National Treasure
When I first saw the movie “National Treasure” advertising to be released I thought it was based on the book “The Da Vinci Code” by author Dan Brown. This was because I had just finished reading the book, and had heard either on the television or from one of …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
This movie stars Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. This movie came out in 2009. I watched this on an airplane and I must say I wasn’t able to enjoy it as much as I wanted to due to constant interruption from passengers and flight crew. However, the movie was …
The Great Debaters
I was really stuck watching this movie. Its a real life story of how the Black Americans fought their way to be able to have the same rights as that of the White Americans. I love seeing this movie since its very informative. Denzel Washington is one of my …
Alien (1979)
The original and, in my honest opinion, without doubt the best of the series; Alien not only stands the test of time in its own genre, but in the landscape of film altogether.
While Alien has hardly been short changed by the critics and a vast audience, there are …
Pretty Woman
Pretty Woman - Review : I watched this a few days back on HBO. This is again a Cinderella kinda story with Julia Roberts playing a Hooker.
One day, she is hired for a night Richrd Gere, who is a business Tycoon. They meet for sex, and end up liking …
Movie The Uninvited
“The Uninvited” is billed as a horror flick, but it’s actually a mystery/ghost story with a twist ending.

Brother Bear
This is one of my favorite animated movies. I love to watch this movie with my younger sister. It’s a great movie for the whole family and enjoyable to watch. It kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. There were plenty of parts that made me really …
Nature vs. Nurture
Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …
Mr Beans Holiday
Me and my husband saw an advert on tv for this and thought it looked very funny and as we love the tv series we thought we would give it a try….

Marie Antoinette movie
Marie Antoinette is a fairly new movie about the infamous, young queen of France. Marie was a native Austrian, brought to France to marry the prince. Both Marie and her future husband were little more than children when they married, as they were both young teenagers. Of course it …
50 First Dates
If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …
The AmityVille Horror (2005)
I think The AmityVille Horror remake that was done in 2005 was pretty good. I mean most of the movie was just great and it scared the hell out of me. Now I think the best thing about the movie is that it shows you a lot of things that …
Wrath of the Titans (Movie)
I have been interested in the Greek myths since I was a child so was excited to see this movie, especially as the trailers looked great. Even though they now looked dated I have always loved the classic movie adaptations of these stories with effects by Ray Harryhausen, so …
Wagon Wheels West
From 1943, Wagon Wheels West is a black and white short. Shorts are anywhere from ten minutes to a half hour. This one is about 18 minutes roughly. Back in the day, going to the movies meant seeing several of these along with the main feature. …
The Object of My Affection
I don’t know what it is about Jennifer Aniston movies but they always seem to be extremely depressing; even when they are billed as comedies.
The movie “The Object of My Affection” probably was meant to be a drama. If it wasn’t, then they really screwed up if they thought …
My Best Friend’s Wedding - Movie
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a romantic comedy about a free spirited woman who realizes that she is in love with her best friend on the day he tells her he is about to marry another woman. This is a must see chick …
Mall Cop movie
If you like funny movies, I suggest seeing Mall Cop. The story line is cute and there are great actors in it. Kevin James did a wonderful job on this film.
Paul Blart is a mall cop who is single and lives with his mother and daughter. …
Man of Steel, movie
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: Superman is lame. There, I said it, and now I’ll probably have to run and hide inside some bunker until the geek rage dies. And it’s strange, because I’m also a geek. A geek that loves comics and computer games, …
Twister (movie)
Twister is a movie that follows a group of tornado chasers who are trying to get their project “Dorothy” successfully into the path of a tornado in hopes of trying to get faster warning times for residents.
The movie begins with a young Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) who is …
Iron Man (2008 Film)
The 2008 movie, “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a movie that I have seen on the TV but flipped passed the channel because I assumed it would be like every other super hero movie. Also, because it didn’t look like it would …
Bratz
When we rented the movie Bratz, we figured it would be something our daughter would enjoy since she collects the toys. Turns out, she didn’t even watch five minutes of this live-action film and my wife and I were left with the feeling we’ve seen it before.
The movie focuses …
Faeries movie
I watched the movie “Faeries” a very long time ago in about the year 2001 when I had just gotten cable television. I think the first time I saw the movie too was one Saturday on the cable television channel SciFi. I thought it was different from many …

Netflix
Renting movies used to be such a hassle. You had to go to the store, hope they had what you were looking for, pay like 5 bucks a movie, and then get fees for being late or not rewinding the tape (there’s an antiquated reference if ever there …
Kazzam (Movie 1996)
A failed attempt by Shaquille O’Neal to perform as an actor. The only thing Shaquille O’Neal should be doing is working on his basketball game, leave the acting to the professionals. It seems everybody wants a piece of Hollywood. Now, why the feltthe need to cast Shaq as a …

Notorious movie
Notorious is a film made about the life and death of the New York rapper Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G.

Deja Vu (movie)
When I read the description of Denzel Washington’s movie, Dejavu, I thought it sounded interesting. And, after watching it, I have to say it was even better than expected.

The Little Mermaid
My daughter has dozens of original Disney films in our library for her to watch. One of my favorites of these has to be the classic movie “The Little Mermaid.”
Now, I’ve read the original story (and several other versions) and the movie does clean things up a little bit. …
Movie: Karate Kid
Synopsis: A teenager from New Jersey gets trained in karate after moving to California and being bullied.
What I liked about this movie: I know the film was recently re-made (and I haven’t seen the remake yet) but I don’t think anyone is better than Pat Morita when it comes …

Some time ago I found a wonderful website called Swapadvd. This is a place where you can exchange unwanted DVDs with other members for DVDs you do want. Since I love watching DVDs, this was the perfect website for me. Best of all, it really works and I have …
Wedding Crashers (2005 Movie)
This is one of those cute, quirky movies where you know there will be a couple of cheap laughs and a sappy, happy ending. It didn’t disappoint me. I actually found that it was better than I expected it to be - the characters were a bit more real …
Death Race movie
I just watched this movie (Death Race) an hour ago. Before I watch this movie, I totally have no idea what are the plot and the main actor. It starts with cars racing, not nice sport cars but metal, modified cars with many functions which one car keeps shooting …

I decided to give Ridgmar …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …
Movie Bruce Almighty
Bruce Almighty with Jim Carey, Jennifer Anniston, and Morgan Freeman.
Since the concept of this movie appears to be original, I found it highly interesting regardless of the cast of star actors. What makes this a real winner is Jim Carey, who is at his …
Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar (movie) August, 2006
The name of the movie Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar sounds funny and many of us might presume it is a comic movie but well it isn’t. It is a very stupid melodramatic movie with horrible emotional ups and downs as stated in the film. I just cannot understand …

Matrix the movie

The first part is full of the very memorable scenes like that one with …
“Balls of Fury” (2007 Film)
The 2007 film, “Balls of Fury” film that was supposed to be a comedy proved to be anything but. I normally enjoy comic films that are like this one, though this film was not very funny to me. Something about this film did not really catch my funny bone …

E.T. movie
E.T. is the well-known film about an alien from outer space coming to the earth and becoming a friend to a couple of children in America. Steven Spielberg started to loose his touch from the 1970s with this film in my opinion and it’s clear he only ever made …
A face to die for
You know, sometimes the best movies out there are those that are made for television. Proof of that can be found in the 1996 made-for-TV movie “A Face to Die For.”
