The Fugitive thriller
The Fugitive is one of the best thrillers films I’ve seen. Never have I sat through the whole film without taking bathroom breaks or even a quick trip to the fridge. Here, Harrison Ford played Dr. Richard Kimble, a prominent doctor convicted of murdering his wife. He is co-starred …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989 movie)
I first saw “The Fabulous Baker Boys” about twenty years ago, but I still catch parts of it now when it shows up on one of the cable channels. The movie is a straightforward drama about brothers Frank and Jack Baker, portrayed by real-life brothers Beau and Jeff Bridges. …
The Fly movie
David Cronenberg’s remake of the classic 1950s movie with Vincent Price. Jeff Goldblum is the eccentric scientist who accidentally is transformed into a giant fly. Cronenberg uses a lot of horrific special effects here, and the difference between this and his great Dead Ringers is huge considering the tone …
Hansel & Gretel
I wanted a movie my entire family could watch last night and ended up loading Hansel & Gretel on my Netflix player.
While definitely not a kids movie (and a bit scary at times for younger children), this turned out to be a movie everyone in my house enjoyed.
The movie …
The Women (Movie)
This is a very nice movie and when I watched this I was reminded by Sex and the City, but the girls here are much laid-back and more conservative and more professional and laid-back than the cast of Sex and the City, but they aren’t necessarily boring.
The movie features …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …

Movie Gamer
I don’t even remember how and why I started watching this movie. We were there at the cinema and just chose that movie without thinking too much.

Meet the Fockers
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …

When I first saw the movie “Catch Me if you Can” advertising to be released in theatres I wanted to watch it because of two major reasons. One was because it was the first in a long time I was seeing the actor Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie and …
The Net
Up to 1995 we were so used of associating the actress Sandra Bullock to romantic movies. During this year, Bullock decided to show her talents in a different movie that included drama, patios and action. This is what “The Net” is all about.
The story of this movie is about …
Samantha Jones, character of Sex and the City
Are you a big fan of Sex and the City? Which character from Sex and the City that you like most? Besides Carrie Bradshaw, the main lead, I always give my two thumbs up for Samantha Jones for her confidence, independence and her bravery in sexual life.

Cyborg 1989 Movie Starring Van Damme
I guess what I am going to be trying to do right now is to justify the grade I am about to give this movie. I am going to give this movie the grade of eight out of ten, and assert that it is a very good film. I …

W. movie
I went to see this film because it looked interesting, I thought it was interesting they would take shots at W eaven before his term had ended. The movie chronicles George W Bush’s life, growing up and eventually becoming president, it is one of those movies where you aren’t …

Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.
I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …
Ratatouile movie
I like this movie so much. I enjoy so much how a rat was able to change a life of an orphan and was the sole key for his success. I enjoy the movie so much since the story line was a little fresh. I love how the plot …

The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe
This evening I watched “The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. I had heard mixed reviews, yet I wanted to see this movie for myself.
I had seen the original cartoon movie, way back when.
I have to say I really liked this remake.
I …
Gravity (science fiction movie)
Gravity is one of those movies that I kept hearing from people that I had to see. I couldn’t really understand why either since I thought that the trailer didn’t really appeal to me much, and I’m not too fond of many of the movies that the actress Sandra Bullock …
Movie Eastern Promises
The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …
The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …

Edward ScissorHands
Edward ScissorHands is one of my all time favorite movies. The music and scenery is must majestic. I think this is one of Johnny Depp’s best roles. He plays the part of Edward. Edward was created by his father who was an old inventor. But he never got to …
Suicide Squad (2016 Film)
I am a DC fan ever since childhood, and while most of my friends accuse me of being a Marvel hater (which isn’t true by the way), I am not blind enough to see the faults of my mighty favorite comicbook superheroes.
I was a little bit disappointed with the theatrical …

Hanging up movie
Hanging up is a very normal movie which has nothing unique about it. The only saving grace of the movie is Meg Ryan’s impeccable performance. She single handedly did everything and the whole movie rests on her shoulders and she did a great job in doing that job perfectly. …
The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Since I have just reviewed the new movie “The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” I thought it would be a good idea to review its first part, “The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” released in 2003. The first movie is much better …

Telling the tale of poor Carrie White, object of …
The Detective movie
Frank Sinatra starred in this 1968 vehicle called The Detective. He plays Det. Sgt. Joe Leland. Now frankly I’m not fond of Sinatra’s serious roles. I do enjoy him in musicals and lighter fare, but I’ve never been a fan of his more earthy roles as …
Che: Part One, starring Benicio Del Toro
I had read a few reviews of the movie “Che” starring Benicio Del Toro, and most of them complained that it was too long at over 4 hours, and that it dragged on and was not interesting enough to hold the viewers’ attention for that long. The other night I …
Jockey (documentary)
I love horses and I love to ride. I’m also found of Thoroughbreds, especially those horses retired from the race track. I also enjoy watching the Kentucky Derby and the other big Thoroughbred races. I knew that it would be hard to be a jockey, but I had no …
Disney’s Mulan movie
If you have watched this movie, you would agree with me that this is so much different than all other films produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mulan takes its art and story cues directly from Chinese mythology and successfully blends them with Disney elements. Mulan is a loveable, spirited …
Role Models
Role Models is the latest comedy starring Paul Rudd, who actually co wrote and produced the film. The movie is advertised as a comedy similar to 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, which also stars Paul Rudd, but it isn’t as funny as those other movies.
Paul Rudd and …
Sparkling Cyanide movie
Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …
