The Five was a movie I happened to find while looking through adventure and fantasy films to order from Netflix. I had never heard of the actors or director but it sounded interesting so I gave it a try. The intro and credits portion was extremely long …

One of the most anticipated DVD releases, at least in my mind, was Up In The Air, the George Clooney movie which was nominated for several Academy Awards at the recent Oscar ceremonies. I like George Clooney movies, although I hesitate to say that I love all of his …

Those who have become familiar with the acting (and now directing) style of Asia Argento will more than likely love this film. The daughter of Italian film director Dario Argento is known for her stint in the American action cheese puff 2002 film “XXX” (starring Vin Diesel.) …

Synopsis: A newly hired principal must improve the performance of his high school in time for the basic skills exam or the district will lose control of the school to the state.
What I liked about this movie: This film, which is based on real events, is one of those …

Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …

To be honest I was quite skeptical towards the fifth film in the X-Men series. I found it hard to see James Mcavoy as a young Charles Xavier and the absence of Wolverine also did not help much. What little I saw of the trailer , however , suggested …

Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? from 1978 is a movie that I really didn’t expect to tolerate, let alone enjoy. I say only because when it started, I could tell that it was British and the opening bit wasn’t my style. I groaned in …

I am reviewing The Crooked Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode finds Sherlock Holmes involved with a case at Watson’s request. It involved the military, a group of people Holmes would …

My absolute second favorite Disney film ever, and one of my all-time films of any kind, is the somewhat unknown, “The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band.” With Buddy Ebsen, Janet Blair, and Walter Brennan as the lead performers, the film also reunited John Davidson and Lesley …

I have always been a fan of the television show Mr. Bean. I enjoyed the first Mr.Bean movie and I must say Mr. Bean’s Holiday is far better and funnier than the first one! Mr. Bean is played by the British actor, Rowan Atkinson. His adventure began when Mr. …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …

The Children of the Huang Shi, a true story about a group of Chinese children left with no families to care for them because of the Second World War event. They faced a drastic change when a British journalist was brought to them; they resisted, made fun of him, …

“War of the Roses,” some fun for the tears, the other leads to despair, and still others disgusted by the switch. Anyway, the film is a masterwork of satire of people who are divorced who have to gain your are full of ideas to hinder their lives.
Starring Kathleen Turner …

I cannot say that I have always been a huge Billy Bob Thorton or Seann William Scott fan, but I did like Bad Santa and my husband enjoyed American Pie so we decided that we would rent this particular movie to watch one night after the kids went to …

I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …

What Women Want, directed by Nancy Meyers is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content and language. The original release date was December 15, 2000 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Fantasy/Romance and stars Mel Gibson as Nick Marshall, …

This is one of those splendid BBC adaptations that is almost as good as the original novel. The novel in this case is a work by Anthony Trollope, who is one of my favorite novelists, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed in this movie.
The story is about a wealthy young …

The A-Team is a fun, action-packed remake of the TV series that I think will be of interest to a lot more people than it is given credit for.
I thought that the action scenes were very good and quite unique; given the circumstances they often find themselves in they …

New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …

In Her Shoes is one movie every sibling should see (especially sisters). I for one saw it with my sister. But unlike the characters in the movie, my sister and I have a close relationship. Probably because we are so similar in alot of ways, unlike the sisters in …

I could watch this movie anytime, any day. I thought it was a brilliant movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies. It really did keep me very entertained and interested in the movie. Possibly the most entertained in a movie ever. Dennis Quad, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, all …

Hard Cash with Christian Slater, Val Kilmer, Daryl Hannah, Verne Troyer, and Sara Downing.
Whoever said that Christian Slater can be the lead role in any movie? He is so one dimensional that few movies stand a chance of surviving his subpar performances. Val Kilmer …

I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist, starring Jason Miller. Everyone knows what this movie is about, or regarding, so I’ll try to be brief on the summary. Jason Miller’s character, Damien Karras, is a priest who’s lost his faith. He has more interest in looking …

I love classic old Doctor Who stories. I was born in 1974, the year that Tom Baker took over from Jon Pertwee, so have been really keen on finding out about earlier adventures, and these DVD boxed sets are great for that. This one contains 3 stories in total, …

I thought that the movie “The Golden Compass” had a wealth of potential. When I saw it advertising to be released in theatres, I thought it would have been something like “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”, however, when I watched it I realized …

I am really in tears watching this movie. The tears meant that the movie works perfectly well for me. This movie is something that youngsters will not fancy, since it features the older generations. But, it tells me that one day I am going to be …

I have watched the movie ‘Casino Royale’. This is a very interesting and exciting movie. This is a James Bond movie. In this movie, Daniel Craig acts as James Bond. The film is full of action and adventure. There are many chasing scenes. In the beginning itself, Bond is …

If everyone ever walks up to you on the street and offers you a movie about group sex that stars Macaulay Culkin, be nice, say no thank you and walk away quickly.
The reason I say this is, the movie likely being offered to you is the film Sex and …

I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …

The best way to eve try and explain this movie is to compare it with Tarzan and then give it an over all switch in the level of deepness in the character, toss in a heap of comedy and you have yourself a movie that has been remade into …

I went and seen the Hangover movie today, with a bunch of friends it suppose to be hilarious. I went with an open mind although it is suppose to be a guy’s type of movie, a guy’s worst case scenario in my opinion, but my friends were really interested …

First off, I’m going to say although I don’t absolutely love the found footage genre, I absolutely without a doubt loved Chronicle. Of course I had my problems with it but at the end of the day it was a really good movie. My favorite thing about this film …

What I liked about …

The first time I saw this movie, I was just flipping through the channels and found this strange little movie on HBO. I sat and watched the whole movie, just on a whim. It turned out to be a cute little movie. A sad but uplifting story of a …

How to Train Your Dragon is an aniated movie produced by Dreamworks Animation. It is a mixture of Comedy, Action and Fantasy all in one film. The story revolves around Hiccup, a young Viking on the Island of Berk, who dreams of fitting in in his town as a …

I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …

I knew The Roommate wasn’t going to be a spectacular film or even an original horror from the trailer, but the trailers made it look like a fun horror movie to go see with friends. Although the dialogue is terrible and the movie is extremely predictable if you’ve ever …

When I was still in my earlier years of high school, there were quite a number of teenage romance movies which were released in theatres. One of these movies was a movie called “She’s All That” which starred the actors Freddie Prince Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook. Unlike many …

‘Blood Diamond’ is a movie directed by Edward Zwick. Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsoun are the main actors. They have performed well in the movie. Diamonds are a status of wealth, but if you watch this movie, you will come to know that in the places where diamonds are …

Toy Story 3 is Pixar Studios latest animated feature. Is the third installment of the Toy Story series. This series chronicles the secret life of toys owned by a young boy named Andy. The same toys are featured in each movie. The group is …

I’m not quite sure just how many seasons this show was on but surely too many. For me it’s really boring to follow what is happening to the same group of six people for so many years. One thing is for sure, initially, it was quite a good show …

I would have to say that Cabin Fever is one of my most favorite horror movies. You might think that it is crazy that I say that, but i have a reason for saying that.
the theme of the movie is a flesh eating disease that is responsible …

The Terminal with Tom Hanks.
This is without a doubt one of Tom Hanks best movies. Though the storyline is unique and interesting, its success rests solely on this fine actor’s shoulders.
The story is simple. It is neither dramatic nor does …

Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …

I watched this movie about an year ago and fall in love with it. It’s basically a story about two women, one Amanda (Cameron Diaz) a successful american and Iris( Kate Winslet) a british chick. Both have failed in finding the right men and accidently they meet and exchange …

I must admit I don’t like watching Ryan Reynolds movies. For some reason, he is obsessed with the words ‘fuck’ and ’sex’, however he managed to convince me in this comedy movie with the name “Just Friends”. I like this movie because Reynolds finally managed to involve himself in …

One of the few adequate performances by Ashton Kutcher (who normally works a tired cliché part). Here he does an acceptable job (but not a great one) of portraying the main character who is able to move back in time and change the future. The movie is …
