Upright Citizens Brigade The Complete First Season DVD
Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …
What about Bob?
I really liked the movie What about Bob?. I think Bill Murray was very funny as the character of Bob. Bob is a guy who has mental problems and has to go see a shrink. He also is very paranoid and scared of everything. I think it’s very funny when …
Without a Trace Movie
This movie may be little known to the general public.But is shown frequently on most cable and satellite channels. It is one of the most heart warming and heart wrenching movies i’ve ever seen.It involves the disappearance of an 8 year old little boy on his way to school.The …
Amadeus Movie
I had missed the movie Amadeus when it first came out, so I’ve discovered it only recently, having rented a tape from our local library. It was surprisingly good. F. Murray Abraham is unforgettable as Salieri, the court composer struggling with jealousy and questioning God’s decision to give an …
Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
Paranoid Park Movie
I have never seen a Gus Van Sant film, however obviously the fact that he is a well-known director tipped me off to the fact that there might be something worth checking out there. Going through my Netflix on a lazy Sunday, I discovered a movie called Paranoid Park, …
Ocean’s Thirteen
I did not enjoy Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve movie very much but I really did love the Ocean’s Thirteen movie. This movie is star studded. It involves several famous Hollywood actors that is very well worth the time and effort in watching the movie. The movie is about …
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009. It was directed by Stephen Sommers. I almost didn’t see this movie thinking it was for a younger audience. I’m glad I decided to. I liked it! That surprised me as I was never …
King Kong Movie
I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …
Ratatouille
Ok … this is another cute mouse movie by Disney. It’s quite alright … but I don’t think it was geared towards a wide enough audience. I thought it was so cute; the mouse cooking for the guy who wanted to be chef; and the transformation the chef made …
Big Momma’s House 2
This was by far one of the dumbest movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching. I was made to watch this by a friend and tried to watch it with an open mind, but that was dashed 5 minutes into the movie. Don’t get me wrong, Martin …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Director- Scott Dickerson
Cast- Keanu Reeves(Klaatu), Jennifer Connelly(Dr.Helen Benson), John Cleese(Noble prize winner Environmentalist)
This film is a remake of a 1951 classic science fiction film of the same name. Although most of the critics here in India gave it negative reviews my opinion stands otherwise. According to me this is …
Harry Potter and the Sorceror
I’m home today because it’s Saturday and I can’t really afford to go out and do much more than sit around the house and watch movies all day.
One movie we ended up watching today was Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …
Matrix the movie
Matrix the first part, of course, called just The Matrix is my favourite move, later the move becomes just to naive and simple to me, we all knew how ill the tird part finish, didn’t we?
The first part is full of the very memorable scenes like that one with …
Streetfighter (movie)
What can I say Streetfighter is probably one of the worst movies based on a video game ever made. This movie tried to use the star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme but not even that was able to save the movie. The probably with Streetfighter was that the people who …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is one of the most wonderful attacks on the kung fu genre. Dreamworks did an excellent job in combining animation, kung fu and of course comedy.The whole movie made my jaw somewhat hurt from all that laughing not to mention the oohs and aahs during the …
Roman Holiday movie
Like the Prince and me that’s similar to the 1950’s classic a Roman Holiday, this time it’s guy meets princess. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and two of the greatest screen couples in film history.
Audrey Hepburn as princess Ann …
Juno
If you really enjoy watching dark comedies, then don’t miss out on watching “Juno”. This is a highly enjoyable film about a highschool student with the name of Juno, a role interpreted by Ellen Paige, who discover that she is pregnant after having sex with her best friend Paulie …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010 Movie)
This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …
Film Titanic
One of the best movies I have ever seen is the movie Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio. This movie is a great depiction of the maritime catastrophe that occured on April 15, 1912. I felt that the movie took me back to that event.
I thought …
War of the Worlds
I will be talking about the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. Now the movie is critically acclaimed to be a somewhat terrible movie. Besides one flaw at the very end of the movie, I thought the movie overall was actually brilliant. …
The Doomsday Flight
The Doomsday Flight is a movie I’ve never forgotten. I used to see it on late night television, way back before cable was even thought of. It was dramatic and even scary to me. When eBay became the big thing, I searched for it and finally …
500 Days of Summer Movie
This is a story about a boy who falls in love with a girl who’s his officemate, and they go for dates for 500 days until the girl finally realizes she’s not in love with him, but it sucks because the boy really loves him and even though they …
Katt Williams: American Hustle: The Movie (R, 2007)
I have never seen a stand-up comedy movie as funny as this one. I was a little weirded out by the fact that it was a “movie”–and not just a consecutive stand-up routine that was filmed. This movie featured Katt Williams and other comedians. But what …
Iron Man
Today I went to see Iron Man. What an excellent film.
