Zubeida (movie), 2001
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 …
Movie How to Deal
Once again, I have to admit, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Mandy Moore whenever I see her in a movie. And, this time it was on Lifetime.
Her film How to Deal is actually an interesting look into the mind of a teenager. She comes from a divorced …
The Maltese Falcon
I have seen dozens of mysteries but none of them compare to the movie The Maltese Falcon. Even though the movie was made 34 years before I was born, it is still the best murder mystery ever.
Humphrey Bogart is amazing as the detective Sam Spade. There’s nothing to not …

The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …
Paul Blart - Mall Cop
A friend had come over the other night and he had brought ‘Paul Blart - Mall Cop’ with him because I had wanted to see it for some time now but never had the opportunity to go see it when it came out in theaters. Overall, I am glad that …

The Detective movie
Frank Sinatra starred in this 1968 vehicle called The Detective. He plays Det. Sgt. Joe Leland. Now frankly I’m not fond of Sinatra’s serious roles. I do enjoy him in musicals and lighter fare, but I’ve never been a fan of his more earthy roles as …
Back to the Future Part 2
Sequels usually flop, unable to capture the magic of the original. Rare cases include Superman II and The Empire Strikes Back. Back to the Future Part 2 joins that rare class, mainly because it is told partly from within the first movie. The filmmakers incorporated scenes from the first …
Magician movie
One of Ingmar Bergman’s less known films from the late 50s includes most of his regular acting squad with Max von Sydow, Bibi Andersson and Erland Josephsson in the frontline in a story about a magician and his helpers travelling around the country to entertain rich people. When he …
Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.
I personally found the ‘iraqi’ scientist, the same actor that plays that dude in ‘Lost’, …
Fast Food Nation
Everyone already knows that fast food is bad for you. When it comes to movies, Supersize Me covered that quite thoroughly. But what if that hamburger wasn’t just packed with calories, but also possibly contained something far worse? That’s the premise, on the surface at least, of Fast Food …
Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray Movie
While there was excitement in getting the first and second Alien in BluRay, I only got this one, Alien 3, just to continue the collection. Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray is what I got. While I don’t watch it as much as I do the other Alien films, …
Happy Feet movie
I went to see the movie Happy Feet with my sister, brother-in-law, their kids, and a friend and her daughter. I wasn’t that big on the movie. I didn’t like it at all, in fact. Other than a good joke that was repeated so much that …

The Day The Earth Stood Still
Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …

Divergent (movie)
Divergent was one of those movies that I found really didn’t stand out enough for me to notice it at the time that it was released. I decided to watch it after several people told me it was a good science fiction movie even though I had my doubts about …

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008 Movie)
Though I’m not usually one for war-based dramas, this movie grabbed hold of my heart and broke it in two with one of the saddest endings I’ve seen in a long time. The story is simple; A young boy, Bruno, is forced to move from his peaceful home full …

10 Cloverfield Lane, movie
Given the name of the film and the crew behind it, one wouldn’t be wrong to think that this was somehow related to the found footage giant monster movie, “Cloverfield”.
You can tell that it isn’t a direct sequel, but I did figure it was some kind of spin-off. …
Foul Play movie
I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …

50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …

Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …

The Village (2004 Movie)

Film Beetlejuice
Few films are as wildly inventive as Tim Burton’s manic masterpiece Beetlejuice.
Telling the tale of Adam and Barbara (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), living in a small town and unable to have children, who are exiled after an unexpected death to live in their beautiful country home. It wouldn’t …
Robin Hood movie
If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it. The opening was depressing and vulgar, and it was anything from the bright and usually …
Grindhouse
Grindhouse had to be one of the most disappointing movies I have ever witnessed. This is not because the film was awful, just that it was (for lack of a better word) a firmly average film that did not really offer anything new to the horror genre. The idea …
Big Fish (movie)
One of my favourite movies up to a certain point in my life was the movie called “Big Fish”. The whole idea of it being my favourite was a little odd too, since I don’t think that I was able to watch it more than about three times whether …
Shrek the Third
I watched Shrek and Shrek 2 in DVDs, but for Shrek 3, I deservingly thinks that it’s worthwhile to watch in a movie theatre. So, the ones who watched were me, my boyfriend and my 2 brothers. My sister wasn’t interested, so she did not come.
The movie …
Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …
