Transformers
It has been long time that I was able to watch such a wonderful movie. I don’t know whether most of them agree with it or no but I just love the movie. The way the camera rolls over the fights and scenes and comedy was more interesting and …

Devil wears prada
I watched this movie about a week ago. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy but there was nothing funny about it. It was getting late and I was really close to just turning it off and going to sleep. It wasn’t that entertaining to watch and …

American Gun
I was a bit surprised that I did not hear about this movie when it was being released in theatres. However, I realised later that it was probably because I was a bit busy at the time. I thought that this movie had some fairly good acting in it …
Desperado Movie
I didn’t want to watch Desperado. I resisted for a lon gtime, but finally and reluctantly, I had to give in and watch at least one action movie, and I picked this one. Thankfully so.
This moview strikes an elegant balance between the amusing and tragic, between love …
Movie 17 Again
I recently ordered 17 Again from Netflix. I had mixed feelings about it. It was mildly entertaining with some cute parts, and I am a big fan of Michelle Trachtenburg, who plays the main character Mike’s daughter. Otherwise, the movie was a little cheesy and unrealistic. …

It is now finally official, the once boy wizard who is known as the one to destroy Voldemort has come to the end of his legacy. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 came out in 2011 and was expected to be nothing short of a magical and …
Life of Brian movie
The Monty Python crew makes fun of old religious values. Brian is born on the same day as Jesus and is stalked by the life of this man for the rest of his life. The film is more of a series a brilliant sketches than a film with a …

Movie Ghost
I am a Demi Moore fan and this is one of her movies that I really love. I love how the story was made because it shows about true love and its really romantic one with a little twist of comedy. I enjoyed watching it since most of the …
White Chicks movie
Where do I start, and where do I find the words to describe this disgusting piece of trash?… Two black FBI agents, Kevin and Marcus Copeland, played by the Wayans brothers, go undercover as two white girls, posing as celebrity sisters who are under the threat of kidnapping. You …
Movie Superman
If you super hero fan type than you have to see Superman. It has a great story plot that explains exactly how superman became who he is. Did you know that the movie did so well it came in first in it’s first week? Yes! It’s filled with action, …
Over The Hedge
I bought a copy of this movie because the cover catch my attention. I thought that it was not that good since at the start of the film it was more about stealing and being greedy, yet while I was watching it, I became more eager to finish the …
Shrek the 3rd
When I heard they were coming out with a third Shrek movie, my gut reaction was the producers were going too far and there was no way they could strike gold a third time. That�s why I avoided seeing it in the theater.
This past week, when it came out …

Ong-bak, directed by Prachya Pinkaew is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for sequences of strong violence, language, some drug use and sexuality.

