Sunless movie
This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …
Sleepwalkers movie
This movie was apparently based on a novel that Stephen King wrote but never got published. Seeing this movie, I can see why King decided not to publish the book because this movie is bad, very bad.
The “sleepwalkers” are cat-like vampire creatures that suck the life force out …
Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …
Silent Hill Movie
On Sunday, me and my boyfriend and our best friends James & Joan went to see Silent Hill. Both James and Alex had played Silent Hill the game (I didn’t even know it was a game) so they had high expectations for the movie.
At first the movie was slow …
Carousel movie
Just one year after Oklahoma, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae reunited in Carousel, which is another classic movie musical. The chemistry was still there, though the ending is very different, in part by the nature of the story itself.
My favorite part of the movie, though, is the ending …
Film The Tenant

The Tenant still lived in infamy to this day and I grew up from childhood to …
Kentucky Fried Movie
I was a teenager when I first saw the Kentucky Fried Movie and I remember thinking how it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
Now, when I watch it, I still think it’s mildly entertaining but it’s not one that I’m overly impressed by.
The whole concept of …
Premonition
Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …

This is an animation movie by Pixar Animation which features a robot named Wall-E. Every picture of Pixar is focused on a central character which stirs a wave of appreciation whenever it is introduced. Wall-E, I feel is the cutest of all the characters that I have seen till …
Inkheart movie
When I first saw the movie “Inkheart” advertising to be released in theatres I somehow assumed that it was supposed to be a fantasy film which starred the actor Brendan Fraiser. Therefore at one point I was even planning on saving some money to watch it while it was …

I’m Reed Fish (2006)
To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …

National Treasure 2
First off, let me just say that i really enjoyed the first National Treasure movie, starring Nicolas Cage as Benjamin Franklin Gates. It was a very well made movie, combining action, humor, and history into a very enjoyable and, above all, fun movie that I have seen many times. …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
“Little Drummer Girl” Movie (Drama)
“The Little Drummer Girl” as a film is perhaps to some not has compact in its storytelling as the best selling novel written by author John Le Carre. The adaptation of the novel to film does not reach the depth as to the audience member’s emotional response as …
The Orphanage (2007)
Yesterday, my whole family and my boyfriend managed to watch this DVD movie, The Orphanage (2007), and I must say it scared the daylights out of us. This is a Spanish movie, so be prepared to read the subtitles. It ain’t that bad, but ain’t that good either. …

House of Wax
Starring: Elisha Cuthbert (Carly), Paris Hilton (Paige), Chad Michael Murray (Nick), Jared Padalecki (Wade) Brian Van Holt (Bo/Vincent)
This is categorized as a horror show; however I was not terrified; instead I was more taken with the lifelike wax sculptures and the way they were created.
The story started with …

Bedazzled-Brendan Fraser & Elizabeth Hurley
I loved this movie because it was so funny. Who would have thought that the devil could be a comedian or so sexy. Elizabeth Hurley was great in this role because she brought a special touch to it. I enjoyed her constant antics and trickery so much. She kept …

Since it’s looking like a strong contender for Best Picture at the next Oscars, and because it was the only movie I’ve actually been even moderately excited about seeing in a long time, here’s my review of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” a film based on a book chronicling …
Veggie Tales: Lessons from a Sock Drawer

The Stepford Wives (2004)
The new version of The Stepford Wives has its pluses and minuses, compared to the old 1975 movie. The plot is not only modernized but developed in several different directions, and so are some characters. Namely, Joanna Eberhart, the heroine, played by Nicole Kidman. She is a high TV …
Robocop movie
Paul Verhoeven is a dutch controversial filmmaker who combines social criticism with main stream action and science fiction, and in my opinion this mixture is often very interesting. Robocop takes place in a future where criminality has grown out of proportion and the authorities do everything they can to …

I had no idea …

Bobby (NR, 2006) movie
Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …
