Enchanted movie
The story introduced me that the theory of “happily ever after” is just a fairytale. Enchanted shows you the fact, between the fairytale and the realities. Love needs time and everything may be happen when you’re about to find your true love. Well, I guess that was the idea …
I Am Legend
Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …
Movie Recycle
This is a crazy movie; some people would say that it is weird and that they didn’t understand it. Honestly I think that this is the type of movie where you either like it or you don’t. I just thought it was overall crazy and honestly I don’t even …
When Harry Met Sally
Yes, I know, I know: for some reason, many folks have agreed that this movie is great. Wonderful. Almost a classic… Beats me why. I watched it a couple of days ago and found it very average.
Sally and Harry meet for the first time as college students, then life …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
The 2005 film “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” came as a conclusion to an event in movie history, where the story came to an end and left me somehow wanting to know more. The film was not only graphically genius, suspenseful and sad, but it was one that …
10,000 B.C.
I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
The countdown to the end has begun for Harry Potter fans around the world. My family and I saw “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” a couple weeks after release, and couldn’t be more pleased. Unlike the previous films where the screenwriters and producers left out major …
The Fog movie
An underrated piece from John Carpenter, made between Halloween and Escape from New York. The story, that involves a fog attacking people in a small coast town in America, may be a little bit mundane, but the way Carpenter creates moods and scare his audience here is simply top …
17 Again movie
The choice of actor Zack Efron to do the movie ‘17 Again’ really caught me by surprise. After finish working on the last movie of ‘High School Musical’, Efron declared that he wanted to work on movies with far more challenging roles. In all honestly, I found that there …

Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street
When it comes to classic horror movies, I can’t imagine making a list of the best without including A Nightmare On Elm Street. Wes Craven gave audiences a whole new kind of killer when he unleashed the charred murderer into the dreams of teens in the mid eighties. …
Hitch
The other night I was watching the movie Hitch starring Will Smith and I thought I would give my take on this movie. Well I have been a fan of Smith since Fresh Prince and I enjoy many of his action movies. Hitch shows a date doctor whose job …
Why Did I Get Married? (PG-13, 2007)
Tyler Perry is truly one of the underdog success stories in American filmmaking. His stage plays have brought him tons of success. But I am still waiting for him to make a really riveting movie. “Why Did I Get Married?” is full of stars (Janet Jackson, …
“Monsters” movie
Taking up for watching “Monster” I was hoping that it will be explosive combination of “The way” and “District 9″. So I was hoping for poetic road movie, as confirmed in the post-apocalyptic mood, which would become the matrix for an ambitious aesthetic, making a problems, science fiction story. …
The movie Inspector Gadget
As a kid I loved the old inspector gadget cartoons. They were the greatest thing to me and my friends and I used to play inspector gadget all the time. Thus when this movie came out I was relatively excited. I figured that if it was anything like …

Dreamgirls
I give this movie five stars. After leaving the theater, I wiped the tears out of my eyes and headed to the nearest place I could buy the soundtrack. Don’t mistake me, this is not a sappy movie, but it does pull on your emotions. After a month of …
The Brother From Another Planet
If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.
Joe Morton plays “The Brother,” an escaped slave from a planet know as “Another Planet.” I think that was the best joke …

Salam-E-Ishq is a nicely directed movie by Nikhil Advani. Movie depicts the life of six couples through different perspectives. The star cast of movie is great.

Surrogates (Movie)
I thought this movie was going to be good, but it is tastefully overexaggerated. The movie is all about people using robots as surrogates to live in the world, and it features Bruce Willis as Tom Greer, his wife Rosamund Pike as Maggie, Radha Mitchell as Peters, James Cromwell …
Mirrors
Mirrors looked like scary and it is actually, in certain areas of the movie story. I watched it alone actually and Kiefer Sutherland played the lead. This movie is actually a remake of a Korean movie actually, having the title Mirrors too.
What is the story about actually..? …

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
The second movie in the National Treasure Series was fantastic, even though I had never expected them to make another. And they took it up to a whole other level, it was really something. There was action and mystery like in the first, but less factual stuff, and more …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …

Get Smart movie
“Get Smart” was a great show back in 1965 when the first episode aired, although I was too young to actual watch the first episode, I enjoyed many years of reruns. Surprisingly, one of the creators was Mel Brooks, which I think is a naturally funny guy without really …
Jerry Maguire
It’s quite sad that Tom Cruise ain’t acting in movies as gorgeously good as Jerry Maguire anymore. I caught this movie when it was first released on theaters and then later caught it on again on DVD. I was not bored at all watching it.
The storyline …

Clash of the Titans movie remake
Hollywood has done it again. They’ve taken a well-known movie and tried to update it with flashy costumes (literally in the case of Zeus) and an overabundance of CGI. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film by the same name, although it lacks many of …

Netflix
I did a free trial from netflix a while ago and I also did it a free trial for my cousin not to long ago. The movies took forever to get to me and her both. They are also a little more money than blockbuster. You also can’t take …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …

Kung Fu Panda
I saw ‘Kung Fu Panda’ a few days ago. The first thing that hit me as soon as the movie started was the awesome graphics. This animated movie brings together Jack Black(Po), Dustin Hoffman(master shifu), Angelina Jolie (Tigress), Ian McShane (Tai Lung), Jackie Chan (Monkey), Lucy Liu (Viper), Seth …
The Longest Day
Arguably, the best war film ever to be made. I believe it was filmed in 1962. Big names like, John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery to name a few, starred in this black & white movie.
What intrigued me the most about this flick was that the Americans/British spoke …
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Movie)
As an avid reader of the Hunger Games trilogy, I was very excited for the next installment in the movie franchise. I thought the first movie was okay, giving it a rating of 7/10, but I’m glad to say that this second installment is a huge improvement over the …
The Punisher (DVD)
