Dark Mountain movie
1944’s Dark Mountain is a really nice B-motion picture. Certainly, there’s nothing stellar in this less than one hour movie, but the story is entertaining, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while watching it.
Robert Lowery starred as a forest ranger named Don Bradley. I have no idea who …
Love Comes Softly
‘Love Comes Softly’ is the first of a series of movies based on books by Janette Oke, a popular Christian author. Janette Oke writes romance, and romance is considered to be a ‘women’s genre’. However, I wouldn’t call this movie a ‘women’s movie.’ I watched it together with my …

The Perfect Stranger Movie
This movie has a very low rating on imdb.com but I say so otherwise and I think this is a great suspense and thriller movie. It had me thinking until the very end and there’s a twisted ending that’s nice too and although I had always been thinking that …
James & the Giant Peach
OK, I finally got a chance to watch the movie James & the Giant Peach. Wow, what a dull piece of garbage.
Personally, if I would have been the star of this film, it would have been called something like Steve & the Giant Can of Raid. I’m sorry, but …

The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …

The 400 Blows (1959 Classic Film)
I have recently been introduced in world cinema with this Francois Truffaut film, and to my surprise, I seriously love this masterful class of work. At first, it seems like just a typical film that I keep on ignoring every time my television plays some black and white film, …
John Tucker Must Die
“John Tucker Must Die” is a cute romantic comedy targeting teenagers. The interesting aspect of this movie is that it includes a lot of Hollywood rising stars such as Brittany Snow, Jesse Metcalfe, Penn Badgley, Sophia Bush, Ashanti and Arielle Kebbel. These actors are mostly know for their involvement …
Ant-Man, 2015 Action, Science Fiction Movie
Much the same as the majority of the Marvel lovers, I didn’t care for the idea of Ant man when it was declared by Marvel. I thought the idea was very silly and faltering on the grounds and I thought “In what manner becoming littler be heroic?” particularly in correlation …
Flicka
I am reviewing the movie, Flicka, which was released last year. It is the story about a girl and her horse, but also about the relationship between father and daughter. Alison Lohman plays Katy McLaughlin, whose desire has always been to work on her family’s ranch. …
The city in the movies of 3 directors
The 3 Directors:
Bimal Roy - Kabuliwala

Among the three directors Bimal Roy has most positive attitude (in Kabuliwala), where he shows the city like the other two, as some a place where you can get employment, but he is more positive about …

Teryl Rothery plays …
DVD Doctor Who —“ Beneath the Surface

I am a huge Chronicles of Narnia fan and have read all of the books in the series. So when I heard that a movie was coming out, and that Disney was doing it, I was way excited and had high hopes and expectations. Disney did not let me …
Marley & Me (2008)
This movie starts off simple enough with a newly married couple finding their way in the world, firstly by moving to a newer, warmer city, finding jobs and then finding a place to call home. Everything was going well, that was until talks of a baby came up and …
The Lake House movie
The Lake House is a romantic movie with enough drama to keep you engaged throughout the movie. This Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred movie has a unique and a bit confusing plot and this is for me the USP of the movie. The protagonists of the movie live …
Film Valkyrie
Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …
Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors

George of the Jungle (1997)
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 …
White House Down (movie)
One of the most thrilling movies that I watched in the past couple of weeks was White House Down. At first, I ignored it mostly because I had read a lot of bad reviews from both movie critics and regular people. What’s worse is that it had a fairly …
The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
I finally got a chance to watch the final Star Wars Prequel, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. And, while I was impressed by the special effects and the fighting, I was seriously disappointed at the movies failure to carry over seamlessly into the original Trilogy.
Set roughly 20 years …
Kill Theory movie
A friend of mine had the DVD for Kill Theory, and I decided to kill time while I was at their house and watch it, even though even the title seemed very corny to me, and I’m usually very wary of a lot of horror movies that seem to …
The Pelican Brief thriller
I usually don’t like political thrillers, but I found the Pelican Brief to be a thought-invoking and fantastic film. It’s one I would watch over again.
Julia Roberts is better known for her romantic comedies but I think she’s actually better in dramas. She gives one of the best performances …
Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …
