Michael Clayton
We went to see the new George Clooney movie last night, Michael Clayton, and I really enjoy Clooney as an actor, but in my opinion, this movie did not bring out his best acting ability. The theme of the movie reminded me of the movie Erin Brockovitch, where the …
Megafault movie
In honor of the late Brittany Murphy, my wife and I took the time to watch some of her movies that were available through Netflix Instant Watch; mostly because I didn’t want to bother sending for DVDs and waiting for them through the mail.

Man of Tai Chi (2013) - Movie

Mr H is late Movie
A dead body is supposed to be in church for the remembrance service, but the undertakers are running out of time and needs to take some shortcuts to make it. This is a comedy in the same fashion as a Buster Keaton film, although not close to the same …
Wall-E
When the movie Wall-E first came out, i figured it was going to be just like any other over-hyped animated movie. So, I didn’t bother watching it until very recently. As it turns out, the movie is actually one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
The film, which is …
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …
Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …
Movie City of Angels
City of Angels is a movie that stars Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. In this movie Nicholas is an Angel who retrieves souls as they are on their way to heaven. The movie is eerie in the premises that Angels are among us all the time, they smooth …
Movie-Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I had heard that this was a great movie, so I settled in to watch it with my boyfriend. This movie is incredibly slow. For the first like hour and a half, hardly anything happens, and Mr and Mrs Smith barely talk to each other. After an hour and …
Shaid Afridi
When I saw him first , he was only 15, and already over 6 foot tall. In his second ODI, he broke the world record of hitting the fastest century ever, and his record still stands firmly. Afridi, since then has been know for his hard hitting and aggressive …

Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
Two Weeks Notice
It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …
Bridge of Spies (2015 Film)
I have been so attached with Oscar-bait films ever since I had that cinematic experience with Alfonso Cuaron’s 2013 space tale “Gravity”. It was beyond words, beyond everything I have ever felt before, and to truly witness it in glorious 3D screen was groundbreaking. It was then that I realized …

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 …

Teeth Movie
Teeth is this incredibly odd little movie that is partly a horror movie and part something I don’t know. I watched it, expecting it to be a straight horror movie with a little humor thrown in. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I couldn’t tell you …

Passenger 57
Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.

Leatherheads
“Leatherheads” represent one of the first attemps for the actor George Clooney to be involved in a movie, not just as an actor, but also as a director. I say that after seeing Clooney being involved in a lot of dramatic movies, “Leatherheads” comes across as a surprise since …

A Walk in The Clouds
