An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …
Star Trek (2009, J.J. Abrams)
First off let me get one thing quite clear: I’m not a Trekkie. I AM a self-confessed sci-fi geek but have just never been into Star Trek.
I like the borg, an inspired concept. The Enterprise looks cool. Scotty was amusing and Spock was Spocky. But that’s about it. I …
Freaky Friday
There have been many versions of Freaky Friday since the first filming of Mary Rodgers book, but it is the one that I still enjoy the most. Sure some of it is dated, having been filmed in the 1970’s and with most of that ages fashion shown in full …

Major League, directed by David S. Ward is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original realease date for this movie was April 7, 1989 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Sport and stars Tom Berenger as Jake Taylor, Charlie Sheen …
Mistress of Spices
Mistress of Spices is a very boring and baseless movie I have seen in recent times. I watched it on HBO and I really didn’t like the movie from the very first reel. It is the story of Tilo played by Indian beauty Aishwarya Rai who has the power …
Life is beautiful
The ever happy Guido Orefice(Roberto Benigni) moves into Tuscan from a neighboring town and falls in love with Dora(Nicoletta Braschi).He wins her approval by surprising her with unexpected visits.

Movie In her shoes
I have watched the movie ‘In her shoes’. The director is Curtis Hanson. This is the tale of two sisters, whose characteristics are very much different. This is a family-oriented film. The different characters of the two sisters is interesting to watch.
These two sisters are Maggie and Rose. Cameron …
Movie: “Witchboard” (1986)
We’ve all wondered about the Ouija board: is it just a game, or can spirits really come through it? Some people just have to learn the hard way.
Jim (Todd Allen) and Linda (Tawny Kitaen) hold a party; but Jim is angry and jealous when Linda invites her ex-boyfriend Brandon …
A View to a Kill movie
In what would be Roger Moore’s last appearance as agent 007 James Bond (he was MORE than 50 years old here by the way) he’s confronted with perhaps the most colorful villain ever. He’s played by the excellent actor Christopher Walken and, obviously, is threatening to take over the …
13 Going On 30 (2004)
Jennifer Garner stars in this 2004 movie and I love catching it over again in DVD as well. She plays this particular woman whom has ‘airs above her’ and she is certainly someone that is going to learn her lesson the most hardest way. That’s because she will …
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Film)
2016 has been a dull year for me in movies so far. I have been to cinema for most time once an anticipated movie gets shown, but there are certain movies that I have missed in favor of the other. For example, I watched The Jungle Book instead of 10 …
Super Bad Movie
Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …
Mission Impossible Trilogy
The actor, Tom Cruise managed to do a lot of things with his trilogy movie “Mission Impossible”. To put everything in a nutshell he managed to create a unique image to “Mission Impossible” with the special effects involved and, at the same time, destroy the strong concept of team …
Girl Interrupted
I didn’t watch the movie Girl Interrupted because I wanted to. I watched it because my wife insisted on seeing it. While I won’t go as far as to say I hated the movie, it definitely isn’t one I was all that interested in watching.
The movie follows the lives …
The Strangers 2007 DVD
I was really anticipating this movie, not enough to go see it in theaters but that is an entirely different post. The previews revealed enough to get me interested but they didn’t show all the best parts, which seems to be a running theme these days. It …
Blockbuster
At first I loved this service. I loved picking my two DVDs out online, getting them in the mail, watching them, returning them, getting two new ones at the store, and getting two other ones in the mail the next day. It seriously was a fast return and like …
Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street
When it comes to classic horror movies, I can’t imagine making a list of the best without including A Nightmare On Elm Street. Wes Craven gave audiences a whole new kind of killer when he unleashed the charred murderer into the dreams of teens in the mid eighties. …
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 …
Where Got Ghost? movie
Jack Neo label it as Hor-medy. There are a total of 3 stories in this movie and I would say that the stories are short enough but not that bad in making me laugh.
I enjoyed at least 2 of the stories and in a way, it’s not …
Weird Science (movie)
Even though it hasn’t gotten a very good rating, the movie “Weird Science” is one of those teenage coming of age comedies that I think a lot of people consider as a classic somewhat. I personally never really liked it because it was exceptional, but I liked it because …
My Name Is Bruce
“My Name Is Bruce” is Bruce Cambell’s latest attempt at a film. Just like his others this film falls in the it’s so bad it’s good category. Basically the film revolves around a town and a young man who lives in it. Ultimatley this …
One More Time movie
From 1970, it’s Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford teaming up in One More Time, a movie in which the two are partners in crime, of the light variety. Davis is Charles Salt and Lawford is Christopher Pepper. Pepper has a twin mustache. When one of …
Hostel horror movie
Hostel is a notable entry in the “torture porn” horror genre. This film, along with Saw, in a sense CREATED the “torture porn” genre, a genre that is most notable for having extreme blood and gore. Hostel, however, is not just dumb blood and gore. It is actually a …
Movie: Saw the Final Chapter
Synopsis: The Saw movie franchise is finally brought to a close with this final installment which brings back some characters from earlier movies.
What I liked about this movie: The best part, for me at least, was the return of Cary Elwes’ character from the first movie. My wife and …

