Ready to Rumble movie
Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …
The Europeans (1979)
This 1979 movie has failed my expectations, big time. It is based on a novel by Henry James, and the story is set in 1850s � my favorite timeframe, so I thought I was going to love it. A wealthy American family lives a comfortable life in their house …
Paris When It Sizzles: A film by Richard Quine (1964)
In my fascination to the whole 60’s period, there couldn’t be a more concrete illustration of what it’s like to live in those days, other than movies created at that time. My own definition of a good time spent in front of the screen —“ is a combination …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …
The Mind’s Eye
The Mind’s Eye is a very stunning and magical movie. The movie is very unique because it is all art with music. There are not human actors or scripts. You just see segments of digital art move to the sound of beautiful music. I really love this video and it …
Movie : Superstar (1999)
Superstar is yet another in a long line line of films based on short skits from the popular variety television show Saturday Night Live. There has been a few of these skit to movie translations over the hears heralding such comedic successes as WAYNE’S WORLD, A NIGHT AT THE …
Erin Brokovich Movie
In my opinion, Erin Brokovich is by far the best movie Julia Roberts has ever made. It’s great to see her star in something much more relevant and worthwhile than so many of her other offerings.
It tells the story of (no surprises here), Erin Brokovich, who is a …
Red 2 (movie)
I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …

Film Some Like It Hot
One of my favourite films of all time is Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and directed by Billy Wilder.
The film is a genuine classic, not some art house movie that everyone raves about for a month, never having really watched it or understood …
Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal (movie)
The first time when I saw “Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal” was a couple years ago when it first premiered on the cable television station Lifetime. At the time, I had mistaken it for another movie sharing a similar name, but when I watched it, even though I …

Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …

Jezebel
I was at a friend’s house recently and saw the movie Jezebel on the Turner Classic Movie channel, a channel I don’t get, but would love to.

Sin City (2005)
The 2005 film, Sin City, is based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller who also co-directed along with Robert Rodriguez. I can imagine that anyone who is a fan of such graphic novels will appreciate this film a lot more than I did, although I did find …
Burlesque movie
I was very excited when I first saw the preview for this movie. I mean really you can’t go wrong when you combine the powerhouse voice of Christina Aguilera and a legend like Cher. I was expecting a spectacular movie, filled with visually stimulating dance routines, costumes, songs, and …

Marley & Me (2008)

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 …
Star Trek (2009)
With a venerable liking for most things I’ve seen almost all of the movies and some shows, I must say that JJ did a nice work with this film. The director JJ Abrams has done a brilliant job in resurrecting an ailing franchise to the glee of millions of …

Solstice (PG-13, 2007)
I really tried hard to at least give this film a chance. I liked that it was set in Louisiana. I liked that the directors chose to focus on the solstice aspect. I even resigned myself to the fact that there would be several college kids …

As there are no famous actors in this series, I believe that the writers are the true stars. The cast is well chosen and work well together, but I feel that the complex, intriguing story lines are the factors that make this show a winner.

Tron Legacy movie
Tron Legacy is probably the best 3D movie I have ever seen. The graphics and the images were just awesome in this movie. But even in regular HD this movie truly does rock. If you are watching it on a home system I recommend watching it with huge speakers. You’re …

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is just a fabulous movie, rich in theme and substance. No matter how many times I watch this 1967 classic, it still touches my soul.
The performances just can’t be matched. Hepburn and Tracy, in their last coupling together on film, are dynamic, …

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
