The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …
Aliens, Guns & a Monkey
Aliens, Guns & a Monkey is a pretty fun episode of Tripping the Rift. For this episode the crew of the Jupiter 42 set ground on a planet that is completely in love with guns. This of course sets off a lot of talk about the morality …
The Devil Wears Prada
I was a bit bored last night because the baby was awake and I couldn’t seem to find anything on TV. So, I ended up going to one of our movie channels and watching the Devil Wears Prada once again.
You know what, this movie gets worse every time I …
xXx: State of the Union movie
If you have ever seen the first xXx (Triple X) movie, you cannot deny that it really did not need a sequel. This one stars Ice Cube as the new, more intense xXx. C’mon…this movie is substandard and really disappointing, not to mention, very distressing to watch. There is …
“How to Train Your Dragon” (2010 Film)
The 2010 animated family made film “How to Train Your Dragon” was in one word, delightful. The variety of characters, to the graphics, and story line, the movie was entertaining and perfect for a movie night with the family.
Hicup is the hero in this movie, a frail teenage boy …

When Andy is invited to a poker game with his work colleagues (Seth Rogen, …
Vacancy movie
What a messed up movie. The NRA should seriously show this to far left people who want to get as close to repealing the Second Amendment as humanly possible as it’s situations like this where having a gun would be really good.
This isn’t a political piece by any …

Movie: Scary Movie 4
Synopsis: This 4th installment of the Scary Movie franchise spoofs the movie War of the Worlds with a group of people looking to escape from an alien invasion. Along they way, the movie also manages to spoof everything from Saw to Brokeback Mountain.
What I liked about this movie: I’m …
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). …
L: Change the World
L: Change the World, directed by Hideo Nakata. It’s actually a sidetrack to the days of L. Right after he solves the mystery on how Kira was actually.
L wrote his note on the deathnote. He stated that he would die after 23 days. He spends the rest of …
Mangal Pandey - movie
Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …

Halloween (UR, 2007) movie
I am not too proud to admit that I thought this movie would be a piece of garbage. But I was sooo totally and completely pleased with how this movie was made. Thinking that it would be a convoluted and cartoonish remake of the original thriller, …
Kindergarten Cop movie
This is one of the oldest movies of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I first saw this film when I was just a young girl. Now, I have seen it again in HBO and it felt like I have only seen it now. It is a comedy film, not the usual Terminator …
Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok)
In the movie, Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok) this talented actor has certainly looked more mature over the years. And he does look more mature than he already is in this movie with his mustache and all. Acting as a police, he has to crack a case that he …
The grudge 2
If you have already seen the first one, you really don’t want to see this one. For Sarah Michelle Gellar’s fans out there, she died right at the beginning of the movie. Her sister (not from the first movie) replaces her. This sequel is so confusing. All you see …
Train Ride (R, 2000)
There are fleeting moments of competency in this late 90’s film—the last to feature actress Esther Rolle before her death in the same year (1998.) The story itself is quite feasible. A group of college guys have three freshman girls over hoping to get …
Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Hotel Rwanda, directed by Terry George is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America on appeal for violence, disturbing images and brief strong language. The original release date was February 4, 2005 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/History/Thriller/War and stars Don …
Predators, Movie (2010)
After ‘Scream 4′ and ‘Apollo 18′ my cinematic palate needed cleansing. Fortunately, ‘Predators’ delivered just what I was hoping for. It’s especially impressive as sequels and follow ups to the original classic haven’t fared very well.
Unlike a lot of franchise relaunches, this doesn’t reboot or retcon anything. …
Cinderella Man movie
It took me quite some time before I was actually able to watch the movie “Cinderella Man” being that it was not the type of movie which I usually liked watching at the time, and I thought that it would probably be another boring sports drama film which I …
Highschool muscial 2
I just watched HSM for the third time and it really is still entertaining to me, the characters just seem so vibrant and dedicated to their roles its great. This is another teen movie where they go out to get drunk and have sex, this is something different, …
Fracture (2007)
This movie is for the advent court room fanatic…if you like law and the suspense behind the court scenes, then this movie is right up your alley. Theodore ‘Ted’ Crawford (Sir Anthony Hopkins) catches his wife cheating with a local detective. Staging an elaborate murder scene, he shoots his …
Trois 2: Pandora’s Box
Trois 2: Pandora’s Box (2002) was tragic; not in the sense that it was a tragedy, but that it was a TERRIBLE movie. It was one of the movies that is almost painful to watch. I found myself just shaking my head throughout the movie; that …
The Three Musketeers in 3D, 2011 Movie
I think that hardly there are many books with more screen adaptations of “The Three Musketeers”, but in spite of all that I think that the new version directed by Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Alien vs Predator) has something new to offer to viewers , at least with the …
Movie: Mama Mia
Synopsis: A young woman is about to get married and, not knowing who her real father is, decides to invite three men her mom was involved with so she can meet her dad for the first time and feel complete.
What I liked about this movie: I am too young …
Road to Eternity movie
The second part in Kobayashi’s trilogy about Kaji is the best one in my opinion. Here he has been transferred to “the field”, right in the face of war. The biggest trouble for him is not to stay alive in the battles, but to avoid fights with his fellow …
Breathless: A Film by Jean Luc Godard (1960)
I first had a snippet view of Breathless when it was aired in TV monde. I was rather clueless of what the film was about but admittedly I was drawn to the whimsical quality of the video. Even in stark black and white, Jean Seberg was a …
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 …
Teersari Kasam Movie

