The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan
Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …
Jezebel
I was at a friend’s house recently and saw the movie Jezebel on the Turner Classic Movie channel, a channel I don’t get, but would love to.
The movie was filmed in black & white and released in 1938, a year before “Gone with the Wind” which is a similar …
Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray Movie
While there was excitement in getting the first and second Alien in BluRay, I only got this one, Alien 3, just to continue the collection. Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray is what I got. While I don’t watch it as much as I do the other Alien films, …
Edge of Darkness (2010) movie
I’m always hesitant to watch a Mel Gibson film but I decided to jump in and try this one. Edge of Darkness is a movie based on an old BBC series with the same name.
Mel Gibson is a detective named Thomas Craven who’s daughter is shot outside of his …
Ratatouille
I hate rats so I wasn’t so keen on watching the animated movie Ratatouille. But constant prodding by my bestfriend to see the movie made me give in. Plus the fact that alot of people say it’s a nice movie. Indeed it is. From Pixar Animation Studios and Walt …

Last Samurai Movie
The Last Samuria is truely a box office hit, no doubt about it. When it comes down to onscreen action, this film will leave you with goose-bumps, especially the scene where the ninjas attacked the village (guess you will have to watch it to find out exactly what happened). …
The Messengers (movie)
I finally gave in and watched the movie The Messengers with my wife yesterday afternoon. And, even though I’ve never seen the film, I felt like I did.
The problem with The Messengers is, for a horror film, it’s really not all that scary. And, it’s because they used the …
Good Luck Chuck
I just finished watching the ‘unrated’ version of the DVD for this movie, and I must say, it’s totally hilarious. The building up of the movie about Charlie Logan (Dane Cook) being hex by the girl that he refused to make out with when they were young until him …
Sin City
The movie Sin City is the prequel to the film SIn City 2. I can remmeber that some time before it was released in the year 2005, I would hear some of my schoolmates talking about it and saying that they were eager to see it in theatres. At …
Angels and Demons the Movie
I was really excited to watch this movie because of the trailer and because I was unable to finish that book. Instead of going through the pages again, I decided to watch this film instead.
First of all, the film is not dragging so it is a plus point for …

Wrath of the Titans (Movie)
I have been interested in the Greek myths since I was a child so was excited to see this movie, especially as the trailers looked great. Even though they now looked dated I have always loved the classic movie adaptations of these stories with effects by Ray Harryhausen, so …

I give full marks to the movie Happy days. Because it is the movie that can be watched with the entire family without any hesitation. Once again hats-off to the sekhar kammula, the director of the movie for presenting such a nice movie once again. The story is entirely …

Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
Girls of Rochefort movie
This is a french musical from director Jacques Demy and his wife Agnes Varda. Just is with his more famous The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, it’s all shot in colorful images with beautiful actors. The story is about the people of Rochefort who all seem to bad inluckily in love. …

