Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck)
If you guys have watched Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck) before, you will be surprised to know that it is a very good movie, but with a science-fiction genre. I really categorize this movie as fiction because I can never imagine this movie to be other than that at all. …
Cellular (2004)
When a lady is kidnapped and taken to a remote location, her only means of escape is to make a call to a random number using a cellular phone and hope that the person on the other end one the call doesn’t think it’s a prank call and hang …
Prom Night (Movie)
This movie is titled Prom Night and I was very hesitant and reluctant to watch it at first because it seemed like it was too unpredictable. The movie is all about a group of teens and they are one by one murdered on prom night —“ simple as that. …
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
I have always been a huge fan of vampire movies, but I have to say that Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” is the most bizarre vampire movie I have ever seen. There is a lot of great talent in this movie - including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette …
84 Charing Cross Road
This gem of a movie is unfairly little known. Made in 1987, it stars Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft who tell a touching story of a 20-year-long friendship of two people who actually haven’t seen each other face to face.
Helene Hanff (Bancroft) is a struggling writer in New York …
Ninotchka
I am a major fan of classic movies and I actually have a big VHS and DVD movie collection. Among those I cherish most is “Ninotchka”, the first motion picture where Greta Garbo laughed. It may not sound extraordinary, but it was, because Garbo was largely known …
Stranger than Fiction
When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.
Stranger than Fiction isn’t a bad movie, in fact it was pretty good. But, it definitely wasn’t as funny as …
Dedication Movie
In must admit that I really enjoy watching Mandy Moore’s movie; however “Dedication” failed to impress me. Even though the great actors, Diane Wiest and Tom Wilkinson give a lot to this movie, ultimately I found it a boring romantic comedy. It seems that I am not the only …
Mother Hubbard Case
I am reviewing The Mother Hubbard Case, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, stars as …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)
I’m one of those people who is a big fan of independent films, but for some reason when I saw a trailer of this movie a few months ago I wasn’t very interested in it. The fact that Emma Watson and Logan Leerman played two of the main characters …
DNAngel Episode 5 (Anime)
DNAngel Episode 5 has Risa and Riku switching places with each other after Risa fails in cooking class. Daisuke has to peal cabbages too and tries to get out of it to get to his next thieving assignment.
This was a pretty fun episode. I enjoyed it and it …
King Kong vs. Godzilla
King Kong vs. Godzilla is the first color Godzilla movie, and in a way, I kind of wish that it was not. Both King Kong and Godzilla look ugly and fake as do the sets and the military tanks and other artillery. I also do not like how the …
Blind Man’s Bluff
I am reviewing The Case of the Blind Man’s Bluff, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
Kick-Ass Movie
Kick-Ass is a comic-book superhero movie about a guy who ask himself “why nobody has ever tried to be a superhero?” like the ones on comic-books. Kick-Ass is based in a comic by Mark Millar and I think this is one of the best comic-book movies ever. As a …
Drag Me To Hell (Movie)
When this movie came out I really thought it was so low-budget and too corny. I didn’t know the director, I didn’t know the main cast, and I didn’t know what the point of the movie was all about. The trailer didn’t show anything much and the posters were …
Enron
If you are like me, the story of Enron and its executives were just little snipets of information you heard on the evening news. Yes, someplace out in Texas many people were losing their jobs, but it didn’t touch me personally, so why should I pay attention?
However, after …
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince
I happen to be HUGE Harry Potter fan, and I was so excited to go see the new movie this Sunday. In the past, I didn’t quite get how good these books were, but my cousin who happened to own the first three books made me read them one summer …

Dracula Untold, movie (2014)
Dracula Untold is a dark fantasy action film that deals with the origins of Count Dracula, the famous character from Brom Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula. This movie is laced with action and bits of horror throughout. It’s not a perfect movie but as far as action movies go, it pays …
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
“Star Trek: Generations” is, in my opinion, the best of the Star Trek movies. I love the way it blended the cast of the original series with that of Star Trek: The Next Generation, even though they were 78 years apart in time. The way they did this was …
Elf Will Ferrell
This is a definite must have anytime you need a quick pick me up. Will Ferrell was so hilarious in this movie. I could not stop laughing so hard the entire time. His entire outfit was enough to get you started. I loved his naive point of view of …
Ghost Rider movie
There’ve been a lot of comic book adaptations in recent years, a vast majority of which have been Marvel films. While DC released two Batman films and a Superman film, Marvel released a slew of hit or miss summer blockbusters. One of these was “Ghost Rider”. …

A Million Ways to Die in the West (movie)
Since I haven’t been seeing any new episodes of Family Guy or American Dad I’ve been wondering what the creator Seth McFarlane has been up to and whether or not he had any new projects working on. My question was answered when I saw the trailer for the comedy “A …
Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
Apocalypto : Movie
Apocalypto is a movie directed by Mel Gibson. It was released soon after the scandal that occurred when Mel Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving and went on a tirade against Jewish people. For this reason, many people didn’t see the movie when it came out …
Veggietales: Lord of the Beans movie

(500) Days of Summer movie
If you like romantic comedies this is, in my opinion, the best of the year. Believe it or not, as a fan of all things romantic, I’ve a very low tolerance for the cheese-factor in film scripts. Yep, I still pride myself on being a realist. …
The Holiday movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet, Joe Black, Cameron Diez, and Jude Law. Kate Winslet’s character is a fool for love, but the problem is, the guy she love doesn’t love her back. She’s involved in a game of cat and mouse as he …

Snatch movie
Im was a huge fan of Lock Stock and Two Smokin barrels and when Snatch was released I was unsure of what to expect.
Surely it couldn’t be as gritty and now with that expectation and Benecio Del Toro, Brad Pitt and Dennis Farina I thought it would be too …

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
BRUCE ALMIGHTY,MOVIE
If ever there were a self-pitying person with the negative personality of a rattler on a bad day, it would be the part played by Jim Carey, in the movie, Bruce Almighty! To this hero, God, himself, if OUT to get him, when he steps in a mud puddle, …

War of the Worlds: Movie
War of the Worlds is one of my favourite alien invasion films; I thought it was really well made.
