A Separation (movie)
I like watching foreign films, especially when I’m in a particular mood, and recently when I’ve been searching for a good one to watch, I kept getting recommendations to watch a movie “A Separation”. Despite all of that I never watched a trailer or even searched for reviews on …
The Rum Diary (2011 film)
This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …
The movie Mulan
I absolutely loved Mulan. Being of the female persuasion I love any story that show s a woman excel far beyond her limits and restrictions in a male dominated society. I loved how she followed her heart and found her on way in life even at the risk of …
To Kill a Mockingbird
I am reviewing the movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, which was made back in the 1960s. It starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, Mary Badham as Scout, and Phillip Alford as Jem. This movie remains to be my mother’s favorite and my favorite movie ever. There is just something …

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie
I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …
Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …
George Romero’s Land of The Dead

The Legend of Zorro 2005 (movie)
As someone who loved the original, The Legend of Zorro was a hugely disappointing sequel. The scenery was still beautiful and I still liked the main actors, and the humor still made me laugh, but the magic was lost. The dignity of the first was abandoned in …
The Death And Life Of Bobby Z
I love Paul Walker very much. And in this movie, The Death And Life Of Bobby Z that he acted which I’ve watched like 2 times, the storyline ain’t that bad.
At first, I was quite skeptical into thinking that it is a rather cheesy gangster movie but …

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen A&E
I believe the best movie version of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice is by A&E. I’ve read the book, and the A&E version holds very close to Austin’s work. I hate when movie directors and film writers believe they have to make the classic their own, by making …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.
Book of Secrets relies on two things; first, there is …
Movie: Furry Vengence
As I mentioned in another review, my daughter convinced my wife to get movies from one of those movie kiosks this past weekend (they just don’t seem to understand we have Netflix for a reason). Since she got two movies for the price of one, my wife decided to …

Movie-Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Movie War

The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …

Michael Jackson’s This is It movie 2009
I didn’t know what to expect from this film before I saw it. I knew it was a collection of footage from the show that sadly, never made it to the stage. It is a shame. It would have been so spectacular. The amount of work and devotion that …

Sweeney Todd
I just put Sweeney Todd into my DVD player again. I absolutely love this movie; there is something about Johnny Depp singing operatically while slitting someone’s throat that is just captivating. I think Tim Burton did brilliantly with this movie. Across the front of the DVD …
