Star Trek: Generations
I was never a huge Star Trek the Next Generation fan until I was in college and I had a roommate get me hooked on it. So, when the movie Star Trek: Generations came out, I didn’t make a whole of effort to see it.
After seeing it a couple …
Just Like Heaven movie
I’m not a teeny pinky type of person who likes “pop culture”. But, I must say, though the movie “Just Like Heaven” considered as a romatic-comedy that is the target crowd was kind of teens turns out nicely nice.
It is indeed a light kind of movie with a justified …
Miami Vice (2006)
Don’t rent or buy this movie if you’re expecting to see a big screen version of “Miami Vice” that mirrors the slick coolness of the television show it is based upon. Colin Farrell, as Detective Sonny Crockett, doesn’t come anywhere close to having Don Johnson’s rakish swagger. …
Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …
All About Steve film
I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …
Happy Feet
Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.
An approximation of the true nature of how …
The Pink Panther movie
This is one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. Although the plot is predictable and somewhat cheesy, the character’s ridiculous antics make the movie absolutely hilarious. Martin’s mispronunciation of the word “hamburger” splits my side every time. The contrast between serious and silly members of the …
Happy Feet Animated Movie
Happy Feet is a great animated movie from director George Miller,which does some can remember per attractively movie “Babe:Pig in the City”, 1998. Again, Miller has succeed in making very cute animated movie in which through all story pull very serious contemporary problem - unreasonable hunting fish who for …
Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …
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 …
abalonemoon.com
Abalone Moon is an excellent example of a literary e-zine. The URL address is http://www.abalonemoon.com and I thoroughly examined this e-zine on the 16th of April. As stated by Abalone Moon, they publish “poetry, interviews, prose, essays, reviews, photography and visual art.” It also states a central theme. …

“Snatch.” is a Guy Ritchie production with a similar story line to the movies “Lock, Stock and Two Barrels” and “Pulp Fiction”. This is the movie were you see Brad Pitt speak with a funny accent that can be hardly understood and it is also the movie were you …
Om Shanti Om
I recently bought a VCD of Om Shanti Om as i was desperate to see the Shah Rukh starrer on my screen, considering all the hype around the movie, it was not up to the mark but yeah it was not far from it either. The movie started with a …

Lenny Live (documentary)
Years ago I watched a documentary on Lenny Kravitz that showed who he was BEFORE he became the big time superstar. It centered a lot on his personal life, and his child with Lisa Bonet, Zoey. In this documentary, Lenny’s daughter is well into her teens …
Sense and Sensibility Movie
Sense and Sensibility, 1995, starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson is a very good adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic. When their father dies, the Dashwood family is left with very little means to live on. The house and everything in it is inherited by Mr. Dashwood’s son John from …
The 13th Warrior (1999 movie)
Where do they get these ideas from? An Arab travels to the north countries where he is chosen to accompany 12 Viking warriors on a mission to seek out and destroy a dark evil. Antonio Banderas plays the role of the ill-fated Arab with his long-winded name…I wouldn’t even …
The Lake House
I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 2

I just finished watching the documentary called “God Grew Tired of Us.” It starts out with the story of thousands of young men who have to flee their country, Sudan, as a violent war breaks out. These young men are forced to leave their families and many …
Last Holiday 2006 movie
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times now; it’s decent. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you think of and then you HAVE to see it, but it’s a pleasant movie to watch if it happens to be on.
Some of the acting is pretty good, …
Bed of Roses
The movie “Bed of Roses” represents an attempt from Christian Slater to make another movie similar to “Untamed Heart”. This movie came at a time where Slater wanted to move on with his acting career and leave his past bad boy image behind him. Through this movie Slater failed …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Movie
I have always maintained that the best books to be made a movie are the fantasy books (witness Lord of the Rings the movie). I was eagerly awaiting the third movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because I wanted to see how well the new casts such …
Movie Mirrors
Last night, my friends and I watched Keifer Sutherland’s Mirrors. We saw the trailer before watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2and were really enraptured. Anyway, it’s supposed to be a horror film so we made sure to watch it at night. :)
The plot’s really simple: An ex-detective, Sutherland …
The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …
Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …
GI Joe
We finally got around to watching the new GI Joe movie last night and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. The previews looked interesting but the movie looked like it would have way too much going on at once and would be confusing.
It turned out to be a …
The Departed (2006)
The Departed hosts an all star cast of Hollywood’s best and most famous actors. Showcasing the corruption that has turned a police department completely upside down. If you have not watched this amazing movie before, trust me when I tell you, that you will not be disappointed! Suspense galore …
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010 Film)
In 2010, a film starring Michael Cera came out that looked to be something extremely interesting and a movie that he will be well known for. It was called “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”. Sad to say, that this film did not really hold the wow factor that I …
The Happening
I just watched the happening last night from a download. The movie started in Central Park New York. From the very beginning of the movie, it freaked me out. I could not look when the girl suddenly took the chopsticks out of her hair then stick it in to …
Wild hogs
Whoever decided to cast a “buddy” movie with Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence & William H Macy as the co-starring friends was truely inspired. Sometimes when you have too much talent it can backfire, but these four pulled it off really well.
Scrubs John McGinley has a …
Movie The Hangover
The Hangover was definitely a guy’s comedy. Telling the story of the morning after a friend’s bachelor party, where the 3 groomsmen wake up with no memory of the previous evening, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet, this movie definitely appeals to the …
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)

Vampires: The Turning movie
There is a good reason behind why I find it hard to like many of John Carpenter’s movies. I find that most of them are mediocre with inferior acting, terrible makeup, a silly plot, and even sillier script and so on. Thus, like many of John Carpenter’s movies, “Vampires: …
Into The Woods - The Movie
Last night when I went to watch “Into the Woods”, I was excited with expectations of watching a splendid musical. Although it includes scenes of great quality, I felt it lacks the strength to be called an exceptional movie. It’s a good musical, but the evolution of the characters …
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Pulp Fiction (1994) is the second film from contraversial director Quentin Tarantino and is definitely a film masterpiece. Out of his 5 films, this one passes all the rest in both originality and clever dialogue.
The story is told in 3 different parts that all have something to do …
Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.
In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brandert, a dorky overweight teenager turned superstar. In high school, he was enormously overweight and in love with his best friend Jamie, who only saw them as friends, …
Mission Impossible 3 (movie)
My boyfriend and I are serious movie freaks…we own a serious amount of DVD’s and go to see new movies all the time. So naturally, we went to see M:I 3 on it’s opening weekend. Theatres were packed. Line ups and waits were ridiculous. And as always, you had …
Movie Toy Story
Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …
Prancer movie
Even though I was burned out on Christmas movies, I did spend a great deal of time Christmas Eve watching them with my family. One of those movies was the film Prancer. And, after seeing that movie I definitely was ready to turn them off.
Prancer is an OK film. …
Killa Season: The Movie
Killa Season is an amature movie which had a very low budget and very few cameras and when you watch the movie you will see why nobody should ever make a movie this way. Appearing in this “gangster” movie are rap stars Juelz Santana, Hell Rell and Cam’ron and …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
A Night at the Roxbury (1998)
A Night at the Roxbury (1998) is a comedy by directors Peter Markle and John Fortenberry and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sex related humor, language and some drug content.

The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
My Blue Heaven
This past weekend was the first time I had a chance to sit down and watch the movie My Blue Heaven. It was an OK film but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to be and almost a waste of my time this past weekend.
I’m usually a …
