Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …

My one year old daughter absolutely loves this movie. We have the DVD and I believe we have watched this movie atleast twenty times. She adores the dancing and singing and gets the happy feet herself as she dances non stop to the musicals. I myself love the humor …

Normally I enjoy most creature and scary animal movies, but I found this one a large disappointment. When I first heard about Cemetery Gates I was quite eager to see it as I had never seen a horror movie about a Tasmanian devil. So when I did see it, …

Film “The Other Guys” (2010)

Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …

I had mixed emotions about the movie. On one hand, …
Little Shop Of Horrors
‘Feed me, Seymour!’ cries the hungry, man eating plant in Little Shop of Horrors. I love that line! That line is one of my favorite lines from a movie. Now I am not talking about the Little Shop of Horrors version made in the 1980s, I am talking about …
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
The loveable, red-skinned hero is back to save the future of mankind. Action packed and absolutely hilarious, Hellboy 2 lives up to its prequel (Hellboy).

Two Weeks Notice (starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant)
I watched the DVD of Two Weeks Notice starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant the other day and there could not have been a better duo for their roles than them. It’s basically a movie story about serving your troublesome boss and after some time feeling that you have …
Johnny Guitar movie
This anti-western by inventive Hollywood filmmaker Nicholas Ray, tells the story of a western hero called Johnny “Guitar” Logan, who much rather plays music instead of shooting down people with guns.

Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …

The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …

Iron Man 2 Movie
I think this movie fell into the sophomore trap—”it wasn’t as good as its predecessor. There is a story though, which is good. Actually, there are many stories going on but they are not too heavy to get the viewer confused. Not much thinking required actually, which after all …