This is the first of all the Marvel films that I feel like really had it all. A good plot, story line, special effects, cast of characters and really solid acting.
It’s rare to find this combination in a film …
We Are Marshall DVD
Sometimes, the unexpected happens when you’re watching a movie. This is the second time I can remember when I thought I was going to watch a sports movie and ended up watching a flick about the human spirit. The first time was when I saw “Brian’s Song” with …
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End is one of those movies that you can giggle your way through, but at the end of the day you kind of realize that you just did like it. The first time I saw the movie was with a group of friends. We planned …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
When a Stranger Calls
When this movie came out I was working my braing to find out exactly why the name sounded familiar to me, and then later on I realised that the movie was based off of a previous movie which was released in the late seventies and I had watched some …
Movie Charade (1963)
Perhaps I’d like to call myself an Audrey Hepburn devotee because every time I sit down and watch one of her chick flicks, it gives me yet another reason to dig more on her profile as an actress of several films. Her onscreen portrayals are made known by …
Ghost Busters (1984)
Ghost Busters, directed by Ivan Reitman is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was June 8, 1984 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Comedy/Science Fiction and stars Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman, Dan Aykroyd as Dr. …
The Men Who Stare at Goats Movie
The Men Who Stare at Goats opening credits proclaim “More of This is True Than You Would Believe” and I don’t doubt it for a second.
Bob Wilton (Ewan Macgregor), a small town reporter goes on a quest to prove to his wife who had left him, that she …
Perry Mason: The Case of the Reckless Romeo movie
Perry Mason: The Case of the Reckless Romeo is notable because at the time of filming the main guest star, Tracy Nelson, was married to regular William R. Moses, who played Ken Malansky. They made a nice pair while they were married, and it was fun to see …
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003 movie)
Pro Football coach Steve Martin, convinces his family to pack-up and relocate to another state in order to unlift his career. Steve’s wife Bonnie Hunt has just published a best-selling book, and she too has plans of furthering her career. With their career plans all laid out, where does …
There Will Be Blood, epic drama film
Directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite films of all times. The movie comes in two formats for the DVD, the single disc and the two disc special edition. Both offer the film in its entirety, but the one is …
Red Planet movie
Years into the future planet earth is almost ruined and the human race needs to flee colonise other planets. The closest match is Mars, but on the way there some astronauts make a mistake that will have terrible effects on the future.
This film came out the same year as …
Dickinson Eastglen 16 movie theater, Lee’s Summit, MO
As someone who loves to go to the movies, I am so disappointed in our local movie theater - Dickinson Eastglen 16. Over the past several years, the facility has fallen into a state of disrepair. Several of the faucets in the bathroom no longer work and …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is latest movie to come out and the fifth installment of the Harry Potter franchise. In my opinion, this is the best movie of the franchise. A HUGE improvement from the mess that was Harry Potter and the Goblet …
Sydney White
I had heard of the movie Sydney White but never made an effort to watch it until yesterday. I have to admit it was a cute movie.
Amanda Bynes stars in the comedy, which is a modern day rendition of Snow White and the 7 dwarves. Only, it takes place …
Blue Valentine movie
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …
Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …
What Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath is a very good movie. It is not really a supernatural story, but it plays with emotions, feelings, a bit of haunting feeling and lots of gutsy, instinct-feelings of a wife, in the end to realize that she is living with not just a cheating …
Coyote Ugly movie
Piper Perabo made a big splash in Coyote Ugly back in 2000. The female coyote craze has really grown since then. These are women who both bar-tend and entertain the patrons. They’re gone for getting up atop the bar and singing and dancing, in groups and …
Grace Card (2011 Film)
The 2011 film “Grace Card” is a film geared to motivate people to set the way for a change and for a better place where everyone is equal. While there were many wonderful moments in the film (including the plot itself) there were also a few parts that seemed …
