Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …

This is a fun scary movie that is available on dvd. It’s about a teenage girl who doesn’t fit in at school and prefers dressing in a goth style, with Halloween her favorite holiday. Her style of dress causes problems at school as the popular girls think she’s weird …

This DVD has quite an assortment of Spongebob episodes to choose from. Including classic episodes like the Bubble Stand and Squid’s Day off. It’s a good way to unwind after a long day at work.
My favorite episode on this DVD is “Spongebob Meets the Strangler, where Spongebob turns in …

Rarely am I interested in movies, so it always comes as a surprise for me if I’m interested in watching a movie for a second or even third time. Despicable Me was such a great movie that I now have it on a regular weekend rotation. This movie, starring …

A man plays with his son on a merry-go-round…another lays calmly in the distance sipping liquid through a straw, he takes aim and shots the man and son; man lives, boy dies.
Six years later…
John Travolta is CIA Agent Sean Archer whose son was brutally murdered at the savage hands …

I completely forgot about the movie “Turbulence” until very recently when I saw it being broadcast on a cable televison channel again. Since the name sounded familiar I decided to even watch half of it in order to refresh my memory on the movie. The result was that I …

As much as I thought I would enjoy the movie Entrapment, I will start out by saying it took me more than a month to actually watch it from beginning to end mostly because I couldn’t stand to be bored for more than a few minutes at a time.
Sean …

Hopefully you have loving friends and/or family members who have already warned you to stay away from this epic abomination, but in case you don’t-or if you are actually an adult considering seeing a movie whose very title screams “AWFUL!” louder than an atomic blast-DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. …

With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …

Cleaner the movie is running short than 2 hours but I think it is not that bad of a movie. This is about a crime story and at first when my sister brought this DVD movie home, I thought it’s another funny comedy flick or something. But once …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …

A day in the life of a typical blue collar working class suburban family man as a loving husband and father soon turns to turmoil when a mysterious family moves into his neighborhood. Along with other home owners in the neighborhood, they get to thinking that their new neighbors …

I like the concept for New Moon, the second movie episode of the famous Twilight saga based on the Stephenie Meyer bunch of vampire novels, which are causing such a stir in the movie and literary worlds. The reason for the New Moon title is that Bella, the …

Anatomy of a Murder is an excellent courtroom drama, dealing with the case of an army lieutenant who has been charged with the murder of the man who raped and beat up his wife. The defense lawyer for the accused, Paul Biegler, is played by the fantastic James …

Hostel
Ever see a great movie that ended up being a disappointing movie before the running time was up?
Hostile falls into that category 100% Over sexed college guys trekking across Europe go in search of a Hostel where all their fantasies will be fulfilled, only to discover they are now …

This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …

The “Jason Bourne” series of spy movies has been an enormous attraction for Matt Damon who coolly travels through these films like a Tiger Shark waiting for his next prey. He is apparently always one step ahead of the espionage officials who look for him and one move quicker …

I suppose The Invisibles was one of the earlier movies that Portia de Rossi star in. Together with a not bad looking actor (I don’t know his name, really), this is a story on what is perhaps happening in the world of celebrities. I find the characters of …

If you believe in movies about reincarnation and stuff like that, you would love to watch Birth (2004). This movie features Nicole Kidman, and she plays a very depressed and sad wife who still mourns for her husband after 10 years after his demise. Her family persuaded …

“12 Years A Slave” is a 2013 Biography, drama and history movie directed by Steve McQueen. I found the title of this movie to be very attractive making me imagine about some kind of slavery story. I didn’t recognized any of the main actors in the movie except Brad …

There are good movies, there are bad movies, and then there are movies that are so bad that they’re good. These are movies that manage to entertain because of the bad acting, sub par writing, and low budget.
Lately, there has been a push to try and intentionally …

After life is the movie that left me guessing and I couldn’t sleep after watching it. Is Christina Ricci really dead there or alive? Was Liam Neeson a good guy who speaks to the dead or some psycho creep that kills people who don’t deserve to live, like what …

