Last Samurai Movie
The Last Samuria is truely a box office hit, no doubt about it. When it comes down to onscreen action, this film will leave you with goose-bumps, especially the scene where the ninjas attacked the village (guess you will have to watch it to find out exactly what happened). …
Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
The Heartbreak Kid
I’m a Ben Stiller fan so I’ve seen almost all his films. I love him most in Meet the Parents and hated him in Zoolander. I must say that I didn’t really like his latest movie The Heartbreak Kid, a remake of a 1972 comedy. Directed by the Farrelly …
A walk to Remember
I’d watched this movie when I was in college together with my college friends.
A very touching and heartwarming story.And I could watch it over and over again. I have to admit I shed tears watching this sad,sweet story of Landon and Jamie..My best movie of all time..
This is …

Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surefr
I had not seen the previous part of this movie series, so I was hoping that I would not miss out on some related scenes. Thankfully this movie does not have much relevance to the previous movie. A person can watch this without having to watch the earlier part.
The …
Ghost World comedy
Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …
Eagle Eye movie
I just watched Eagle eye and it was an alright movie overall. I think it could have been a lot better, in my opinion. I think it could have been a lot more original, and interesting. I was interested to see what happens in the movie but not like …

Grave of the Fireflies
This “anime” film from Japan by Isao Takahata deals with a lot more realistic theme than those found in the most famous anime creator Miyazaki. Grave of the Fireflies tells the heartbreaking story of some children who survived the nuclear attack on Hiroshima in the 1940s. It is very …
Argo (2012 Oscar-Winning Thriller Film)
Ever since watching Alfonso Cuaron’s highly-acclaimed suspense space film “Gravity” in cinemas, I have searched my way into watching more suspense/thriller films. I love the rush feeling of my heartbeat as I see protagonists trying to survive.
Argo was that kind of film. The first time I watched the movie (2 …
Silent Hill (2006 movie)
I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …

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 …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …
Frequency movie
I watched this movie called frequency today on one of the movie channels. It was a pretty good movie overall. I enjoyed watching it and it got my attention. I really got into the movie in the middle of it. Dennis Quad plays in the movie and so does …
The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
Erin Brokovich Movie
Starring Julia Roberts (as Erin Brokovich) and Albert Finney, this movie is based on the true story of Erin Brokovich-Ellis (who makes a special appearance in the film ~ watch for her, as a waitress named, ironically, Julia). Aaron Eckhart is also in the film.
I loved this movie. …
W. movie
I went to see this film because it looked interesting, I thought it was interesting they would take shots at W eaven before his term had ended. The movie chronicles George W Bush’s life, growing up and eventually becoming president, it is one of those movies where you aren’t …
Bobby movie
The movie “Bobby” is obviously one of the most star-studded movies of all time, but it isn’t that the stars are famous, it’s that they are good actors. From long-time favorites like Anthony Hopkins and Lawrence Fishburn to knew favorites like Lindsay Lohan, Shia Labeof, and …
Blank Check movie
I completely forgot about this movie until some time recently when I was having a discussion with a few of my friends about children’s movies from the nineteen nineties. The name of the movie Blank Check came up and I decided to write about it. It was not my …
Fun with Dick and Jane movie
Yes, this movie was funny but I miss the old Jim Carrey. This is not nearly as funny as some of his prvious hits like Liar, Liar or Ace Ventura. This movie is more up to par with Bruce Almighty so it definitely has its funny parts …
Candy Man
My wife loaded the movie Candy Man on our Netflix player about a month ago because she remembered watching it as a kid and she wanted me to watch it with her. We ended up waiting until the kids were in bed this past weekend to watch it because …
Movie Eastern Promises
The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …
Accidental Hero
“Accidental Hero” is a great movie with a good story involving three great talented actors, Dustin Hoffman, Gena Davis and Andy Garcia. We have seen Hoffman in a lot of different characters; however I believe that there is something very special about his acting part in this movie. …
Entrapment movie
As much as I thought I would enjoy the movie Entrapment, I will start out by saying it took me more than a month to actually watch it from beginning to end mostly because I couldn’t stand to be bored for more than a few minutes at a time.
Sean …
Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …

You Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I always get overly entertained and would laugh like mad whenever I see performances by Adam Sandler. He has done it again this time and made me laugh like a crazy hyena in the newly title and newly released, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.
Zohan is …

Pirates of the Carribean- Dead Man’s Chest
It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …
Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.
What fascinated me the most was the appearance of Cedric Hardwicke as Dr. Thomas Arnold. At the …

The Love Guru
I’ve always liked Mike Myers as a comedian. However, some of his movies haven’t been anywhere near as good as his earlier films like Wayne’s World and Austin Powers Man of Mystery. So, when his movie The Love Guru came out, I ended up believing the critics when they …

Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (UR, 2006) movie
I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …
Dead of Night movie
An early sound horror film divided in several episodes, directed by different people. These are stories told by a bunch of people who meet in the beginning of the film. They are all supernatural in some sense. Most of these episodes are quite mediocre and doesn’t interest me a …

Fame (2009) movie
Recently, I watched the 2009 remake of the innovative film, Fame, which spawned a hit TV series. I wasn’t sure how I’d react to it. I liked the original movie, and I adored the series, so this movie had a lot to live up to.
The first thing …

Made in the 1980’s, After Hours tells the story of one man’s nightmarish trip into the Soho area.
