Movie: “Stephen King’s It” (1990)
Having read the book multiple times, I was horribly disappointed with the two-part miniseries “It”, aired in 1990 on ABC. There was so much left out; I can’t believe Mr. King even allowed it to be produced.
The plot of the mini-series only loosely follows the plot of the original …
Leatherheads
“Leatherheads” represent one of the first attemps for the actor George Clooney to be involved in a movie, not just as an actor, but also as a director. I say that after seeing Clooney being involved in a lot of dramatic movies, “Leatherheads” comes across as a surprise since …
Montana Sky film

Baby Geniuses movie
I really love to watch this movie when I was still pregnant. I was amazed with how the baby were able to think very well although its a little fictional. I really love it since its very enjoyable seeing little babies talk to each other and how a little …
Premium Rush movie
“Premium Rush” is about bicycle messengers working in Manhattan. The messengers seem to have an embedded code of the area: They are seen rushing past stoplights; riding against the heavy New York traffic; hurling themselves and their transport over all types of barriers and seemingly not knowing …
Seven (1995)
Seven (1995) is a drama film from director David Fincher and is rated R by the MPAA for grisly afterviews of horrific and bizarre killings, and for strong language.
Seven is a film that follows a man named Somerset (Morgan Freeman), a retiring police detective, as he experiences his final …
Stomp The Yard Movie
My brother recommended that I watch this movie since I loved dancing, and upon watching it I was first bored as the steps were quite robotic and it was so “formal”, the setting was in a university and it was quite different like cheerdancing is different to cheerleading, it …
Killer Elite Movie
I went to see the Killer Elite movie with my friends. I was really looking forward to seeing it when I learned about the cast: Jason Statham, Robert De Niro and Clive Owen- all mega star actors that I love and respect. When you can a cast like that, …
High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …
Oliver Twist (2005 movie)
Oliver Twist is 2005 Crime and drama movie directed by Roman Polanski, which is based on a novel. I had read the novel a few years ago, and I truly loved it, and wanted to see the story in action, and played by real characters. The story of the …

I work in a hospital so more or less I am inclined to the joys and sadness of the hospital life. When I bought a DVD for Bucket List I wasn’t able to watch it right there and then but my brother who was able to see it said …
Muppet Treasure Island (movie)
This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …
The Prestige (movie)
The Prestige is one of the best and most entertaining movies I have seen in the year 2007. It was crafted so perfectly that I don’t think there would be a better movie about magic tricks. The Prestige was directed by the same guy who directed Batman Begins. He did …
Life or Something Like It
“Life or Something Like It” is definitly not one of the best Angelina Jolie’s movies. Infact she was nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie. Jolie is not great in this movie because, for one thing, she is wearing blond hair and looks like a …
Beauty Shop
I watched “Beauty Shop” last night. I thought it was hilarious! This PG-13 movie stars Queen Latifa, Kevin Bacon, Alicia Silverstone, Andie McDowell and many other familiar faces. Gina (Queen Latifa) quits her job at a salon to open her own business. She encounters troubles of running her own …
Into the Wild
I watched Into the Wild yesterday. I think most or part of the plot story that is in this story is based on true events. Sean Peen excels this time and this is a very good movie which leads you to think long after the movie’s finished. …
Kagaaj ke Phool
Kagaaj ke Phool (KKP) is yet another great work of Gurur Dut. It’s a kind of autobiography of Dutts life. The story is bout a successful filmmaker who sees failure in the later phase of his life, and dies in misery, all alone in a chair, with nobody …

Erin Brokovich is the story of a single mom with 3 kids struggling to make ends meet. The beginning of the movie shows her effort to find a job but in the process she finds that her mediocre skills and lack of education are not what people are …
Pineapple Express
This is yet another comedy from the Happy Madison production line and is much typical with the plot line we come to expect from these films! Definitely not for the younger viewers and contains 100% adult material!! The movie stars Seth Rogan and James Franco who do an average …

2 Weeks Notice - 2002 Movie
2 Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant is a movie in which the two stars play the exact same characters (with different names) that they have in a multitude of other movies that I have seen. While You Were Sleeping and Bridget Jones’ Diary come to mind. …
Final Fantasy Unlimited: Phase 1
You would think that a DVD called “Final Fantasy Unlimited: Phase 1″ would follow the golden Final Fantasy recipe.
What is the Final Fantasy recipe?
1.Great involving storyline
2.Unexpected Changes
3.Great character lines
4.Realistic but still surreal characters
5.Topnotch graphics
6.Amazing music
What does this DVD have?
1.Amazing music
Whatever happened to the other 5 elements? They were butchered.

