Perhaps the single most influential film ever made is this silent milestone by american pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith. It tells a very complex melodrama taking place during the american civil war. It’s difficult to watch a film like this through the same eyes as the people did when it …

There’s rarely a sequel to a Hollywood blockbuster that lives up the original in any way. I have to agree with this when it comes to the second installment of the Jason Bourne series, The Bourne Supremacy. Though it’s still good, I can’t say that it holds a candle …

I’m not really much of a sports movie fan. I don’t really like “Remember the Titans”. I didn’t even watch “Invincible”. I was never interested in watching “Rudy”. The only sports movie I really really loved was “D2: The Mighty Ducks”. Then along came “Shaolin Soccer”. This comedic masterpiece …

Every few months I get the urge to watch The Lost Boys again, and considering the sheer amount of movies I have, that’s saying a lot. I was only a kid when the movie first came out, and I didn’t have the chance to see it until I was …

Ghost Town is one of those movies where the story is so familiar that you already know what is going to have even if you are only given a little bit of the plot. (I found this with Avatar as well). I mean, this is such a common plot …

It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …

I had never heard of the crime drama film “Snatch” until years after it was released in the early 2000s. It stars the famous actor Brad Pitt, and the movie is about two men working as boxing promoters who realize that they can make a lot of money …

Although it is essentially a live-action film, Transformers blows Ratatouille out of the water when it comes to computer animation; the CG sequences in Michael Bay’s latest film are simply incredible, pushing computer graphics to the verge of realism. The film as a whole is a wild ride, with …

Ronin, directed by John Frankenheimer is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence and some language. The original release date for this movie was September 25, 1998 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars Robert De Niro …

When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …

Last night, I watched Sentinal with Keiffer Sutherland and Michael Douglas. Although the movie did not get great reviews, I really liked it. It was action-packed, steamy, mysterious, and it kept me from falling asleep, that’s for sure! I thought that Michael Douglas did a fabulous job …

A lot can be said about the movie Live Free Or Die Hard. First of all, if you are a fan for action flick Bruce Willis, chances are you will enjoy this show. The other fact is if you are not a Bruce Willis fan, but a …

I wanted to see this movie for a long time as I like dinosaur movies and it turned out to be rather decent! Yes, it’s not exactly another Jurassic Park but the movie has a solid enough plot and the pterodactyls looked pretty good. The only real hitch is …

When I saw this film come out in theatres, I thought that it would be just like all the others out there. There are always those teen films with the requisite killer, and one of those teens ends up dying, etc. etc. But this movie was …

Black Snake Moan is a movie starring Samuel L. Jackson, who is definitely beginning to look his age, Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake. Christina Ricci is a young woman who is promiscuous and an abuser of drugs. Her partner, Justin Timberlake, is a young man who desperately loves her …

The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Director: Zooey Deschanel. Featuring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt.
This is not a sequel to the 2003 Hulk. This time the writers and the director take a brand new approach. They reboot the story of how he had got to be the …

I really need to stop adding films to my netflix list after a drink of wine. I must not be much of a drinker because every time I have a drink and do so a few weeks later I get some movie I do not ever remember hearing …

With a venerable liking for most things I’ve seen almost all of the movies and some shows, I must say that JJ did a nice work with this film. The director JJ Abrams has done a brilliant job in resurrecting an ailing franchise to the glee of millions of …

One of spanish original filmmaker Pedro Almodovar’s early films from the 1980s tells the story about a family mother and her bizarre family. Somewhere between drama and comedy as usual with Almodovar, he pictures his characters with a lot of sympathy and sense of humor at once, and his …

Quigley Down Under, directed by Simon Wincer is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was October 19, 1990 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Drama/Western and stars Tom Selleck as Matthew Quigley, Laura San Giacomo as Crazy …

Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
Oddly, though, I’m not a huge fan of Easter …

I Think I Love My Wife, directed by Chris Rock is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for pervasive language and some sexual content. The original release date was March 16, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Drama/Romance and stars …