The interesting thing about movies based on the life of a real historical figure is you sometimes get a point of view that is different than you would come to expect. And, that difference makes the movie much better than you expected it to be.
The Other Boleyn Girl is …

Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …

Nuts has too much profanity in it for my taste, but otherwise, Nuts is a wonderful movie. Never assume because your assumptions may be all wrong. People wanted to judge Claudia Draper, a woman accused of murder. She was a high priced call girl, and that’s …

12 Monkeys is a strange, mind bender of a movie starring Brad Pitt (as a mental patient) and Bruce Willis (as a time traveler searching for the source of a mysterious plague that wiped out most of the earth’s inhabitants.) James Cole is a convict living in a …

The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …

Nowadays, at a time when directors molest us with technical fireworks, and writers write such spins that are so twisted that in the head turns, the movie “127 hours” is a gem. History of simple, painful and true like a biblical parable. Danny Boyle once again showed class.
What does this …

I watched this movie about three or four times and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. It is one of those movies that you can never forget. I would describe it as a very delicate film, approaching very serious problems in a playful manner, but for this very reason …

“Captain Planet” was a cartoon which would be aired sometimes on weekday afternoons when I was still a child. I did not necessarily love the show, but I appreciated it a little since it was better than watching the children’s show “Sesame Street” which I had outgrown before I …

I really wish African American films would get better than this. This film was such a rip-off of “Soul Food” that it is not even funny. The sisters fighting the youngest one dating an “intelligent thug”, legal troubles, selling Big Mama/Ma’Dere’s property the list just …

The Last Airbender is a movie I would not pay for to see again. However, that doesn’t mean it was necessarily a bad movie. The effects were dead on, the casting was great, and the accuracy to the cartoon wasn’t bad either.
However, it was not long enough, and …

Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …

Disney films can be characterized by the epithet “fairy tale.” And The Ice Princess is no exception: a simple, somewhat naive plot. A schoolgirl heroine, a kind of “Cinderella” who is bound to become a star at the end. There are very few movies about sports, per se. In …

Spectular…just Spectular!! The pinnacle in Anime, no other work has come close to matching the raw talent in Akira. It’s a visual masterpiece. It’s easy to see why this film is great…and seeing is believing, you must see it to believe it. I dare not tell you what the …

One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …

George of the Jungle is a 1997 Disney film starring Brenden Frasier..It is an animated adaption of the George of the Jungle Cartoon.It is about a baby who was raised in the jungle by apes.He got lost in the African jungle due to a plane crash.25 years later, a woman …

I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.
I’m a big fan of Anne Rice and it’s so rare to like the movie version of a book but this film could not be any more perfect.
I thought they captured the darkness of her books wonderfully. They managed …

It was my sister who pointed me towards The Shoes of the Fisherman several years ago, and now I think I like it more than she does. Actually, I love this movie. It’s not about the religion, it’s about the principle and what could be if the powers …

Nabari No Ou Episode 2 begins with the arrival of Raimei Shimizu, an acquaintance of Kumohira Sensei. They decide to go to the FÅ«ma Village to see Kotarō, the village chief.
This episode was really good, it gave Miharu character development. It was also a well written. …

The film begins with a 14 year old girl talking to a man who she met over the internet, they agree to meet and Jeff Kohlver (Patrick …

Erin Brockovich is in my opinion a semi-classic movie, which is good for watching many times over,rather than just once. For me it works at a lot of different levels, from being a simple “more power to women” movie, to a David v/s Goliath struggle against a large corporation, …

I have been following the Academy Award seasons for three years now. Most of the time they nominate my favorite films of the year. And sometimes, during my early stages of paying attention to the nominated films, I was able to discover beautiful gems that I wasn’t able to see. …

We get a taste as to what to expect as the movie progresses, a male and a female are doing rock climbing, the man reaches the top first and while cheering the female onward is thrown off to his death by unseen killers, in that same instance, the killers …

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a great movie! The cast is all the same with new characters being introduced. I though Lockheart was perfectly portrayed and oh my goodness, Lucius Malfoy is absolutely perfect! I hate his character but I love to watch him onscreen because …
