I found this movie to be drawn out, lacking in valuable information known in the real Black Dahlia murder, and more of a love story than a mystery.
Being a huge fan of true crime books and movies I anticipated the release of The Black Dahlia on dvd. I had …

Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …

I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …

When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …

The Iron Giant tells the tale of a boy who befriends a giant robot. The robot is actually a war machine but it does not remember its programming (it got a dent on the head..lol). This movie shows how vindictive some people can be when they can’t have things …

I have had this movie in my Netflix queue for a long time. And just like so many others, I kept passing over it for some reason or another. I liked the idea of seeing Peter Dinklage (the famous dwarf featured on FX’s Nip/Tuck) in an independent …

Another interesting movie I saw this week. But if you wanted a superhero movie like Superman you will clearly not find it in Iron Man, because it’s the antithesis of the ordinary loser who becomes a superhero as a consequence of a truly extraordinary event(I prefer those if you …

I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …

After the box office flop of The Craving, Paul Naschy never thought he’d ever play the werewolf role he made famous ever again. Well, never say never because he was tapped by a Japanese company to make this strange “Werewolf runs amok in fuedal Japan” mini epic.
If the description …

This story is really awesome. It is not the type of movie which amazes us with the special effects. The story is simple but very interesting.
This is a story of a girl who goes to a big city to study music. She had a brother who really believed in …

Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa here tries to depict a famous work in literature, Dostoyevskis The Idiot. Kurosawa has moved the story to Japan, which also has been done by the director with works of Shakespeare for example. The film is rather long, around 3 hours, but still it …

I very rarely like movie commercials however when I saw the one for 1408 I liked it so much I decided to actually buy it. Though Stephen King did not direct the movie, it was based off of his book. With this in mind I was fairly certain that …

The Barnyard is a good animated film, quite entertaining. I watched it just recently and I found it pretty funny. The main character is Odus, an adopted son of a cow. His father is the leader of the barn, keeping things in order, protecting the barn from hyenas, etc …

Synopsis: FBI agents attempt to catch a killer stalking a group of people participating in an on-line chatroom.
What I liked about this movie: I’m a big fan of movies that have a realistic plot and there’s nothing more realistic than someone stalking people they met online and murdering them. …

To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …

I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …

I could not miss this second instalment of Madagascar for the world as I had simply loved the first one. I caught this with my cousin and went with a high expectation, especially after the fantastic part 1. After all, the trailers for part 2 was also equally impressive …

In the bad and disappointing comedy series hall of fame, walks Gulliver’s Travels. The film retains in a certain extent the classic story of Gulliver in the land of dwarfs.
I do not know why certain changes were made in the script (probably have tried to adapt to today) so …

A Night To Remember focuses on the night the Titanic went down. I have seen both versions, and I prefer the old one, and am reviewing that movie here. Even though it is black and white, I think that A Night To Remember, made in 1957, is the best …

Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …

My daughter was watching Inspector Gadget (on DVD) when I got home for lunch today so I ended up watching the episode “A Star is Lost” with her.
This one is actually quite funny.
Like most other Inspector Gadget episodes, Gadget is trying to stop MAD from committing some major crime. …

This movie couldn’t have been any better. I loved it. I think will smith did an amazing job especially with him being the only actor in it. You would think that it would have got boring and lost my interest with only one actor and not a whole lot …

I feel that anybody, no matter how young, old or conservative you are, who has never watched even a single episode of the cartoon series, Spongebob Squarepants, is seriously missing out on some creatively crazy genius.
I think the cartoon will be enjoyed by anybody with a sense of humor, …

I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …

A film by Kurosawa made in the 1950s during the first of his “artistic peaks”, that is said to have inspired George Lucas a lot when he wrote Star Wars. A princess a and a military officer is running away from enemies together. On the way they meet two …

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 …

I am reviewing The Norwood Builder, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode finds a young man in need of Holmes’ help, as he woke up the very morning to find himself …

Final Destination 5 is supposed to be the final installment of the series, and hopefully for movie goers such as me, the studio actually means it. This film was probably the second worst movie of the franchise with its predictable plot and obvious scene transitions in the movie.
The movie …

The stories in which large muscles are combined with a brain of a bird often seem comical, but I feel that a deeper analysis can establish that there is a vast drama concealed in them. The audience members can be deeply mistaken if they think that the term “meathead” …

Wow, that was a major mistake.
I hadn’t seen the movie Norbit in a long time and couldn’t remember if I liked it or hated it so I ended up watching it again last night. Again, a big freaking mistake. I would have been better off watching the home shopping …

Here is yet another movie that made me angry. I was angry because the trailer made me think it was really going to be good. This story basically revolves around a couple that is being chased by several unidentified hooded individuals. They are chased …

I didn’t quite know what to expect from Zombieland, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be pretty entertaining and thought it was to be one of the better comedies to come out of the last few years.
I love end-of-the-world type cinema …

I must admit that I enjoy watching the director, Nora Ephron movies. She gave us great romantic comedies, such “When Harry meet Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You Have Got Mail”. I feel that she lost her magic touch in this movie and it is no wonder that the …

Four young black women disillusioned and down on their luck, begin robbing banks to make their way out of the ghetto and move onto better things.

Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …

Grizzly Rage Starring Tyler Hoechlin Graham Kosakoski and Kate Todd
I got Grizzly Rage out because my husband and I were hoping to see a good old fashioned scary film. I have seen other movies where bears have attacked people and the bears are so fast and powerful that they …

I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …

Legends of the Fall was directed by Edward Zwick. It stars Brad Pitt and Aiden Quinn as two brothers, with Anthony Hopkins as their father.
The movie traces the life histories of the two boys and show the family as torn apart by war, grief, and conflict over a …

I have personally always liked the story of Atlantis. The idea of such a city is an intriguing one and its one that has been told for generations. When Disney came out with Atlantis I was really curious to see how good it would be. The trailer …

I am reviewing The Mother Hubbard Case, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, stars as …
