Pursuit of Happiness
I enjoyed the movie “Pursuit of Happiness” with Will Smith and his son. This was a different kind of movie for Will. It was based on a true story of a man who was smart but lost everything and became homeless. After his wife left him, he had …
Poltergeist (2015 supernatural horror movie)
In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …
Wild Guitar movie
What initially got my attention when the 1962 film Wild Guitar began was a shot of Revue Studios, which produced my favorite show of all time, Laramie. I’d never seen the Revue building and knowing a bit about Los Angeles, this gave me an idea of where it …

Scream Movie (1996)
As I was looking through the TV channels one boring Sunday afternoon, I came across “Scream”. This movie was one of the best movies that came out in 1996. I remember that a lot of my friends back in High School were really too hyped up about this movie …
Dead Like Me: Rest in Peace
Dead Like Me: Rest in Peace is the final show of the first season of this episode. It really can be summed up with George getting her job back. Actually, there’s a big scene at George’s grave. It’s the anniversary of her death. It’s like …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …
Wall-E
Pixar’s always done great work. Even with their already high bar, they raised it with Wall-E. Not only did they raise it, they did it with only half a script.
I kid you not, the first half of this film is practically dialogue free. When I heard …
Because I Said So
I simply enjoyed watching the actress Diane Keaton in her role of clingy and over protective mother with the name of Daphne Wilder in the movie “Because I Said So”. The Razzie Award thought that she over exaggerated, however for me that her interpretation in this movie is simply …
Gargoyles Season 2,Volume 1 DVD
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 …

Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …
The Four 2 (Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia Movie)
The Four 2 is a 2013 Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun. It is the sequel to 2012’s The Four.
After watching The Four, I decided to watch its sequels as well (there are 2 sequels to it). I wasn’t expecting much from this sequel though, …
Robinson Crusoe movie
This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film. Buñuel was otherwise a filmmaker who never let the audience’s needs come in conflict with his artistic vision, and only created what he felt was important. His version of Robinson Crusoe shows that …
Due South: Diefenbaker’s Day Off
Diefenbaker’s Day Off is the next regular episode of the first season of Due South, and it’s pretty funny. Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser tells his wolf, Diefenbaker, that he needs a license, but he’s having trouble getting one. It could be because Dief, as he’s commonly called, …
The Siege (1998) movie
This was part two of the dvd two pack that my dad recently purchased so I decided to watch this one too. He said he had seen it before and that he enjoyed it so that sounded good enough for me to check it out.

Make It Happen
I watched a movie with a friend, he was so excited about Make it Happen, a movie similar and is actually from the same creators of “Step Up”. Well the movie is really simple, I feel it does need a little more depth in it, I have totally wasted …
The Hangover 3 (movie)
Hangover 3 is the last part of the Hangover trilogy that was released in 2013. The last part of the trilogy was again directed by Todd Phillips who directed the first two parts of this trilogy. I previously enjoyed the Hangover and Hangover 2 like no other. It was …
Mimic Movie
Mimic is a truly great/bad sci-fi movie. I still remember seeing it for the first time when it was in the theaters and I loved it even then. I know a lot of people have seen the movie and hated because it’s not the greatest, but I actually do …
Fight club
Fight Club is a good action drama movie. The movie has Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter playing the important roles. The movie is the screen adaptation of the novel by the same name. The movie is shown in the form of narration of a nameless protagonist …
Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …
Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …
Green Lantern movie in 2D, starring Ryan Reynolds
First off, I must say that I am a very big fan of the Green Lantern comics and have been for over a decade. The reader needs to know of my bias towards this film. Unfortunately, there will be a few spoilers, but I’ll try to keep them at …

Movie: A Christmas Story
My wife and I ended up wrapping Christmas gifts at the very last second late last night while the kids were asleep. Since we were getting tired and needed something to keep us awake until the work was done, we decided to put on the Christmas classic A Christmas …
Corpse Bride movie
Visual genius Tim Burton’s newest film is similar to The Nightmare Before Christmas, which he wrote the story for. This time he directed himself, and created a stop-motion animation story of the highest class. The story is about a young man (voiced by Johnny Depp) who is getting married, …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …
Idiocracy (R, 2006) movie
I had the opportunity to see this film and was at first turned off by its spoofiness. But then, by the time the main character advanced to the year 2505, I realized exactly what director Mike Judge was trying to say about our society. This politically …

The Avengers Movie
Captain America . Thor. Iron Man . Hulk. These are characters that I grew up with and whose films I had fun with and I have always looked forward to. What happens when all these characters fall into one and the same mixture? A true epic! Marvel’s production “The …
The Birds movie
The Birds is a movie about people on an island where the birds, for no reason, go wild and begin attacking everyone. The Birds starts off quite normally, with a beautiful young woman shopping at a pet store for Mynah birds. That is the irony of this film, and …

Little Shop of Horrors movie
It was kind of hot outside yesterday and, since my wife is 9 months pregnant and can’t handle the heat too well right now, we ended up spending a good chunk of our afternoon indoors by the air conditioner watching movies.
One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …
Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …
Juno film
“Juno” is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman. This is a really good movie about a mouthy but obviously smart teenager who becomes pregnant and has to navigate through all the possible courses of action she …
The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I have not read the novel by Philippa Gregory, but I really enjoyed this movie, in spite of reading so much criticism. It was beyond my expectation. I usually avoid watching epic film but there was something engrossing about “The Other Boleyn Girl”, that left me seated till the …

Movie: The Shakiest Gun in the West

I remembered this being a great movie full of comedy and action. And, …
American Pie: The Naked Mile
