Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …
Split (2017 Psychological Thriller Film)
The idea of watching a psychological film circling around different personalities inside a single person is potentially invigorating. After all the idea has never been done to death. That’s why I am earnestly hopeful that my first M. Night Shyamalan feature could fulfill the gap of films I missed in …

The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …
Movie Chaos
“Chaos” can be best described as a gripping thriller where one has no hint how the story is going to end. Full of interesting twists and action, this movie is worth watching not only once but even twice.

Heartbreakers movie
Another movie my wife and I ended up watching last night was the film “Heartbreakers”. I liked this movie when it first came out but have to admit it loses some of its charm the second time you see it.
Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt play a mother/daughter pair …
Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …
Four Christmases movie

I like comedy movie, it can refresh my mind and make me laugh. Last night I saw this movie, Big Fat liar on Tv. It’s a comedy and family movie, starring by Frankie Muniz as Jason Shepherd, Paul Giamatti as Marty Wolf and. Amanda Bynes as Kaylee.
The story is …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
Munich movie
I definitly had to watch this movie because, apart from being a Stefen Spielberg movie, it was filmed mostly in my native country, Malta. I was particulary impressed by the focus point of the story. This is not a movie about terrorism, but it is a movie about the …
Orphan movie
The movie “Orphan” from 2009 was a must see for me after hearing about all the controversy surrounding it. I have heard that some were concerned that it would discourage prospective parents from adopting. I would assume, after seeing the film, that these people were basing their fears on …
Johnny English - Film 2008
Not being a fan of either Rowan Atkinson (who plays Johnny English) nor a fan of James Bond, it often surprises me that this DVD version of the film is in my collection at all. Every so often when the mood is right it is taken out and …
Flight of the Navigator movie
I haven’t seen Flight of the Navigator in a while but it still sticks in my mind as one of the better family-oriented science fiction films I’ve ever seen.
Disney does a wonderful job with the special effects in this movie, which centers around a child who gets hurt in …
Underworld: Evolution (2006)
In this the second installation in the Underworld franchise, they kindly take the opportunity to bring a lot of things to light, things that kind of confused us, or left us wondering. In this episode, we are introduced to the fact of the brothers bitten by the Bat and …
Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …
Lake Placid movie
I can rememebr when the movie “Lake PLacid” was released in 1999, it seemed to gain a lot of attention from my peers; but since I didn’t see it advertising to be released in theatres I wasn’t yearning to watch it as much as some of my friends were. …
Film Review AAP KA SURUR
AAP KA SURUR is the debut movie of HIMESH RESHAMIA as an Actor the story is a thriller in which Himesh gets arrested for a murder and the rest of the story is about his struggle to prove his innocent. The movie just an ordinary movie with ordinary performance. …
Valkyrie (2008)

Have You Seen My Son movie
From 1996, Lisa Hartman Black produced and starred in Have You Seen My Son, a movie about parental child abduction. Her co-star was the handsome Jameson Parker who plays good guys with charm and bad guys with aloofness. Here, he was aloof and maybe still a little …
I am Legend
…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
But then again, it’s not all his fault that this remake …
The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! (2001)
This movie was originally shown in IMAX theatres but it is now on DVD. It is about the series of terribly destructive eruptions that happened in the 80s. At the time it erupted, I was too young to really remember hearing about it on the news and since I …
12 angry men movie
The film is about a court jury who are to agree on a verdict in a seemingly obvious guilty case. All of them seem to be in a hurry to get it over with (hence the title), but one of them is having doubts and decides to stop the …
Movie Bruno
Sachon Baron Cohen’s highly anticipated–highly controversial–new film “Bruno” follows the same vein as the 2006 hit “Borat.” Written by both Cohen and Anthony Hines, the movie relies entirely on its ability to shock its audience into laughter. For me, this was successful.
The movie is based on Cohen’s alternative personality …
Gigli
Gigli is a good movie to watch for a weekend afternoon. The film starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck in the lead roles has all the elements needed for a good movie. It has action, it has romance, it has humour and above all it has some fine emotional …

Taken 2, movie
I enjoyed “Taken” well enough. It wasn’t the most complex piece of cinema, but if you wanted to see Liam Neeson beat up bad guys, it delivered.
It seemed like one of those movies that didn’t really need a sequel. Not everything needs to be turned into a …
Twilight
I went to watch the movie Twilight with my friends, as we all were going crazy after watching the movie trailer; we were already fans of twilight before the movie came out as we had a book club. I loved reading all the series.
When we watched the movie, it …
I Spit On Your Grave (horror movie)
I Spit On Your Grave is a very good classic tale of horror and blood. I just love this movie. The movie is about a woman who wants to get revenge on a group of men. And she takes them out one by one in brutal and horrible …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
Mountain Movie

Movie: The Shakiest Gun in the West

I remembered this being a great movie full of comedy and action. And, …
Spartacus movie
This is another colosal movie about the Rome legend. I think it’s very tragic story. It’s about rebelition of gladiator and slaves to Rome’s kingdom.
The story start when the Rome take many innocent people as slaves. And they choose strong men to get practice to become gladiator. The Rome …
Annapolis movie
When I rented Annapolis on DVD this weekend, I was expecting another great military movie. What I got was a good boxing movie with a little bit of military in the background.
Centering around the life of a U.S. Naval Academy recruit, Annapolis gave me an idea of what new …
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang Movie
This was the second installment of the movie Nanny McPhee. It was another comedy and fun movie for kids and kids at heart because of the magical and wit touch of the movie.
Surely Emma Thompson was just the same character as she was in the first sequel of the …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Back in the 1950s, they made the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a movie. I still think it is one of the better invasion movies of all time. But, today I’m going to review the 1978 remake of the film starring Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum
While not …
Elvira’s Haunted Hills
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the holy grail of comedic masterpieces and quickly became a cult classic for a very good reason. This movie is filled with stereotypical British humor but it is presented in such a way as to not alienate international audiences. The jokes are …
