Mean Girls: Bullying and Not Taking it Seriously
New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …
Transformers

The Day The Earth Stood Still
Director- Scott Dickerson
Cast- Keanu Reeves(Klaatu), Jennifer Connelly(Dr.Helen Benson), John Cleese(Noble prize winner Environmentalist)
This film is a remake of a 1951 classic science fiction film of the same name. Although most of the critics here in India gave it negative reviews my opinion stands otherwise. According to me this is …

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Universal International Studios struck a gold mine when they launched Ma and Pa Kettle in 1949. It would be the first of nine pictures focused on these country characters. However, Ma and Pa actually first began in another movie, one I enjoy a lot, called The Egg …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)
I was eager to see the movie “The Martian” for two reasons. The first was because I saw the trailer and it sounded as if it would be a good watch, and the second reason was because the director Ridley Scott is known for his iconic movies. After I finally …

The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …

The Notebook

Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof Part 2 movie
Part 2 of Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof took my dislike of Sandy Stern to a new level. In the span of a few months after his wife’s suicide, he’s involved with three different women. The guy is a jerk, and I just can’t stand him. …
Babel, the movie
I got to see the movie Babel with a friend last week, and we came out with mixed opinions. I liked the film, and she was less thrilled by it. We both agreed on several things, though. We agreed that the film is fairly interesting and …
Problem Child (1990)
Problem Child, taken from the pages of a comic book and tv series and tossed unto the silver screen with hopes of getting a hugh payday. This movie was a disaster from the very first time time it was even considered as being put into production for a feature …
Aelita-Queen of Mars
A russian silent film made aside from the artistic works of the montage industry. The director of this film was a man named Yakov Protazanov, and the story of it is a lot more conventional than other russian films of the time, and doesn’t demand all that much of …
Madagascar 2
I recently had a go at Madagascar 2 since the release of the first one. I remember the tons of popular names in the show that I really didn’t know who at that point of time.

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

As Good as It Gets, the movie (1997)
I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …
Love & Friendship (2016 Period Comedy Film)
Period dramas are not really my cup of tea although I must admit the fact that I love Downton Abbey to death. I was in a depressed mode when the final episode aired this time last year because it was so sad to watch a whole bunch of characters I’ve …
Notorious movie
From 1946, Notorious is a classic movie that has been respected and admired since it was made. It’s a movie of intrigue right from the start. It keeps you on your toes, uncertain of motivations and realities.
Filmed in black and white, Notorious stars Cary Grant as T.R. …
The Ocean’s Trilogy, 3 caper comedies films by Steven Soderbergh
There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …
Inception (2010 film)
In the 2010s a new director is threatening to steal the whole Hollywood show for himself-this director is quickly getting close to the very top of my list and his name is Cristopher Nolan-a film-maker whose every new film is better than the last one. His last one is …

It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …

Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Beerfest movie
I think the movie Beerfest was apparently trying somehow to fit into that genre of comedy which focuses mostly on sex, drinking, goofy situations and having fun but still manages to be hilarious. However, I think in this respect Beerfest failed miserably. It was one of the worst excuses …
Benhur
I do really appreciate the movie “Benhur.” For me it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The leading actor Charleton Hestone played his role excellently as well as other participants in the movie. It is the best religious film for men. I feel closer …

The Longest Yard (2005): movie
