Bubble movie
“Bubble” is directed by Stephen Soderbergh. Soderbergh is the brillian mind behind such films as “Sex, Lies and Videotapes” and “Traffic”. Whats sad about this is that “Bubble” Is terrible. I’m not sure how a great director can go from hollywood blockbusters to bombing …
The Joy Luck Club (Movie)
I was forced to watch this movie as part of a requirement of a social work module of mine that had to deal with some sociocultural issues, and so, against my will, I went to my school library and borrowed this movie to watch it. The movie, my friend …
The Others Nicol Kidman Movie
The Others, enjoys the wonderful play of Nicole Kidman. The nice fact about this movie is, you should watch the film until the last second to know what has really happened. Nicol Kidman’s acting is really, admirable, as ever. Beside her natural beauty, her mastery in acting attracts you …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …
Movie Fear
This movie features now famous Hollywood superstars Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon. I think it’s their first movie roles and they were still in their teens. I saw this movie a long time ago but I was perfectly sure that both of them are gonna be superstars (but who …
Movie Public Enemies
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, and also love historically-based movies. I looked forward to seeing Public Enemies, a movie starring Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard (another of my favourite actresses), because I had read a lot about John Dillinger, the famous bank robber during the Depression years. …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …
Remember the titans
Usually I don’t like movies about football or any sport for that matter. I really liked this movie though. It has Denzel Washington in it. I think he did an amazing job in this movie, like he usually does. The movie was good because it had a very good …

The Messengers (movie)
I finally gave in and watched the movie The Messengers with my wife yesterday afternoon. And, even though I’ve never seen the film, I felt like I did.
The problem with The Messengers is, for a horror film, it’s really not all that scary. And, it’s because they used the …
Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …

James Bond - Lots of Quantum, No Solace

Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …

Eagle Eye
I’m usually not a big fan of movies that play the whole 1984 card and focus on “Big Brother.” And, I’ll be the first to admit the idea of a computer independently controlling people’s lives is something out of the 80s (think the movie War Games)and still a bit …
X-Men: Apocalypse 2016 Superhero Movie
I read and heard a lot of bad reviews about the new X-Men: Apocalypse movie. This was from both dissatisfied movie goers and fans of the comic, thus I just wrote it off as a bad movie initially and put it out of my head. However, when someone I knew …

Whisper (R, 2007)
I usually am a little apprehensive about “no-name” horror films. But I gave this one a shot. I am glad that I did because this movie was more interesting than I thought it would be. The plot is fairly simple: a group of …
Yaadein (movie), 2001
The yaadein (remembrance) of the film Yaadein in perhaps no longer in any of our mind apart from its lovely songs and charming promotional advertisements (Lol). This movie released in 2001 and was directed by Subhash Ghai. I remember how lovely the promotional advertisement of the film was and …

This is a wonderful BBC miniseries, and I recommend it highly. It’s based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, a Victorian writer, contemporary with Charles Dickens.
The story centers on Molly Gibson, a young girl living in England in the 1830’s. Molly is the only child of a local …
What Happens in Vegas
Reading the description of What Happens in Vegas, you would assume it is like many other romantic comedies that have come out over the years, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the more dramatic The Breakup. But, after watching it last night, I have to …

Ghost Hunters Season 2 Part 1 DVD set
I bought the Ghost Hunters Season 2 Part 1 DVD set from Target and after watching it I had to go online and look because I thought I should return it. The set looks really cheaply made and the transfer to DVD was so poor that I thought there …

The Karate Kid (2010)
I was a huge fan of the Karate Kid released in 1984 so when I first heard of a movie remake I was thrilled to the bone. Upon knowing that Jackie Chan would take the place of the late Mr. Noriyuki “Pat” Morita, the thing that first hit me, …

I think the movie IT is one of the best and scariest movies ever made. This is a movie that will make you afraid of clowns after you watch it. It is one of the darkest and most evil movie ever made. I was horrified by the sinister appearance …
McHales Navy movie

Eight Legged Freaks
Eight Legged Freaks with David Arquette, Kari Wuhrer, and Scarlett Johansson.

Alligator (1980)
I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …
