The Disappointments Room (Horror Movie)
I guess this film lives up to its title, it is indeed rather disappointing. It’s boring and not scary at all.
First of all, the plot is very overused. Dana is suffering from depression and is on medication after the lost of her baby daughter. Her doctor recommended that she moved …

X-men Origins: Wolverine
I tried to avoid watching this movie for a long time. I heard how they had mangled Deadpool who is one of my favorite comic book characters into an unrecognizable mess, and consequently I decided that I wouldn’t encourage this sort of thing by giving any of my …
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (the movie)
This is the first movie of the Harry Potter series and the best one according to me. In this movie all the characters have been introduced and the magical world makes it first appearance. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) makes his appearance as Harry Potter in this film. Harry Potter …
Thor the movie
The movie Thor was a very interesting movie. The characters were well thought out. Something surprising about this movie was that it was very funny and not too dramatic. My favorite character was the scientist’s assistant Darcy, she had a good sense of humor and kept things light when …
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, movie
Coming off of two moderately successful films, the third Fast and Furious film drops the likes of Pual Walker and Vin Diesel and takes a turn back to driving roots. There is no drug plot, no criminal investigation, this movie is about driving fast and the art of drifting.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …
Twilight- Movie
My thirteen year old daughter is in love with the Twilite Movie. She has even read the book she liked it so much, and she is not one to read a book if it wasn’t an assignment. I can’t say as I loved the movie, but it is a …

My Week with Marilyn Monroe (movie)

Tripping the Rift Season 1 DVD
Tripping the Rift is an unusual show. It has a fairly solid basis as a science fiction spoof: sure it has been done before but there is so much material to be found that there is still much to be done and new fodder is always being developed …

Final Destination 5 (movie)
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 …

Something about Mary movie
“Something about Mary” is the most successful movie for the Farrelly brothers. They tried to recreate the same atmosphere in another movie “Me, Myself and Irene” and failed miserably. This movie is also Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller passport to success because, before this movie, they were not very …
Get Hard (comedy movie)
Despite its fairly mediocre rating on IMDB, I actually didn’t mind watching the movie “Get Hard”. Since Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were playing the main roles in it, expected something very raunchy and not as funny. However, one or two people I know told me it wasn’t bad. …

Two Weeks Notice
It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …

This is the kind of adventure production that is often showed on the channel of Hallmark. That is, low budget films …
Love, Actually movie

The Eye
Most of the time, when I watch a so-called thriller, I find it to be more boring than scary. In fact, I usually find myself laughing at scenes that should be terrifying me.
This wasn’t the case with the movie The Eye. I have to say, after watching it last …
