In a nutshell the film “August Rush” is about fate and dreams. What is fantastic about this great movie is that the young actor, Freddie Highmore acting abilities are simply wonderful. Before “August Rush”, Highmore also appeared in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Finding Neverland”.
The story of “August …

Tales From The Crypt DVD
I recently bought over the internet the complete set of all the Tales From The Crypt episodes. I always liked this TV show and now in one huge jewel case I have all the episodes in 22 comfortable dvd’s. Unfortunately thought the quality isn’t too great, given the fact …
Movie Angels and Demons
I am a big fan of Dan Brown’s novels. They are, for me, the kind of books that I could finish in one sitting, simply because they are too thrilling that I can’t keep my hands off it. So when it was announced that this is going to be …
The Fearless Four
Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …
Wolf Movie
I love werewolf movies. But, until last night, I had never seen the 1994 film, Wolf.
Well, I finally got a chance to see it and found it really wasn’t worth the wait.
Jack Nicholson is pretty decent as a business man who gets bit by a wolf and starts turning …
9 To 5
At the heart of this movie is a sexist jerk of a boss, played by Dabney Coleman. The soul of the story is divided into three: Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton (her first film), and Jane Fonda. Lily is the office manager, Dolly the creepy boss’ secretary, and Jane is …
Disney’s Cars 2 Movie
I recently took my almost 2 year old son to see Cars 2. He is a huge Cars fan, so of course he was very excited to know he would be seeing McQueen and Mater. Unfortunately though, I believe Cars 2 is more geared towards an older audience and …
2 Fast 2 Furious Movie 2003
When it comes to car chase movies, Fast and Furious movies have taken them to a whole new level. While they don’t really fall under some of my favorite films that I go out of my way to watch, they have great looking cars and cool car chases to …
Signs (movie)
The director of this movie, M. Night Shyamalan, first gained critical acclaim with his psychological thriller with The Sixth Sense. While I agree that was a very good movie, I believe Signs to be the stronger of the two. This movie would probably go on my top …

Movie : Rumour Has It
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …

Horton Hears a Who is an animated movie based on a classic book by Dr. Suess. The main characters in the movie are voiced by Steve Carrell, Jim Carrey, and Carol Burnett. Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey) is an elephant who lives in harmony with the other animals in …

Godzilla: Final Wars

The Tourist movie
This movie is about Angelina Jolie going to Europe and a lot of men watching. Men who repeatedly insisted to call her Elise Ward. I never understood why, the film is about Angelina Jolie that goes to and through Europe and the following are watching her: French police, the …
Hannibal Rising
When I heard they were making a movie about how Hannibal Lecter became a cannibal, I was both excited but skeptical. The plot in Hannibal Rising sounded promising but I didn’t think it was a Hannibal movie without Anthony Hopkins playing the starring role.
Overall though, after watching the film, …
Dragonball Evolution (The Movie)
Since 1980’s, I’ve always watched Japanese anime. Most of Japanese animes are really good. That’s my personal opinion though. One of the animated films that I always love watching is the Dragonball Z series. Sometime in the 90’s, there was an animated movie on this. But just this year, …
LadyHawke film
LadyHawke is one of Matthew Broderick’s better films even though most people probably haven’t seen it.
The movie is full of medieval fantasy and magic as he tries to help a couple that is cursed. The woman is a hawk by day and the man a wolf by night, keeping …
The Vow Movie
One of my favorite actors is Channing Tatum and when it comes to actress, it should be Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock and Kate Hudson. I enjoyed the film Mean Girls not because of Lindsay Lohan but because of the contentious character of Rachel McAdams. I became a loyal fan …
Flu Bird Horror movie
The movie Flu Bird Horror is in my top 20 list of one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen on television. Nevertheless, even though it is in that list, it is further down the bottom since unfortunately, I have seen worse bring broadcast on the …
Time Changer
Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
Almost Famous movie
The self-biographical film by Cameron Crowe in which a young music journalist gets to travel around america with a rock band and experience the same thing they do. Almost Famous is a film about growing up, being an individual, but also a very touching portrait of the people associated …
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 …
Now You See Me (movie)

Old movies, done well whether they are in black and white or in color are sometimes …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …
War of the Worlds 2 Movie
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn’t exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures …
The Dead Girl movie
Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …

Picnic At Hanging Rock came to me in an unexpected way. I saw it on the Independent Film Channel and while it was a little weird, I knew I had to see Picnic At Hanging Rock again. The film is made in Australia, and I have not seen many …

Went to watch Pirates Of Carribean, but again I landed up in the theatre in odd time. I miss the movies many a times due to the start timings and wish to watch a movie from the start. This time I didnt want to go back home without watching …
Chernobyl Diaries 2012 Movie
I honestly expected more from the creator of Parnormal Activity Oren Peli. Many people seem to have mistaken this for a found-footage flick possibly due to Peli’s first series Paranormal Activity being found-footage or the fact that even though it’s NOT a found-footage movie they still wave the camera …

Corpse Bride movie
I think Corpse Bride was a great film. It was very dark and had lots of feeling in it. And it was a tale told in the classic Tim Burton style. I really liked the story and thought it was both very dark, yet very romantic. I really loved the …

Wayne’s World
I gotta say that Wayne’s World is a pretty good movie. It is one of my best memories of the past. I think the movie was really funny and very crazy. I think Wayne was a very funny character. The movie Wayne’s World really captured the essence of what the …
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman movie (2005)
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman is one my favorite movies from the Director Tyler Perry. I personally consider it to be one of his classics and better written stories. Compared to some of his latest films, this one is actually gripping because the storyline is true and happens to …
Death in Love Movie (2008)
Death in love is not a usual kind of movie, which generally was not accepted well by neither the critics nor the public. And do not blame them one bit. Death in love in unconventional, not clearly structured, and the topics dealt within this movie are just all over …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Although both my parents are adamant that I watched this movie with them in the theater, my earliest memory of watching this movie was when I watched this on video at my cousin’s house when I was still a young child in the early nineties. I can’t remember thinking …
