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 …
Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …

Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …

Bio Dome
When I think back to the movies made in the 1990s, I can think of quite a few good ones. And, then I can think of ones made by Pauley Shore that weren’t so good but still somewhat entertaining.
Shore will never win any awards for his performance in the …

30 Days of Night Movie
Yesterday, I bought the movie ‘30 Days of Night’. I had wanted to see it since it came out in the theaters but hadn’t because I wasn’t sure it’d be worth it. So I decided I’d wait until it was out on DVD and buy it.
I like Josh Harnett. …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I’ve been eying this movie since it was released in the U.S. last December. So, when it’s finally showed here in our area I did not hesitate to watch. Well, the trailer itself would give you some curiosity what is the movie all about. Actually, I haven’t read the …
Where Got Ghost? movie
Jack Neo label it as Hor-medy. There are a total of 3 stories in this movie and I would say that the stories are short enough but not that bad in making me laugh.
I enjoyed at least 2 of the stories and in a way, it’s not …
Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (movie)
I was expecting something a little bit more “comprehensive” and less “jumpy.” I got that Melvin Van Peebles wanted to make a film that would address some of the ills affecting the black community following civil rights. But his choice in using a sex performer named …
Sixteen Candles
What is interesting about teen movies is the fact that every time period is associated to a film. Now a days is “High School Musical” period, but in the 80’s they had “Sixteen Candles” which was a smashing hit at the time.
This movie definitely marked the beginning of …

The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.

Surrogates (Movie)
I thought this movie was going to be good, but it is tastefully overexaggerated. The movie is all about people using robots as surrogates to live in the world, and it features Bruce Willis as Tom Greer, his wife Rosamund Pike as Maggie, Radha Mitchell as Peters, James Cromwell …
Darkness (horror movie)
I thought that I’d watched all the movies with Anna Paquin in it until I saw another one recently on cable television. It was a horror movie named “Darkness”, which I noticed didn’t have a very good rating on neither the cable television guide nor IMDB. Nevertheless, sometimes I …

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Movie

I found the …
Sunset Boulevard (1950) Movie
I love this classic old black and white movie and watch it every time it comes on TV. Directed by Billy Wilder (who also directed the fabulous Some Like it Hot amongst others), it tells the story of fictional silent movie star, Norma Desmond - played very melodramatically …
8 mm movie
I am the real movie watcher, I watch a lot. I have chosen this film because I am a huge psychological/detective movies lover. When I choose to watch that film I did not read any review, I even did not know what about it will be.

I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …
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 …
World War Z (movie)
I’m generally not really a fan of zombie movies, especially those apocalyptic ones that detail what the end of the world would be like if a great part of the human race were turned into bloodthirsty zombies. However, when the movie World War Z was released I found that …

FLCL
The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …
