Christine
I’ve never taken the time to read the Stephen King book Christine but finally got around to watching the movie last night. Overall, it wasn’t too bad.
The film, which is about a living car and a teenaged boy’s obsession over it, is a bit drawn out and takes a …

Popular Casts : Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine
Just My Luck is a simple Romantic Comedy about a lucky girl who loses her luck because she kisses a bad-luck guy. Then, she has to find a way to get her luck back, even if she has to kiss various men to …
Love Actually movie
Love actually is a feel good movie that was released in 2003 and is written and directed Richard Curtis who also worked on Notting Hill and Bridget Jones’s Diary.
In this star studded movie it is all about love. It is about finding love, losing love and un-required love.
I always …
10th Kingdom Movie
A fairytale story about some teenagers finding themselves in the world of Snow White, Cinderella and lots of other fairytale characters when walking through Central Park in New York.
A film clearly intended for young teenagers, but if you look at it in that way I actually have to admit …
Star Trek The Motion Picture movie
This is the first entry in what was to become a very long and hugely successful series of Star Trek films starring the cast from the 1960s TV shows. As such, I think that any Star Trek fan will want to watch it, but perhaps not all that many …
Grease movie
I watched the movie “Grease” with my daughter this afternoon on DVD.
“Grease” is pretty much a classic musical which stars Olivia Newton John as Sandy and John Travolta as Danny Zuko. This movie was made in 1977. This movie is based on the play but I do think the …
Movie Twilight
Yesterday I saw this movie ‘twilight’, it’s kind of romantic drama and action movie wiyh good effect and nice location. The reason I wanna watch this movie is to see Robert Pattinson. He’s so cute. First time I saw him, he act in the ‘Harry Potter and the goblet …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
This past weekend, we rented three movies. We were disappointed by 2. We absolutely loved the third one; Mr. Bean’s Holiday.
I’m actually a bit saddened by the fact this is going to be the last Mr. Bean movie. I say this because I have never laughed so hard at …
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. …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Have you ever watched a movie that for the life of you you just can’t manage to sit through the whole thing, for every time it comes and you decide your mind that this time you are going to make the effort to sit down and watch it right …
Winter’s Bone Movie
Winter’s Bone is the kind of movie that drags you down for hours after you finish watching it. Nothing particularly gory or traumatizing happens, however this slow, heavy clunker pulls you down like a boulder. I cannot figure out for the life of me why or how this film …
The Lion King
The Lion King is the greatest 2-D animated movie ever made in my opinion. The film has great characters and great messages peppered throughout the whole movie. This movie aroused everyone of my emotions. I found myself crying and laughing off and on the whole movie …
Hot Fuzz movie
The first time I saw Simon Pegg was in the movie ‘Shaun of the Dead’ which I didn’t really watch more than a few minutes of because I had just watched it from the middle and wasn’t really into it. The next time I saw the actor was in his …
The Truth about Cats & Dogs
I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …
Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
Movie: Popcorn
Synopsis: A college film making group is targeted by a person they believe to be a psycho film maker while putting on a horror movie festival at an old theater.
What I liked about this movie: I started watching this figuring it would fall into the old B-rated slasher movie …
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Director: John Singleton. Featureing: Paul Walker, Eva Mendes, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Cole Hauser.
I really loved that movie. It is a true blockbuster, filled with all the right ingredients- the cars, the well choreographed and impossible car races, the humour, the friendship and the beautiful woman. Worth watching.
It is …
Superman Doomsday
Let me start off by saying…”One of the best Superman Movies animated or not ever made”. I have always been of the opinion that Superman’s portrayed character is so lame, why is he called “Superman” in the first place. He always seems to get the tar beat out of …
My Mom’s New Boyfriend (movie)
I am not usually a fan of the romance comedy genre of film, but when I heard about the plot of this film somewhere a few years ago, I decided that I wanted to watch it. However, I was a little skeptical about how enjoyable I would find it …
American Violet movie
American Violet is a movie that I knew very little about. I had been seeing a billboard advertising it inside one of the neighborhood restaurants I sometimes frequent. This still did not really grab my attention although I am an avid movie lover.
