Twilight The Movie
Quote: “Saying Twilight is good because it’s popular would be like saying Herpes is good because a lot of people have it.”
First of all, bad acting, the movie seemed rushed and the characters didn’t seem like they were in character. I was waiting for someone to say…”just kidding!”
Edward seemed …

Red Sands movie
This movie contained some of my favourite actors like JK Simmons from Oz and Spiderman, and also the actor Shane West. However, even though I thought the movie wasn’t awful like some others I’ve seen, I still think that it really wasn’t all that great, and I was expecting …
Avatar (2009 film)
Making the highest grossing film of all times is James Cameron’s trademark ability in the moviemaking industry. Avatar indeed delivers visual greatness of unseen scope just like Titanic did in 1997. Truth remains that the visuals are not enough to make a movie Number 1 at the box office. …
Ice Princess

Walt Disney Presents: Beyond Witch Mountain movie

Date Night (2010)
Tina Fey and Steve Carrell team up together in a very funny, smart movie. Date Night is a great comedy film, well executed with lots of clever lines and comical scenes. There were a few surprises, too, as the movie wound in a different direction that I …
Grease 2 movie
I like to watch “Grease 2″ I actually like this movie better than the original Grease.
This movie stars Michelle Pfieffer as Stephanie, who is the leader of the Pink Ladies and Maxwell Caulfield, who is the one trying to fit in to impress Stephanie.
In “Grease 2″ Didi Conn returns …
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …

Apocalypto (spoilers)
Apocalypto must be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year. The problem is, it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing towards the end of the film. It just was too much, by that time.
First off, the …
As Good As It Gets movie
I was able to watch this movie when I was still in college. I was required to watch it since I am taking up Nursing as a course and so to understand more about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder my instructor told me to watch this film. Jack Nicholson portrayed the role …
No Reservations
I love it when Catherine Zeta-Jones acts. She is gracing maturely and is truly beautiful no matter what her age is.
In this movie story, she acted alongside Aaron Eckhart and this is a very beautiful story that I suppose would be very popular with loads of chefs …
84 Charing Cross Road
This gem of a movie is unfairly little known. Made in 1987, it stars Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft who tell a touching story of a 20-year-long friendship of two people who actually haven’t seen each other face to face.
Helene Hanff (Bancroft) is a struggling writer in New York …

Repo! The Genetic Opera
Repo! The Genetic Opera is destined to be a cult classic, but does it deserve to be?
I recently purchased Repo! on Dvd, because it looked interesting. I did not, however, know that is was, quite literally, an opera. The whole movie, and every single line of dialouge, is told …

A Map of the World (R, 1999) movie

Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …

Wreck It Ralph is a fantastic movie, both for kids and for adults. It is very family-friendly, and a great flick for a movie night.

Movie Review: The Ladykillers (2004)
I have just rented “The Ladykillers” 2004, starring Tom Hanks, from our local library and we’ve had a fun evening watching this hilarious comedy. However, I could do with less profanity; hearing the f-word all throughout the movie was rather annoying.
The story is about a gang of criminals lead …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
One of my favourite Disney animated films when I was little used to be “Alice in Wonderland.” Therefore, I was very happy to know a few years ago that they weere making a live action movie starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Ann Hathawy and the movie was …
Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …

1. Did I stay interested / awake throughout the entire movie ?

2. Would I buy it on DVD ?
A. Only if I was a James Bond fanatic.
3. Would I take my partner …
Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …

It Follows, horror movie
Within the last few years the genre of “Horror” for me seems to repeat the same mundane patterns of predictability and flatness. However, “It follows” is a gripping and tense horror flick that will leave you shaken, yet wanting more.
With barely anytime to get comfy, director (David Robert Mitchell) has …
The Martian (Movie )

I was watching the film Planet of the Apes on TV the other day and have to say, considering when the movie was made, it is still one of the better science fiction tales you will come across.
There are two reasons I feel this way. One is the make …
