Shallow Hal movie
Shallow Hal is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jack Black stars as Hal the shallow guy who only cares about a woman’s body. I gotta say the movie made me laugh. The past where he said tells him to get a woman …
Mirrors
I was expecting a bit more of a thriller in the movie “Mirrors”; it was a good movie, good sequence and the build up of the story is quite convincing. The story is very nice until, of course towards the end where it gets to be confusing and a …
The Ghost and the Darkness movie
My wife and I watched a movie yesterday that we are both huge fans of “The Ghost and the Darkness.”
When this movie first came out, I didn’t even know what it was. I figured it was a movie about a ghost. When I watched it the first time, however, …
Connie and Carla
Connie and Carla is a nice comedy movie. The movie stars Nia Vardalos, Toni Collette and David Duchovny in the main roles and they did a nice job. It is the story of two friends, Vardalos and Collette whose love for musical theater makes them remain jobless. They don’t …

Happy Feet-the movie
Happy Feet is a great little movie. I believe it is great for the young and old. That makes a cartoon movie good. If you can sit there as an adult with your child and enjoy the movie as much as your child. YAY!
Happy Feet is about a penguin …
Borat film
This movie was overall alright. I enjoyed watching some parts of the movie. Some parts not so much. In some parts it was boring or wasn’t really funny. You could also tell that it was a low budget film. There were a couple of parts that were funny. It’s …
Changeling
You know what, I rented the movie Changeling thinking it was going to be a dull film and it turned out to be one of the better movies I’ve watched this month.
This movie, which stars Angelina Jolie, gives an overview of a little-known mass slaying that took place in …
Thirty Days of Night Movie
Just last night, my best friend, my sister, and i watched Thirty Days of Night, a new vampire movie that has recently been released. It was probably one of the best vampire movies that I’d ever seen! It is nothing like those corny vampire movies that are released that …
It Runs in the Family (2003)
The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …
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.
“Glitter” was made …
Hachiko: A dog’s story
As I was searching what movie to download one day, the film “Hachiko: A dog’s story” caught my attention. I am always fond of watching movies in which animals are the main star of the film. This is about the loyalty of a dog named “Hachi” to his master, …
X-Men: First Class, Movie
To be honest I was quite skeptical towards the fifth film in the X-Men series. I found it hard to see James Mcavoy as a young Charles Xavier and the absence of Wolverine also did not help much. What little I saw of the trailer , however , suggested …

The Simpsons Movie
When I saw this movie being released in 2007 I was interested in seeing it in the theatres since I used to watch the animated television series “The Simpsons” when I was younger. I also wanted to go and see it because it was being promoted a lot and …

Whether meeting by chance or intentionally, Jennifer’s characters are always getting caught up in relations that just …
Ouija (2014 Film)
Ouija was another one of those scary movies that was released closer to Halloween. Mostly with the intentions of keeping up with the spirit of scares. I was initially skeptic in the beginning when viewing the trailer one evening on TV. In my mind I had already …
Ice Age: The Meltdown
Watching Ice Age was fairly decent. Ice Age: The Meltdown wasn’t so great. It was somewhat humorous with Queen Latifah’s character, but it wasn’t that great of a movie. The plot lacked depth and the ending was simple. It was a decent children’s movie, but it certainly wasn’t that …
Away From Her
I am really in tears watching this movie. The tears meant that the movie works perfectly well for me. This movie is something that youngsters will not fancy, since it features the older generations. But, it tells me that one day I am going to be …
Ankur Movie
Ankur was directed by Legendary Film maker Shyam Bengal , who is considered the father of Indian parallel cinema. It’s a story of a battle between riches and poor , deals with discrimination, and messages in bringing about radical changes in society. The rich lad of the village, …