The group of well known British comics who used to star in “Monty Python Flying Circus” short films came out with a film in 1975 called “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. Now, this film is without a doubt an acquired type of comedy, but a comedy none the …

I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …

I sat down and watched this movie with my whole family. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It was original and unique, not like a lot of other movies out today. It had it’s own storyline to it. There was hardly any gory parts in the movie, if …

I love Only Fools & Horses and I was so glad when a seventh series was broadcast in 1991. As long as John Sullivan can keep writing brilliant comedy I see no reason to say goodbye to the Trotter brothers. —˜The Sky’s The Limit’ is the first …

I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …

As much as there are good movies, funny ones and scary movies from Koreans that we all love, I haave to say that there would always be an exception. For the first one, there is this movie that I took some time to download, it is called Il Mare. …

I must say that I did not completely look forward to the film The Incredible hulk. This is because the first film in the series was pretty awful. There are a lot of things the Hulk can be, but boring is definitely not one of them. So, when …

A Sound Of Thunder with Edward Burns and Ben Kingsley.
This adaption of a Ray Bradbury science fiction thriller was very interesting and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Consider this concept. People who live in the future will have the ability …

I had the baby early this morning and ended up trying to find a good movie to watch. I ended up watching a film I hadn’t seen in a while; Star Trek First Contact.
I’m actually not a huge fan of the Star Trek Next Generation films like this one. …

I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …

As I was browsing through thriller movies in IMDB, what caught my eye from a particular list was the title of this movie. I also saw the list of cast which included my favorites: Brittany Snow, John Heard, and Enver Gjokaj. I was aware of the game in real …

“Inside Mecca” is a National Geographic television production (2003). It follows three Muslims engaging in hajj: a woman from Texas, a man and his wife from Malaysia, and a man from South Africa.
Pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam (faith, prayer, alms giving, and fasting). In …

I’ve always though Rodney Dangerfield was more annoying than funny and his movie Back to School did nothing to make me change my mind about that.
Dangerfield plays a millionaire who decides to attend college to further his education and in an attempt to get some bonding time with his …

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 …

My sister has wanted to watch the Spiderwick Chronicles now for a long time. So I bought it for her on her last birthday. She was extremely excited when she got it and she watched it that night. I think she must have watched it for about 5 …

I watched The Haunting in Connecticut the other day with my boyfriend and there are lots of scary moments for me. I was so scared out of my mind and a lot of times it made me laugh because I was so nervous like when a member of the …

Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …

Pauly Shore is Dead is Pauly Shore’s first movie since the lamentable Jury Duty. Meant to be a comedic satire and a lament about the state of Hollywood in destroying Pauly Shore’s career (Shore is unable to accept that it is own lack of talent that is the …

“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …

Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.
Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …

This is without doubt one of the most horrible movies I’ve ever seen! It is truly awful and as I watched it, it grew worst and worst.
The way they filmed it is just ghastly. There are many scenes in this movie where odd colored bands cover part of …

This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Comedy/Crime/Mystery and stars Nicolas cage as H.I. McDunnough, Holly Hunter as Edwina ‘Ed’ McDunnough, …

Growing up we would hear about this crazy cartoon called Alvin and the Chipmunks. There were cartoons on television, there were records made with these three adorable little creatures and the nation just could not get enough of them
This past Christmas season there was a movie called Alvin …

There are two versions of “The Mayor of Casterbridge” movie; the one I am reviewing here is the 1978 mini-series starring Alan Bates. The story is based on a novel by Thomas Hardy. It starts with a young married couple, Michael and Susan Henchard, traveling afoot to some new …

I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Transformers, starring Shia LaBeouf. So how does one even start to talk about the plot of this movie? Hmmm. Well, this movie is about a kid named Sam. Sam is of the age where he wants a car. His father buys him a …

Dear John is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. I would say the novel was more outstanding than the movie, in terms of details. The movie however, is still a great romance flick to watch with your significant other.
The movie starrs Channing Tatum as John and …

Maleficent is another one of the Disney movies that made its appearance earlier in the year. Not animation, but a live action film that promised to tell a different story than what the Disney fans are used to. I will happily admit that I am a Disney fan that …
