Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …
The Family Man movie
The Family Man is a great drama movie. It stars Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. In this movie Nicolas Cage’s character get’s to see how life would have been if he would have married his girlfriend instead of splitting. I thought this was a great family movie. It’s emotional, …
Cars movie
I enjoy Pixar movies very much, and Cars is no exception. This computer-generated animated movie features the voices of Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Keaton and others. Like many Pixar movies, the story takes place in an alternate world, a world where cars, not humans, rule …

Cadillac Records (R, 2008)
After hearing the hype about Beyonce being in this movie, I can’t say that I was itching to go see it. With all due respect to Beyonce, her acting abilities have left a little to be desired. In any event, I was surprised to realize that …
Inspector Gadget: A star is lost
My daughter was watching Inspector Gadget (on DVD) when I got home for lunch today so I ended up watching the episode “A Star is Lost” with her.
This one is actually quite funny.
Like most other Inspector Gadget episodes, Gadget is trying to stop MAD from committing some major crime. …
Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
I thought I had seen just about all the slasher films that were going to be good in 2008. I will confess that the 8 Films to Die For series has left me cold on a few occasions. However this film had me intrigued from the very …
Robinhood Movie (2010)
I never knew Russell Crowe could emulate or do a better job than Gladiator, and the 2 movies are equally famous for it’s story and the actors and actresses involved. Russell Crowe as Robinhood was quite old, and I had first thought all the characters were too old for …
Tesla - Comin’ Atcha Live! 2008 DVD
I recently bought The Comin’ Atcha Live 2008 concert Dvd live in Minnesota by The Hard Rock band Tesla and it is one of the best Live DVD’s. Although the band Tesla is underrated and it shows with this smaller club venue, but at least they sold it out …
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Director- Scott Dickerson
Cast- Keanu Reeves(Klaatu), Jennifer Connelly(Dr.Helen Benson), John Cleese(Noble prize winner Environmentalist)
This film is a remake of a 1951 classic science fiction film of the same name. Although most of the critics here in India gave it negative reviews my opinion stands otherwise. According to me this is …
blockbuster .com
I actually like Blockbuster a lot more than Netflix because you can return the movies to the store instead of mailing them in and waiting to receive new movies. Not only can you return the movies that were mailed to you to the store, but you can also trade …
Wall-E
Wall-E by Pixar is an enchanting movie which is delightful, although it has a darker theme than most Pixar movies.
Wall-E opens with a tiny robot moving through an immense garbage dump. His only companion is his pet cockroach. Wall-E has a lot of personality and innocence, and also a …
The Descent movie
I find that recently I am developing a great love of Quentin Tarantino. Not for his movie, mind you. I think have enjoyed many of the movies he has made, but more recently my fondness for him has come in his great choices of movies to import and distribute …
Transformers
If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …
Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
Big Eyes (biographical drama movie)
The movie “Big Eyes” was something that I’d been looking forward to seeing for a very long time, partly because it was done by one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton. I also became interested in seeing it because of the brief synopsis I’d heard about the plot. After watching …
Inside by Dimension Extreme movie
This is definitely a must see movie if you a fan of gruesome horror. This is probably one of the bloodiest and most disturbing movie that I have seen in a long time!
It has a great story behind it. A pregnant woman loses her husband in a …
Dead Like Me: The Shallow End
Dead Like Me: The Shallow End gives us the big revelation about George’s childhood. She had almost drown in a swimming pool when she was ten, and what’s intriguing about it is that she sees the gravelings there. Even more interesting, one graveling calls off the other …
Don’t mess with the Zohan
Don’t mess with the Zohan is a hilarious comedy with Adam Sandler from Happy Gillmore. You can expect to find any of his movie funny. You will be sure to laugh your socks off of this movie Don’t Mess With he Zohan.
The way that Adam and everyone dressing …
The Bourne Supremacy
Very rarely do sequels surpass there predecessors. There are some exceptions, Terminator 2, 28 Weeks Later, etc. I thought very highly of The Bourne Identity and believe that Supremacy surpasses it on every level. I was very nervous when I heard they weren’t bringing back the …
Bridge To Terabithia movie
This movie reminds me to The Lord Of The Rings movie environment. Interesting special effect and pleased in a real creative story. Merges story in illusive world with reality life. This movie draws fantasy world by a child names Jesse. Illusion nature that is of course we usually experienced …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
Taal (movie) , 1999
The movie Taal is one of my all time favorite movies. I loved the way the love story of the Mansi and Manav was portrayed in the film. This movie released on August 13th 1999. It was directed by Subhash Ghai, one of the best directors of India. …
City Hunter (movie)
I like watching movies starring the actor and martial arts expert Jackie Chan sometimes, but I never heard of the movie City Hunter until some time recently. It was actually supposed to be based on a Japanese manga of the same name, and when I got to watch it, …
Sicario (2015 Crime Thriller Movie)
A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …
Alien Versus Predator Requim
My husband and I saw this movie last night. The movie started out with the viewer knowing quite a bit of the continuing saga of the alien and predator saga. It did pick up where the last left off with the predator having captured some specimens of …
Blood Monkey (2006)
This is a terrific horror movie that will set your nerves on end. It is filled with loads of suspense, terror and carnage. The acting is very good and the plot moves along at a nice speed, too. If you love watching movies about killer animals, you’ll really enjoy …
3:10 to Yuma, movie
Although this movie is a remake of a terrific film, with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale taking the leads, this film did more than just update a classic; it surpassed it. “3:10 to Yuma” is more than just a western. This is a movie that could well be …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. The movie matches the intensity of the first Transformers movie but brings the action up a notch. Here is my opinion on the movie.
Plot: 9/10, the plot of the story is well formed and easy to understand. The …
The Coffin
I think The Ring is more scarier than The Coffin. I can’t help to comment how disappointed I was at watching this movie and I guess I was so much hoping for it to be a real scary flick. But it turned out to be an emotional movie …
The Men Who Stare at Goats movie
I just watched this movie recently, and from the looks of it, I do not think I will ever watch it again. Honestly, I thought it was a bankable film because it starred George Clooney and so far, I have been quite satisfied with his films, until I …
A Troll in Central Park
The first time I heard of the animated movie “A Troll in Central Park” was some time after it was released in the nineteen nineties. I was not a child any more at the time so I did not have much interest in it and I thoguht it was …
Step Brothers
I watched Step Brothers on DVD the other night and I was laughing so crazy! I do not realize that a movie starring just these two actors, namely Dale, acted out by John C. Reilly and Brennan, acted out by Will Ferrell could really be hand-clapping funny and fun. …
Movie The DaVinci Code
I was apprehensive about watching ‘The DaVinci Code’ as books turned into movies rarely translate well to the big screen. I must admit, though, that I was pleasantly surprised.
Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a professor of cryptology, who is the chief suspect in the murder of Jacques …
Star Trek 1991 Cachet
As a stamp collector and a huge Star Trek fan, I jumped at the chance to get this cool-looking collectible. The Star Trek 1991 Cachet was issued by Paramount Pictures, in association with the United States Postal Service, in celebration of Star Trek’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
It’s an awesome display …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the second installment of the epic trilogy that is the Lord of the Rings. Now, walking out of The Fellowhship of the Ring, I was awe struck and amazed. If you had this same feeling, you ain’t seen …
In Her Shoes (2005 movie)
This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …
50/50 (movie)
There were several movies that had a great emotional impact on me this year and one of them was the movie 50/50. I knew that it would either be a tearjerker or one of those movies that made you meditate on the direction in which your life was going …
Claymore Episode 1 (Anime)

Kill Your Darlings (2013 Biographical Drama Movie)
It seems I waited an age to watch the movie Kill Your Darlings. I ignored it a bunch of times while it was being aired on cable television channels because I always had this notion that it wouldn’t be very interesting. It was only after watching it last night, that …
Movie The Dark Knight
My family and I saw this movie over the weekend. Our family includes me age 35 female, my husband age 35 male, and our son age 16. All of us really enjoyed the movie.
I think Heath Ledger did a wonderful job as the Joker. He brought something new …

Star Wreck (DVD)
This is a DVD collection of three “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons from the 1980s. I remember watching these on Saturday morning as a kid, so it was nice to see Alvin, Simon and Theodore again in action. I particularly love their theme song, “We’re the Chipmunks”, and the …
The Notebook movie
This movie is based on a novel written by Nicholas Sparks. It stars Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands.
For a movie that is such high romance, it’s difficult to find two people who have enough chemistry on film to pull off the kind …
