The Devil Wears Prada
Generally speaking, I don’t much go for the obvious chick flicks. There are some that I like, but it doesn’t happen to be a genre that I’m in the mood for a lot. And, how much more “chick flick” can you get than a movie that puts …

The Body Guard movie
This is one of my favorite movie by Whitney Houston and Bruce Willis. I really enjoyed watching this movie since the story line was simple yet meaningful. I love how it was made into a drama-action film. I am a fan of Whitney Houston as a singer and I …

Taxi No. 9211 (movie) Feb, 2006
This one is a great movie. I just loved this movie. It released on 24th of February, 2006. This film is directed by Milan Luthria who has done a brilliant job. This movie is pretty different from the typical Bollywood films. The protagonist of the film is played by …

Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
Gladiator Movie
A spectacular film starring Russell Crowe as Maximus the General and a slave gladiator. The action in this film is not great but it is OK, not too gruesome, not too bloody. The plot is on point and it delivers the goods. Joaquin Phoenix plays a great bad guy …
Superman Returns (2006)
Why oh why of why!!! Why is it that whenever a remake of a Superman Movie is done, the only character that they seem to pair as his nemesis is always Lex Luthor. Look at the extremely large list of enemies that Superman has, choose a different character to …
Funny Games (1997 Psychological Thriller Movie)
Someone I know convinced me to watch the 1997 movie Funny Games, because according to them it was one of the best psychological thrillers they had seen in a while. I have to admit that I was a little hesitant at first because I kept thinking how I would have …
Inside Out, 2015 Animation, Comedy Movie
I had no desires from this movie before its release. I thought it was like the other childish movies in the market. When it got such astonishing ratings from critics, I couldn’t help myself from not watching it. However, subsequent to watching it, I would say I wasn’t right about …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23 begins with Conrad preparing for Juliet’s coronation, meanwhile Juliet heads to the Escalus tree to sacrifice herself to keep Neo Verona from falling apart and Tybalt tells Romeo of Juliet’s intentions and he goes to stop her.

The Four 2 is a 2013 Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun. It is the sequel to 2012’s The Four.
After watching The Four, I decided to watch its sequels as well (there are 2 sequels to it). I wasn’t expecting much from this sequel though, …
The Shop on Main Street
The greatness of East European cinema I guess need no further introduction. The Shop on Main Street is in my own humble opinion the greatest of all masterpieces coming out that area, directed by rather unkown Hungarians Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos.
As with many powerful movies of the mid-twentieth …
Movie Review: The Ladykillers (2004)
I have just rented “The Ladykillers” 2004, starring Tom Hanks, from our local library and we’ve had a fun evening watching this hilarious comedy. However, I could do with less profanity; hearing the f-word all throughout the movie was rather annoying.
The story is about a gang of criminals lead …
The Rosary Murders movie
From 1987, The Rosary Murders begins with a priest being murdered at a catholic hospital and the news that a woman is leaving the sisterhood to marry a non-catholic. She doesn’t quite make it, though, since she’s the next to be killed, and it’s quite the bloody scene, …
Shallow Hal
I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.
Hal is …

Coneheads movie
For years, I vaguely remembered watching a movie called “Coneheads”: with my cousin whose parents had rented the video in either nineteen ninety two or nineteen ninety three. However, I also remembered that since I was about four or five at the time I watched it, most of my …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding Movie
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is probably one of the most hysterical movies that I have ever seen. I watched this movie on Fox the other night and I really enjoyed it. It was the first time that I had ever seen a movie with Nia Vardalos and …
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 …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
The Man in the Iron Mask
I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …
10,000 BC
I have been hearing alot of talk about the movie 10,000 BC and how the movie would be a very pleasant viewing. But once I have seen it, I was pretty shocked of how my perspective of this “wonderful” movie changed. I really think that the movie was pretty …
The Departed: Movie
The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The plot was something I hadn’t seen executed so well in a long time. …
The Living Daylights movie
A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …

Halloween By: Rob Zombie
When Rob Zombie’s remake of the classic “Halloween” came out in August 2007, being a big fan of the original “Halloween” film by John Carpenter, I was really looking forward to seeing it. Thought it was an interesting spin on the story to show more of what Michael Myers …

Frankenstein
My daughter has found she likes watching old black and white movies with me; including some classic horror movies. So we took the time to sit down and watch the 1931 film Frankenstein last night.
This movie is probably not suitable for all children. But, I know my daughter ended …
Evan Almighty Movie
I am sure many of you with myself included have seen Bruce Almighty , in which the well known Jim Carrey is an average Joe who curses God for almost anything and is given God’s power to see how simple it really is to rule the Universe.
Evan Almighty is …
The Princess Bride Movie
I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …
Tales From The Crypt DVD
I recently bought over the internet the complete set of all the Tales From The Crypt episodes. I always liked this TV show and now in one huge jewel case I have all the episodes in 22 comfortable dvd’s. Unfortunately thought the quality isn’t too great, given the fact …
Hulk movie
“Hulk” is a 2003 movie about the Incredible Hulk, not to be confused with the far superior ‘re-boot’ called “The Incredible Hulk” released in 2008. The “Hulk” stars Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly, as well as Nick Nolte in a ridiculous role as the main villian.
Pros: This …

I am reviewing the movie, As Good as it Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear. This movie focuses around Jack Nicholson’s character, Melvin, who is an obsessive compulsive, rude, inconsiderate human being with many other problems. His neighbor is Simon, played by Greg Kinnear, a …
Cat’s Eye movie
This is an “anthology” film. It features three self contained stories. The closest thing to a link is a stray cat that wanders from location to location and sort of observes the events in the film.
The stories are all based on works by horror master Stephen King. …
The Nanny Diaries
The Nanny Diaries reminds me very much of my first few jobs. I think it is such an awesome movie and I love Scarlett Johansson’s acting tremendously. I love it very much and it is such a good and funny movie which made me laugh very much. …
21 Grams movie
In order to fully understand 21 Grams, you will have to be committed to watching this movie at least twice. After the first viewing, you will want to watch 21 Grams again because the movie is thrilling and very exciting. There is a love story between Paul and Christine, …
Les Amours imaginaires / Heartbeats movie

Step Up
I love Channing, this is the first time that I saw a muscle hunk that truly can dance, minus the pants that he was wearing, too lousy. The story was about a typical two teenager that enrolled in Mary Land School of Arts. One of them was attending a …