Good Will Hunting
I am reviewing the movie, Good Will Hunting, which was released in 1998. This movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Afflec, Mimie Driver, and Robin Williams. Ben Afflect and Matt Damon actually wrote the screen play. Robin Williams won an Oscar for best supporting actor, and Damon and …
Good Luck Chuck
If you really love watching romance movies, than you must not miss out on watching “Good Luck Chuck”. This movie is one of my personal favourites together with “Sleepless in Seattle” and “While you were sleeping”. The difference in this movie from the latter is that the main characteres …
Katha (Hindi Movie)
This is one of the better entertainers I have seen in Indian cinema. Katha, meaning ’story’, is directed by Sai Paranjpe, and she has done a fantastic job to narrate ‘Chawl’ (a big house where different people live together, and are allotted one room each - they have a …

Cow Belles
If you’re looking for a good movie that gives you a plot that’s a little different than the other movies you’ve seen then Disney’s movie “Cow Belles” is one you’ll want to avoid.
After finally getting to see the entire film, I can say it is good. But, it’s nothing …
Chasing Coral (2017 Netflix Documentary Film)
I have never been a fan of documentary films before. But since the time I decided to really immerse myself in different films, I have learned that movies should have no boundaries. That I should take away my preferences and just watch about everything. The result of this self-induced process …
The Proposal Movie
One of my favorite actress is Sandra Bullock. I watched all of her films from Speed with Keanu Reeves up to this one. I was curious about this film the first time I found it out. What is The Proposal is all about? I saw some billboards showing that …
Have You Seen My Son movie
From 1996, Lisa Hartman Black produced and starred in Have You Seen My Son, a movie about parental child abduction. Her co-star was the handsome Jameson Parker who plays good guys with charm and bad guys with aloofness. Here, he was aloof and maybe still a little …
Happy Feet
Let me just tell you everyone in my family loved this movie. I have 4 boys, and my husband. So as you can imagine, it can get very hard to please everyone! Happy feet tells a story of a penquin who doesn’t quite fit in with …
The Foresaken Movie
The Foresaken is one of the many horror movies that were rushed into production following the success of Scream. The makers grabbed a handful of attractive actors, and slapped together a movie without giving it a lot of though.
On the surface this is a typical teen vampire movie, …
Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie
From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …
Corpse Bride movie
Visual genius Tim Burton’s newest film is similar to The Nightmare Before Christmas, which he wrote the story for. This time he directed himself, and created a stop-motion animation story of the highest class. The story is about a young man (voiced by Johnny Depp) who is getting married, …

In this present world of internet , most of the users search for watching movies online and end up with a sad expression on their face . They don’t know where to surf and if they find a site , they are asked to pay some amount and register …
Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes
Reggie goes goth in Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes, and I’m not crazy about it because she ignores her precious golden retriever, JD. While it’s a temporary condition, it simply turns me off. I don’t like animals suffering in any way due to human eccentricities.
The Daisy …
Movie Mrs Winterbourne
I was flipping through the cable channels last night and I ran across a movie that I had not seen in a long time. It was called Mrs Winterbourne and it starred Brandon Fraser, Ricki Lake.
Mrs Winterbourne was about a case of mistaken identiy that goes too …
While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …
Justice League
At the start of the millennium, there has been a resurgence of DC animations. Before they were being trampled upon by their counterpart, Marvel Comics, DC now is like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In 2004, I got the chance to watch a group of DC superheroes lumped …
Phone Booth: Movie
Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.
I think the running length was good at just over 80 minutes, some films like this tend to drag on and you start to …
