Constant Gardener movie
If you went by the description on the back of the movie, the Constant Gardener is the best thriller to ever come to DVD. But, had there been anything better on television, I would have turned the movie off after the first 30 minutes.
Set in Africa, Justin Quayle, a …
Flushed Away movie
Flushed Away is one great movie for me. I like Kate Winslet as an actress and in this cartoon movie she dubbed the voice of the female rat named Sid. I like the movie because I like to learn English more and here in this movie they were using …

Batman: The Dark Knight

Red 2010 movie
After I was more or less disappointed by the few movies that were about the same story (The A-Team , Go, The Expendables), I awaited anxiously as an incorrigible fan again to be cheated by the pensioners from Red . Especially since I’m always tempted to give a chance …
127 Hours (2010 film)
2010 was the year of survival films. The best one was the Slumdog Millionaire’ award winning director’s following film, based on the actual, tragic and yet unevenly proud and awe-inspiring story of Aaron Ralston.
The protagonist is a passionate, courageous and dangerously reckless climber who has broken …
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (fantasy movie)

17 Again Movie (2009)

Then She Found Me (starring Helen Hunt)
Then She Found Me stars Helen Hunt and it’s not that bad a movie. I believe that most women can relate to watching this story about how worrying their biological clock ticking tends to be and at the same time, not wanting a baby yet. Bu everything starts …

Uncle Buck (1989) movie

The Detective movie
Frank Sinatra starred in this 1968 vehicle called The Detective. He plays Det. Sgt. Joe Leland. Now frankly I’m not fond of Sinatra’s serious roles. I do enjoy him in musicals and lighter fare, but I’ve never been a fan of his more earthy roles as …
Michael (1996)
Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …

Moulin Rouge (2001 Movie)
Moulin Rouge by director Baz Luhrman is a movie built around its soundtrack…or at least, that’s how it feels to me. Each scene seems designed so that it can be summed up with a song. Fortunately the soundtrack is actually pretty good - many of the songs are great, …

Roll Bounce (2005 movie)
I, for one, believe that each should stick to what they can do…rappers rap, singers sing, dancers dance, actors act, and so on. When they try to do things that they know nothing of, they make a fool of themselves. Now, Bow wow is no stranger to the acting …

Taking The Lead
Take The Lead with Antonio Banderas, Rob Brown, and Alfre Woodard.
Right from the beginning, I began to mentally attack this movie as being hard to believe even though it is based on a true story. Banderas played a French dance teacher, yet his Spanish accent …
Out to Sea movie
From 1997, Out to Sea is a surprisingly funny motion picture. Even with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau teamed yet again, I just wasn’t sure that this movie would have what it takes to entertain all the way through, but I shouldn’t have worried. With these two …

The Shawshank Redemption
To say it bluntly, this is my second favorite movie of all time (#1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark if you’re curious) and absolutely deserving of its current top spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. What is so great about this movie is that …
Franklyn, British film by Gerald McMorrow
The question I asked myself while watching Franklyn on blu-ray was how do these four stories come together? The back of the case suggests that it all comes together at some point but I am not seeing it. Does Franklyn have bull shit written all over it or is …
