Inception (2010 Film)
Inception is a 2010 movie written and directed by Christopher Nolan, the very one from the “Dark Knight” trilogy. It tells the story of a team of expert burglars trained to steal, or extract, information and industrial secrets by breaking into people’s minds through their dreams.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
Nothing But the Truth: A Compelling Movie
I watched Nothing But the Truth starring Kate Beckinsale and Matt Dillon and I was really impressed with the story and the acting. It’s a story about a journalist who compromises the identity of a female CIA agent. Rachel Armstrong (Kate Beckinsale) was facing the full might of the …
The Babysitters (R, 2007)
I know that there are literally tons of movies out there in which a young, impressionable 9or not so impressionable) teen gets involved with a married husband and father. This movie puts a little spin on that typical story, with the young babysitter following through on her “talents” by …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
My review is very so so with this movie. I was so excited to see it because I heard how awesome it was and I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. I had it in my NetFlix queue for ever and was uber excited when they finally sent it …
Enemy At The Gates
No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
The Couple (Aryan Couple)
I found “The Couple” to be an engaging, entertaining movie. The October 2006 movie is just the latest in what has almost become a genre in filmmaking: the efforts to prevent Jews from going to a concentration camp and to rescue them from Nazi Germany.
I like the story of …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet DVD
I’ve always liked The Incredible Mr. Limpet from the time I first saw it as a child. It’s just a delightful motion picture that is clever and wonderful to watch. Below are a few thoughts on this DVD, now that I happily have it as part of …
Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …
Flight Plan,Movie

Hannah Montana 3D Movie
Before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter kept saying she wanted Hannah Montana tickets. Well, that was something that wasn’t going to happen, so I thought. There were no concerts coming to our area and even if there were, I heard tickets were almost impossible to get. …
The Lifeguard (2013 Film)
I was curious about the romance drama film The lifeguard, when stumbling across it on the internet movie database website. I was intrigued by the cast list and the controversial storyline. I figured since Kristen Bell was the lead role, the movie would be pretty good since she is a …
The Artist’s Circle
The Artist’s Circle is a small, artsy independent film that stars Michael Shanks, most known for his role as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. In this short drama from 2000, Shanks plays ‘the artist’. He’s promised his critics a masterpiece that they won’t forget. Among the …
Righteous Kill
I highly recommend this movie. Robert de Nero and Al Pacino play in it together. Both are great in the movie, they grab your attention and don’t let it go. You have to pay attention to the movie to really understand what was going on. The other actors in …
The Muppets (2011 film)
I wasn’t setting the bar too high for “The Muppets,” this year’s reboot of the eponymous franchise. I basically walked in with the mere hope that Jason Segel (of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame) and his collaborators weren’t going to run it even further into the ground (1999’s “Muppets from …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )
I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …
Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …
Year One
Year One features Jack Black as Zed, a bumbling hunter who is outcast from the rest of the hunters, and Michael Cera as Oh, the only male gatherer in the tribe. The two best friends end up causing the entire tribe’s camp to burn to the ground, and they …
Paris Je T’aime
I love watching Paris Je T’aime so much that I have watched it for over 2 times. This is a special case movie, and it features about 20 directors to create a 5 minute film about Paris. That is great, I get to see 20 different stories …
Thir13een Ghosts (2001)
It starts with real promise to be a great horror movie as they try to snag the juggernaut. Up to that point, this film was living up to being good, but just as fate would have it…while the other ghosts were some-what gruesome to look at, they were not …
Young Sherlock Holmes
I am reviewing the movie, Young Sherlock Holmes, a Paramount Pictures Presentation done in 1985 with executive producer Steven Spielberg, and written by Chris Columbus, who was recently involved in the first two Harry Potter movies. This movie explores the story of what would happen if Sherlock Holmes …
Horton Hears A Who
I love all sorts of family and children movies and television shows, and Horton Hears A Who is right up at the top of my list of favorites. Horton Hears A Who is a cartoon movie about Horton, an elephant who hears voices coming from a dust ball. What …
Shock movie
Mario Bava is one of Italy’s most renowned directors of horror stories. In the sixties he created the most gothic and gruesome tales memorable for their excellent visuality. Shock, which was made late in his career, tells the story of a family in which the mother slowly descends to …

