I could watch this movie anytime, any day. I thought it was a brilliant movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies. It really did keep me very entertained and interested in the movie. Possibly the most entertained in a movie ever. Dennis Quad, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, all …

Team America Animated Movie
Now this is one movie with the kind of difference that I really appreciate and love and it was no surprise really for me to discover that ‘Team America’ was developed by the same guys who brought us the controversially entertaining ‘South Park’ series.
It’s quite some food for thought …

The Devil Wears Prada
Generally speaking, I don’t much go for the obvious chick flicks. There are some that I like, but it doesn’t happen to be a genre that I’m in the mood for a lot. And, how much more “chick flick” can you get than a movie that puts …

Mystery Science Theater 2000: The Movie

Leatherheads
I absolutely hate George Clooney movies. So, when I picked up Leatherheads, I will confess my expectations were a bit low. However, after watching the movie, I do feel my low expectations were justified. It just wasn’t any good.
I liked the concept behind this movie. There are plenty of …

The fact that this follows …

When a man loves a woman
The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …
Cheeni Kum
I just finished watching Cheeni Kum on TV starring Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu. Amitabh Bachchan is a very good and veteran actor and he is so much awesome in this movie. This is a Bollywood movie, therefore you have to look at the subtitles to follow through.
