A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …

I first became aware of these movie recently when I was on summer holidays. I had gone to a friend’s house and saw it being aired on television. At first I thought it looked a little interesting so I actually decided to forget about what I had gone there …

This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …

I watched this movie called hangman a couple of years ago on lifetime. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It had a good story to it and a good plot to it. The acting was good and it kept me interested. It entertained me throughout the whole movie. …

Nanny Mcphee is a bit boring film with some unconvincing scenes which no logic. Emma Thompson plays Nanny McPhee in the movie and she has some magical powers which is not really convincing. Cedric Brown played by Colin Firth ia a widower and has seven children who are extremely …

“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …

As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …

I had high hopes for this movie. I saw the previews and it looked funny, plus I enjoy Paul Rudd movies and he is the star of this film. Sadly, while his performance and the performance of everyone in the film was wonderful I found it boring. …

This movie was fantastic, it had me chuckling the whole way through. From the same team that gave us Shaun of the Dead, this takes the life of Police Officer Nicholas Angel and delights with a send up of American police movies and the British country whodunits. …

I was dying to see this movie when it hit theaters. But alas, I ended up catching it on DVD. And I have to say that I’m glad I waited. While the movie was funny, I found the little boy’s antics a bit over …

When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …

The Hangover is a great movie. But of course, do not follow what these guys have done. Basically they are on a romp for a guy’s night out, so to speak for the about to be married friend.

There is no denying Nic Cage’s indefatigable work ethic, although even his staunchest fans must concede that some of his performances are at best, curiosities, to be enjoyed much in the same way that people would regard bearded ladies in the Victorian Freak Shows of times past.
This film …

A swedish documentary that focuses on a lot of things. Mainly it is a film about the human injustice of the world as it looks today, but it is also very philosophical and makes the viewer think about life as a whole. However, it isn’t what the film is …

I have been waiting for Disney DVD to bring us Gargoyles for a long time! As much as I enjoyed Season 1, I was really looking forward to Season 2 because, plot-wise, that is when the series really hit its stride.
If you don’t know anything about Gargoyles, it …

I sat down to watch Tropic Thunder last night with my wife with a high expectation. this was mainly due to the cast, the sheer number of big names in the movie guarenteed a high audience. Everyones favourite comedians were there and i wasnt disapointed.

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 …

I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie because there are just so many slasher films out there where the “teen/college” kids get offed one by one. The difference that sets this film apart is the fact that the filming and action seem more realistic than …

The original Alien is widely regarded as a science fiction classic. Although plenty of attention is paid to the production values and set design in terms of the spacecraft and aliens themselves, both of these elements don’t appear to be the focus. Instead, Alien …

A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …

If you ever want an idea about how our government handled terrorist threats prior to 9/11, the movie The Siege is a good film.
Not only does it star everyone from Denzel Washington to Bruce Willis, it�s a movie that is so full of twists and turns you don�t know …

I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.
Richard Gere’s character was too …

Bulletproof Monk with Seann William Scott, Chon Yun-Fat, and Jaime King.
I have seen Chow Yun-Fat in Chinese Martial Arts movies before and enjoy the peaceful smile that he exhibits while kicking butt of the bad guys. Scott, on the other hand, was an obnoxious jerk …

Sleuth is a mystery, thriller and suspense type movie about Andrew. Andrew is a mystery writer with a wild imagination. I think it is quite amusing that the main character of the movie that is a mystery type film will have the main character as a mystery writer. Sometimes …

I was eager to see the movie “The Martian” for two reasons. The first was because I saw the trailer and it sounded as if it would be a good watch, and the second reason was because the director Ridley Scott is known for his iconic movies. After I finally …

This was an alright movie. I liked the first one a lot better than the second one. It was still alright though. I enjoyed seeing all of the characters again in the movie. It was a lot shorter than the first one but I am kind of glad it …

The Invention of Lying (Movie)
Ricky Gervais is known for his over-the-top humor, but there was nothing funny about this movie. The movie started out with an intriguing idea of a world where everybody is forced to say what is on their mind and tell 100% truths, but then one …

I recorded this movie on Sky Plus and then did not watch it for the longest time, until recently. This is because despite the fact that it stars Mickey Rourke - one of my most favourite actors - I did prejudge that, despite all the critics raving about …

Kwaidan is an episode film following four different horror stories. The director is Masaki Kobayashi, and here he gets to prove what he could do with color film. This might well be the most visually stunning piece of cinema I have ever experienced. Not only is the depth and …

I watched Fast Five on regular DVD quality. I do have a Blu-ray player, but I never purchase Blu-ray discs. To me, they are a waste of money as they are more expensive and who knows if the quality is any better. The story is basically about the formation …

I was in the mood to watch a horror movie recently and couldn’t figure out which one to watch. That was when I remembered one called “Ouija” that I had seen the trailer of when I went to watch something else in the theatre. While it was obvious that the …

Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …

It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
