Furious 7, starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson is a movie that had high expectations before its release, primarily due to Paul Walker’s death, half-way through the filming of the movie. In my opinion, the movies in the Fast & Furious series have been disappointing but Furious 7 …

I have been blessed to view the movie Gone with the Wind three times. Once, during an open-air film showing in our school. And twice after I graduated from college, where I felt fortunate to attend two showings of the film after the entire film was restored. …

I thought I would like this movie more than I did. The filming is extremely grainy. And while that might have added to the authentic feel, I found it intrusive. Additionally, Frances is quite a boring lady, even after she decides to leave her …

Tomorrowland was one of those movies that I was silly enough to be fooled into thinking was actually going to be good. After watching the trailer I thought, “This looks good. I wonder why I’m not hearing much about this movie”. After sitting through over two hours of it hoping …

The Armenian visionary filmmaker Sergei Parajanov is one of my favorite directors through all time. The Legend of Suram Fortress is one of his last films. The narrative is very complex and the visual style is like nothing else. The story is about an old armenian myth that took …

I prefer Netflix because I love being able to watch movies instantly online. I joined this site a few months at the $9.99 a month rate. I can usually get about 4-5 movies through the mail each month with this plan, if I return them within a day or two. …

Although I have always likes movies about superheroes in last few years I haven’t seen many good ones so I wasn’t expecting anything specially from Iron man either.
I know the story of Iron man because I saw so many cartoons about it and I have always liked them so …

I was a bit skeptical when Friday the 13th the 09 version was coming out. People didn’t hear much about it. And the cast was practically unheard of, which was a worry for all the fans of the series.
This movie is not as bad as I thought it was …

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 …

Babel had a lot to say and used intertwined stories to tell it. The movie was capable at discussing the narratives, often giving voice to those that aren’t often portrayed in movies. The Mexican housekeeper’s story is portrayed by her not being able to tell it. The Japanese teenager …

“Thunder Cats” was one of the cartoons I can remember watching with my cousins when I was still a young child, as, although the show was released in the mid to late eighties, one of our local television channels would bring it on weekday afternoons in the nineteen nineties. …

I love this movie! Management, starring one of my most favorite actress, Jennifer Aniston, is such a good movie. Alongside her is Steve Zahn and both of them have great chemistry together. I watched this movie and I thought it’s going to be a bad one, but surprisingly …

I was extremely skeptical, at first, about watching this movie. I am definitely one of those people that if something on t.v. or at the theater doesn’t catch my attention in the first ten or so minutes, it usually doesn’t manage to keep my attention to the end. And …

Harrison Ford in the role as the american president in this action-loaded film.

It is about Cars movie, the one from Disney Pixar. In the beginning,I thought it was just another kind of racing car cartoon for the children. Normally the story will be standard. But I was wrong. When my son watched it for the first time, I did not put …

I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …

You’ll find “Wake Up Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie” as a special feature in a double disk edition of the popular film “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.” The film tries to pass itself off as a sequel to the film, although as the film itself admits it …

This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …

Dinosaur is a great animated movie. This movie came out around 2000 or so. It’s most suitable for children or young teens but I think it can also be enjoyed by adults. I certainly enjoyed it. The scenery is breath taking. The animation is so good that it almost …

This movie is called Death At A Funeral and the title is very funny and tricky, and I knew it was going to be a comedy because almost all really good actors who play comedy are here like Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, Danny Glover, Keith David, Peter Dinklage, Tracy …

Stephen King has had many of his novels and short stories adapted into film versions, but perhaps none have been as disturbing and tragic as The Mist.

The story itself is both simple and unsettling; a small group of passengers awaken on a commercial plane midflight to find the …

This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …

Scorsese depicted Howard Hughes’ …

Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …

I first watched this movie was on dvd with my little cousins. It was quite interesting with the nice dancing and singing. The storyline was pretty good. One thing I didn’t really understand was how Mumble, the main penguin went back his own specific colony of penguins, but I …

I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …

I first heard about this movie from Oprah when she featured it in her show and some of the cast members sang. It interested me because eventhough I’m not a big Beatles fan, I do love musicals. So I rented a DVD and watched it. Anyway Oprah said its …
