Lord of War Movie Staring Nicholas Cage
Since the genre of movies I am inclined with the most seems to have hit a rut that it is now stuck in (horror), my shift is moving more towards those movies that involve some sort of quest for economic prowess and financial freedom, with the nitty-gritty being displayed …

My Name is Bruce movie
When my wife and I sat down to watch the movie My Name is Bruce Saturday afternoon, I wasn’t really expecting much of it. I figured a film about Bruce Campbell playing himself and fighting real monsters would end up being a bit too corny and farfetched for me.
But, …
The Dark Knight
The Dark Night lives up to all of the hype surrounding its release and deserves the overwhelming amount of money it earned. The open sequence is a perfect introduction to the main villain of the movie, the Joker. A bank heist …
Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
Shaun of the Dead
Oh how I love this movie !! It is one of the best comedies out there. It would be great for a Halloween get together night. This has Simon Pegg and Kate Ashfield in it. I try and catch it whenever it’s on tv, but I may just have …

Baby Mama
I’ve seen plenty of movies about giving birth before. But, I have to admit the film Baby Mama was one that offered a unique take on the miracle of life.
Rather than your typical husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend having a baby movie, this film features an adventure involving a surrogate mother …

Up In The Air Movie
I was interested in watching this movie basically because I was curious of the title, but I was not able to watch it until it got released on cable TV and I was lucky to click on the right channel as it was about to start. It turned out …
Batman Begins Movie
The previous four films about Batman seemed to have presented everything that the comics that they were based upon and filmed had to offer. First the unsurpassed art-favorite Tim Burton carried the great adventures of the superhero in “Batman” (1989) and “Batman Returns” (1992), followed by Joel Schumacher who …
Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X)
Rurouni Kenshin or Samurai X is a great anime which focuses on the life of a samurai who was the most dangerous manslayer about 30 years ago but turned good after realizing his mistakes. The story starts when Kenshin meets Kaoru, a kendo teacher who believed that the sword …
Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …
Cold Storage movie 2006
I rented the movie Cold Storage because I am a fan of horror films. Even the bad ones can sometimes yield some humor so I rarely bother to read reviews before I choose them. This film was made in 2006 and set in Tennessee. I will start by …
Prince of Persia:The Sands of Time Movie (2010)
I haven’t really played the game Prince of Persia when I was little, though I used to remember seeing my little brother play it, I saw the effects and had actually tried playing it once but I had a hard time with it, I was getting killed most of …
Hannah Montana 3D Movie
Before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter kept saying she wanted Hannah Montana tickets. Well, that was something that wasn’t going to happen, so I thought. There were no concerts coming to our area and even if there were, I heard tickets were almost impossible to get. …
Teeth Movie
Teeth is this incredibly odd little movie that is partly a horror movie and part something I don’t know. I watched it, expecting it to be a straight horror movie with a little humor thrown in. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I couldn’t tell you …
The Internship (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was a comedy named “The Internship” starring the popular comedy actors Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. While I didn’t think that it was the funniest movie that I had seen recently, I still thought that it was interesting and light-hearted …
Music of the Heart (1999)
Based on actual events, this movie shows to viewers that you can find hope in any situation once there is resolve to stand strong and believe. Take this movie for example, when a music department is cut from the school due to the lack of budget resources, they teacher …
Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …
Inkheart
Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …
Feature Film “The Hamiltons”
I have recently decided to allow netflix, the online movie rental company to chose my movies for me. I tell it which movies I enjoyed and it makes recommendations. I enjoyed Ginger Snaps and Session 9 and it gave me the hamiltons as a suggestion. I …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Shadow of Malevolence
I’ve been enjoying the Clone Wars cartoon not so much because it is Star Wars but because it’s hard to find anything which feels like epic Science Fiction, and Shadow of Malevolence, the third episode in the season, manages to get that feel of a big universe better than …
The Last Airbender Movie (2010)
There was too much gossip and too much type before this movie was even screened and I didn’t really like these type of movies as I don’t like all those Qi stuff, but I still watched this as I would always give something the benefit of the doubt and …

Movie 2001 Maniacs
I thought this movie was so weird, so gross, and so disturbing. And yet, I couldn’t stop watching it.
In the beginning it’s just creepy. I mean, the town is so weird, anf the people are freakishly happy to see these kids. You pretty much get a bad feeling about …
Avatar in Digital 3D
I wanted to write about Avatar while it’s still fresh in my mind. I watched it on December 24, 2009 for a hefty fee of $14.99 (that’s how much it costs to watch a full-blown digital 3D movie these days). On second thought, this cost is not …
Friends sitcom
I love Friends! Who doesn’t?? This is the best of the best sitcom ever! The stories are really funny and relates to everyday life of people with friends. This sitcom does not tell about those too rich kids who can’t do nothing without their …
Tropic Thunder
When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …
“Shutter Island” movie
Another movie from under the hand has the duo Martin Scorsese - Leonardo DiCaprio is a screen adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s novel a great “Island of the condemned.” To a hospital for mentally ill offenders located on an island cut off from the world comes two policemen (one of …
RV the movie
I am watching this movie on satellite television as I write this review. For what it is this is not a bad movie. Robin Williams stars in RV, a family movie about a man who takes his family on a road trip in a rented RV. I normally do not …

When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …

Cadillac Records
This movie was actually pretty good. Most of the main characters managed to capture the essence of the lives they were supposed to play, but some did not. Mos Def played Chuck Berry and did an outstanding job portraying one of the pioneers of what we now know as …
Kung Fu Hustle movie
For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
The Good Lie (drama film)
Actually found out about the movie “The Good Lie” by accident. I didn’t know it existed until I saw a trailer for the movie right in passing before it was set to air on HBO. Therefore, I recorded it and I was able to watch it in the comfort of …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
Fantasia (Disney)
Disney’s Fantasia is one of the best animated films ever made. I remember watching this film as a kid and being amazing. I think everyone who is a Disney fan should have this film in their collection. From my personal view I can that this movie is well worth the …
The Descent movie
I find that recently I am developing a great love of Quentin Tarantino. Not for his movie, mind you. I think have enjoyed many of the movies he has made, but more recently my fondness for him has come in his great choices of movies to import and distribute …
