I was a bit disappointed with this movie. I would like to commend Halle Berry for a job well done but the same does not go to the movie as a finished product. I don’t want to call anyone stupid among those who made this film …

“The Skeleton Key” was the first movie that was not a romance comedy which I had the pleasure of seeing Kate Hudson in. I hate romance comedies, and so seeing her in another movie which was not a romance comedy, especially a horror movie, was very refreshing to me. …

Even though it was considered as a popular award winning movie I had never gotten a chance to finish watching “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Nearly eight years after it was released in 2008, I finally got took the chance to finish watching it. While I had heard …

When compiling a list of great martial arts movie stars several names are almost always expected to top that list, Bruce Lee is always present, as is Jackie Chan, and the same can likely be said for Jet Li. But, one name that is almost always painfully overlooked is …

Vacancy is one of those movies that probably shouldn’t work, but somehow it does. The story picks up with a couple driving home from a party thrown by the woman’s family. They haven’t yet told anyone that they’re getting a divorce because they can’t deal with the son they …

Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …

I got bored last night and once again decided to watch a movie that had been on our DVR for a while. I ended up settling for the film Wes Craven Presents: They.
My wife told me she watched that movie once and it scared her to the point she …

Bear with me, because I have to type these 3 names because they are amazing. I watched Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell) the other day and it was super hilarious. There can never be a movie close to it, except for movies starring …

None of the better adaptions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a human being who chooses the way of crime because of his tough childhood. Bille August directed the film and as with all of his work outside Denmark, there is only english speaking actors along, this time Liam …

There are some movie that just don’t interest me either because of what I’ve seen in the trailer and the reviews I’ve read about them make them seem ridiculous or something just doesn’t rub me right about them. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was one of those movies. When it …

“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …

I’ll admit it here only: this movie made me cry. This is not easy for a macho dude like me to admit! Nevertheless, I must say that I was moved by this is story.
Mel Gibson scores a touchdown in this film. It is the story …

Ugh. Poor John Carpenter. Has the legendary director of HALLOWEEN and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK really hit rock bottom?

This episode was really good, it gave Miharu character development. It was also a well written. …

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 …

I went to see this film because it looked interesting, I thought it was interesting they would take shots at W eaven before his term had ended. The movie chronicles George W Bush’s life, growing up and eventually becoming president, it is one of those movies where you aren’t …

I rented and watched the sisterhoods of traveling pants 2 today. I’ve never seen the first one but I understood most of it. It was kind of boring at parts, and I felt like something was missing in it. It is a teen movie so maybe that is why …

I like Adam Sander movies for the very reason that it’s fun to watch and you’re sure to be entertained. There are some really popular Sandler movies like Click, which is one of my favorite, Anger Management, The Longest Yard and many more. But Spanglish seemed not to be …

As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …

Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …

OK, maybe it’s because I’m not a huge Nick Nolte fan but I just can’t seem to get the movie Mulholland Falls. When it first came out, it looked entertaining. I like thrillers that make me think and thought this film would fit that category. And, having some A-list …

I have to say that I absolutely love the movie Baby Mama. It was hilarious! It practically had me and my friends tolling on the floor. These characters could actually make you believe that they are who they were pretending to be. There was not a dull moment. Almost …

Released in December 2008 in time for the Christmas season, The Dark Knight has broken DVD sales charts, just as the film itself broke box office records upon its theatrical release.
I recently purchased the 2 disc special edition, which features the theatrical release and commentary on disc 1 …

“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …

We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …

It’s quite sad that Tom Cruise ain’t acting in movies as gorgeously good as Jerry Maguire anymore. I caught this movie when it was first released on theaters and then later caught it on again on DVD. I was not bored at all watching it.
The storyline …

This 1939 film called Love Affair is considered a classic romantic piece, and it’s beloved by a lot of people, but I’m not really one of them. I just have so many moralistic problems with the piece in various forms. Part of it is the lack of …

Since it’s looking like a strong contender for Best Picture at the next Oscars, and because it was the only movie I’ve actually been even moderately excited about seeing in a long time, here’s my review of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” a film based on a book chronicling …

Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …

This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …

Erin Brockovich (2000)

I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …

Glorifying the American Girl from 1929 purports to be under the direct supervision of the legendary Florenz Ziegfeld. There were lots of showgirls in this motion picture to satisfy that Rockette feeling, too. Even today, the line of girls doing those high leg kicks are incredibly popular.
I …

Untraceable is a thriller movie. My first question when I watched was, “Why Diane Lane”? But after watching, I think she really fit this role. She plays an FBI officer and imagine having to crack an internet crime..? The killer is sicker than sick and this …

Back with a blast is the third and final installment of the Mighty Ducks trilogy. It is an amazing family movie. I liked it just as much as the other Mighty Ducks movies. The Mighty Ducks team have been invited to play high school hockey on scholarship at Eden …

In the early parts of this movie, I found it hard to stay tuned as the dialog was dull and boring and there was not much to hold on to that would keep me interested in watching this movie, but I waited patiently with hopes that it would pick …

Although most of the setting of this movie takes place on a plane it was still interesting to watch. I enjoyed watching the whole movie. It’s about a stranger who comes up to this lady and threatens her about her father and wants her to kill someone. Basically if …

Cop Out is a movie which falls flat and a passable fare which trenches into deep falls scene by scene. When Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan share the screen for a police comedy, the expectations were to see a rollicking comedy and gags of laugh. But unfortunately Cop Out …

Ocean’s Thirteen with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino.
This is an elaborate movie based on the revenge concept. What made it so special is the huge star studded cast of superstar actors. …

Where the Wild Things Are was a truly disappointing movie. It was rambling and didn’t seem to have any direction.
I think the problem is that it’s an adaptation of a picture book. It would have worked better as possibly a thirty minute animated film. …

I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …
