Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …

When it comes to comedy or drama/comedy, I am fairly cautious, as although the genre itself appeals to me, I tend to find a lot of so-called funny movies merely annoying or distasteful. The same can be said for romantic comedies, of which barely a few have ever managed …

We recently purchased a copy of Red Eye for 99 cents at the local video store. So, I didn’t think it was going to be that good.
I was definitely wrong. While not as good as other airplane movies, it still was one of the better thrillers I’ve seen.
The main …

Oh how I love these kind of movies…. You know, the ones that spoof genres and imitate many films at the same time. Examples of these are ones like SCARY MOVIE, DANCE FLICK, THE NAKED GUN, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE etc… One of the main reasons I like these …

I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.
I’m not sure, but I think this might have originally …

OK, as far as Raiders of the Lost Ark is concerned, it�s a great movie in terms of action sequences and special effects, but the script leaves a little to be desired.
The first in the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Raiders of the Lost Ark has a slightly harder task …

Jurassic Park 3 is a great action packed movie. This is the third installment of the Jurassic Park series and in my opinion the best one so far. The stars of this movie include Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni and Alessandro Nivola. I liked each character in …

A Good Year is a real feel good film, just like the title suggests. Russell Crow plays the lead and I actually like him in this film. He does a great English accent and plays a hard hearted, workaholic, money hungry city trader to perfection. His character doesn’t seem …

A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …

Some people may say that Godfather is the greatest gangster movie of all time, and while I agree that it is an amazing movie, I believe that Goodfellas surpasses the Godfather. Goodfellas follows the rise and fall of a mob, specifically the storylines of three characters, Ray Liotta, …

Although I feel you might be able to add “four dimensional” components such as motion and interaction with live objects simultaneous with the viewing of the film, the Omnimax provides what I consider the bets visual and audio experience possible.
I’ll get the sound out of the way because it …

11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …

When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …

Another classic horror film, made back in the 1930s. Very subtle horror is it doesn’t really contain any violence or monsters. A woman travels to Jamaica where she learns of the strange culture called voodoo - the ability to control people using a puppet.
This woman experiences the most remarkable …

I was home sick yesterday and found myself watching Star Trek Nemesis for the first time in several years.
I has been a long time since I last saw the movie so I had no memory of what it was about. And, compared to other Star Trek movies, I think …

Many years ago my son and I went to see Jurassic Park in the movie theaters. We were so impressed by the movie that we went back the following week to see it again. Then we purchased it to keep in our collection.
This movie is a …

The cult favorite among many people is a very gore-filled comedy about a young medicine student who gets involved in the most horrific way of making dead bodies come back to life. The film is very bizarre and the violence just seem to pop out of nowhere, just like …

There will many who brand Alex Jones, the Austin based documentary filmmaker, radio and tv host as a conspiracy nut. Heck, I would have done so not too terribly long ago. However, after seeing many of his films I have begun to see that there is a …

American comedies have become part of a cliche after the 90s, the main plot being based simply on a failed relationship or some other unsatisfying cheesy drama. What I can claim to be a good comedy with cleverly conceived humour is ‘Analyze This’, the 1998 movie starring Billy Crystal, …

I usually don’t like these mummy movies. But a friend of mine dragged me out to see this one, and I was not that displeased. I will say that the story itself was kind of charming. There was plenty of action so as not …

Indiscreet is actually my first exposure that I can recall to a young Gloria Swanson, who stars in this 1931 film as Gerry Trent. So much of what I have seen is Swanson decades later and the caricature that is so often parodied on shows like The Carol …

Most often than not, small films like this one gets buried in a year full of blockbusters. Which is probably the reason why I was not able to watch this the year it was released. Admittedly, 3 years ago, I was not too much of a fan of smaller movies. …

I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …

I am a DC fan ever since childhood, and while most of my friends accuse me of being a Marvel hater (which isn’t true by the way), I am not blind enough to see the faults of my mighty favorite comicbook superheroes.
I was a little bit disappointed with the theatrical …

Since it’s looking like a strong contender for Best Picture at the next Oscars, and because it was the only movie I’ve actually been even moderately excited about seeing in a long time, here’s my review of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” a film based on a book chronicling …

“Hostel”, “FearDotCom”, “The Ring”—If you’ve seen any of the following movies, then you will be more than prepared for this tale of psycho-twisted horrific suspense. At the helm of this mini-gore feast is Diane Lane, claiming the role of a slightly wizened FBI agent. She’s …

I was a teenager when I first saw the Kentucky Fried Movie and I remember thinking how it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
Now, when I watch it, I still think it’s mildly entertaining but it’s not one that I’m overly impressed by.
The whole concept of …

In Singapore, there are very few who could make it big in the movie industry, due to our size that adds a lot of constraints for us. Jack Neo, once a comedian in his comedy night featuring him posing as a old granny named “Liang Po Po”. He’s considered …

I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …

Strange that a movie running slightly more than an hour could capture my heart instantly. Check this movie out, Last Chance Harvey is a very wonderful one that you guys should not miss watching. I got some free passes due to my cellphone operator give-away points that I’ve …

The Brothers Bloom is a story of a con gone wrong. Or in other words, a con of love. Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody star in this movie, alongside the beautiful Rachel Weisz. I always find her very beautiful and admire her beauty very much.
In this …

I love watching historical movies, or movies whose settings take place at memorable times during human history. This is why I was very intrigued by the description of the movie “Love Field” when I had seen it on the television guide when I was looking on what was going …

I enjoyed this movie very much, not just because it stars the luscious Natasha Richardson, but because the dynamic between Richardson’s character and the character played by Mia Farrow is a delightful tongue-in-cheek account of Anglo-Irish relations that appeals to both my English and Irish ancestors. Their rivalry …

I don’t know why the title is Duplicity, but this movie sizzles. I watched it with my boyfriend and we were both entertained by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Both of them have this particular chemistry in the movie and together, they are plotting to make something profitable …

I absolutely adore movies that take place in the 50’s and 60’s. This movie was made in 1976, but takes place in 1953, so close enough. For some reason, those two decades fascinate me. And the music is so fantastic, I can’t get enough of it! Anyways, onto what …

Because I have kids, just about everyone who has seen the movie Ponyo has told me it is a film we should watch with the family. So, when it became available on Netflix Instant Watch, I did make an effort to add it to my list and, this past …

The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …

I am reviewing the animated film, Monster House. This movie follows around three main characters: two boys and a girl. The boys avoid this house all the time, because they think it is a monster house. The man inside is just as growly as a monster too. Whenever …
