The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …
Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
Sorority Row Motion Picture
I watched sorority row last night for the first time. I am a fan of horror movies and watch one at least once a week. This movie was fine. It was not the best or the worst movie I’ve seen in awhile. It …
Made of Honor
What if the one you love told you that he/she will be married?
If you are a woman, the answer can be found in “My Best Friend’s Wedding” but if you are a man, just find the answer in “Made of Honor”.

You Only Live Twice movie
A film about the british secret service agent yet again. This time the audience are lead to believe the hero dies in the first scene of the film, but evidently James Bond can not be killed. Sean Connery is clearly getting tired of the role by this time and …
Movie Silence of the Lambs
Rob and I like movies, we like old movies and new ones each contains a quality that is unique to thereselves. I like food movies and thrillers one such movie is Silence of the Lambs.
In this movie there are two really good actors, Anthony Hopkins, portrays Dr …
Tell No One - (starring Kristin Scott Thomas)
How would one feel when the wife of a few years dead in a high-profile murder case suddenly sends a message indicating her existence? That’s more or less the plot of Tell No One, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Francois Cluzet.
Margot is the name of the wife …

Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
I decided to see it in its full glory, …
Iron Man
Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …
Takers Movie (2010)
I found this movie interesting at first because it featured a nice cast including Matt Dillon, Jay Hernandez, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Chris Brown, T.I., and Zoe Saldana. The movie is all about a group of professional robbers trying a one-time, big-time heist but before they do their largest …

Film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Truly one of the most innovative films of the 1980’s, I don’t believe that anyone truly expected what this film was before they witnessed it.
I remember seeing it at the theater when I was around nine years old. I’d seen the advertisements, and while it sure did seem different …
I think I love my wife
“I think I love my wife” starring Chris Rock is raunchy, dirty, disturbing at times and wildy funny.
Basis of the movie is that Chris Rock plays a married man who is “****ing bored” with his life and a beautiful former friends enters the picture causing drama in …
From Dusk Till Dawn
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.
The idea of two outlaw brothers taking a family of three (who were …

Silver Streak Movie

I fell in …
Without a Trace Movie
This movie may be little known to the general public.But is shown frequently on most cable and satellite channels. It is one of the most heart warming and heart wrenching movies i’ve ever seen.It involves the disappearance of an 8 year old little boy on his way to school.The …
Friday the 13th Part 3
Friday the 13th part 3 is a movie that makes me laugh, though not in a good way. Part of it is the bad special effects, while a larger part is simply how dated the movie is after all these years. It makes me wonder how they ever based …
Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
Exiled (2007)
I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …
Mona Lisa Smile
‘Mona Lisa Smile’ is one of those unescapable feel-good movies that induce the viewer into a reverie of real world idealism. The everlasting quest of man for the template of an ideal mate for life is presented through the conservative faces of the movie.
The movie is set in an …

The Matrix is one of the best movie I have seen in my entire life. The storyline is just awesome. And the acting is just great. My favorite character would of course have to be Neo. The whole concept of The Matrix just blew me away. I was so impressed …

‘Kadhal Mannan’ was a debut film for the director Charan. Before that he was worked as an assistant director under K.Balachandar. The movie casts are Ajith, Manu, Vivek, M.S.Viswanathan, Girish Karnad, Kiran, etc. It was a superb romantic film and also with small action sequence. …

Thor (movie 2011)
Thor…Thor…Thor…
If you’ve never heard or read about norse mythology then this name might mean nothing to you. Apparently, I have a little background so I know who Thor is. Thor is the
God of thunder (that’s the only thing that I could remember though), in the movie he also …

The Dark Knight (2008 Film)
The 2008 film “The Dark Knight”, starring a terrific Christian Bale as Batman, and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, was even better than the first movie, “Batman Begins”. When in comparison, I feel that “The Dark Knight” has so much more power behind it’s actors, even more …
Kill Bill Part 1 Starring Uma Thurman

I forgot the names of …

Shrek 3
The last movie for my girlfriends and I to watch on our movie day was Shrek 3. I had heard from several people that this was the best Shrek that the directors had come out with so far. I have to totally disagree with that statement. The movie was …
DVD PATRIOT
Has Mel Gibson ever made a worse film?
Trying to cash in on Mel’s tremendous success in BRAVEHEART, Roland (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW among other travesties) Emmerlich cast Mel in a really badly written American Revolution historical picture.
Originally conceived as a WW2 movie, it mutated into the junk that …
This Must Be the Place (2011 film by Paolo Sorrentino)
“This Must Be the Place” by director Paolo Sorrentino is not a perfect movie. However, it is damn well close to being one.
Be cautious though, don’t expect too much of it. It’s not exactly filled with Oscar winning materials. It is more of a cult film, and it’s superb way …
