Even though I tend to like animated movies I had put off watching “Monsters University” for a very long time. This was because I thought that I might find it to be too immature for my tastes since I had read quite a few bad reviews on it. Nevertheless, I …

In a somehow original yet cliche kind of way, The Avengers is one of the best movies of the year and easily the most entertaining. However this action thriller does not come out perfectly, a lot of small flaws make this only a good action movie and not a …

This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …

This movie, more than any movie before or since, did more to affect my life. It helped to define a career path, and it awoke in me a level of creativity I had never known. I was, needless to say, hooked.
The most intriguing aspect of Star Wars, was that, …

Insurgent, based on the book of the same name by Veronica Roth, is the sequel to 2014’s Divergent. From the trailers shown, I had hopes that the film would be better than the first. However, it ultimately falls short of expectations and represents a step back for the franchise.

Insurgent starts …

Springtime in the Rockies from 1937 is a movie I have heard about for a very long time, but believe it or not, even with its marvelous song, I have never seen it, until now.
The song that is sung at the beginning is awesome. I love the harmony …

This was my favorite of the Original Trilogy. If you think of the three earlier films as one complete story, then Empire is the all-important second act. I like this film for several reasons.
First, it expanded on the Star Wars Universe introduced in A New Hope. This meant new …

When I saw previews of this movie, I thought it would be hillarious. However, when I finally got a chance to watch it, I can understand why the critics hated it.
Overall, it was an OK movie but it wasn’t as funny as it could have been. The plot was …

This movie was the most-anticipated summer movie of the year, and people weren’t disappointed!

Coming back for a third time, Rush Hour 3, in my opinion, has done a lot better than the second. With a great addition of Israeli actor Yvan Attal, who plays George, this movie is a great finish to top off a funny trilogy.
Jackie Chan is back and better …

The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …

As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …

I am a fan of international movies, so when I saw this movie called The Raid Redemption, I immediately looked it up in Youtube to look at the trailer. I liked it, and then proceeded to watch the movie. This movie stars Indonesian actors and was written and produced …

Can two different people from two different worlds apart get together? A lot of stories have already answered that question, but perhaps the most popular story among them is Disney’s “High School Musical”.

I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …

I rented Orgazmo on the recommendation of a friend and thought it was going to turn out to be a stupid movie. I was right, it was stupid. However, it was also one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen.
The movie, about a Mormon, Joe Young, who is …

Dziga Vertov’s documentary-like film from the 1920s has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, and I can do nothing but agree to that. Vertov’s uses his camera in such imaginary ways, showing the people of Moscow through every possible angle and style. He wanted …

“John Tucker Must Die” is a cute romantic comedy targeting teenagers.

It really does take an entertaining cartoon to keep my daughter quiet for 30 minutes. The movie Dora: Save The day, accomplished the impossible, keeping her quiet for almost 2 hours.
All four episodes on the DVD were good, especially the episode that had Dora, Boots and Swiper trying to …

After his masterpiece The draughtsman’s contract back in the early 1980s, the expectations on Peter Greenaway where enormous on my account.
