Director: John Herzfeld. Featuring: Paul Walker, Laurence Fishburne.
The movie didn’t get lots of good reviews, and I cannot say that it is a good movie, but I found it very fun to watch anyway. It is quite entertaining and there are really good actors in it. I think …

There have been many depictions of the classic Charles Dickens story through the years, but this one by british director David Lean with legendary actor Alec Guinness in the role of vicious Fagin, is beyond all doubt the most memorable version. David Lean, who is more known for his …
The Hulk 2008
When I first saw the movie “Hulk” being advertised before it came out in theatres, I thought that it was actually a sequel to the previous movie which came out a couple years before in the year 2003. However, after seeing it advertise a few more times I realized …
Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Snakes on a Plane… The title pretty much sums it up: that’s what the movie is about, snakes on a plane biting and killing people. There is no point, no deeper meaning, just that. Of course, there is some basic plot, explaining how hundreds of snakes got on an …

Champagne Charlie movie
About a man called Charles Heidsieck, a wealthy person who lived in the 19th century, who is famous for the fact that he introduced champagne in America. What I find awkward about this film is that it doesn’t focus on the champagne itself, or what it had as effects …
Deja Vu
The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …

King Kong Movie

Hulk vs Thor (movie)
I was never really interested in the Thor comic book series when I was a little girl, but ever since I watched the movie “Thor” and “The Avengers”, an interest in the marvel character has been kindled. Therefore, from time to time I find movies and stories about the …
Monkey Shines
Monkey Shines is a pretty good movie, and yes it is kind of scary. It is not super scary. It’s more of a movie that messes with your head. But the monkey in the movie does look kind of spooky. The music in the movie was pretty dark and scary. …
Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …

Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I normally like murder mysteries, especially ones that don’t review who the killer is until the very end. However, in the case of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I was very disappointed.
The movie centers around Robert Downey Jr who plays an actor who impersonates a private eye and Val Kilmer, …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …

Be careful what you wish for this is the story line behind this movie as a young man craving love and attention from a beautiful woman strikes a deal with the devil in human form. Every wish that he makes comes to reality but with a dark twist and …
The Reaping Movie
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …

The Father of the Bride
Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …
Movie The Hangover
I went and seen the Hangover movie today, with a bunch of friends it suppose to be hilarious. I went with an open mind although it is suppose to be a guy’s type of movie, a guy’s worst case scenario in my opinion, but my friends were really interested …
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 …

Film Terminator Salvation
More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …
Movie Cloverfield
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Cloverfield. It stars a lot of no names. So it starts with this dude asked to tape this going away party for this guy. He is to document what people say. So, he has the camera rolling all the time. Everybody seems …

Soul Survivors is one of the most confusing movies ever made. Yet I still find myself watching it every few years. When I do re-watch it, I still find myself wondering what exactly happened, and feeling highly confused by the plot. Then a few months pass, and I end …

John Tucker Must Die Movie
I took my mother out to see this movie for her birthday back when it came out. I’m not exactly sure when it came out but I believe it was around 2005 or so. I was actually the one who wanted to see, not my mother, but she agreed …
Third Harry Potter Movie
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was very impatient for this movie, especially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. I had heard there would be a new director so I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations. It …
Movie Ishtar
When this thing came out in the late 1980’s, it was slammed so roundly by a mass group of film critics that I didn’t even bother to go see it. I did, however, decide to “treat” myself to a cable television presentation of it not long ago …

27 dresses
This was a ok movie but I think that they could have made it a lot better. It wasn’t all that funny and it was also boring throughout the movie. There were only a couple of parts that I thought were funny and most of those parts were shown …

Silent Hill (2006 movie)
I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …
Kung Fu Hustle movie
For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …
Pulp Fiction movie
When Pulp Fiction was released, I had not seen a good movie like this in a while. Pulp Fiction held my attention from the moment the movie started and I waited with my breath held to see what would happen next until the end of the movie. John Travolta …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
It is very difficult for a sequel to make the audience feel the same excitement as the first movie, and this sequel didn’t quite live up to that… However, it didn’t fail either. The second Transformers movie did a bad job, and a good job of giving us …
