I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.

Drew Peterson: Untouchable, movie

I read the book speak a little while before I watched the movie, and both were equally bad. The movie was a little more confusing, and the characters were even more fake that they were in the book ,but at the same time, it was all okay because I …
King Arthur
First off, I did not hate this movie. It was a somewhat entertaining movie with nice special effects, great battle sequences, and acting, when not overblown or stale, was watchable. What bothered me was at the beginning of the movie, we are promised with text on the …

Movie : 3000 Miles to Graceland

The Right Stuff movie
A classic film about the race between USA and the Soviet Union about who was developing quickest in space science. This is a Hollywood film and therefore seen through an american’s eyes, but I don’t think it shows only the good sides of america, it’s no propaganda.
The story focuses …

Cloverfield through advertising it brought up a lot of wonder of what the hell the film was about. Watching the film was quite hard, because of the use of one camera its hard to fit in cuts, they did a great job of this putting in cuts whenever falling …
Movie Inglourious Basterds
After the underwhelming Kill Bill Vol. 2 and the shockingly poor Deathproof I had begun to think that Quentin Tarantino had forgotten how to make great movies. Where was the revolutionary, wunderkind director who changed the face of modern cinema?
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction seemed to be but memories …
Pleasantville movie
‘Pleasantville’ It’s one of those marvellous old movies which are worth watching a couple of times. The idea behind the plot seems almost like a clichee two teenage siblings: calm and inhibited David and his neurotic sister Jennifer, are transferred by the weird godlike figure …
Halloween By: Rob Zombie
When Rob Zombie’s remake of the classic “Halloween” came out in August 2007, being a big fan of the original “Halloween” film by John Carpenter, I was really looking forward to seeing it. Thought it was an interesting spin on the story to show more of what Michael Myers …

Sunless movie
This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …
Movie The Aviator
The Aviator is an extremely long movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio. In the film he portrays Howard Hughes, and although I normally do not like super long movies, this one is kinda good. I will state a fact, Leonardo Dicarprio can not consider me a fan of his work. I don’t …

Speed Racer, action film
If there was one movie I wish I would have seen in IMAX, it would have been this movie. Speed Racer on Blu-Ray is probably one of the best looking high-def movies available and, much like Crank, should be a part of any Videophile’s collection. But, I’m getting ahead …
Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …
Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …

The Four Feathers movie
I kept getting this movie from the library and neglecting to watch it, because for some reason I thought that it looked boring. Then, when I finally got down to watch it, I could not leave the couch for anything and miss a few moments of that movie. It …
All About Steve
I enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, because they are generally lighthearted, feel-good romps which also teach a lesson, however cliché, about human nature and kindness. Although she has recently begun to choose roles a little more serious and substantial than her usual romantic comedies, I knew All About Steve would …
