The Count of Monte Cristo,2002 Movie
The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. Apart from the book, this movie is decent. If you have not read the novel by Alexander Dumas and are not familiar with the story, you will probably enjoy it. However, the fans of the book will just shake their heads. The story …
The Shawshank Redemption
To say it bluntly, this is my second favorite movie of all time (#1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark if you’re curious) and absolutely deserving of its current top spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. What is so great about this movie is that …
Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I received the DVD Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Christmas. I liked both the movies before it, and I missed seeing Dawn of the Dinosaurs in the theaters, so I wanted to see it on DVD. The movie is a continuation of the last two …

Magic Mike film
A few of my friends had seen the movie “Magic Mike” and raved about how good it was. I didn’t really think it would be my kind of movie, so I didn’t watch it when it first came out. A few nights ago, however, I had nothing …
Michael Jackson’s This Is It
I hadn’t been to the movie theater in a long time since the big screen seems dominated by typical hollywood trash. But Michael Jackson’s This Is It was truly an exception because it’s an original movie that stands out in a culture full of one cheesy remake after …
Doubt movie
In the face of progressive change, how much does compassion figure in long-established doctrine and discipline? This seems to be the question that is initially asked the audience upon watching “Doubt”, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning period stage play by John Patrick Shanley, but as …
Gulliver’s Travels (2010 Film)
Jack Black is one of those actors who I can’t seem to not laugh at. He is just funny to me, his facial expressions, his voice changes, his general presence in films and responses to other elements and actors in films leaves me breathless with laughter. And while I …
Star Trek (2009)
Although I enjoyed seeing the new Star Trek movie, I have to say that the writers really dropped the ball with the script and some of the characterizations. The story was quite poor and not very interesting at all, and it seemed as if the story was written around …
Garden State: Movie
Garden State is one of my favourite films. I didn’t know quite what to make of the plot when I first read about it, but the beautifully written script and the well acted characters that you will just fall in love with make it a must see for independent …

The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …

One Hour Photo movie
One Hour Photo with Robin Williams.

Seeker:The Dark Is Rising
I went to see this movie this afternoon and was told it was a five star movie. At first, the movie started out kind of confusing to me. The boy, who is the “hero”, was with a family that I wasn’t even sure was his own. Plus, were they …
Candy movie
I watched this film starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish, thinking that it was really going to be riveting. But I must admit that I was sadly disappointed. The movie tried too hard to be poignant, shocking, and emotional. What it turned out to be …
