The film The Secret
I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …

Crank, Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor Movie
The film in the form of actual action it is my opinion after watching Crank, Jason Statham movies. How not? During the 88 minutes duration movie spectators have given the treat of action for the action scenes without stopping, sooner and actually pumping adrenalin. There is no pretense in …

The Hunger Games (movie)
One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Although my daughter is too young to write reviews, she surely knows how to show if she enjoyed watching a film or not. “Alvin and the Chipmunks” is amongst her favourite and she keeps watching it and watching it. Soon I will start knowing the film script by heart!
Although …

All the President’s Men
I’m not into politics much at all, but like most of America, I was glued to much of the Watergate hearings. All the President’s Men is the story of how we got to that point, and it’s superbly done. I remember when I first saw it in …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …

Bug
I really get the wrong idea when I first watch Bug. I thought it is some kind of a horror movie or something, but when in the end I realized that this story is something like the genre of ‘art movie’, displaying about life, people and their characters, …
The Wild (movie)
To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …
Children of Dune movie
Children of Dune was a 2003 SyFy channel made-for-tv release based on the books by Frank Herbert. Now I typically shy away from movies based on books and, more specifically, movies that are practically remakes from 1980’s classics, such as the original Dune, but I was shocked by the …
Latin Lovers movie
From 1953, Latin Lovers was a fun romantic comedy about a woman with a whole lot of money she didn’t really care about. Played by Lana Turner, Nora Taylor would rather be in love than deal with her $37 million dollars. Persuing her is confident Paul Chevron, …

Wanted DVD
I was not familiar with Wanted. So when I and a friend of mine decided to watch it, I really had nothing to expect (except for a very hot Angelina Jolie, which is very obvious on the DVD cover).
The moment the movie started, I was instantly hooked. James McAvoy, …
Nine to Five movie (1980)
I remember seeing “Nine to Five” for the first time when I was only twelve years old. I loved it then, and I love it just as much today. I still like to watch parts of it whenever it appears on TV. To all the ladies out there, this …
Love Affair movie
This 1939 film called Love Affair is considered a classic romantic piece, and it’s beloved by a lot of people, but I’m not really one of them. I just have so many moralistic problems with the piece in various forms. Part of it is the lack of …

Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …

The series seems to be taking an interesting direction now. It turns out that one of Dyson’s (the original Skynet creator in “Terminator 2″) interns at Cyberdyne Systems, Andy, is a new lead surrounding Skynet’s creation. He’s now a cell phone salesman (a terrible one at that) but at …
Batman Forever 1995 Movie
This version of Batman was correctly named. Batman Forever. It should have been forgotten Forever. Because this was the worst of all the current Batman movies to come out in the last 20 to 30 years. It was released in 1995 and never should have left the drawing board. …

Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …

Miss Potter
Miss Potter is funny and nice. The movie stars Renee Zellweger and I love the way she speaks with a British accent! It’s so cute and funny and at the same time, understandable. She played the character of Beatrix Potter, so obviously she’s the Miss Potter there.
Ewan …

“Up in the Air” (2009 film)
Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …
Jack Reacher 2012 Film
I recommend this film to all lovers of action films and thrillers. This film was created with a very good sense of what the lovers of these genres want.