Spirit Trap
Starring: Billie Piper (Jenny), Sam Troughton (Nick), Luke Mably (Tom), Emma Catherwood (Adele), Alsou (Tina), Chike Okonkwo (Edmund Joseph)
This movie is actually not too bad; it started off as rather mundane, but the idea of an old clock that linked the past to the current is quite refreshing!
Jenny …
Redbox Rental Service
I love Redbox. It’s a vending machine that dispenses movies, even Blu-rays, with 19 locations within 10 miles of my home. At first DVDs were $1 per movie per night. Now they are $1.20 plus tax. However I think it’s still a great deal. I usually grab a movie …
Movie War
This is a rather tricky movie for me to review, as I really didn’t pay attention to what was going on. It’s not that I have a short attention span, OK I do but that wasn’t the problem here, it was the fact that I couldn’t understand a …
Christmas in Connecticut Movie
Christmas in Connecticut is an old black and white movie that is so good and so funny. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan. The movie is about Elizabeth Lane, the country’s most loved food writer and house wife. She writes an article in a magazine about foods she …
Movie Reno 911
Reno 911 is an extraordinary ensemble of unknowns that team up to make the slapstick satire on the Reno Police Force a real winner. The use of lit up scenes in an amateurish presentation makes this show look like a home video, but do not be fooled. …
Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …
Circus Movie
Charlie Chaplin’s Circus is not one of the comedy master’s most famous films, but it is one of my personal favorites. The story is very simple: the tramp (Chaplin) comes to a circus so seek his fortune. While there the most unlikely and crazy adventures take place and I …
Monsters Vs. Aliens
Monsters versus aliens is a DVD that I recently purchased and watched with my kids one day. I know that for many of us that have kids we are probably sick of watching kids movies all the time, but Monsters versus aliens is a movie that I could watch …
Movie The Proposal
Featuring two of my favorite actors, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this movie leaves much to be desired. The story follows a publisher, Margaret Tate who is Bullock’s character to hatch a hare-brained scheme to marry her assistant to renew her visa. Her assistant, Andrew Tate played …
Pulp Fiction (1994)
There is no other movie like Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” It is definitely at the top of my favorites list. This movie is chocked full of best talent that Hollywood has to offer. With big names like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman and …
Bad Neighbours (movie)
My co-workers and I decided that we should probably go see a movie for the two for one special a local theatre was having. Two of us wanted to see the new Spiderman movie and the other two wanted to go and see one of those random chick flicks …
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties (2006)
The sequel to the original that has no real bearing on it, this is the story of Garfield the cat who is traveling to London England with Odie the dog to surprise their master who is going to get married. It just so happens that Garfield got switched with …
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Who doesn’t love this holiday classic? Unlike so many Christmas movies and specials, this one remains as timeless as ever. Anyone of any generation can instantly get interested in the tale of Rudolph, the poor reindeer who is different from the rest and is thus outcast.
The Claymation …
Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …
Dead Like Me: Hurry
Dead Like Me: Hurry is the next installment of this science fiction series, and it’s all about being in a hurry.
One of the subplots is Joy and Clancy going through the divorce settlement process, which is never pleasant. Another subplot has Happy Time employees dealing with an efficiency …
Stephen King’s Pet Semetary movie
One of my favorite movies of all time, Stephen King’s “Pet Semetary” is always worth a watch. It’s the story of a young Doctor who is moving his family to Maine to take up a new position. While working his first week on the job, he tries, unsuccessfully to …
Movie Dead Birds
My cousin brought this movie by for me to watch the other day because she has been borrowing a lot of mine. I just watched it a couple of hours ago. It was a pretty good movie all around. I think it could have been better but overall it …
Bicentennial Man movie
This Robin Williams movie was a delightful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to like Bicentennial Man at all. Williams may be a terrific comic, but his films don’t usually thrill me personally. There are exceptions, of course, like Awakenings, which is why I decided to give this flick …
The Unborn (NR, 2003) movie
Ok I really really really tried to watch The Unborn. These kinds of films are typically right up my alley. However, for some reason I got totally turned off by this film. I think it’s because there seem to be so many Asian films wherein …
Sin City
I’m not sure why exactly I liked Sin City, I just know I did.
Starring Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba, Sin City places you in the middle of a comic book in a fictional city full of mobsters, gun toting prostitutes and three heros who face all odds for the …

The Pagemaster
This movie is so much fun! It was made in 1994 and stars Christopher Lloyd and Macaulay Culkin, with other well known actors lending their voices and talents to the film, including Whoopi Goldberg.
When the movie begins and ends, it’s live action. But, for the …
