautiful and gifted young female singer longs for and eventually achieves great fame, but, in her quest, faces loss and tragedy in love and life.
This is a typical formula movie plot used for decades in films, with the exception that it exceeds the others in sheer awfulness.

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 …
Movie Music and Lyrics
“Music and Lyrics” is not the best movie for Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore; however it is not a movie that you must ignore. The best aspect of this movie is the music. I keep remembering and singing the songs for hours after watching.
The story of this movie is …

Movie: Iron Man 2

Movie War

Movie Collateral
In the movie “Collateral” one can see the actor, Tom Cruise with a strange hair colour and the actor, Mark Ruffalo with gel in his hair and sporting an earring. Apart from these funny facts, “Collateral” had to be a Tom Cruise drama movie; however I felt that the …

Movie War of the Worlds (2005)

The Appearing, 2014 movie

But, this poorly crafted horror film intertwined with crime disheartened me to a great extent. Having watched The Appearing along with too many other horror …
Robinson Crusoe movie
This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film. Buñuel was otherwise a filmmaker who never let the audience’s needs come in conflict with his artistic vision, and only created what he felt was important. His version of Robinson Crusoe shows that …
