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 …
Meet the Fockers
Meet the Fockers is crazy, wild and hilariously funny! I could never summarize this movie enough. It has a very superb cast and I really must praise the Director and everyone making this movie because it has made me so happy watching it each time. The …
Lego Batman: The Movie

Transformers, The Movie
It’s hard to say who was more excited about this movie when the news first hit the floor. All the sugar charged ten-year-old boys who really just wanted to see some big robots blow stuff up, or the generations of baby boomers who remember it from when they …
High Society movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …
Cinderella Man movie
It took me quite some time before I was actually able to watch the movie “Cinderella Man” being that it was not the type of movie which I usually liked watching at the time, and I thought that it would probably be another boring sports drama film which I …
Bruno
I can still recall sitting in a packed cinema in 2006. Laughing uncontrollably at the hilarious antics of actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s infamous character Borat. So naturally I had hopes for Cohen’s new movie centred on gay Austrian model Bruno.
The opening scenes of Bruno shocked me. Yes, …

Movie The Dark Knight
My family and I saw this movie over the weekend. Our family includes me age 35 female, my husband age 35 male, and our son age 16. All of us really enjoyed the movie.
I think Heath Ledger did a wonderful job as the Joker. He brought something new …
“The life of David Gale” movie
History of sentenced to death, university lecturer and social activist divides the viewers. The film can be assessed in two ways. The positive side is its message and emotions triggered in the viewer, negative - a lot of shortcomings in terms of direction and screenplay.
Despite the various advantages and …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself (PG13, 2009)

Movie: Dolls

Flight of the Phoenix
My wife is a huge Hugh Laurie fan so we ended up watching one of his movies the other day; Flight of the Phoenix. And, overall, I thought the movie was pretty good.
Technically, it stars Dennis Quaid and I’m not normally a fan of his. But, even he did …
Little Mermaid 2
One of my favorite cartoon movies from Disney is The Little Mermaid and when I heard that it has a part 2, I’m one of those who lined up in theaters just to watch it.
Little Mermaid 2 is another adventurous tale of our favorite mermaid, Ariel, but this …
Looney Tunes Back in Action
Normally, if there’s a movie that features cartoon characters talking to real actors, I’m not a huge fan.
Not that movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam didn’t have their moments; they just were a bit too corny for my tastes.
Looney Tunes Back in Action still fits that …
Monster-In-Law movie
Monster-In-Law is a super cute movie about a meddling mother who will not let her son marry the girl that he loves (or any girl he wants to be with, for that matter). Jane Fonda plays the mom and her son is Kevin. Jennifer Lopez is so cute and …

Split (2017 Psychological Thriller Film)
The idea of watching a psychological film circling around different personalities inside a single person is potentially invigorating. After all the idea has never been done to death. That’s why I am earnestly hopeful that my first M. Night Shyamalan feature could fulfill the gap of films I missed in …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer somehow manages to drain out the glamour and the pomposity - sometimes even the fantasy out of the Superhero World.
Rise of the Silver Surfer seems to suffer from sequel-itis - the narrative isn’t as exciting, the story isn’t impressive. There’s practically no …
30 Day Of Night
I love vampire movies; you could say that I really like to get my teeth in to a good vampire horror film. 30 Days of Night stars Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Danny Huston and Ben Foster. Its rating is MA. The film is supposed to be in a small …
Sex and the City The Movie

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014 Film)

Disney’s Robin Hood (1973)
“Robin Hood” is not my favorite Disney animated feature. In fact, the main reason why I like it at all is the narrator, a rooster / minstrel with the voice of Roger Miller, who also composed the songs that he sings to move the story along.
The bunnies …

The Notebook Movie
I watched the movie The Notebook some time ago and thought it was a pretty decent, unique movie. But, today, I ended up watching it again. I’m not sure why. But, I just didn’t like the film as much as I thought I did.

I am reviewing the movie, Ladder 49, starring John Travolta and Juaquin Pheonix, among many others. This movie depicts the courageousness of being a firefighter. Juaquin Pheonix plays a newbie fireman whose captain (John Travolta) shows him the ropes of the job. It isn’t all hard work and …

Movie: Penelope
“Penelope” is a small-budget movie that was apparently released sometime in 2008, although I do not remember any advertising for the movie. Anyway, my wife and I rented it this past weekend. It was a surprisingly charming ‘modern day fairy tale’ staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. …