Columbo: Columbo Likes the Nightlife movie
All good things must eventually end and such is the case for the much beloved, Lieutenant Columbo. After decades of solving murders, the very last movie was aired in 2003. Columbo Likes the Nightlife is the swan song for the rumpled raincoat-clad detective. It’s the last …
Klute Movie
When a man and father of several children disappears without a trace, the private detective Klute is hired to investigate the case after the police have given up their searches. Great actors like Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda and Roy Sheider lifts this mediocre story to an interesting and intense …
Wall E
Pixar, the creator of many animation movies like “Finding Nemo”, “Cars”, etc. This year, they switched their focus on a slightly more heart warming, futuristic and light animation movie: “Wall E”.
The detailed environment of the show is there, most of it are relatively normal. The special effects of the …
Lord of the G Strings Femaleship of the String, DVD Softcore Movie
Seduction Cinema made a ton of softcore movies. Maybe they made too many of them. One of the production company’s most popular films is Lord of the G-Strings, a softcore take on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. All of Seduction Cinema’s top players were in this movie in …
The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
Case of the Shoeless Engineer
I am reviewing The Case of the Shoeless Engineer, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Turner & Hooch
Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors hollywood has ever seen. He proved it by winning two academy awards for his great performances. I recently watched his movie Turner and Hooch on DVD and found the movie very boring and just waste of money and also waste of …
Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …
Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives
I went to our local Movie Gallery last night in search of a movie for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been watching a lot of Scooby Doo movies lately and, because she’s a bit too young to be watching without getting scared, has been having nightmares. So, I wanted …
The Rookie Movie
This was quite the inspirational movie. This was a movie that I had not planned to watch, but it seems like any movie my boyfriend likes, he wants me to watch as well. But I am so glad that I saw it because I think it impacted me in …

The series of Shrek films that have come out since the first film in 2001 have been a popularity for not only young children, but movie lovers of all ages. We have watched as an angry ogre named Shrek rescued the princess Fiona, saved her with true loves kiss, …
Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …
The Undefeated documentary
The Undefeated is a documentary about Sarah Palin. Some persons think of this documentary kind of like an event or production where you sit and watch it out of general politeness. Some have been even as bold as to describe it as a really, long, …
Casino Royale
I have watched the movie ‘Casino Royale’. This is a very interesting and exciting movie. This is a James Bond movie. In this movie, Daniel Craig acts as James Bond. The film is full of action and adventure. There are many chasing scenes. In the beginning itself, Bond is …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
State of Play movie
I was expecting State of Play to follow a common story line for movies about political intrigue, but I was riveted to the screen for most of this movie. While some of the plot twists were predictable, the final one near the end was unexpected. I also dislike the …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …

Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …
Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols
Something about Charlie Wilson’s War doesn’t feel right. The film tells the true story about Charlie Wilson and how he single handedly took down the Soviets. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching this movie and I don’t know why I feel this way …
Under the Skin (2013 movie)
I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)
Sinbad was sent to find the legendary ‘Book of Peace’ that he was accused of stealing. The person that accused him of the crime was the person who framed him, that person is the same person who gave them the book in the first place, the goddess of chaos …
American Wedding
I just watched this last night even though I have seen it before, it still made me laugh. It lives up to the name of American pie and American pie 2. It’s funny throughout the whole movie. It also has the same type of humor of American Pie. Most …
Mickey’s Christmas Carol
I just finished reading Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol to my daughter and she said she would love to see a movie about it. Wanting to find a movie that gave justice to the book yet wasn’t too scary for her, I finally settled on Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
The thing …