A Lot Like Love movie
Have you ever seen the movie “A Lot like Love” with Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet? I’m guessing it’s been out for a while because I saw it last week on Encore. When I read the preview listed on the channel guide, it didn’t look that appealing, but since …
Charlie’s Angels
I must give credit to Drew Barrymore for bringing to the big screen “Charlie’s Angels” with the girls not using firearms but instead using martial arts to defend themselves. The angels Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz had to undergo 3 months martial arts training …
Silent hill Movie
Silent hill is based on a very sickening, disturbing and horror story, something that most people like to see now adays and a kind movie that is very rare. Previously Silent hill was released as games and in japan in the form of comics aswell. I just went mad …
Movie: 9 to 5
I finally got a chance to relax about 9 last night, after putting both kids to bed and feeding the cat. Since my wife (who somehow manages to get out of helping me at night) was already in bed, I figured I would try to find a movie or …
The Associate movie
I viewed The Associate starring Whoopie Goldberg. This moive is very funny.
Whoopi Goldberg plays Laurel Ayres. A woman executive who finds it hard to get promotions and even recognition. She creates a male associate.
This creates almost continuous humor. Ayres pretends to work with Robert …
Movie: From Within
Synopsis: A small, religious community sees its world flipped upside down when community members begin killing themselves one by one. Is it some sort of suicide pact or does a family once accused of practicing witchcraft have something to do with it?
What I liked about this movie: This movie, …
Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen Movie
Midnight in Paris is a romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen. He is a very controversial character that has given us many motion pictures, some good ones but also some really odd. I never know what to expect from Woody Allen but I try to watch every …
The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …
Dragon Heart movie
When I first rented Dragon Heart, I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. I was pleasantly surprised about how good it was and have watched it several times since.
Sean Connery has always been a star but I truly feel his voice over for Draco, the dragon, …
An American Crime (R, 2007) movie
This is one film that a lot of Ellen Page fans have probably missed out on. This movie follows the chilling, and true story of Sylvia Likens. Sylvia was a 16 year old girl killed in the mid 1960’s through a long, drawn out case …
Crank Jason Statham
I was already a fan of Jason Statham because I fell in love with his gorgeous accent. I can’t resist a man with an accent. This film is definitely fast paced. You do not have time to sit and wonder what happens next. It keeps moving and moving and …
She’s All That
When I was still in my earlier years of high school, there were quite a number of teenage romance movies which were released in theatres. One of these movies was a movie called “She’s All That” which starred the actors Freddie Prince Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook. Unlike many …
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 …
Pulse (movie)
I sat down and watched this movie with my whole family. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It was original and unique, not like a lot of other movies out today. It had it’s own storyline to it. There was hardly any gory parts in the movie, if …
Movie Help Me Help You
Help Me Help You with Ted Danson.
I never thought very highly of Ted Danson’s acting on TV, but he has shown me a more effective portrayal in this series. I think that the difference is the similarity to his Cheers days in which he …
Slumdog Millionaire
Directed by Danny Boyle, this is a story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the most memorable day of his life. With the whole nation watching him on television, he is just a question away from winning a …
Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
The Pacifier movie
I really love this movie. Its a fresh role for Vin Diesel, I love how much he acted on this movie. I really love the comedy with all the military discipline he was trying to rule over the children. I really like it so much since its really very …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
The Haunted Mansion
This 2003 release was obviously meant to be a “spooky comedy” of sorts, with ghosts and zombies who come alive in their tomb in a most inconvenient time. Perhaps some kids liked it, and perhaps it was okay to watch once for some adults. But to me, it was …
Guru (movie)
I had recently watched the movie Guru (Hindi Version) directed by the veteran director Manirathnam. I normally don’t have patience to watch any movie till the end. But this movie made me sit for the entire 2.5 hrs. The story is about how a normal villager becomes a business …
“Alice Adams” (1935) starring Katharine Hepburn
The 1935 “Alice Adams” was produced in black and white by RKO. The movie is based on the novel by Booth Tarkington. “Alice Adams” runs 99 minutes which is a little too long as parts are slow. The beginning twenty minutes and the ending twenty minutes make the movie …
Movie My Life in Ruins
I was lucky enough to see a screening of the movie My Life in Ruins, but I think I had to considering it was a romantic comedy and I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies. It was pretty much what I expected it to be, though I still enjoyed …
Game Plan movie
Even though I do think he’s a bit overrated, I’ve always liked watching former pro wrestler The Rock in movies.
While his newest movie, Game Plan is far from being unique, I will admit he pulled it off.
The Rock plays a professional football quarterback who finds out he has …
Movie The Vengeance of the Mummy (1973)
A totally demented Paul Naschy film that, to my knowledge, was the last of the shambling, old school style mummy movies featuring a rampaging, bandaged monster.
Paul plays the role of the Mummy as well as the Mummy’s evil assistant and he does so to the hilt. A very violent …
Unlikely Angel movie
Unlikely Angel is a holiday movie from 1996 which stars Dolly Parton as a rather selfish country music performer (aside from the selfish part, not a big stretch … again) who dies suddenly. Being egotistical, Ruby Diamond can’t enter Heaven without doing a good deed first, so it’s …
What Happens in Vegas film
When I first saw the movie “What happens in Vegas” advertising to be released in theatres late last year I was a bit annoyed that they had released yet another romance comedy movie which I just knew was to going to be very funny or interesting. Another reason why …
House of Wax 2005
I watched this movie back when it was releasing in 2005 my friends was telling me how it was going to be terrible and Paris Hilton being in it was absolutely going to ruin it. However, one night out we were bored out of our minds so we …
22 Jump Street (comedy movie)
22 Jump Street was one of the movies that I looked forward to seeing the most this year. This was because I enjoyed the first one so immensely that I couldn’t help being curious about what idea the writers were going to use for the second one. Actually getting to …
One Hour Photo movie
“One Hour Photo” is the movie that caused people to view Robin Williams from an entirely different perspective. I (like dozens of others) am used to seeing Robin in his typical comedic roles. I have seen him perform in touching dramas, and love stories. So to …
Bewitched’s Broom Stick Plummets
Don’t waiste your time with this movie! As Hollywood runs out of ideas their next genuis is to disgrace the name of American classics. First of all, Nicole Kidman (Samantha), although however a brilliant actress she has been, is boring and unoriginal in this movie. All her movements and …
With Six You Get Eggroll
Doris Day’s final theatrical film was one her late husband had obligated her to do, entitled With Six You Get Eggroll. It’s a movie that is reminiscent of Yours, Mine, and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. To me, this was a smaller scale version …