The Battle of Algiers (1967) - a militaristic movie
One readily used type of warfare, since the middle 40s has involved resistance fighters– not part of any particular governmental militaristic group. The resistance fighters attack standard armies; then seem to evaporate or blend back into the populous. Further, grenades have been thrown by individuals of civilian …
Mean Girls (2004 Film)
“Mean Girls” the movie that hit big screens in 2004, was and still is a movie that is referred to by not only teenagers and young adults, but by adults as well. In my high school math class, two years after this movie came out, the math teacher called …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I felt sad after watching this movie. I thought it had great promise considering it was dealing with a different kind of addiction. Unfortunately, the script and the beat made the theme unimportant and somewhat irrelevant. I found so many scenes quite slapstick-y and dumb, and I felt irritated …
Lawrence of Arabia Movie
“Lawrence of Arabia,” filmed in 1962, is based on a true story of Thomas Edward Lawrence, a British officer who had attempted to unite wild Arabic tribes into a nation. Lawrence (Peter O’Toole) is sent to spy on King Feisal (Alec Guiness), one of the many Arabic rulers. His …
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone movie
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is one of the series of J.K. Rowling’s 7 series of Harry Potter Saga. Each and every one of them is the world’s best movie ever. I love The Philosopher’s Stone and all of her other movie. You can’t deny that it’s great …
The Town (2010 thriller movie)
I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …
Cheaper by the dozen 1 Movie
Cheaper By The Dozen 1 (the first movie) is a great story. It’s about a family called the Bakers who have twelve children. Tom Baker played by Steve Martin is classic in his part. He stays true to the comical type of actor that he is. Tom’s wife played …

This movie follows roughly the storyline of a Korean movie that I’ve seen 2 or 3 years back (Into the Mirror). …
The Mirror Has Two Faces
I admit I am a great fan of Barbra Streisand. I believe she is simply wonderful in whatever she does. The movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces” in which she is an actress, director, producer and music director is no exception. It comes to no surprise that this movie …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
I love watching movie since then my friends also love it. Watching movie is our hobby, this really gave us great feeling after watching. Since also we love watching movies we are renting cd’s, dvd’s etc., we also buy it sometimes.
And when we our watching we give our …
Madagascar 2
I recently had a go at Madagascar 2 since the release of the first one. I remember the tons of popular names in the show that I really didn’t know who at that point of time.
I used to wonder how a lion and a zebra could co exist too. …
The stupids
The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …
Tale of Despereaux movie
Synopsis: A young mouse and his rat friend swear an oath to help a princess.
What I liked about this movie: While there were quite a few things I didn’t like about this movie (more on that later), I will say the film did have its moments.
For one, Despereaux definitely …

I am reviewing The Case of the Jolly Hangman, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
See No Evil
See No Evil is one of my favorite bad horror movies. I’ve seen it several times on my own and recently introduced a friend to it, only to find out that he loved it as much as I did. The movie has one of those setups that you only …

Mrs. Doubtfire
Mrs. Doubtfire, the movie will always be in my heart. A special one, that is. It starts off with Robin Williams, being separated from his wife and they have children together.
He loves them so much and wanting to be close to them, disguises himself as a …
The Triangle - Part 2 movie
The special effects in The Triangle, part 2 (and all parts actually), are very good and are part of the lure of what is a six-hour production. This movie or mini-series, depending on how you want to think of it, aired in 3 parts in 2005. It’s …
Vantage Point
Last Sunday night, my wife and I went out to the local theater to see the new movie Vantage Point. Except for the fact that we had to sit in one of the front rows n the very end, the experience was definitely a pleasureable one.
The …
Film The Tenant
I first time I heard of Roman Polanski’s The Tenant was from my mother who had ventured into a movie theater many years ago with a friend who had an affinity for avant-garde fair.
The Tenant still lived in infamy to this day and I grew up from childhood to …

Movie: Wes Craven Presents They
I got bored last night and once again decided to watch a movie that had been on our DVR for a while. I ended up settling for the film Wes Craven Presents: They.
My wife told me she watched that movie once and it scared her to the point she …
Lost in Translation (2003)
I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
Shawshank Redemention
We own a DVD of the movie based on Stepehn Kings short story called the The Shawshank Redemption. The Shawshank Redemption takes place in the 1940’s, with Andrew Dufrense played by Tim Robbins having been wrongly accused of murdering his wife and her lover. He was sent to Shawshank …
The Purge (movie)
There was a point in my life where I had begun to like home invasion movies, it but it was only after a while when I had begun to see the same type of plot play out over and over again and they had become slightly cliché, that I …
Hoodwinked Anne Hathaway & Glenn Close
Who ever thought the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” could ever be so complexed. This movie was so intensely funny. Just when you thought you had it figured it out, it took another turn. I enjoyed it so much and laughed constantly. I like a complex story. I …
