I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …

This mini-series drew me in right away, probably because of the international aspect of the story. I like movies that offer insight into different cultures, and this is one of them. The story takes place in India, focusing on a British boy Ashton and an Indian princess Anjuli. They …

Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.

I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …

I am quite a fan of all this animation movies, they always entertain me and my girlfriend, they are funny, technically splendid, they usually have a good plot, and they are almost never superficial or boring.
Well i didn’t enjoy this one at all.
The impression i had is this:
They did …

The movie poster of this movie titled “Skinwalkers” doesn’t suggest much, but sure looks horrible enough to attract the horror pro customers like myself, sacrificing other shows to make this one.
I was disappointed really. It was cearly a low budget movie with little plot and less than encouraging fighting …

Rush Hour 3 was everything I had hoped for after seeing Rush Hour 1 & 2. The second sequel was filled with action and humor, and follows a plot that will keep one interested the whole way through.

Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …

I recently watched the DVD of “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (2003). Directed by Peter Webber, who recently directed “Hannibal Rising”, the movie tells the story of a young woman, a girl really who served as the model for the famous Vermeer painting of the same name.
Scarlett Johansson …

I think Nicole Kidman is the most sensual actress working today. This isn’t just because of her great looks, but because of the way she exudes her emotions. So when I had the opportunity to watch “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” with Kidman playing the famed photographer, …

I found “The Couple” to be an engaging, entertaining movie. The October 2006 movie is just the latest in what has almost become a genre in filmmaking: the efforts to prevent Jews from going to a concentration camp and to rescue them from Nazi Germany.
I like the story of …

This must be one of the most entertaining as well as meaningful films that have come out of India in recent times. The basic storyline and genre - sports - is a fairly simple one,familiar to people around the world, but it’s what the makers have done with this …

What would you do if you could see into the future, even though only for two minutes? Chris, an LA performer, uses his gift to win money at casinos - not much and not very often, in order to stay undiscovered. However, the government knows about him, and secret …

I watched the movie “Kippur” as part of my “trying to understand the Middle East” efforts. I’m not sure what affects watching the movie had on that, but it reinforced my belief that governments are inefficient and self-serving and that war is the supreme human lunacy.
Israeli Director Amos …

I like The Simpsons TV show, so I obviously expected to enjoy The Simpsons movie, and I was not disappointed. It was not the same format as a TV show - usually The Simpsons TV shows start out with one plot or problem, and end up being about something …

I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …

Well, we all know that disposing of toxic chemicals into major water supplies is bad, right kiddies? Not so in this story, which leads to some largely predictable consequences.
When an employee in a top-secret military facility dumps a load of formaldehyde and other chemical nasties down the drain, a …

“The Ultimate Gift” is such a good movie, I don’t know where to start reviewing it! The plot is excellent. We’ve got a wealthy old man Red, who leaves a rather unusual will. Before he dies, Red records a series of video messages. In those messages, he talks mostly …

Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.

The beauty of this film …

Daddy’s Little Girls is one of those “feel-good” films starring a predominantly all-black cast. Starring Gabrielle Union and British-born Idris Elba, the story revolves around a single-father ex-con, limo driver who happens to fall for a successful young lawyer (Union). His fight to remain in his three …

If you are looking for a terrific ensemble film with a great storyline, look no further than the movie “13 Conversations About One Thing”. Honestly, I have not put much thought into the title other than to realize that the stories within are interconnected in a really subtle, …

I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …

I don’t think I realized how much of a dark comedy this was going to be. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know that it would be funny at all. The movie centers around a family comprised of a pill-popping, boozing, promiscuous mother (Carrie Anne …

After watching this film, I think I understand why this movie did not fare so well at the box office. It’s going to take a strong stomach for the majority of Americans to be “okay” with observing a weathered black man keeping a sexually depraved young white woman on …

When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.

If, like me, you’re a big fan of the books, then none of the Harry Potter movies so far will satisfy you, but this one is the closest it gets. Just like the books keep getting better, Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix is a big leap …

‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls.

This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …

This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …

I have to say, this movie really did live up to my expectations. Third in the series that also includes The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie follows Jason Bourne as he seeks out the people who made him what he has become and gradually “all …
