Three monkeys movie
The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …
An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …

We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens.

Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …

Point Break DVD - Pure Adrenaline Edition
Point Break was the movie Patrick Swayze did right after Ghost. He wanted something totally different from the leading man persona he’d been in that film, and boy did he get it. In Point Break, Swayze stars as Bodhi, a surfer guru, who comes in contact with …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, vigilante film
Everything about this movie makes no sense. You have a bunch of Italian mobsters who act like flaming retards. The second hand of the mob looks like an idiot with his puffy hair and he talks sort of like an actor who is trying to talk like an Italian. …
Quatermass and the Pit movie
In an ancient pit in London, something is found by archeologists. This is first believed to be some kind of bomb, but traces indicate that the pit is too old for that. A professor has another theory, which at first is laughed at, but perhaps the pit wasn’t dug …
The Devil & Daniel Webster Movie
You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …
The Nude Bomb
I have never watched the show Get Smart; even though it has been on television in re-runs for decades. Yet, for some reason, when I saw the movie based on the series “The Nude Bomb,” I figured I would watch it.
I didn’t even get halfway through it before I …

Shutter Movie
I have seen this movie last April,2008. I knew that it was a horror movie but I never thought that it would be such a shocker.

Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie
I skipped this film in theaters because I wasn’t sure that I could sit through two hours of watching people pretend that a Real Doll (sex doll) was really the girlfriend of a local man. I realized upon watching this movie that I was right in my decision …
Mary, Queen of Scots movie
Mary, Queen of Scots is a great movie about the Queen who held her ground and took on England and anyone else who dared defy her. Vanessa Redgrave plays Mary, and she is super in this role. I had to watch this movie in one of my history classes …
Sliders Third Season DVD
Before I go into the show itself featured on this DVD collection, I have to say something about the packaging. The packaging for the first and second seasons DVD collection of Sliders was nothing to write home about, but at least it was serviceable. Sliders Third Season …
A Christmas Story (movie)
What strikes me as the main appeal of a Christmas story isn’t that it is a Christmas movie. It’s a story of youth, family and friends, with extra helpings of nostalgia (try eating that, Randy!).
The 40’s is captured brilliantly-the products surround the parkers, Higbee’s department store, the time of …
Revanche (2008): film
“Revanche” is an Austrian film that was nominated for a best foreign film Oscar two years ago. It came out in 2008, but I only got to see it last night by mere accident, without knowing anything about it. And I loved it. It had a satisfactory amount of …
Source Code 2011 Movie
I watched this movie only once, but it made a rather big impression on me nonetheless, and I would like to describe this impression below.

The Baader-Meinhof Complex movie
I suppose watching The Baader-Meinhof Complex has totally alerted me to appreciate movie making of this genre very much. This is quite a deep movie and I have a certain analysis after watching it. In a world now where there are issues of terrorism and many more, watching …
The Shining
Steven King’s The Shining is probably the most horrifying movie ever made. I just love this film. The Shining scares me till this day. And I get freaked out by it every time I see it. This is a movie that has scared people for years.
I think Jack Nichalson did …
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) Movie
I just recently saw the movie Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. It is a finnish movie and it rates as 6.9/10 in IMDB that is why I decided to see it. I like foreign films and this looks quite interesting for me. The title itself boggled me for a …
Sex and Death 101 DVD Movie
Alright, before you get too skeptical about the DVD title movie, Sex and Death 101, let me tell you that this movie is actually pretty harmless, minus all the ‘racy’ scenes, which I’m not interested at all. I just love the comedic storyline and here is it.
Simon Baker …
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
This movie is taken from a popular video game and made into a live action movie and strange enough as it may be, it made the transition into real life without a hitch or a glitch in the system. People loved it and they love the lead character played …

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 …

A walk to Remember
I’d watched this movie when I was in college together with my college friends.

Ridgmar Movie Tavern

I decided to give Ridgmar …
Rachel Getting Married movie
The entire movie felt like an indie film from start to finish. The script was refreshing, the cinematography was very basic yet effective and the cast was not that famous but still lived up to their roles. I never liked Anne Hathaway and her character as Kym only solidified …
Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
Mash the movie
The movie MASH is a classic and has only been outdone by the television series that spun off from it. It’s one of the best war movies ever made.
The movie has just the right amount of comedy and drama to be enjoyable to everyone who watches it, both young …
Bed of Roses
The movie “Bed of Roses” represents an attempt from Christian Slater to make another movie similar to “Untamed Heart”. This movie came at a time where Slater wanted to move on with his acting career and leave his past bad boy image behind him. Through this movie Slater failed …

Dr. Strangelove (1964 movie)
I decided to watch this black comedy because one of my friends at school simply would not stop talking about it, I mean I’d never seen one of my friends so transfixed on a movie before. However, after seeing it myself I certainly understood his enthusiasm. This movie is …
Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …
Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …
Movie The Kingdom
It is a true pity that the movies “The Kingdom” and “Rendition” were released in the same year. I feel that these are both true exceptional movies with a great message to send across to humanity; however they will end up being compared with each other.
These movies tackle …
Touch of Evil movie
Next to Citizen Kane probably the most successful film by Orson Welles. A Mexican agent played by Charlton Heston gets involved in some kind of conspiration, and something leads him the think the man behind it all is a police detective played by Orson Welles himself.
Welles uses a brilliant …