The Sex in the City movie
I don’t know that they necessarily needed to make a move, but I’m glad they did. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest movie of all time, but it was enjoyable if you are a Sex in the City fan like I am. Now, I would be wary for younger viewers …
The Parent Trap - Film 1961
The first time I ever watched this movie I did so rather tongue-in-cheek - simply because my mother had recommended it and my mother and I do not have the same taste in movies! So to say that I was pleasantly surprised is a bit of an understatement.
The story …
Park (R, 2006) movie
I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …
The Brave One
My husband and I just went to see the latest movie of Jodie Foster called The Brave One. To be honest, at first I thought it was gonna be boring as you know it’s drama.. you can’t expect to see much of action anyway. But turned out it’s the …
Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …
Namastey London
With a mixed starcast, and without any solid story, Namstey London still succeeded to attract audience.
It is a triangular love story where an Indian woman is in love with an English man. However,her parents wanted her to marry to an Indian guy but this marriage lasts to be of …
Fire up movie
Fire Up was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen so far. I love everything about it. You’re going to enjoy watching it. The movie is a comedy and it’s just right for High School or college age viewers. The theme is more towards young people rather than an older …
The Road to Hollywood movie
The Road to Hollywood from 1947 was a biography of sorts about the success of crooner, Bing Crosby. This was the such type of production from filmmaker Bud Pollard who had done a piece like this on Danny Kaye the year before.
Pollard serves as the host of The …
Santa with Muscles-film
I recently watched a comedy oriented Christmas film called santa with muscles starring the wrestler Hulk Hogan. Movies with Hulk Hogan as a lead are not too good and have average appeal.However,this film is a shame to the rest of Hogan’s movies. It was basically about a rich dude who …
What happens in Las Vegas
Although this is a quite new romantic comedy, I believe it stands a chance to become a classic of its kind. It is funny, witty and intelligent. It is both enetertaining and inspiring at the same time, which is not very common nowadays. Apart from lots of fun, the film …
Cerberus (2005) movie
This is another one of those creepy animal movies, this time being based on ancient Greek mythology. If you’re familiar at all with mythology, then you should know that Cerberus is the three-headed dog that belongs to Hades, God of the Underworld (land of the dead, afterlife). His dog …
Women Are Like That movie
Women Are Like That is a film from 1938 that starred Kay Francis and Pat O’Brien. In spite of O’Brien’s presence, I found this film to be one big boring waste of time. I actually watched it and other movies one day on TCM. They were …
Sully (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …
Yojimbo movie
A silent samurai enters a desolate japanese town where two criminals leagues fight constantly against each other and terrorises the innocent people living there. The samurai, who is an excellent swordsman, becomes their Yojimbo (bodyguard) and takes out the leagues against each other in a very clever way.
This is …
Pain and Gain (Film 2013)
Pain and Gain is a film I watched after browsing the web one day and seeing that Dwayne Johnson was going to be staring in one of the roles. I will admit that I am a really big fan of Dwayne Johnson, and I was excited to see him …
Movie: Tremors 3
I finally got a chance to sit down and relax about 8 last night and, while flipping channels, came across a movie I haven’t seen in a while; Tremors 3.
This movie, which is of course, the third movie in the Tremors series, isn’t anywhere near as good as the …
And Then She Found Me movie
“And Then She Found Me” is very much a by product from the actress, Helen Hunt. For the first time we don’t see Hunt acting only, but she was also involved in screen writing and directing this movie. Although this movie has a great story and a great cast; …
Revanche (2008): film
“Revanche” is an Austrian film that was nominated for a best foreign film Oscar two years ago. It came out in 2008, but I only got to see it last night by mere accident, without knowing anything about it. And I loved it. It had a satisfactory amount of …
Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
I don’t ever recall seeing an Audrey Hepburn movie in TCM —“ the channel for classic films. Since the movies shown in the channel are largely MGM titles, my theory tells me Audrey Hepburn had simply not played any motion picture produced by this grand movie empire. …
Jerry Maguire
I watched the movie Jerry Maguire for about the third or fourth time last night and have to say, while a good movie, it could have been much better.
I liked the idea of a movie that focuses on the part of professional sports most films barely even mention; sports …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is the sequel to the critically and commercially successful movie, Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock played the lead role in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous as well but the movie fails to impress the viewers who have expectations from the …

Irreversible Movie
My friend has been hounding me to watch Irreversible, starring Monica Belluci. She said that it was the most horrific rape scene she had watched and even said that people walked out during it�s showing in disgust. So I was finally able to buy the DVD and watched it …
The Mechanic movie
A professional killer named Arthur Bishop is perhaps the most feared man in the world for his remarkably vicious ways of killing people. One day he is put in a situation where he will teach a new upcoming hitman. This doesn’t really turn out as Bishop had hoped for.
The …
Fifty Shades of Grey Movie
Way before I saw the movie, I read the trilogy. And it was a really good series. So when I heard the movie was coming out and saw the trailer, I was excited. The trailer looked really good and I was so sure that the movie was going to …
The Pitfall movie
This is one of Hiroshi Teshigahara’s earliest works and my favorite of his films that I’ve seen so far. A man and his little boy is walking together by a lake when someone comes out of the bushes and shoots the man. We are not explained to why this …
Scent of a Woman
This is one of Hollywood’s classic movies which tackles a very difficult argument about living life to the full and suicides. What I really like about this movie is Al Pacino excellent performance of the role Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade. It is no doubt that he won the Oscar …
Shoot ‘Em up
I like Clive Owen, he’s probably my favorite English actor, but I’ve seen him in this role before. In his incredibly great movie, Children Of Men, Owen plays a reluctant hero of sorts who needs to escort a pregnant woman to her rendevous point to have her baby without …
Soul Plane (2004)
Bad times fall on an unsuspecting victim and in addition to his humility, he also loses his dog when it got sucked out of the plane and through the plane engine death instantly. He sues the airline and is awarded a grand amount of money. This he took and …
