A Knight’s Tale (2001)a 14th century action/comedy/romance (Rated PG-13 for action violence, some nudity and brief sex-related dialogue)
I got this movie as a gift, and I wasn’t too sure about it. My first response was, “Yet another version of Camelot”. The gift giver replied, “But Rufus Sewell is in …
Kung Fu Panda
I was really excited about this movie right before it was shown in theaters. Because just the thought of a Panda doing Kung Fu? his weight, clumsiness, and incredibly large tummy and the dream of becoming a Kung Fu master.It’s quite hilarious right?How would someone be doing Kung Fu …
The Usual Suspects movie
I just watched the movie “The Unsual Suspects” last week on a bootleg DVD someone had of it, so I’m not completely sure what quality the actual DVD would be. I heard a lot of good things about this movie before I actually got to watch it, one of …
8 MM (1999)
I did not enjoy all the scenes I saw in this movie but for me this movie is a good one because it teaches the viewers that there are things that are totally disagreeable in the hiding. It also gives us the idea that things are not …

The Comebacks
I don’t ever remember seeing the movie “The Comebacks” advertising to be released in theatres. In fact, thinking about it now I realized I must have, but at the time I probably thought that it was just one of the many sports movie dramas which were being released at …
The Day After Tomorrow
Director Ronald Emmerich has given us some of the most adored Hollywood blockbusters such as Independence Day and Godzilla but his new venture “The Day After Tomorrow” is not up to par with his earlier work. In this flick he uses the most sought after object of the present …
Happy feet movie
The movie is so awesome! It maybe cartoons but made with very decent graphics! I love the flow of the story; it’s about an outcast penguin in Antartica..Wait who wants to be an outcast anyways? But it happens everywhere. In this movie, they are flock of penguins and one …

And the movie starts off with a battle between Team Jacob and Team Edward. Thank you Vampires Suck for starting things off not so right and it continues with Edward getting fully naked and a disco ball is his penis—¦oh man all the vampires look it too. The fun …
Movie Mobsters
Mobsters with Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey, Richard Grieco, Costas Mandylor, and Anthony Quinn.
With this group of limited actors, I never gave this movie a chance. Perhaps I was wrong. The movie is based upon the early years of four soon to be infamous …
House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …
The Secret Life of Bees movie
I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …
The Aviator (2004)
I watched the movie “The Aviator” a couple years ago when I had either just graduated from high school or was still in high school. I can remember not wanting to watch it at first since I thought that it was probably going to be a little boring and …
Howl’s Moving Castle (Movie 2004)
Howl’s Moving Castle is one of the most romantic, magical and amusing movies that Studio Ghibli has produced. I was in my grade school years when I first watched Howl’s Moving Castle and I never really understood what the whole story was about. Now, several years later (I’m already …
Drive 2011 film
Before seeing this movie in the theater, I’d never heard of Nicolas Winding Refn. The film surprised me, and pleasantly so.
Keep in mind that when I say pleasantly, I mean brutally. To some these words may be interchangeable. I’d advise you to avoid such individuals. “Drive” was one of …
Never Been Kissed 1999 movie
Never Been Kissed, with Drew Barrymore, is, in a word, cute. The premise (shy girl gets to go back to high school and try again as part of a newspaper assignment) is fun and resonates with the part of me that knows a lot more than I did when …
Happy Feet
I took my 10yr old grandson to see ‘Happy Feet’ during the Christmas holidays. We couldn’t get in to see the movie we wanted to see so settled for that one. Came out clicking our heels. Well, I did. He’s not a kid who likes the turtles or action …
Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …
Battle L.A. Movie
I had not heard much about Battle L.A., which is surprising because it is the current big blockbuster alien movie and that usually means millions of dollars in advertising. The only advertising I have seen for this film is some posters in subway stations. The posters explain the basic …
A Bug’s Life
When it comes to Pixar, this film is one of my least favorites. It’s a cute movie with a good heart and message, but it just doesn’t make me interested in watching it more than once or twice a year. Not even my son has showed interest and he …
The FBI Story movie
The FBI Story is a really wonderful movie starring James Stewart as a man who decides to become an FBI agent. He has high ideals and he wants to act on them. These are the early days of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and through Stewart’s character, …

Movie Pretty in Pink
I must admit that recently I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and watched “Pretty in Pink”. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies for Molly Rigward along with “Sixteen Candles”. According to certain reviews, it also seems to be Molly Rigward …

Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait movie
Columbo: Murder, a Self Portrait opens at the basset hound club. I’m laughing and having a good time already. They showed a lot of the different competitions during the opening credits. The dress up category had prisoner bassets, Sherlock Holmes bassets, and flamingo bassets. What a …
Waydowntown movie
I rented this film because the premise, I thought, was great: (4) employees at some drab corporate company make a wager on who can remain indoors (the entire downtown “hub” is connected by a series of enclosed walkways) for 6 months. It seems like a quirky, …
Spider-man (2002)
One of the few comic book remakes into a like action movie that was good to me. Spider-man played by Tobey Maguire, is so believable and so imaginative, it is amazing. This movie shows how he gained his spider powers, although, in the comic, he gained his powers in …

Movie : World of Silence
World of Silence is another suspense/horror/drama film from the land of South Korea. This one is a favorite of mine and I am really glad I watched it. While it wasn’t at all what I was expecting to see, I am glad that it was completely different. …
Movie Wednesday
Exceptionally good movie that is all I want to say about this one. The debutant director, Neeraj Pandey did very good job by presenting such a thoughtful movie to the Indian film industry. Keeping in mind that this is his first movie, his efforts should be applauded. Everything was …
Return of the Jedi
In the third installment of the original Star Wars triology was the Return of the Jedi. I think that this was one exciting movie.

The movie Toy Story 2

The movie did not let me down either. I …

Final Destination 3 movie
When I saw the previews for Final Destination 3, I remember thinking the producers were overkilling on an otherwise great franchise. When I watched the movie on DVD, I found I was right.
The plot of the movie seemed a bit forced and was confusing from the start. Beginning with …
