Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I’m not normally a Monty Python fan. I’ve seen his flying circus show and thought it was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever watched. But, the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is one of the better comedies I’ve seen.
Basically, the movie is set during the time …
By the sea Movie
A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …
What Would Jesus Buy
The most pervasive sin in our society isn’t lust, far from it in fact which is why it’s so easy for us to see, but far more dangerous to our society are greed and gluttony, and driving to that point in a humorous and profound way is What Would …
Poltergeist - Supernatural Horror Movie (2015)
As far as horror movies go, Poltergeist is not a movie I’m planning to watch again. It’s a remake of the 1982 movie, Poltergeist, and from what I hear, the original is way better. Although I watched this in 3D in theaters, there were very few scares to boast of …
Vertigo
I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …
Madagascar 2: Escape To Africa
I watched Madagascar 2: Escape To Africa and I came out from the cinema, a happy customer. It was so hilarious and I don’t mind seeing it again. Seriously, the first Madagascar movie was funny but the second got me tears in my eyes laughing. This time around, Madagascar …
The Bucket List (movie)
Two of my favorite actors in the same movie! The Bucket List stars Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter. Edward and Carter meet while in the hospital because both men are dying of cancer. Now the plot sounds pretty trite, but it is Jack Nicholson and …
Ocean’s Eleven Movie
A new version of the 1960 version with Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, which I honestly haven’t been able to find myself. The new version is directed by Steven Soderburgh, a praised director most known for his films Traffic and Erin Brockowich. Personally I think this director is …
Movie Waterworld
Waterworld, directed by Kevin Reynolds is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Kevin Costner as Mariner and Dennis Hopper as Deacon.
Contrary to popular critisms, I love this movie, it can do no wrong in my book. It does not matter that if it failed …
Down to You (starring Julia Stiles)
I love this movie so much! Freddie Prinze Jr. is one of my most favorite actor and as for actress, Julia Stiles isn’t that bad too. Both of them simply rock in this movie I’ve watched before, Down to You. With a cool name as Imogen, Julia …
Hydra movie
The first time I had heard of the movie “Hydra” was when I had seen it advertising on the cable television channel SyFy. Even then, I could clearly see that it was going to be one of SyFy’s usual B-rated creature horror films, and when I had decided to …

Before Sunset movie
Nine years after the success movie of “Before Sunrise”, the actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet up together to work on “Before Sunset” which only took 15 days shooting. No doubt there are very few sequels which one can say that they are great and “Before Sunset” is …

Dancer in the Dark (2000)
This movie rocks my world everytime I warch it. Rocks my world, meaning that it plays with my feelings so easily, this movie absorbs me completely. It’s about pure emotion and empathy, presented in the most heartfelt way ever: a mother’s love for her son. The story is set …
White House Down (2013 Film)
White House Down is a 2013 movie that I decided to watch after my sister recommended it to me. I remember seeing the film previews during the evening time on TV, but in the back of my mind I was thinking that it just another president doom’s day movie …

“All the King’s Men” The other one (1999)
This “All the King’s Men” is not the one based on Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer winning novel. It is not a novel about politics in Louisiana. It is a movie about, well, all the king’s men. In this version there really is a king, King George V and the …
Crimson Tide
Normally I don’t like war movies. They are OK, but they usually focus on blood and guts and really don’t have a whole lot in terms of actual plot. Either that, or they focus on a real historical event and I find myself having a hard time enjoying the …
Saw 3
Saw 3 is a horror movie. There is a two movies before this: Saw and Saw 2. All of them are unpredictable when it’s going to end.

Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …

I saw this movie “21” just recently. It stars ,the guy from Across the Universe; and Kevin Spacey as the math professor in charge of the Math club.
This was a controversial …
Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
We finally got around to watching the second to last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on New Years Eve.
I still think the first couple movies were the better movies, but this one was better than some of the later films; both when it came …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my 2nd favorite Potter film out of the first five, but just like with Prisoner of Azkaban it took some time for me to get adjust.
Here’s what …
In a lonely place movie
Nicholas Ray showed his incredible craft and vision with this Humphrey Bogart-film of the early 1950s. Ray worked in many different genres and did an excellent job almost every time, but perhaps he is most famous for his cult rated Rebel without a cause with James Dean. In a …

One of the movies that I was privileged to watch as of recently was an unexpected gem called Pitch Perfect. I call this unexpected because when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was much less than interested in seeing it. I was never much of a …

As you can most likely guess from the title, this is a review of the movie Beowulf & Grendel. This movie is a couple of years old, however I decided to try it out after seeing the absolutely disastrous Beowulf movie which just recently came out in theaters. …
The Room, movie (2003)

Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Thriller Movie)
I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …

Movie Blond Ambition
To put everything in a short sentence, “Blond Ambition” is a very cheap copy of Reese Whiterspoon success movie “Legally Blond”. It is to no surprise to me that it went straight to DVD release.
