Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Snakes on a Plane… The title pretty much sums it up: that’s what the movie is about, snakes on a plane biting and killing people. There is no point, no deeper meaning, just that. Of course, there is some basic plot, explaining how hundreds of snakes got on an …
Sliding Doors comedy
This would be just another romantic comedy were it not for its original storyline. It tells the story of a young girls, who’s just had a terrible day. She’s been fired and when she’s running to get onto the subway, a weird thing happens. The reality sort of split into …

“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …
Employee of the Month
I saw previews for Employee of the Month a few months ago but never made an effort to rent it. It just didn’t look that good.
But, when it became available on Showtime, I decided to at least give it a chance. I wasn’t disappointed.
Like most movies that take place …
Prom Night movie
Prom Night was recently released out here in the United Kingdom and I decided to go and see it with a friend at my local Showcase Cinema in Walsall. I always enjoy a good cinema experience. The experience with friends, the laughs and the jokes and then of course …
The Forgotten
The Forgotten is a very weird and kind of spooky movie. It’s about alien abduction and it’s also very interesting how people were sucked into the sky in this movie. It was very strange and also scary at the same time. I think that the The Forgotten has a pretty …
Suspiria
I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
Director: Dennis Dugan. Featuring: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Rob Schneider and Emmanuelle Chriqui.
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. What really makes this movies great, is that beside the absolutely hilarious scenes that kept me laughing so hard I could barely breathe, it actually dealt …

Sin City
The movie Sin City is the prequel to the film SIn City 2. I can remmeber that some time before it was released in the year 2005, I would hear some of my schoolmates talking about it and saying that they were eager to see it in theatres. At …
Sahara movie
After the defeat in Tobruk in 1942, Joe Gunn leads his troops through the desert of Sahara to get away from Rommel’s army and reach his allied forces.
This film is completely lacking all form of intelligence. I doubt it’s even historically correct, because everything that happens seem so over-dramatized …
The Garden (NR, 2006) movie
This movie has the feel of a low-budget thriller. And at first I was reluctant to sit through an entire viewing. But since someone actually referred the movie to me, I gave it a chance. I am glad that I did. While I found …
Tyler Perry’s ‘The Family That Preys’ (movie)
I really didn’t know what to expect from this film when I first heard the name of it. Tyler Perry is best known for his comedies such as ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’ and ‘Meet the Browns’. I was really surprised today when I watched his 2008 film …
Zoolander movie
Zoolander is a funny yet a nice movie to learn a lesson.I like the film very much,its really funny and every scene is full humorous actions and speech.Ben stiller was great in playing Derek Zoolander,he really did make the character alive and believable.He’s acting as the silly and clumsy …
The Lion King
The Lion King is the greatest 2-D animated movie ever made in my opinion. The film has great characters and great messages peppered throughout the whole movie. This movie aroused everyone of my emotions. I found myself crying and laughing off and on the whole movie …
The Interview, movie
There aren’t many films that generate so much controversy as The Interview has done. Considering its premise it comes as no surprise that it would cause upset within North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is not exactly famed for having a self-deprecating sense of humour.
As is often the …
Maple Palm
This movie is quite full of drama genre. I watched it with my boyfriend last week. It is about a couple who are lesbians, but not only do they are looked down upon by society for their status, they also have a dirty little secret.
One of them …
Thor The Dark World (2013 Film)

Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
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 …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 6

Envy (2004)
I thought this movie was going to be hilarious, perhaps in a silly way, but very funny nevertheless. After all, it’s got Ben Stiller and Jack Black, come on, they know how to provide some good laughs! Well, it turns out that even these two funnymen can’t do much …
Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow
I love book to movie adaptations. That’s because, there is a certain kind of creativity that I can get whenever that happens. Watching Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow, I have a very fun time watching the performance acting by Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. In this movie, both …
Richie Rich (1994)
Taken from the pages of the comic strip and the TV series, this live action movie has won me over. Richie Rich is the richest child in the world who has any and everything that he wants or needs. The only problem to that situation is that he is …
Killjoy
When I let my daughter pick out the movie Killjoy for me and my wife (she’s four and picks movies based on the cover) I was a bit concerned it would be too scary for my pregnant spouse.
As it turns out, you can’t judge a DVD by its cover. …

Highly acclaimed science fiction series The X-Files makes it first venture onto the big screen, with Mulder and Scully becoming embroiled in even more shenanigans involving the villainous Syndicate and the dastardly alien invasion plot they’ve spent decades concealing from the public.
Ultimately, this movie is a successful venture for the …
Step Up 2 Movie
I didn’t like this movie as much as I liked the first one. This is the sequel to Step Up and I think one of the main reasons I liked that movie was because of Channing Tatum. In this sequel, Channing Tatum is only in the movie for like …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …
500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …
Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …

Annie Hall (1977)
This is a film that everyone associates with Woody Allen as it was so successful, winning four Academy Awards amongst others. It is very funny and always makes me laugh but Annie Hall was a turning point for Allen as he had now turned his back on the …
Ghoulies II movie
Because we had rented the first Ghoulies movie this weekend, my wife and I decided we should watch the second one too. And, we did, despite the fact we hated the first movie.
The sequel is surprisingly better than the first one. But, that really shouldn’t be saying much because …
Umrao Jaan
Watching Umrao Jaan brought tears to my eyes. This is a Hindi movie in Urdu, I think and if I’m not mistaken. I don’t speak Hindi language nor Urdu and it helps each time whenever I watch a movie of Hindi genre, or Bollywood, there will be subtitles. …
Mighty Ducks
I was watching movies last night on TV (the baby had a late night) and came across Mighty Ducks. God, I hate that movie and regret not being able to get the remote to change the channel.
When it first came out, I was in college near Minnesota and can …

Persona movie

The New Daughter movie 2009
On my rotten fruit throwing list, this one ranks pretty high, but it’s not the worst I hever ever seen.
