Watching Umrao Jaan brought tears to my eyes. This is a Hindi movie in Urdu, I think and if I’m not mistaken. I don’t speak Hindi language nor Urdu and it helps each time whenever I watch a movie of Hindi genre, or Bollywood, there will be subtitles. …

First of all: I LOVE penguins! I don’t know why, but they seem to be such happy little creatures, wherever you see them in movies, toy- shops and tv-commercials… but then, after seeing the documentary “March of the Penguins” (see separate review), I know there are not that happy …

I decided to watch the Wolverine one evening after hearing so many things about it. Initially I was late on finding out that there was going to be a new movie featuring the wolverine. To be honest, I don’t remember hearing anything about up it until a couple of …

I watched this movie at school a long time ago. The teacher had put it on, and when we watched it, I was one of the only people who paid any attention, and I am guessing that that was because everyone else had already watched it and they knew …

I was fairly young when I first picked up the book “A Wrinkle in Time” — but to his day, very few novels (with the ultimate exception of the Harry Potter series) have managed to match it.
The book is one of high adventure and heavy imagination — and, as …

I thought that Scary Movie 4 would be another foolish kind of slapstick movie but when I watched, I was really so laughing like crazy with my bunch of friends.
It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …

This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …

I think Balls of Fury is a very funny and crazy movie. And of course I am going to like this movie, it has Christopher Walken in it. He is one of my favorite actors and He does a wonderful job of acting in this great film. He is at …

I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …

Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …

I watch Just like Heaven when I was flipping through channels and saw Resse Witherspoon, whose movies I love, mainly her chick flicks. I thought Just like heaven’s story line was unconventional and yet hard to believe although a bit eager to want to have. I did however end …

Iron Man blew the box office away in 2008. Now, two years later, Iron Man 2 has done it again with Robert Downey Jr.’s extravagant performance as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …

Just one word to sum up Eden Lake that I’ve watched: gross. I don’t think that Eden Lake is a true story and if there are, who would in their right mind breed kids like those fanatic murderers and torturers in this movie story. I get disgusted by …

There have been a few projects out of Hollywood by the title of Shell Game. This particular one is a movie that starred John Davidson and aired in 1975. The program was actually a pilot that didn’t sell.
Davidson had all the requirements for this character of Max …

When I first saw the trailer for Lucy, I just knew that I had to see it. It seemed to have a similar premise to the movie Limitless, and not to mention I’ve been a fan of the actress Scarlett Johansson for the longest while. However, as it got closer …

The bizarre Addams family awaits their beloved uncle Fester to return from his travels. What they don’t notice when he arrives is that crooks have taken his identity for mysterious purposes.
This is in my opinion a very colorful and charming film, very truthful to the old 1960s tv series, …

From 1946, Notorious is a classic movie that has been respected and admired since it was made. It’s a movie of intrigue right from the start. It keeps you on your toes, uncertain of motivations and realities.
Filmed in black and white, Notorious stars Cary Grant as T.R. …

A lot of people I knew were very excited to see the movie Spectre as soon as it was released. While my excitement didn’t necessarily reach their level, I was certainly curious to see what it would be about since my interest in James Bond movies had been rekindled over …

Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …

Based on the synopsis of this film by Joel and Ethan Cohen, I would not have bothered with Fargo, but a friend whose opinion I trusted recommended I watch it and it is now one of my favorites. Set in wintry Minnesota, William H. Macy plays a dodgy …

Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …

This was a great movie for me. I used to work in retail. Most movies are based out of big city office complexes, and most of the average people working in shopping centers, restaurants, or some other ordinary job. So I really related to this movie. However the …

“Nine Queens” is a 2000 movie from Argentina about grifters or con-men. The movie is in Spanish but the DVD comes with a choice of subtitles. The movie is in color and was filmed on locations throughout Buenos Aires.
Ostensibly the movie is about two con-men: Juan, played by …

I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …

I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.

The biggest reason I …

I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …

A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.

Finally, in midst of all its criticism, I watched Transformers: Age of Extinction. It is nothing but a visual bombardment from Michael Bay, with a poor script. It starred Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor.
“Is it really Michael Bay ? “, ” He did it again.”, “What was …
