Avatar, Avatar, Avatar—¦. This movie has had an immeasurable amount of hype. The amount of hype backing this movie before release was absolutely insane. There were so many people excited for this movie and the trailers made it seem like this movie was going to blow our minds and …
The Prestige movie
“The Prestige” starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, and Michael Caine is one of the best movies that I’ve seen in a while. The storyline follows the careers of rival magicians while their mentor is always in the background playing some small part. The thing that I loved the most …
Spy (2015)- Comedy Movie
Spy is a comedy movie written and directed by Paul Feig. Honestly, i was never interested in this movie but the only reason that made me watch it was Jason Statham. According to me he is the biggest attraction, though he is only present for few scenes but being his …
Legally Blond 1 and 2
No matter what the actress Reese Whiterspoon does with her career, she will be associated with the “Legally Blond” movies for which (for the first movie) she won an Emmy Award. Whiterspoon is simply fantastic in the role of cute Elle Woods whose life is all pink! Whenever Whiterspoon wears …
Pay it Forward (movie)
A movie that I can remember impacted the way I felt about life for years was called “Pay it Forward”. I’m not exactly sure when it was released, but I remember that the first time I watched it was when I was in high school and I had seen …
Obsessed
I watched Obsessed at the cinema with my boyfriend the other day. This movie stars Idris Elba, Beyonce and Ali Larter. It is such a great and amazing movie and it has a thriller genre. The movie plot is pretty simple and predictable though, but I feel …
The Blind Side 2010 Movie
The Blind Side tells the true story of Michael Oher and how he was taken in by the Tuohy family. It shows how he overcame great obstacles to become an athlete and eventually came to play for the Baltimore Ravens.
Since this is a true story, I can spoil …
Cape Fear
I think Robert De Niro did a great job in the movie Cape Fear. I really like Cape Fear because it’s a different type of horror. This movie is not about ghosts or monsters, but it is instead about a prison inmate named Max that wants revenge. He was sent …

Movie: What Happens in Vegas
As I mentioned in another review, I had a chance to watch a couple movies yesterday evening (it was raining out and there wasn’t anything good on TV). One of the films I re-watched for the first time in a couple years was the movie What happens in Vegas.
This …
National Lampoon’s European Vacation movie
I have seen all of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. Christmas vacation is easily the worst of the four but I think European Vacation is one of those movies that isn’t as good as the first “Family Vacation” or the last, “Vegas Vacation.”
That’s not to say it is a …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have to say, this movie really did live up to my expectations. Third in the series that also includes The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie follows Jason Bourne as he seeks out the people who made him what he has become and gradually “all …

The Dark Knight Rises
Read on at the risk of spoilers.
For those of you who believed that ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ would be strong competition for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ I’m sorry, but you could not be more wrong. The other two films were good, but this was on a whole …
American History X
I have long heard of the movie “American History X” being referred to from time to time from the late nineteen nineties. However, I never brought myself to watch it being that I had somehow thought that it would be another movie about America’s racist history and I did …
Spirited Away (Movie 2001)

This is where the daughter’s adventures begin as …

Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …
Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
To Kill A King
To Kill A King with Tim Roth and Dougray Scott.
This story is a historic narration of the rise to power of Oliver Cromwell. Tim Roth plays the part of the complex character in such a way that we can see into his soul. …
Stalker movie
Tarkovsky’s great masterpiece about three men going on a journey through “the zone”, which is a restricted area where the deepest wish of every man becomes reality.
Tarkovsky’s imagery is completely breathtaking and holds no resemblance to anything else. He’s totally unique in his artistry and is perhaps the closest …
Prince of Persia - The Sands Of Time
My husband and I went to see this movie , and we both enjoyed it. It is very fun and entertaining and will keep you guessing until the end. I have to admit I was thinking it was going to be more of a guy movie , but …

Blade Trinity movie
Just when you think they could not do better than the original and the sequel…they came out with Trinity…BAD IDEA. It’s nice that they wanted to bring the first, the original vampire into the mix of things, but, they did a real terrible job with his portayal. Dracula (Drake) …
Original Sin movie
British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …
Night of the Living Dead, horror film by Tom Savini
I got bored the other night and picked a random DVD from my collection, by closing my eyes, opening up a page from my booklet, and pointed. The end result was the Night of the Living Dead, the 90s version. When I first saw this movie back in junior …

Until They Sail movie
I can’t believe I’ve never seen Until They Sail until now. As a fan of Paul Newman, I’ve tried to see most of his films at least once, but somehow this 1957 black and white film slipped through the cracks. I’m even more amazed because of the …
Awake movie
Normally, when I watch a thriller, I find myself getting a bit bored at some point. After all, the thrills part of it will only last so long.
That wasn’t the case with the movie Awake. That’s because you have a good combination of thriller and mystery.
Hayden Christensen plays a …

The movie Home On The Range
Home On The Range was, in my opinion, not one of Disney’s best movies. I had absolutely no desire to see this movie when it came out. I saw the trailer and was completely and totally unimpressed by they movie. However even though I had decided …
The Last King of Scotland
I just watched the movie “The Last King of Scotland” and was delighted. I saw the previews in the theatre about a year ago and looked forward to seeing the movie. However when it came to the local cinema I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule and …
The Body Guard movie
This is one of my favorite movie by Whitney Houston and Bruce Willis. I really enjoyed watching this movie since the story line was simple yet meaningful. I love how it was made into a drama-action film. I am a fan of Whitney Houston as a singer and I …
The Titfield Thunderbolt - Film 1952

The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
Planet 51 Movie 2009
Normally I really enjoy kid’s movies, especially with high tech CGI animation. I didn’t know much about this one when I rented it, other than Gary Oldman was one of the voice actors, and he is one of my favorites. After watching the film I still do …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …
Movie Only You
Only You starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., is a funny, charming and shamelessly romantic movie. It does not pretend to be anything other than it is, it is a movie for people who love romantic comedies, and who love the concept of romance, and believe that it …

Behind Enemy Lines Movie
I have never seen Owen Wilson do quite a serious part such as a soldier/sniper and in this movie he did a very good job, he was a Lieutenant here Gene Hackman was also there as Owen’s admiral and commander. I say Owen did a great part here because …
