The Hurt Locker
Prior to bagging the best picture trophy, this was not one of my favorites. I was rooting for The Blind Side or Precious for the Best Picture in this year’s Academy Awards.
The story revolves around the lives of William James who heads the US Army Explosive Disposal …
Perfect Marriage movie
I watched this movie today on lifetime movie network. They are doing this thing today called “the perfect sunday”. This was a pretty decent movie, overall I enjoyed it. My biggest complaint is that the ending could have been a lot better. I kind of felt like the ending …
In Bruges
I became interested seeing In Bruges after I found out about the cast and the great script. But nothing would have foretold me how amazing this movie will turn out. First of all, it stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes and it is about two hitmen (Farrell …

The Hot Spot movie
The Hot Spot is an ultra cool movie about a man who comes to town. When this man comes to town, everything that was static becomes shaken up. Don Johnson plays Harry and while I am not a Don Johnson fan (at all!) , I do like him in …

Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.

Leatherheads
I absolutely hate George Clooney movies. So, when I picked up Leatherheads, I will confess my expectations were a bit low. However, after watching the movie, I do feel my low expectations were justified. It just wasn’t any good.
I liked the concept behind this movie. There are plenty of …

Bandolero movie
Bandolero was a really strange western with an odd theme that was quirky but alluring. It has a bouncy element to it. I actually like the theme music quite a bit. It fits the movie.
Basically, James Stewart hears about a band of outlaws that have been …
Ninja Assassin : The Movie
The main reason why I decided to watch this movie was because this movie concluded my entire fetish in it. I love everything about Ninja things (I love everything about Japan things, and Ninja was originally from Japan, am I right?) and Assassins are also one of my favorite …

Krrish 3 (Movie)
If I look back at all the Bollywood films I have seen till date, Koi Mil Gaya.. released in 2003 is the BEST of all of them. What worked for this E.T.-inspired flick were - it being one of the first sci-fi movies of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan’s abnormal character …

Of all the Jodie Foster films I have seen recently, this one was the most interesting—¦ but quite a departure from the kinds of films I’ve seen her in. The Brave One features Jodie in the lead role as a fiancée whose lover is killed in Central …
Spanglish

The Ninth Gate, movie
Johnny Depp steps out in a new role as a rare book expert preying on the loss and misfortune of others. It’s a long way from his more known characters, but his performance is excellent in this dark and somewhat comical exploration of secret societies and the quest to …
Against the Ropes (2004)
This is a movie about boxing, and if you have ever seen a movie about boxing then you don’t really need to even bother yourself with this movie. The plot is very simple, it is about a woman who has offered to manage an up and coming middleweight fighter, …
Columbus (2017 Drama Film)
“Every frame a painting,” is a term that could be aptly applied to this movie. And awhile its fairly static camera movement could mean a slow-burning calorie to be devoured by any human being watching this, the results are staggering. This is a widely-fleshed drama of two suffering characters trying …
Watchmen
I was seriously pretty excited that Watchmen the movie opening is today in my country. And just now, I went to buy tickets to watch it with my boyfriend. We were quite disappointed in the end after watching. My boyfriend is an avid comic reader, and he …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith A Movie
Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was a really great movie. It was sexy, witty and simply smoldering. I cannot say that I am a big Brad Pitt fan but I did like this movie. I liked how both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were …

Monkeybone (2001 Film)

Night Shift movie
I absolutely loved Henry Winkler when he portrayed the Fonze on Happy Days. As a movie star, I think he’s OK in a supporting role. When it comes to carrying a movie, like he did in Night Shift, he’s just not that good.
The idea behind Night Shift was a …
