A hypnotic film with Viggo Mortensen about him coming home after a long time to take care of his younger brother. The Reflecting Skin is the closest thing to cinematic poetry I have ever seen. The boundaries between dream and reality is completely erased here and the only thing …

In Her Shoes is one movie every sibling should see (especially sisters). I for one saw it with my sister. But unlike the characters in the movie, my sister and I have a close relationship. Probably because we are so similar in alot of ways, unlike the sisters in …

I grew up loving horror movies and so I have a special appreciation for the movie “Psycho” that was released in 1960. I feel that it is one of the best and most influential horror movies of all times, especially since I believe that it featured one of movies’ …

Harry potter is the movie, which my 3 years old son has liked a lot. I had been to the theatre with my little son and my husband 2 weeks back. The action in the movie is very good and the comedy is excellent. The costume …

Some films are mistakenly advertised as fantasy movies - and you expect to watch these movies with that fairytale-ish ending you thought you deserved but instead you end up crying your heart out because of just how sad they are. I remember watching a 2007 film called Bridge to Terabithia …

This is a fun-filled comedy about a college professor who is forced to turn his own family (his son and daughter) into a New Guinea tribe or risk going to jail for squandering grant money. I had wanted to see this movie for a long time and finally found …

I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …

The Last King of Scotland, directed by Kevin McDonald, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture in 2007. This classic movie concerns the life of dictator Idi Amin and his reign of terror in the African country of Uganda. The story concerns a young Scottish doctor named …

While Transformers began with children in mind, Revenge of the fallen couldn’t have landed further without earning an “R” rating. While the robots are more numerous and larger in size, I must say I am a little disappointed with the lack of responsibility taken up by the team to …

Some of these earlier movie musicals are so hard to describe simply because the plot can get a little offbeat and quirky. Of course, the same thing happens from time to time today, too, but some early films just didn’t have that much to them. Let’s take …

When the original American Pie was released it instantly became a huge hit. It was followed by American Pie 2 and American Wedding. The series seemed over when American Wedding was released, but many were wrong. American Pie: The Naked Mile, is the 5th in the American Pie series. …

This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …

Profession: Reporter is the impressive thriller by Michelangelo Antonioni. Jack Nicholson stars as the journalist who gets drawn into a mysterious league of corruption on a high political level.

The 2013 movie RIPD was one of those that viewing the trailer made me interested in seeing, but just not enough to spend money and watch it in a movie theatre. Months later when I was watching it on Blu Ray at home, I had no regrets about my …

God bless him, Tim Burton has taken Irving Washington’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow and turned it into a first class horror movie and a beautiful romance too. I’ve always disliked the original tale because, despite his flaws, you care about Ichabod Crane and you want him to get the …

I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …

This is one of the most hilarious movies that Ashton Kutcher has starred in. This hilarious, romance has to do with a very young couple getting married and the brides family not agreeing with it at all. It puts alot of strain on the beginning of the …

Movies branching off into numerous genres tend to fail in the dumpster. If the director can manage to pull things off right then you have a pretty good movie on your hands. Save the Green Planet combines so many different kinds of movie genres that you will loose track …

I love this movie theater. It is located in a shopping center complex, where I can easily eat at a fast food or sit down restaurant before or after the movie, and also do some shopping. It is usually crowded, so I have to walk a little ways to …

Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …

I rarely go to the movie theater here in town. But, my wife and I wanted to spend some time away from the kids and ended up going to see the new Robin Hood movie.
I don’t know if it was worth the $30 we spent on tickets and popcorn. …

Uwe Boll does not have the best track record when it comes to movie making. Boll’s reign of terror started with House of the Dead, his first video game movie that made people notice this German native. Things have been constantly going downhill but that is about to change …

I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.
This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …

1983’s Silkwood is a powerful story. It’s also a true story which makes it tremendously poignant and meaningful. It’s also a story with an uncertain ending, even to this day.
This is the story of Karen Silkwood, a young woman who worked at a nuclear plant and realized …

Out of Time with Denzel Washington is an action packed, non-stop tension kind of movie.
Anything with Denzel in it tends to be good at the least—“ and this is no exception. He plays a police chief who gets himself into the most unbelievable heap of trouble you can imagine, …

I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …

My wife and I got a chance to watch some movies this past weekend (mostly because the kids were in bed early for a change). One of the films we ended up watching was one we hadn’t heard of before; The Girl Next Door.
Well, actually, I had heard of …

George A. Romero is known to zombie fans as the “Godfather of All Zombies,” according to Wikipedia. His rise to fame began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead,” a dystopian zombie film that garnered acclaim and criticism for its grotesque scenes and nearly nihilistic ending. Though I’ve …

After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .
The 70s. The phones have …

I love this DVD movie called Sex and A Girl. I bought it for about $16.00. This story is about Alex, a 16 year old girl, who dreams of becoming a ballerina. She has ultra liberal hippy people as parents.
The story starts to get interesting when …

The 2007 film starring Haley Joel Osment and Ryan Merrimen called “Home of the Giants” is a movie that really shows the bonds of friendship and kept me hooked from the moment of watching it. The acting was very believable and the plot of the story was also something …

The 1988 film “Willow” was not only a movie that is suitable for family time, but one that has magic and wonder, and romance, and a whole lot of exciting adventure with a hero who didn’t think he was anything more than a wannabe magician. While this film was …

Oh my goodness. What a movie this is ! It has Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholsen. Two incredibly talented actors. Morgan Freeman is so well spoken, and Jack Nicholsen, well, he’s just Jack Nickelson; awesome. Put the two in a movie together and it makes a great movie.
The Bucket …

Last night was probably the third time I’ve watched the House episode Fidelity. But, I can’t help by still enjoy every moment of it.
The medical case in this episode actually isn’t anything overly impressive. A woman has all the symptoms of depression but doesn’t have that. And, her sleeping …

“13 going 30″ is one of my favourite movies of the actress, Jennifer Garner. Apart from the fact that the story is a good mix between romance, comedy and fantasy, I feel that this actress together with her on screen partner, Mark Ruffallo make such a great couple.
This movie …

It is hard to believe that A New Hope is the first Star Wars film ever, although when it comes to chronological sequencing, it is actually the middle of the whole six-film lineup. I can still remember when this film was first shown, I think everyone in the …

I watched Wise Girls the other day and I was surprised that this is a pretty good story with a rather interesting plot. Mira Sorvino stars as Meg and with 2 other actresses, they play the role of a waitress and it’s quite scary to think of it because …
