The Da Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, and Jean Reno.
This movie appeared on the scene when everyone was promoting the concept of the Da Vinci Code in books, TV, and documentaries. The star studded cast also appealed to my interest …
The Bank Job, British crime film
Certain genres of movies never seem to advance too much. Crime is that one genre that tends to follow the same path, get a bunch of people and rob a bank. The Bank Job follows this tiresome formula but for some reason it is more entertaining than half the …
Star Trek Generations: Love and Hated it
Ok. I just saw Star Trek Generations on Cable last night and I was telling my husband how much I love and hate the movie. I’m a big Star Trek fan, hands down. I’ve seen all of the orginal Star Trek movies and Next Generations movies hundreds of time, …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012 Coming-of-Age Drama Film)
Some films do really affect me far better in my second watch than my first. Back then, 4 years ago, when I first saw this movie, it was nothing but a coming-of-age drama with a twisted end, one that I was so eager to watch because my ultimate crush, Emma …
Guest House Paradiso Movie
To crazy gentlemen owns a hotel, a place which could well rate as the worst in the whole world. Situated next to a nuclear reactor, only having five guests in total and a drunk cook.
Rather hysterical film with a high tempo. Unfortunately it uses a “style” of jokes and …
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger movie
I would not want to tell you what happens in the film, perhaps only roughly. Same thing happened when I saw Closer, we concluded that the story is too good to tell everybody what happens.
The story is fairly complex because it follows the fates of several couples, old age …
Devil in the Flesh II
A short while ago, my wife and I sat down to watch the movie Devil in the Flesh and learned it was a better movie than we expected it to be. So, we wasted no time watching the sequel to the movie; Devil in the Flesh II.
As is often …
Saviour of the Soul movie
A mysterious man dressed in black stabs down some guards at a palace. A couple of hundred years later a very similar crime takes place. Someone is given the mission to find out what the connection between these two crimes are.
A minor Hong Kong action film that didn’t have …
Are You Here (2013 Film)
Are You Here, is a comedy movie I had the opportunity to view one evening. I hadn’t heard much about the film, until browsing the internet movie data base. I was curious about the movie after viewing the cast list of actors who started in the movie. Normally, I …
A zed and two noughts movie
After his masterpiece The draughtsman’s contract back in the early 1980s, the expectations on Peter Greenaway where enormous on my account. He created some very impressive pieces of work through the remaining 80s that included the puzzling Drowning by numbers and the macabre The cook, the thief, his wife …
Pinky and the Brain
Pinky and the Brain is one of the best cartoons ever! This show is so funny, and I really love in the intro song to this show. The lyrics are so funny and catchy! I think this is a wonderful show that everyone will enjoy a lot. I like how …
Cocoon: The Return
“Cocoon: The Return” was released in 1988, three years after the original Cocoon that I really enjoyed. A group of senior citizens had left the planet Earth in the end of the first movie, choosing to live with aliens, on a planet where there is no illness or aging. …
Amadeus movie
Amadeus is one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen in my life. I love music and this movie has plenty of good music in it. I think that the character of Amadeus Mozart was just great in the movie. I also really liked the way Amadeus …
Movie Shrek 2
This second edition of Shrek leaves off where the first one did. I really like that because you do not feel like you are missing any parts of the film. I would have to say that this is by far my favorite Shrek movie out of all …
James Bond - Casino Royale
This movie is quite different from all the previous 007 movies starting from Sean Connery as James Bonds. First I have to point out that the opening introductory song is also different. From all the previous ones, when the music started, there were usually profiles of women dancing all …
Do The Right Thing movie
This is a film by the talented Spike Lee and in my opinion his best film to date. A film about rascism and prejudice, how the true nature of these issues actually looks like. Spike Lee doesn’t choose his side here. All fractions of a society in america are …
Movie Funny Girl
I recently watch the movie Funny Girl, I have been a fan of Barbra Streisand since I was eight. I watched because I had never seen it before, which was shocking because I have seen a lot of Barbra Streisand movies.
This movie was phenomenal, it was beyond entertaining. The …
XXX
After a few movies, Vin Diesel became hollywood’s leading man for a hot minute. He was cast in Saving Private Ryan, which was an absolute brilliant movie starring Tom Hanks. And he was also in the Fast and the Furious with Paul Walker. After declining a role in the …
Waitress - (starring Keri Russell)
This movie that I have watched before, Waitress, starring Keri Russell, is a very powerful and sweeping story. Do not underestimate the contents of it because it has lots of morale values that we can at one point or another learn.
Keri acted as Jenna and she is …
Final Destination 4 movie
Another installment to the Final Destination series, Final Destination 4 follows the aftermath of a young man’s premonition at a race track. Nick is spending the day with his girlfriend and two friends at a beat up race track. When he sees a prophetic vision of their …
Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.
It was definitely a cute film. Doogal is a dog who, along with a group of his friends, has to defeat an evil wizard …
Daredevil Movie
Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …
Oliver Twist (2005 movie)
Oliver Twist is 2005 Crime and drama movie directed by Roman Polanski, which is based on a novel. I had read the novel a few years ago, and I truly loved it, and wanted to see the story in action, and played by real characters. The story of the …
The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …
George of the Jungle (1997)
George of the Jungle, directed by Sam Weisman is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude humor and mild violence, language and sensuality. The original release date was July 16, 1997 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Comedy/Family/Romance and stars …
Solstice (PG-13, 2007)
I really tried hard to at least give this film a chance. I liked that it was set in Louisiana. I liked that the directors chose to focus on the solstice aspect. I even resigned myself to the fact that there would be several college kids …
Movie: “Penelope” (2006)
Penelope (Christina Ricci) is rich and comes from the best of blueblood families; but, due to a long-ago witch’s curse, she was born with the nose of a pig. The curse can only be broken if one of her own learns to love her just as she is. Her …
Curse of the Komodo (2003) movie
This is a pretty good monster movie. It’s about some scientists on a tropical island that did experiments on a komodo until it grew to giant size. Of course, the scientists were working for the government. The plot of this picture is very similar to “Komodo vs Cobra”, with …
“The Children” Vertigo Pictures, 2009
Last night I was invited to a relative’s house to watch a movie. It was “The Children- Vertigo Pictures, 2009.” When I saw the Ghost House logo I silently rolled my eyes and dreaded the inevitable two hours of watching teenagers get killed one by one in an …
The Covenant Movie
Known for its outstanding special effects, The Covenant promises fun, adventure, and a total disregard for the movie rules, but this is one movie that delivers what it promises, and it works. Four friends share a centuries-old secret, being that they are warlocks, and descendants of …
A League of their Own movie
I am reviewing the movie, A League of the their Own, which was released in 1997. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are just a few big stars that acted in this incredible movie about the first ever woman’s baseball team. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, who in …
Nanny McPhee DVD
Nanny McPhee is a great new movie that will remind you of the old days of Mary Poppins. I got Nanny McPhee last week when it came out of DVD and am really glad that I now own the movie. The movie is about a group of children who …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is the sequel to the critically and commercially successful movie, Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock played the lead role in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous as well but the movie fails to impress the viewers who have expectations from the …
The Killer (movie) July, 2006
This is really one stupid movie that I have ever watched. The movie titled The Killer is a complete out and out copy of Collateral. It released on 21st July, 2006. I expected it to be some kind of a better movie as it is a Mahesh Bhatt production. …
The Pianist (2006)
I loved the movie “The Pianist” (2006). The Roman Polanski movie three Oscars and probably deserved more. The movie tells the story of real-life Polish Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew, who lived in Warsaw before, during, and after World War II. I found the movie believable and touching without …
Third Harry Potter Movie
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was very impatient for this movie, especially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. I had heard there would be a new director so I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations. It …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …
Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
Akeelah and the Bee, written and directed by Doug Atchison is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some language. The original release date was April 28, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Family and stars Keke Palmer as Akeelah, …
Avatar movie
From the director of Titanic, I did not expect anything lesser than a truly spectacular and touching movie. And even with this high expectation Avatar did not let me down. Avatar is a movie which kept me fully engaged in the theater for every seconds of the movie. In …
The Prince of Tides film
From 1991, The Prince of Tides stars Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte. Sometimes I find it hard to believe those two made an on-screen couple, but they definitely did. Also in the film, which Streisand directed, are Blythe Danner, Melinda Dillon, Kate Nelligan, George Carlin, and, making …
A Little Princess (movie)
A Little Princess is the movie about Sara, wealthy and adored daughter of a man who indulges her every wish and constantly tells her how wonderful she is. Sara is a beautiful child, and she is as sweet as she is pretty. Growing up in India with every little …

Movie: Nine Dead
I have had the film Nine Dead loaded on my Netflix player for a few weeks now. But, I did not take the time to watch it until last night because I suspected it would be a terrible rip off of the Saw movies or some other movie I …
A Walk To Remember movie
I was able to watch the A Walk To Remember movie when I was in high school, which was roughly seven years ago and yet I still remember it very clearly and I love the movie very much. I didn’t even know it was based from the book until …
Baby Einstein movie
I’m not sure who came up with the Baby Einstein series on DVD but I am very glad that they did. These videos are a god-send for parents of toddlers everywhere.
My 2-year-old will watch movies but, like most kids her age, doesn’t sit too long before she’s moving on …
Sweeney Todd
Just so we’re all clear, this review is about the 2007 movie with Johnny Depp - not the show, or the DVD of the show.
I thought this movie was a pretty good adaptation of the show. The acting is great, the songs are for the most part as good …
