Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
The Movie Alice In Wonderland
As a child there were not many animated movies that I really did not like, however there were a few. At the top of the list is Alice In Wonderland. This movie really freaked me out!!! I have only seen it twice and will not watch it again.

Memoirs of a Geisha
Another Cinderella story with a cultural relevance is Memoirs of a Geisha, a movie adaptation of Arthur Golden’s best selling novel. If there is anyone who is into cultural immersion and intense drama, then I recommend this movie.
The movie follows the story of Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), a young girl …
Movie Death at a Funeral
I only watched “Death at a Funeral” because I read some positive comments about it; however I didn’t expect to be such a great comedy, especially when taking in account that the main topic is a funeral. The director of this movie, Frank Oz managed to come up with …
Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.
Black does the voice of Po, a worker in a noodle restaurant who aspires to be a Kung fu master and, through a series of …
The Wedding Crashers
The Wedding Crashers it a great movie! This movie was just great. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaugn did a great job of acting in this movie. I really liked the basic storyline. The Wedding Crashers is very funny because these two guys go around looking for girls at weddings they …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
X-Files, I want to Believe
When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …

Disney takes you underwater for an epic animated …
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 …

It is unfortunately very rare that Elvis Presley ever had a chance to really show off his acting abilities. He was much more talented than his resume shows. Jailhouse Rock from 1957 is a movie where the king of rock and roll does get to show some …
Inside Out (R, 2005) movie

Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …
Brief Crossing (NR, 2001) film
Director Catherine Breillat is one of the most underrated directors of all time. Her films will appeal to women because of their intimate nature. But men will love her movies because they are filled with beautiful women and some pretty intense romantic situations. In this movie, …
Rosemary’s Baby movie

The First Wives Club is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The first time I saw the movie I was young, so I did not grasp the significance of both cast and the plot as a whole, but now that I am older it is one of the …
The Dead Zone (1983) movie
The Dead Zone is an old movie from 1983 but I have only just seen it and it was better than I expected. Although I loved reading Stephen King novels when I was younger they unfortunately do not often translate very well into celluloid, but The Dead Zone …
Land Before Time movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Land Before Time. This is a timeless classic. It is a story about Little Foot the long neck, Sarah the three horn, Spike the sharp tail, Ducky the swimmer, and Peetry the flier. Each one of these characters is a dinosaur. This …
Kick Ass Movie (2010)

Another movie that I just watched recently along with Mall Cop with Kevin James was the movie ‘Just Friends’ starring Ryan Reynolds, who plays a chubby teenager with braces and a desperate crush on his best friend who he has known since the sixth grade. Humiliated beyond repair at a …
Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …
The Hunger Games (movie)
One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …

Enough Jennifer Lopez
I was in the mood tonight to watch a serious movie, perferably about something that could really happen. I choose to watch Enough with Jennifer Lopez. This movie was exceptional. It made me realize that people really do have to live like this being cheated on and abused and …
The Italian Job (2003 version)
“The Italian job” is one of my all time favourites film. I think I must have watched this movie at least 5 times and I still keep watching from time to time. Although it is a remake of an older version released in 1969, this action movie has got …

Mulberry Street, horror film
We’ve all seen millions of zombie movies. Zombie movies are flooding the horror genre. Either original ones come out or terrible remakes. The director Jim Mickle went with a different approach with his plague movie. Instead of zombies taking over a city we have disease carrying rats!

The Imitation Game, movie
“The Imitation Game” has proven to be one of this year’s top contenders at the more significant film award ceremonies. Does the film, however, truly live up to its praise? The film explores the life of Alan Turing and his experiences in attempting to break the ENIGMA code of …
The Royal Tenenbaums (comedy drama movie)
Throughout the years I’ve heard about the movie “The Royal Tenenbaums” but I never actually had a chance to watch it until recently. I figured it would have been one of those films that was severely overrated by a lot of people, but it turns out that even though I …
Gridiron Gang Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
I loved this movie because it showed that you can discipline with a heart. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson portrayed a great role model who cared about others. Despite the fact that these kids had major issues with the law and had been given up on, he decides to take …
The Pelican Brief thriller
I usually don’t like political thrillers, but I found the Pelican Brief to be a thought-invoking and fantastic film. It’s one I would watch over again.

One of those movies that I had always heard people talking about but I never got to watch was “Driving Miss Daisy”, and so of course I always knew I had to see it whenever I had the chance to. I didn’t actually know what it was supposed to …
Project X movie
When I saw Matthew Broderick as the leading actor, I naturally assumed the movie Project X would be a comedy. I was wrong. However, as far as dramas are concerned, I have to say this is one of the better movies I’ve seen.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End is one of those movies that you can giggle your way through, but at the end of the day you kind of realize that you just did like it. The first time I saw the movie was with a group of friends. We planned …
Boss, a telugu movie
casting: Nagarjuna, Nayana tara, sunil
Boss is an average movie. Music and songs are also below average. There is no stuff in the movie. No message… nothing. This is just time pass movie. This time Hero Nagarjuna took wrong step in choosing the story. The best part of the movie …
Sex and the City
Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Recognize these four names? These are the women on a popular tv show called Sex and the City. It is easy to fall in love with these characters who seem so true to life.