I ended up coming across the movie …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …
The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond is one of the weakest in the series, with another ‘out there’ villain, played by Robert Carlisle and a ridiculous plot that makes ‘The World is Not Enough’ simply unbearable to sit through. Let me be clear: I hate this movie. …
Hocus Pocus
Who doesn’t love this movie ?!? It has Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in it ! I own it on DVD and in my ipod; I adore those cheesy Halloween-y witch-y movies. I don’t give summaries on my reviews because I don’t want to give the plot away. …
Cowboy Bebop,The Movie (2001)
A bounty hunter and his crew try to bring down a terrorist who plans of unleashing a deadly virus on the unsuspecting public. Spike is the head-huter in charge and his crew consists of a former police detective (Jet) who is also a cyborg, next is a computer savvy …
Project Almanac (science fiction movie)
As soon as I watched the trailer for the movie Project Almanac it was easy for me to determine that it wasn’t going to be very good. However since I’m generally unable to resist movies about time travel I decided to watch it. While it did live up to my …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I am a confessed Harry Potter addict. I even make it a point to get the first editions of the books on the day they come out, and I willingly line up just to be the first one to watch a Harry Potter movie. I submitted a review of …
The Maxican (2001)
The Mexican, directed by Gore Verbinski is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for violence and language. The original release date was March 2, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Comedy/Crime/Romance and stars Brad Pitt as Jerry Welbach, Julia Roberts …
John Tucker Must Die
Before renting this movie, i had heard TONS of negative reviews. So who cares? The people who review movies in newspapers are CRAZY! Some of the best movies receive 2 or 3 stars, while absolutely atrocious movies receive 5! However, the fact that many of …
Slither movie not worth watching
When I saw the previews for Slither on TV, I thought it was going to be a good horror movie. After all, you can’t go wrong with slimy slugs that take over people’s bodies and turn them into zombies.
Unfortunately, the makers of the movie missed big-time and turned what …
Remember Me Movie
Okay, I admit it I only watched this movie because of Robert Pattinson and their beautiful movie poster that hung at the cinema every time I pass by. Having said that, I find the movie a bit dragging and the emotions they portray are blown out of proportion. …
The Reader
I went to watch The Reader pretty recently, and I must say that although the movie is quite alright, it could have been better. That’s what I personally feel. But make no mistake on the fact that Kate Winslet has done a good job once more and that …
Me, Myself & Irene (starring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger)
I watched Me, Myself & Irene 2 times actually and the first time I watched, I didn’t really have a clue as to what the story is all about because I wasn’t concentrating at all. During that time, the movie story was shown on my local TV and I …
It’s a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra movie
Like thousands before me, I adore Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I initially only consented to watch the movie because James Stewart played the main role. As a teenager, he was one of my idols, and I watched every movie he played in which I could get my …
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 …
The Reader movie
The reader is an Oscar winning movie. It released a bit late in my country and when it was released, I decided to see it on the very first day itself.
This film is unique in terms of showing the side of a German who was directly involved in the …
Nightmare Before Christmas
It’s baaaaack! Tim Burton’s classic movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is back, better than ever- and now in 3-D!
I am a huge fan of Jack “The Pumpkin King” Skellington and the gang- and since the Disney hit was released first in 1993, then re-released out of the vault …
Bright Star (Movie)
Bright Star is a 2009 British film made by the BBC, telling the story of the romantic poet John Keats’ love affair with Fanny Brawne. This is a costume drama of they type that the BBC make so well, with great attention to period detail, especially the costumes in …
The Secret movie
I came across a movie on Netflix called “The Secret” and it sounded like a really good thriller. The fact it starred David Duchovny also won me over because I’ve always felt he was an underrated actor.
However, while the movie turned out to be halfway decent, I also found …
Dirty Dancing Collector’s Edition DVD
Dirty Dancing Collector’s Edition DVD is a one disk collection that does, of course, feature the iconic film, Dirty Dancing, starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. The movie about a young Jewish girl coming into her own and finding love with the bad boy from the other side …
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 …
Skyfall Movie
Skyfall is the latest and greatest James Bond 007 film, and while I admit I have never seen a James Bond film before, I absolutely loved Skyfall! It is action-packed, funny, and thrilling, and it had the entire theater at the edge of their seats. I absolutely loved Skyfall, …
Rogue movie
Shoot me now for not having the heart to stand up and leave this movie when I had the chance. I kept saying I just needed to see the monster rogue before I gave up on it, but the director was smart enough to only show the entire thing …
Movie The Strangers
I just rented and watched the movie the strangers today and it was pretty good. I am not going to say it was a 10 because there were parts of the movie that I felt like “I wish it would hurry up and end”. At the same time …
Fullmetal Alcehmist Brotherhood Episode 26

Daylight (1996)
A series of events, that have no real reason other than to lead up to what this movie is about, leave the tunnel that connects Manhattan to New Jersey in a weakened and near destroyed state. With people trapped inside the tunnel, and water is coming in tempting to …
We Own the Night movie
This movie, We Own the Night, is not one I would normally watch under any circumstances were it not for the fact that someone sent it to me. Never turn down a trusted freebie, as I always say. However, it’s crude from the get go, and that’s …
Movie: The Comebacks
I got a longer lunch today than normal (to avoid working overtime) and ended up being able to watch a movie on TV. I came across the film the Comebacks, which I had seen before but, since I couldn’t remember much about it, couldn’t remember if I liked it …
Taken the movie
I was first attracted to watch the movie “Taken” when I learned that Liam Neeson was heading the cast: I’ve always had a high regard for his acting ability and innate charm. Adding to the attraction for me was the fact that Luc Besson, the French film director, was …
The Change Up Movie 2011
Very recently I just saw the movie The Change Up. The theme of this movie is literally switching lives and switching bodies. If you have seen the movie the Kid with Tom Hanks or Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, pretty much this is exactly the …
