The Spy Who Loved Me movie
The third 007 film starring Roger Moore is one of my favorites. The background story is the usual: someone is threatening to take over the world and Bond has to stop him. What really is unusual about this film, and this amazed me more than anything when I first …
The Wedding Date movie
When I rented the Wedding Date with my wife, I thought it was going to be just another chick flick with a sappy plot. However, I found it was actually a very funny and entertaining movie.
Debra Messing is absolutely stunning in this film as she plays a single woman …
Men In Black
I am totally fascinated about this movie. That may be because prior to watching, I never had any idea what this was all about. And that turned out to be everything I have never imagined that I would be seeing in this movie. I may …
Duplicity
I normally loathe watching or reading romantic books and movies; thus I had absolutely no intention to watch the romance comedy film Duplicity until one of my friends somehow managed to trick me into watching it with her. Unlike her promises that the movie would get better, I found …
Happy Feet Movie
We found a copy of the Happy Feet movie at a bookstore here and snapped it up. We bought it because we are animation movie fans especially movies made by Pixar. My hubby and I expected this movie to be good. It started out Okay. There was a penguin …
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998)
You will not have to worry about entertaining the little ones while watching this movie as, similar to that of a cartoon, this movie will have them pinned down for a good while watching utter rubbish as the usually watch on a daily basis. Do not worry about trying …
Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Movie
I admit that it’s hard for me to describe the impressions that I have of this “Harry Potter” film in words, because “The Order of the Phoenix ” grabbed me from the start and did not let me go until the very finale , continually stunning me with its …
Batman Begins (DVD)
After a full decade of substandard Batman movies finally the caped crusader has something to cheer about. And what a surprise, too! The sheer number of lukewarm reviews this movie received was enough to make me hesitate to see it. The only person I know who actually gave this …
Road House movie
Some movies achieve cult status, and that is exactly what has happened to Road House, the movie in which Patrick Swayze stars as the philosophical bar bouncer, Dalton. To be precise, Dalton is the cooler, the man in charge of the staff that keeps his bars safe for …
Daniel Craig’s take on James Bond
Right when I had gotten used to Pierce Brosnan as Bond they took him away from me. This after they took away Timothy Dalton, who I thought brilliant, after a mere two films. Even though I disliked many of the Brosnan Bond films, I loved Goldeneye and even found …
Fast & Furious 6 (movie)
With some great action, street racing, lightning fast cars and insane racers the previous Fast and Furious movies had delivered exceptionally well. The latest movie that released in this series was Fast and Furious 6 that claimed to have the same adventure and action of street racing like the …
Day of the Dead movie
Perhaps not as seminal as Night of the Living Dead, and certainly not as loved as Dawn of the Dead; Day of the Dead often seems the forgotten third child in Romero’s zombie saga. But, whilst it may lack the crude and creepy charm of Night, and the raging …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my 2nd favorite Potter film out of the first five, but just like with Prisoner of Azkaban it took some time for me to get adjust.
Here’s what …
Major League
Major League with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, and Bob Uecker.
There have been many sports movies, but I would classify this film as being in the top three of all time. We all love to root for the underdog …
City Pulse movie theater
As a great Hollywood movie freak I like to watch them in theaters. Very few Hollywood movie releases in India. Anyways City Pulse is the only theater near to our college otherwise all of them are at least 20kms far. So for every movie I go there. The parking …
King Kong vs. Godzilla
King Kong vs. Godzilla is the first color Godzilla movie, and in a way, I kind of wish that it was not. Both King Kong and Godzilla look ugly and fake as do the sets and the military tanks and other artillery. I also do not like how the …
Boogie Nights (1997 film)
“Boogie Nights” finds director Paul Thomas Anderson (”Magnolia,” There Will Be Blood”) absorbing some amazing influences in both cinematography, structure and storytelling, rolling them all together and making the result uniquely his own.

Confessions of a Shopaholic movie

Rainman
Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …
The Butler (2013 Film)
The Butler is one of those movies that I like to call a quiet movie that’s meant for winding down. You don’t turn on this kind of movie, ready for action or something intensely graphic to happen. It’s a movie that tells you a deep rooted story. My review …
Gone With The Wind
Gone With The Wind is a classic, there is no question about that. It is a well-made and well-acted movie that tells a good story. However, I must say that I find it almost unwatchable at times because I absolutely hate Scarlett O’Hara. Don’t get me wrong: Vivien Leigh …
Taken, movie
Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …
High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
Twister movie
If you ever want to rent a movie to learn more about Tornadoes, the film Twister is the one you should avoid.
Living in an area that averages a dozen tornadoes each year, I can tell you that, 1. Tornadoes do not suddenly change course to chase after you, 2. …
Sally and Saint Anne movie
This is a wonderful movie about faith and belief, Sally O’Moyne style. Ann Blyth plays Sally, a Catholic teenager who believes in Saint Anne so much that she prays to her for everything. Amazingly, a lot of things begin to happen for Sally when she prays to …
Keeping the Faith movie
As far as movies are concerned, I’m not really sure if Keeping the Faith is a good one or just slightly above average. I’m leaning toward the latter but feel Ben Stiller carries it a bit further than that. Without him, I don’t think this movie would be even …
The Fox and the Hound 2
The Fox and the Hound is a good film for me. I really find it enjoyable to see a movie about friendship and love. I love dogs that’s why I thought of watching this movie. Its really nice to see them singing. Although its just anecdotal in nature an …

Ice Age 4 Continental Drift 2012 Movie
I will be one of the first people to say that when I saw the preview for Ice Age 4 Continental Drift released in 2012, I thought —˜Oh No, not another one!’ Not that I didn’t like the first three because I did. I loved them. I was just …
