Bewitched (2005 movie)
The single most dullest movie i’ve seen this year…It’s a complete flop. Some TV series are better off not being made into movies, and the cast was all wrong, so, so wrong. Not only is this film a bore but it’s also annoying (what’s with the blondes jumping up …

Evan Almighty
This is an amazingly respectful movie on a spiritual theme - respectful to God and faith. The title clearly hints on Bruce Almighty that had come out in 2003, but it is not a sequel; just a similar story. The similarity is made even closer with the same actor, …
Movie: Stripes
Synopsis: Two men, who are fed up with their jobs and their lives, decide to enlist in the army. The only problem is, they really don’t seem to fit in there either.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen this film dozens of times and it never gets …

Movie: Airplane II
I had a longer lunch yesterday than usual and ended up being able to watch the movie Airplane II: The Sequel.
It had been a while since I saw the movie so it was almost as though I was seeing it for the first time. And, after seeing it, I …

Enchanted the Movie
Enchanted was a totally Cinderella story, until the end. It was a good modern day fairy tale, and I ended up really liking it a lot. I thought that it would be a little fake at first, but still wanted to watch it. It turned out really great, and …

Rockstar
I took a very long time to watch the movie “Rockstar” since I always seemed to miss it whenever it would be broadcast on a television channel. In fact, I never even saw it being broadcast on a local television channel even once. However, two years ago was the …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
I expected, because it has Johnny Depp and was directed by Tim Burton, for Alice in Wonderland to be a good movie. I wasn’t disappointed. It was a good movie, and definitely worth watching. The acting was seamless, every character interesting and exaggerated in true Alice in Wonderland style. …

The Good Guy
Movie The Good Guy is a wasted effort. With some intelligent and logical plot creations this movie could have made more interesting and above all digestible for the audience. The story of the movie has intensity in its simple looking plot. It is all about relations and move is …
Planet Earth documentary
I watched the documentary special series called “Planet Earth”.
The shows were about the different geographical bodies of our planet and the animals which live in them.
I really liked the series. I thought each episode had something interesting to offer. Some of the still shots and photography was stunning.
There …
The Iron Lady movie
I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …
Maduranombarakkattu Movie
Kamal is the only one among the directors of Malayalam film industry who has always succeeded in working with different themes.He has proved it with his earlier hits like ‘Mazhayethum Munpe’,’Ulladakkam’,’Krishnagudiyil Oru Pranayakalathu’ etc, all of them having entirely different themes with a good number of excellent songs.His films …
Wild hogs
Whoever decided to cast a “buddy” movie with Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence & William H Macy as the co-starring friends was truely inspired. Sometimes when you have too much talent it can backfire, but these four pulled it off really well.
Scrubs John McGinley has a …

Mrs. Doubtfire is a movie about a father who is desperate to spend more time with his children. The father, played by Robin Williams and the mother, Sally Field, have a decent relationship but the mom is tired of the dad’s crazy ways and takes dad back to court. …
“She’s out of your league” Feature Film
I really enjoyed watching this film. It is the usual silly movie where a guy goes after a woman out of his league, there are many of them in hollywood at any time, but this one was a little different. For starters, the layers of humor that …
Marie and Bruce
Marie and Bruce is the most boring movie I have seen these days and I literally got a head ache after watching this movie. The film has nothing in it. The most important thing for a film is the story which is not there atleast a bit in this …
Failure to Launch
I must admit that I prefer the on screen couple, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson however the on screen couple presented in the romantic comedy “Failure to Launch” with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t bad at all. These two actors managed to present a romantic comedy which is …
“Ramona and Beezus” (2010 Film)
If anyone is familiar with the “Ramona Quimby” novels by Beverly Cleary and feared that the film relating to the novels might not do the book justice, then you have nothing to worry about. Yes, this 2010 film called “Ramona and Beezus” is based from the books, but no …

Movie Underworld

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
In what could be considered by parents a nightmare of a movie, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle has been, and continues to be one of the most popular comedy movies amongst teens and 20 somethings.
In this film, roommates Harold struggles daily for just one lucky break when …
The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
Envy (movie)
“Envy” was one of those movies that I discovered bombed at the box office when it was released, but when I watched it, I couldn’t understand why. I’ve seen infinitely worse comedies and movies with much better ratings even though I thought that this one had a better plot …
High Fidelity
“High Fidelity” is definitely the most renowed John Cusack’s movie. I must admit that he did a great job in this movie for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe. In an interview, Cusack admitted that this movie is also one of his favourites too.
What makes “High Fidelity” …

Wilde movie
A film about the controversial english author and poet Oscar Wilde who had to flee his home country when he openly declared himself as a homosexual. Stephen Fry is absolutely perfect as the exceedingly clever Wilde, and the rest of the cast is also impressive, especially Jude Law. One …
Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …
A Goofy Movie
I am reviewing the Disney movie, A Goofy Movie. Goofy has a son named Max, a teenager who is in love with a girl named Roxanne. Max is growing farther and farther apart from his father, who treats him like a little boy. When Max gets into trouble …
ROPE-Alfred Hitchcock
Over-hyped, just like some of the Godard or Spielberg movies, this film too is rather carried off by the star-value of the director than the content itself. The very concept that the director has tried to work in the film (it was an experimental venture by his …
Vice, Movie
Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.
A rather weak …
Widow’s Peak (movie)
I enjoyed this movie very much, not just because it stars the luscious Natasha Richardson, but because the dynamic between Richardson’s character and the character played by Mia Farrow is a delightful tongue-in-cheek account of Anglo-Irish relations that appeals to both my English and Irish ancestors. Their rivalry …
The Transporter Refueled (2015) movie
What a disappointment! Over the weekend hubby and I decided to binge watch some movies that were on our “to see” list. One of these movies was The Transporter Refueled movie, the newest of the Transporter series. We’ve seen all of the other Transporter movies and we loved each one …
We Are Marshall
I held off watching the movie We Are Marshall until I could see it for free on a movie channel. The reason for this is I expected it to be yet another sports movie filled with plenty of clichés and not much else.
I was right on the first part. …
Movie Alex and Emma
“Alex & Emma” is simply a great romantic movie with comic moments in it. I personally liked a lot the actress, Kate Hudson because she interprets 5 different roles in it. I personally had a great laugh when she interpreted the role of maid and a child minder in …
Sgt. Bilko
When Steve Martin re-did the Pink Panther movie, I thought his performance was actually better than the original. But, that wasn’t the only movie I can say that about.
When I was younger, I remember watching re-runs of the Phil Silvers Show and his character Sgt. Bilko. In the movie …
Notorious (Movie)
There are four reasons I love Notorious. First, because it’s an Alfred Hitchcock film. I think he was the best classic movie director. The next three reasons are the stars of the movie, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. Rains was the supporting actor, …
Wrong Turn 2
Wrong Turn 2 opens on American Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell driving in West Virginia as she prepares for her role on yet another reality show. She never makes it there because she’s attacked by a couple of rednecks who brutally kill her in the middle of the road. The …
Movie : Clash of the Titans
I recently heard about the new Clash of the Titans movie that is supposed to be coming out at theaters soon. I’m not big on movie re-makes. But, seeing the previews did make me want to see the original 1981 version again so I was glad when I could …
