War aka Rogue Assassin Movie
I have always loved Jet Li ever since Kiss of the Dragon and Cradle to the Grave, however this is a much different setting than the earlier movies mentioned that still remain as my old-time favorites, this has a certain twist in a way that it is both gruesome, …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …

The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
Charmed TV Show
Remember the tv show Charmed? This was about three sisters who fought demons and struggled to build personal lives as well. I must admit, this is among my favorite shows. I have almost all of the seasons on DVD and I don’t let anyone in my family touch them …
Zathura movie
I know this movie is a rip off of Jumanji and was therefore given a bad rating, but in all honesty this was actually a pretty good movie. It is especially great for kids witht the exception that the younger brother calls his sibling a dick. This …
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
Stone 2010 movie
One of those things that made this movie enjoyable was that you watch a man who finds its inner equilibrium. The irony is that he does not know how. At one point, Stone says, “Told you, I could not Explain It”, speaking of the total change he experienced. Indeed, …
Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …

Sherlock Holmes (Movie)

Big Momma’s House 2
This was by far one of the dumbest movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching. I was made to watch this by a friend and tried to watch it with an open mind, but that was dashed 5 minutes into the movie. Don’t get me wrong, Martin …
The Village movie
The Village is a movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I have been a very big fan of Night Shyamalan and I watch every movie directed by him. But The Village is a bit disappointing movie because of no proper story. The pace of the plot is very slow …

Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
Before Sunset movie
Nine years after the success movie of “Before Sunrise”, the actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet up together to work on “Before Sunset” which only took 15 days shooting. No doubt there are very few sequels which one can say that they are great and “Before Sunset” is …

“Couples Retreat” (2009 movie)
There is nothing left of the romantic comedy genre. It’s been on the decline for at least the past decade, with the odd exception that actually mixes the pathos and exhilaration of love lost and found with comedic coincidence and the kind of zany antics that for the most …
Rock Star movie
To put everything in one sentence the movie “Rock Star” is all out rock and seeing the actor, Mark Wahlberg with long hair, lipstick and mascara. In my opinion, this is definitly not the best film for him, especially when considering that at the time he already did “The …

Cat’s Eye
I have to say I really enjoyed the Stephen King movie Cat’s Eye. This movie was very intense and actually had me feeling scared. I thought that Quitter’s INC was a very scary episode in the film. You see Cat’s Eye is made up of 3 short movies and it …

Deck the Halls
When it comes to Christmas movies, there usually isn�t much difference between one or another; especially when they are comedies.
But, the film Deck the Halls admittedly was pretty good.
It�s one thing to have Christmas spirit, but what if your neighbor has so much Christmas spirit it’s keeping you up …
Opera movie
Dario Argento’s film begins in the most magnificent way I have ever seen. With a constantly moving camera Argento reveals certain images that fills me with excitement and suspense. It seems to go on and on, just until the camera stops, and somebody gets brutally murdered. This murder could …
30 Days of Night
It was rather disappointing to watch 30 Days of Night on theaters before. I think this movie was a couple of years back and I watched it with my ex boyfriend during that time.
The movie is about vampires or something and the movie effects throughout was rather …

Lady Bird (2017 Comedy-Drama Film)

The latest effort from the Stargate SG-1 camp is a direct to DVD movie called Stargate Continuum. Along with the regulars from the final season of the SG-1 television series, Richard Dean Anderson returned.

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
Journey to the Center of the Earth was fantastic. This movie is 3D. You are given 3D glasses upon purchasing your ticket. As for the movie, it was quite good. The 3D effects are used well. I believe that they could’ve been used even more than they were, but …
Repulsion movie
Roman Polanskis masterful effort about a woman, played by the beautiful Catherine Deneuve, who step by step goes insane in here solitude. Polanski builds the suspense like only a master would be able to. The narrative is very unpredictable, almost claustrofobic, and Deneuve is excellent in the leading role. …
Our Miss Brooks movie
From 1956, Eve Arden takes the part that she played successfully for four years on television, high school English teacher Constance ‘Connie’ Brooks, and puts her on the big screen. What is confusing to some, though, is that instead of moving forward with the story, this movie actually …
The Lifeguard (2013 Film)

The patriot is one of the best movies that I ever watch. This movie is based on the struggle of poor Americans against the mighty British Empire. The struggle was a success and hence it makes the movie a must see to learn the art of impeccable planning.
The first …

The movie Zubeida is directed by Shyam Benegal. Shyam Benegal is one of the best directors in India making realistic films and art films. Though Zubeida isn’t an art film but surely it is a realistic film. This movie releases in 2001. I watched this film at cinema hall …
Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols
Something about Charlie Wilson’s War doesn’t feel right. The film tells the true story about Charlie Wilson and how he single handedly took down the Soviets. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching this movie and I don’t know why I feel this way …
The Postman movie
The Postman with Kevin Costner and Will Patton.
What a great story told by a great actor Imagine that the world’s governments crumbled and all communication non existent between the surviving clans. This description does not generate the level of interest that this exciting …
