Unfaithful Movie
This movie I found scary in a way that it’s hard to get involved danger and when you’re playing with fire there’s always bad karma around the corner for you, not only is it inappropriate but when you’re unfaithful to someone, the guilt and the conscience just doesn’t feel …

50 First Dates
Adam Sandler is thoroughly charming in the movie date, 50 First Dates. I caught this on DVD and in fact, I have done that lots of times. I always do not fail to laugh whenever I watch 50 First Dates, and the side-kick heroine in this laughable romantic …
Star Wars: Episode 2- Attack of the Clones
Well, I can say one good thing about Attack of the Clones, it was better than The Phantom Menace! (I said that in my sarcastic voice by the way). First off, the relationship between Anakin and Padma is probably one of the worst relationships every put on …

Red 2010 movie

The Legend of Suram Fortress movie
The Armenian visionary filmmaker Sergei Parajanov is one of my favorite directors through all time. The Legend of Suram Fortress is one of his last films. The narrative is very complex and the visual style is like nothing else. The story is about an old armenian myth that took …
“Crash” Motion Picture
I rented Crash the film because it was on the top 100 list of netflix films and I had never seen it. I knew it was about car crashes but I so did not see this movie coming. It is mostly about race relations, anger …
Pursuit of happiness
Pursuit of Happiness starring Will Smith is the best movie I had ever seen in terms of potraying the real life situation. The struggle to existence and the survival of the fittest theory has been explained beautifully in the movie. Will smith acts as a ordinary sales person although …
Freaky Friday movie
Upon seeing the trailer of Freaky Friday I was already laughing my head off so I decided that I would watch the movie. I’m sure glad I did because the movie was worth every penny. I can’t remember the last time I laughed this hard. Freaky Friday is a …
Disney’s Robin Hood (1973)
“Robin Hood” is not my favorite Disney animated feature. In fact, the main reason why I like it at all is the narrator, a rooster / minstrel with the voice of Roger Miller, who also composed the songs that he sings to move the story along.
The bunnies …
The Good Shepherd Movie
The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …

Thor: Movie
Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …

ABD Family’s Original Movie “Cyberbully” (2011 Film)
ABS Family came out with a movie in 2011 called Cyberbully. And I have to just say that this movie went beyond my expectations and brought viewers the type of movie that focuses on a key issue effecting young teens. I was surprised at how relatable the film was …

Willy Wonka is Willy Bad
I have seen both versions of Willy Wonka and I can speak from personal experience. Johnny Depp couldn’t be more awful! The old version portrayed Wonka as a dignified adult of English society with a streak of uncontrollable genius.
In this movie the jokes are corny and disgusting, the Oopa …
