This movie is far from the …
Fighting (starring Channing Tatum)
It is really such a pity because Fighting (starring Channing Tatum) could have been so much better. In more ways than one, it has a special potential for being a great fighting movie but it fails to. Even Channing Tatum’s handsome looks could not make me really happy …
Vacancy
This movie starring Kate Beckinsdale and Luke Wilson, was interesting to watch. It is a bit suspenseful, with decent acting and a decent story, but the ’snuff’ factor is a bit sensationalistic and the story itself is a bit short. It is still good enough to watch and be …
Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …

The Woman In Black Movie
It is always nice for me to remind myself of the classical English works, especially those who have a slight horror twist. But even better is for the reader, such as myself, to see everything on the screen where the images from the book come to life , and …
Guardians of the Galaxy (science fiction movie)
Before the movie was released I knew nothing about the Marvel comic or even the animated series. Therefore, it was totally new to me when I saw the trailer for the very first time and didn’t know what to expect. After watching it though, I’m definitely surprised by how good …
The RM (movie)
The RM is one of my favorite movies. It is basically about a returned missionary for the LDS church and how all his expectations for his return go awry. His girlfriend gets engaged to somebody else, the job he was promised falls through, his car was sold, he gets …
Wreck it Ralph Movie
I had a chance to get this movie as a rental and enjoyed it very much. I originally got it for the kids, but it is one of those cartoon movies that ends up being a family favorite. So far we have watched it three times because the kids …
Hide And Seek
Hide And Seek was shown on my local TV channel and if it’s acting by Robert De Niro, I always make it a point to watch. This movie also sees the little kid, Dakota Fanning (think she had acted with Tom Cruise as well), I give this story 10 …

21st Century Breakdown
After 5 years of waiting and waiting for their green day to come out with an new album, i have to say the album was defiantly worth the wait, but nothing more. The album is of course amount my favorites, however it does not surpass dookie as my all …

Batman Dark Knight
I’m not really a big fan of the “Batman Series” but this film “Batman Dark Knight” is one great movie, I was blown away by the actors acting abilities,the story itself and of course the director because this would also not be possible without him,(Applause)Christopher Nolan. For me this …
Children of Men
To start off with, any movie that has Michael Caine saying, �Pull my finger� at gunpoint can’t be all bad. And Children of Men is not bad, but it sure is depressing. The story of a future Earth, where the last baby born was eighteen years ago, and now …
War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)
Once again, I’m back to watching Audrey Hepburn movies. I was anticipating War and Peace to replicate the same picture of the actress as the other regal-themed, A Roman Holiday, yet the movie wasn’t focused primarily on her character and I ended enjoying the whole film instead. …
Over The Hedge Movie
Over the Hedge is more then just an animated movie about a Hedgehog. Even though it’s rated PG, I think that it is one of those movies with the type of humor in it that virtually any adult can relate to and enjoy! Some of the humor …
Red Eye
Red Eye is a suspense thriller movie that is about a man, Jackson, who is on a path to kill a government official. Jackson wants Lisa to help him kill this person. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? The part about this movie that I did not get is …

“Miracle on 34th Street,” the John Hughes production with Richard Attenborough, contains the same inspirational storyline as the original movie and continues to entertain drama lovers today.

Speed Racer, action film
If there was one movie I wish I would have seen in IMAX, it would have been this movie. Speed Racer on Blu-Ray is probably one of the best looking high-def movies available and, much like Crank, should be a part of any Videophile’s collection. But, I’m getting ahead …
The Hurt Locker movie
It is extremely rare that I sit down to watch a movie, and I am literally engrossed in it so much that I cannot leave my seat for the entire length of the movie. The Hurt Locker is so incredibly intense from the first moment, and the plot, acting …
The Perfect Storm movie
With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …
The movie Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …
The Bride with White Hair movie

Some kind of Hong Kong action movie that …
Cheeni Kum, movie
Finally somebody had the sense to pair two performers we’ve been dying to see together: Amitabh and Tabu.
And debutant director R Balki proves he’s just the man for the job as he marvelously brews the perfect romantic comedy around an acerbic chef and a classy dame.
As …
The Other Guys Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …
Dark Water
When I saw the movie “Dark Water” being advertised at the time it was being released in theatres I didn’t pay it a lot of attention since at the same period of time a number of other horror movies with a similar style were being released and I wasn’t …

Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd (2003)
If you have never seen the original movie name Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, then you are going to be in for a treat as this movie is basically a prequel to that movie. This story tells the teenaged tale of how the two friends …
The Invisibles (starring Portia de Rossi)
I suppose The Invisibles was one of the earlier movies that Portia de Rossi star in. Together with a not bad looking actor (I don’t know his name, really), this is a story on what is perhaps happening in the world of celebrities. I find the characters of …
Kids in the Hall Season 2 DVD
I remember watching Kids in the Hall when I was growing up. We had a late night television station that ran the episodes in their edited form, and I always loved the show. The show was centered around a group of sketch comedians from Canada, and each had their …
“Citizen Kane” (1941 Fim)
Citizen Kane- the first produced film of Orson Welles, and one that is often considered the greatest film ever made. I am a major B-film and classic film enthusiast and the idea of seeing “the greatest film ever made” sparked my interest. After indulging myself in two hours of …
Taking Chance (2009)
This movie chronicles the voyage of a fallen marine from his departure from battle to the return of his remains to his home town for burial. Starring Kevin Bacon as a volunteer escort, we see from his vantage point, all the lives that were touched by this one particular …
Rocky II
Rocky II is the rematch between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. The movie begins by showing the ending of the first movie. This is done throughout the Rocky movies (the first five) and was a great idea to do.
Shortly after the movie starts, Rocky and …
Movie Control (2007)
Control (2007)is a true rendition on the live of the late singer, Ian Curtis from Joy Division. He was a singer and his tale was told in this black and white movie. I’ve always wondered what it’s like for singers and the likes to suffer from depression …
Spice And Wolf Episode 2 (Anime)
Spice and Wolf Episode 2 begins with Holo and Lawrence travelling and staying at church. There, Lawrence meets a man named Zeelen, who offers them a business deal.
This episode is very good, although it is very dialogue heavy and not a lot happens. Still, the dialogue …
48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …
Red 2010 movie
After I was more or less disappointed by the few movies that were about the same story (The A-Team , Go, The Expendables), I awaited anxiously as an incorrigible fan again to be cheated by the pensioners from Red . Especially since I’m always tempted to give a chance …
The Departed
Anybody that has seen this movie would probably review it the same way. It was fantastic and i don’t even know if that’s enough. It was the best movie i’ve seen in a long time. I am not normally a “Leo” fan but he was the best I’ve ever …
Blood Work (2002)
Clint Eastwood stars as an FBI Agent in need of a heart transplant; he is given the heart of a female murder victim and should be back on his feet in no time. He is approached one day the sister of the murder victim whose heart he received, her …
Movie Basket Case
Basket Case is an old movie from the year 1982. This movie is of course kind of cheesy and funny. Yet it is also scary, and kind of bloody. I think the old horror movies like Basket Case were a lot scarier, than the movies they make these days. …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
Death Proof
Death Proof is the first “episode” of the recent grindhouse. Now personally i didn’t like this movie at all, it was very long, it took forever to get to the action, there are litterarily like 50 minutes of talking which lead to no real action. The movie itself is …
She’s the Man movie
I am reviewing the movie, She’s the Man, starring Amanda Bynes. This movie is loosely based on William Shakespeare’s novel, Twelfth Night. There is Sabastian, a music lover and soccer player. He has a sister named Viola. She’s really good at soccer, but after the girl’s team is …
127 Hours (movie)
One of the movies that I watched last month was “127 Hours”. Like many of the other movies that watched recently, I only heard about it after reading about it on a popular movie blog that I’ve been visiting since the beginning of this year.
The movie, starring …
Home Alone 3 (1997)
The third installation to the Home Alone franchise offers brand new characters to try and pickup where the first two made their mark. This one, without using the big names like episode one and two, introduces a new child who plans to put a damper on criminals coming into …
The Forgotten
The Forgotten is a very weird and kind of spooky movie. It’s about alien abduction and it’s also very interesting how people were sucked into the sky in this movie. It was very strange and also scary at the same time. I think that the The Forgotten has a pretty …
