I recently went to the cinema to see Django Unchained - having already seen the trailer, I was quite fascinated by it.
I must say that it was money well spent. The movie is fairly long (almost three hours), but it keeps you alert, thanks to its plot, its music …

I signed up with Columbia House DVD. I got a certain number of DVDs for I believe, 99 cents each with the requirement that I purchase 4 DVDs at regular price in the next 2 years. I didn’t think that would be a problems. However, everytime I went in …

If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …

I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …

I watched the movie The Notebook some time ago and thought it was a pretty decent, unique movie. But, today, I ended up watching it again. I’m not sure why. But, I just didn’t like the film as much as I thought I did.
Perhaps my views and preferences have …

I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …

Screwed is a very funny movie and I couldn’t suppress my laughter throughout the movie. It has so many comedy scenes one after another that people can not control their laughter. I faced the same problem throughout the movie when I watched in theater some years ago. It …

I just recently saw the movie Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. It is a finnish movie and it rates as 6.9/10 in IMDB that is why I decided to see it. I like foreign films and this looks quite interesting for me. The title itself boggled me for a …

I really enjoyed watching this movie. I wouldn’t really say it was scary, I would say it was more freaky. I really liked it though. It kept me interested and entertained the whole movie. I wasn’t bored at any part. The actors did a good job and it was …

Hands down, this is the sweetest movie ever. Not some sappy chick flick, but a simple romantic comedy.
Kudos to the one who came up with such a cute idea about making a movie about first love. I mean, there are tons of movies out there about first love, but …

The Godfather is my favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it. Al Pacino, James Cann, Robert Duvall, and Marlon Brando play their roles with tremendous ability. They make their roles come alive and make the mafia family seem real. I especially like Maroln Brando as Vito …

One of the truly beautiful and often overlooked classics of the 1950’s, MGM’s Lili is not only a great family film but one that speaks to the romantic in all of us.

Everyone already knows that fast food is bad for you. When it comes to movies, Supersize Me covered that quite thoroughly. But what if that hamburger wasn’t just packed with calories, but also possibly contained something far worse? That’s the premise, on the surface at least, of Fast Food …

Sidney Lumet is perhaps one of the most underrated american directors in my opinion with great films like 12 Angry Men, Serpico and Long Day’s Journey Into Night on his account. Dog Day Afternoon shows Al Pacino in one of his major roles as a bank robber, and also …

Not being a fan of either Rowan Atkinson (who plays Johnny English) nor a fan of James Bond, it often surprises me that this DVD version of the film is in my collection at all. Every so often when the mood is right it is taken out and …

Of the Mel Gibson movies I’ve seen, I wouldn’t put The Patriot toward the top of the list. But, it is still a good historical fiction film to consider on a weekend when you want to feel a bit more patriotic.
The thing I like about this movie is it …

I am reviewing the last installment of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings series, The Return of the King, which was released around 2003. This is by far my favorite in the series. This movie focuses on Frodo’s continuous battle with the ring’s power on him, the power of …

I would describe this recent release as nothing special but okay. While it is probably not going to become a beloved classic, this family-oriented movie is warm, clean, funny at times, and it tries to deliver a positive message. In a nutshell, a tough NFL football player too full …

This is one of Brendan Fraser’s best comedies and is a great film for the family to watch.

I am a big fan of horror movies, but not gore. Most movies with tons of gore seem to use it as a substitute for plot or character development. When I find a movie that is genuinely creepy without resorting to gore or cheap scares, I take notice.
Dorothy …

I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …

I’ve been hearing about the movie “We Need to Talk about Kevin” for some months now, and despite watching the trailer and feeling like I had to watch it, I never actually got a chance to until very recently. The result of this was that I was very impressed …

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 …

When Gremlins was first released, I was not allowed to see it being too young. My older sister and her best friend were taken to the theater to see the film while I stayed with my Grandfather. I remember that I got a teddy bear in compensation.
