I have always admired propaganda films for the boldness of their script and their natural rebellious nature. Perhaps the most sucker punching film of the highest production values is Lord of War.
Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage) has a talent for smuggling weapons, a talent that …

Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of those movies that I just knew I had to see right after watching the trailer for the first time. The trailer gave me the impression that the movie would be funny, action-packed and overall exciting. When I did actually get the chance to …

This film failed in comparison to the two previous films. Not only did it fail to live up to the other two it introduces a female Terminator with limited technological advancement. The T-1000 of Judgement Day was the best of all Terminators. The conclusion to the trilogy left viewers …

I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …

When I first saw the preview for Inside Man, my excitement level wasn’t as high as it is expected to be with a movie that has two of my favorite actors ever, Clive Owen and Denzel Washington (also I believe that Spike Lee is an underrated director). Nothing …

It was a 2009 movie by Cameron Diaz and James Marsden. It was a story of a couple who received a box being delivered by a man named Arlington Steward played by Frank Langella.
It was curious at first what the box is all about until Mr. Steward came back …

In Her Shoes star Cameron Diaz as well as Toni Collette. They play sisters in this movie and the Director of this movie had certainly written a very feel-good story about what sibling rivalry perhaps is and that chain simply cannot be broken.
Cameron plays the character Maggie and she …

I was really looking forward to watching this movie even though the reviews weren’t favorable. The premise of the movie was that you received a call from yourself telling you how you were going to die. It gave you the exact date and time of when you were going …

Exceptionally good movie that is all I want to say about this one. The debutant director, Neeraj Pandey did very good job by presenting such a thoughtful movie to the Indian film industry. Keeping in mind that this is his first movie, his efforts should be applauded. Everything was …

I loved watching this movie, although it reminded me a little of amytville horror. It was an overall amazing movie. It’s the kind of thriller I love to watch. There were no gory parts in it and the movie was played out well, it had a good story to …

This one was actually about as funny as I …

If it weren’t for mice, Disney would have been out of business long ago. Granted all animals helped Disney succeed, but mice helped him over the top.

Kick-Ass is one of my favourite films to come out of the last couple of years, mainly down to how unique it is and its fascinating analysis of a wannabe superhero.
This superhero is just an ordinary teenager, and the story shows that. You get a good back story to …

I don’t know if it was Toy Story or Shrek that ushered in the age of the animated feature. I know Toy Story came first, but it seems to me that Toy Story showed filmmakers what was possible in the new age of computer animation. The people behind Shrek …

I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …

This is one of those movies that you skipped when it was released in theaters. Doomsday might have come out at the wrong time or the trailers didn’t look very appetizing. With the movie being released on video, should you take a look at this film or should you …

The family is in bed early tonight. And, since I don’t have much else to do, I’m sitting on the couch watching the movie Elf.
I have seen this Will Ferrell Movie at least a dozen times now and, like most Christmas classics, it is a movie I just cannot …

Sex And Breakfast is a comedy film that was released in 2007. Or should I say that Sex And Breakfast is supposed to be a comedy? There were some funny moments in the film, but mostly when awkward things happened, but I would not call this movie a true …

This was a really good movie. John Cusack does an amazing job in it. He adopts this little boy who tells everyone he is from “red planet”. All of the actors do a really good job in it. The movie kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. There are …

Jaws is still one of the greatest action and greatest thriller movies off all time. I had not seen this movie in a LONG time and was curious to see if it still held up as a great movie. Well, it does. Sure, Jaws himself looks …

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 …

I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …

I made the decision to watch the movie “The Hunt” without knowing much about the plot. I didn’t even watch the trailer like I would do with most movies that I’m interested in, and I’m glad I didn’t because it was so much more interesting and thrilling that way. It’s …

America’s Sweethearts is one of those movies that has a star-studded cast, with promises of comedy and entertainment. It didn’t even deliver part of that promise. The movie was released in 2001. The film immediately gave me the feeling that I was watching a soap-opera made into a movie. …

I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …

The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …

This darker, more comic book feeling Batman was released in 1989 and was actually the first Batman movie I had ever seen. It was only after seeing this movie that I really wanted to know more about Batman and his character, which started my love for DC and Marvel …

Another scary movie I have watched with my boyfriend is Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. The movie starts out with a young woman, running in a corn field; her face distressed and scared. She was the killed; the movie not showing who had killed her.
The movie then transitions to a …

I saw this in the theater with one of my friends when it came out and I totally forgot about it. I was watching television the other day and it was on. So I told my younger sister about it and she watched it. She enjoyed it. I watched …

I am not very fond of Filipino or local movies ( I live in the Philippines and local movies are called “Tagalog Movies”) but then I have to say that I did enjoy watching one particular movie that I would also like to introduce to the readers of Reviewstream. …

I liked the first Librarian movie “Quest for the Spear” so I figured I would give the sequel “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” a try.
It turned out to be an OK movie but it wasn’t as good as the original.
You have the same guy playing the Librarian. Only this …

Slasher movies based on holidays are so commonplace that they have become cliched. Thankskilling, April Fool’s Day, Halloween, Leprechaun, Uncle Sam, and My Bloody Valentine are some of the big examples. All we need are movies for Yom Kippur and Colombus Day. Heck, some can make …

Silent Hill starring Radha Mitchell is quite a dark movie. Radha plays a very distraught mom in this movie and her character name is Rose. She goes into Silent Hill in search of her daughter whom has this problem of sleep-walking. Little does she know that this …

One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …

This is probably the best story action movie I have seen in a long time so far. I mean there are many action movies nowadays but “Taken” have taken my attention. I can feel the intensity and the urge of every fight seen and ever wonder if there is …