Argo is a Biography, History and Drama movie based on a true story. A story of six American Ambassadors who managed to escape from the Embassy while it was attacked by some revolutionists of Iran. The story was directed by Ben Affleck who directed one of my favourite movies …
The Bishop’s Wife
One of the most loved and cherished of the holiday classics is The Bishop’s Wife from 1947. Starring Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young, it’s an enchanting story of a bishop, his wife, and a Christmas visitor. It’s magical and everything good that a movie for …
I Could Never Be Your Woman
I watched I Could Never Be Your Woman and I think that Michelle Pfeiffer is a very good actress despite her age. She plays a woman with a daughter and this is actually a very nice movie, if you watch it and give it a chance.
Paul Rudd …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
Red Sonja (1985)
A comic book fictional character comes to life for the silver screen and her name is Red Sonja, hailing from the time of Conan, she has come to seek revenge on those who killed her family. Similar to that of Conan, the plot varies little and the action sequences …
Battlefield Earth movie
A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …
Family Plot-movie
Alfred Hitchcock’s very last film before his death in which a most complicated story is told. Two different criminal couples are up to no good, and for strange reasons their paths get connected. This result in a chaotic meeting where nothing seems to be what one first is led …
Baby Mama
I’ve seen plenty of movies about giving birth before. But, I have to admit the film Baby Mama was one that offered a unique take on the miracle of life.
Rather than your typical husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend having a baby movie, this film features an adventure involving a surrogate mother …
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 …
Seven Pounds movie
This movie is very touching, very moving. It is a story of a man, Tim Thomas (played by Will Smith), who changed the lives of seven unknown people. This was his way of repaying the death of seven people in a car crash, six strangers and his fiancee. The …
Thor Movie (2011)
This movie was much talked-about and I wasn’t really into these type of movies since they’re much more of a guy’s type of movie but since there wasn’t anything else showing in the cinema except for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Beastly, of course I opted to watch …

Nanny Mcphee
Nanny Mcphee is a bit boring film with some unconvincing scenes which no logic. Emma Thompson plays Nanny McPhee in the movie and she has some magical powers which is not really convincing. Cedric Brown played by Colin Firth ia a widower and has seven children who are extremely …
Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray Movie
After Alien 3 didn’t really impress me, I wasn’t sure Alien Resurrection would be any good. I purchased the Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray. The filmmakers ended the series on a really strong note, giving some finality to the alien storyline. Ripley died to keep the …

Ferris decides to take a day off from school, but it would not be any fun without the help of his best friend Cameron, who is home sick, and his girlfriend Sloane, who is at school. So what does Ferris do? He convinces Cameron to get his lazy butt …
Mamma Mia! movie
From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …

SAW UNCUT EDITION movie

This is the second DVD Lionsgate Films has released on the runaway horror smash and it includes a few more snippets of gore than needed to be trimmed for the film to secure and R rating.
SAW is easily one of the most refreshingly original films to come …
The Happening - Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The happening is one of the worst rated movies of M. Night Shyamalan however I actually enjoyed it though I cannot call it a favorite. The movie is basically about plants giving off a chemical that causes people to commit suicide.
I can see why it has such horrible …
Click with Adam Sandler
When I first saw the trailer on television, I thought that Click would be a simple fantasy entertainment for kids. But I was wrong. Completely wrong! Click turns out to be an excellent movie for all ages. Adam Sandler is simply outstanding. If you are the type of individual …
The Last Kiss DVD
One of my favorite actors, Zach Braff (from the movie Garden State, and the popular tv show Scrubs), stars in a movie from 2006 called The Last Kiss. The movie is rate R for sexuality, nudity, and language. It’s only 103 minutes, so the movie isn’t stretched out. I …
Time Changer
Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is full of action, adventure, and plenty of comedy.
After seeing the first of the two movies I was extemely impressed, and expected even better from the second. It was even better than expected.
The movie is about a young boy who has the knowledge needed for an evil …
Movie : We Were Soldiers (2002)
