Movies Reviews
10,000 B.C.
I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …
Drive 2011 film
Before seeing this movie in the theater, I’d never heard of Nicolas Winding Refn. The film surprised me, and pleasantly so.
Keep in mind that when I say pleasantly, I mean brutally. To some these words may be interchangeable. I’d advise you to avoid such individuals. “Drive” was one of …

This is an Indian movie in Hindi. It stars Saif Ali Khan, Raveena Tandon, and Sunny Deol. It is about a woman who marries after the tragic loss of her first husband but does not tell her second about the first. Then all the misunderstandings and mysteries begin.

Grumpy Old Men movie
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are two of Hollywood’s finest. They are great performers who gave the world decades of wonderful performances. One of those performances was in the legendary The Odd Couple. After that, they often worked together, and each movie was a gem. This …
Parker (2013 movie)
I just got around to watching Parker after waiting around for quite a while since its announcement. Anyways, I’m a big fan of Jason Statham films and so this one is no exception and is a must watch for me. However, after watching it, I find that this really …
Harold and kumar go to white castle
One day I watched this movie because I was really bored and it was on television. It wasn’t that good at all. I think I might have laughed once or twice. Most of the time I like movies about this or that are like this. This movie though made …
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 …
Walking with Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs
Walking with monsters: before the dinosaurs, is a fascinating documentary. It is divided into three sections, each one covering a different time period. Each half-hour documentary showcases creatures that lived many years before the dinosaurs evolved. The show was fascinating, absolutely riveting. I like it better than …
Pete’s Dragon
Disney was the pioneer of mixing live action with animation, way back when he produced Alice In Cartoonland back in the 1920s. This art form would be tried many times by many animators throughout cinema’s history, culminating in 1988s �Who Framed Roger Rabbit?� But between Alice and Roger rode …
Camp Rock by Jonas Brothers
Teenage ladies, brace yourself for if you are a big fan of Jonas Brothers, then watching Camp Rock by Jonas Brothers on DVD would be very worth it. If you have Disney channel, you might have come across this movie. It is something like a nice movie about …
Clambake movie
From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …
Sphere (Movie)
Sphere is a science-fiction thriller which was released in 1997, starring Sharon Stone, Dustin Hoffman and Samuel L Jackson. I remember seeing things about it when it came out and had a rough idea what it was about, but never actually watched it till now. The strong cast are …

D-x wrestling faction
D-Generation X was a professional wrestling faction bought in by the World Wrestling Federation to rival the New World Order which was running rampant on the WWF’s Rival, World Championship Wrestling.
One thing that made the original D-X so unique and popular was their lack of respect for anything …
The Diamond Tooth
I am reviewing the Case of the Diamond Tooth, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
The Cobbler, Movie
The Cobbler is a very different kind of movie to the ones normally associated with its star, Adam Sandler. He’s had movies, such as Reign Over Me, that have really demonstrated his ability to tackle serious subject matter and deliver moving performances. Whilst I am a fan of some of …
Spiderman:The Movie
I watched Spiderman a while back and loved it. Since then, I have also seen Spiderman 2 and 3. When I took out the old film to watch, I was a little surprised at how phony the graphics looked. I had thought that they were so realistic when I …
Nature vs. Nurture
Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …
Once Bitten (1985)
This is yet another great vampire movie that has more comedic appeal than that of the horror kind. Starring a very young Jim Carrey, he is the object of desire by a female vampire. She targets him and is in the process of converting him mortal flesh into that …
The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines
I liked the first Librarian movie “Quest for the Spear” so I figured I would give the sequel “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” a try.
It turned out to be an OK movie but it wasn’t as good as the original.
You have the same guy playing the Librarian. Only this …
The Lone Ranger (movie)
I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Lone Ranger” some time earlier on this year, but there was something about it that did not make me interested in seeing the movie, despite the fact that the actor Johnny Depp was playing a main character. I figured out …
The Adventures of Milo and Otis
The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
Chronicling the adventure of a cat and dog that are best friends but get separated from each other, the film is an hour of …
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, …
Magic Mike XXL (2015) movie
Magic mike XXL is a drama comedy movie directed by Gregory Jacobs.As you may know,its the sequel of the movie Magic Mike released in 2012.Undoubtedly,it is again about group of male strippers who want to put one last show.This movie is for a very limited audience. You may think this …
Vantage Point
This movie is about an assassination attempt to the president of the United States. It is not a typical movie I can say. I think the plot was easy but I did enjoy watching it. It is a typical conspiracy theory movie but with a twist. I really thought …
Road Show movie
Road Show was a 1941 movie musical that starred Adolphe Menjou, who was one of the mainstays in motion pictures in this era. He was just everywhere. In this picture, he portrays Colonel Carleton Carroway.
The movie also starred Carole Landis as, get this, Penguin Moore. She …
Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …
The Puppet Masters
The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …
17 Again (2009) film
I have just came back from the theater having watched this film, I must let you know , all my friends and I laughed our lungs out through out the length of the movie, surely what we did might have disturbed those sitting around us. Well, I was really …
Space Camp
If you read the description on the back of the box, the movie Space Camp probably will sound like something so far fetched it isn’t worth watching. But, resist that desire to put it back on the shelf and rent it anyway.
Of all the 80s science fiction films to …
Spoorloos movie
This is a film in which the plot has to remain a secret to have any power to it. All I can say is that the film tells the story of a dutch couple on a vacation together. That’s how the film begins anyway, then there’s a twist and …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …

Van Helsing
Van Helsing was a movie that flopped at the box office for all the wrong reasons. A monster movie that combined the classical stories of Doctor Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Count Dracula, and Van Helsing, using plenty of CGI and nonstop action. Unfortunately, in 2004 CGI was still new and …
Iron Giant children’s movie
Hogarth, a small boy, meets a huge, 100-foot robot from the outer space who had crashed in the woods nearby. The robot eats metal, and Hogarth first sees him when he comes to his house searching for “food” and tries to have a bite off the TV antenna. Hogarth …
The Man Who Predicted 9-11 movie
The movie is kind of slow in the beginning, but that is no reason not to follow through and watch the rest of it. The reasons behind the stories about the main character’s life and background did not become clear until later on in the movie. I found these …
Movie Cloverfield (2008)
As many others, my first experience with Cloverfield was during the opening set of previews for last year’s summer blockbuster Transformers. The movie was drenched in the bloody veins of terror, depicting some… thing laying waste to New York like with all its ability. Shrieks of people pierced the …
Truman Show
I wanted to write about a movie called The Truman Show. It was a really good movie. It’s about a guy who thinks he’s a regular person in the world, but he starts noticing things are the same every day. The people are the same, the cars are the …
Stiff Odds movie
How I became familiar with the movie called “Stiff Odds” was that I saw it in one of my friend’s dvd collection, and after he insisted that despite the weird cover it was actually a pretty good movie, that he was positive I would enjoy, I decided to borrow …
Happy Feet (2006)
This movie is absolutely adorable. I can watch it several times without getting bored. The colors are wonderful, the artists and artistic directors of this movie did an amazing job putting everything together and making everything believable. What’s amazing is the entire movie was created on computers in Australia(little …
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens is the rising young star of Disney. Thanks to High School Musical, she is now a nation wide start. She can act, sing, and dance. That’s a triple threat for you. Recently, I’ve noticed she has gotten more womanly. She has more curves now compared to the …
Movie Shutter (2008)
I watched only half of the portion on the Thai horror version of Shutter and didn’t complete it because I got a bit bored. But the 2008 version of Shutter really got me out of my mind scared. I decided to give watching it a shot although I …
Raising Waylon movie
I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …
40 days and 40 nights
This movie was entertaining but that is about it. If you are bored one night and enjoy movies like this then I would recommend it. This movie isn’t for everyone though. Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon play in it. Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan who decides to vow to …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie (2010)
I had always liked Nicolas Cage, in fact, he has always been my #1 favorite actor of all times and he still is right now, but when I saw the trailer for this movie I had let out a scoff and a giggle, I never thought he would go …
Augusta, Gone
This used to be one of my favorite lifetime movies that they played. I watched it a couple years ago. I really enjoyed watching it though, it kept me entertained and interested. Now that I have watched more lifetime movies it’s not one of my favorites anymore but I …
Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
One of the first movies I loaded on my Netflix player when I bought it was the film Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. I didn’t think I would like it but it sounded like it would be different and I figured it would eventually be worth a try.
We ended up …
