500 Days of Summer movie
I rented 500 days of summer knowing nothing about it except that it starred Joseph Gordon Levitt who is best known for playing the Alien, Tommy on the sitcom “Third Rock From the Sun,” and Zooey Deschanel. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie, but found …
Bewitched (2005 movie)
The single most dullest movie i’ve seen this year…It’s a complete flop. Some TV series are better off not being made into movies, and the cast was all wrong, so, so wrong. Not only is this film a bore but it’s also annoying (what’s with the blondes jumping up …
Movie Mirrors
Starring: Keifer Sutherland (Ben Carson), Paula Patton (Amy Carson), Cameron Boyce (Michael Carson), Erica Gluck (Daisy Carson), Amy Smart (Angela Carson), Mary Beth Peil (Anna Esseker)
This movie follows roughly the storyline of a Korean movie that I’ve seen 2 or 3 years back (Into the Mirror). …
Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is the hilarious chronicle of the making of a movie about Vietnam where the director is ‘inspired’ to take his cast deep into the Vietnam jungle so that they can capture the movie in real time and give it a ‘gritty’ feel to the entire drama. It has …
I Am Legend DVD
I am Legend is very much a one man show with lead actor Will Smith on great form in undeniably his best screen performance to date. Overhyped? almost definately, but despite this the end result is ultimately rewarding.
So what’s it all about ? Emma …
Hail, Caesar! (2016 Film)
2016 has proven to be a dull year for movies. That’s just my opinion but at this point in time last year, we already got the super amazing action flick Mad Max: Fury Road as well as the state-of-the-art thought-provoking animation flare Inside Out. This year we got an intense …
Kentucky Fried Movie
I was a teenager when I first saw the Kentucky Fried Movie and I remember thinking how it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
Now, when I watch it, I still think it’s mildly entertaining but it’s not one that I’m overly impressed by.
The whole concept of …
Past the Bleachers
Past the Bleachers is a poignant and wonderful 1995 TV movie that starred Richard Dean Anderson and Glynnis O’Connor as parents trying to move on with their lives after their son had died. It’s a trying time. The two are trying to have another baby, but Anderson’s …
Man of the House movie
I absolutely adore Man of the House, which is a simple romantic comedy from 1995 which stars Chevy Chase, Farrah Fawcett, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who was probably the biggest child star of the 90’s, at least on television. In this film, Thomas plays Ben Archer, whose father …
Underdog movie
I’ve been wanting to see the movie Underdog but never got around to doing that until very recently. I have to say it was worth watching.
My daughter and I were waiting for my wife to get home from work when this came on one of the cable channels. My …
Everybody Wins
Everybody Wins with Nick Nolte, Debra Winger, Will Patton, and Jack Warden.
I have to admit that I only watched this movie because it featured sexy Debra Winger. There is an animal attraction about her that comes across on the big screen. In this movie, …
Transporter 3 (2008)
The third time is definitely not the charm as in relates to the Transporter franchise, they should have stooped at the first one, but it seems that everyone sees the need to make a trilogy these days. This time around, Frank played by Jason Statham, is accidentally thrown into …
Pete’s Dragon
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Pete’s Dragon. Pete is a little boy who lives with a terrible family. He’s an orphan. He runs away. He has a friend, though…a big, gigantic, green one. His friend happens to be a dragon named Elliot, and Elliot helps him escape from …
The Darling Buds of May
I had never heard of the British TV series “The Darling Buds of May” until I saw a DVD set available at our local library. Now that I have watched it, I can’t help wondering why this show is so little known; it turned out to be so good.
Based …
The David Lynch Interview Project
Thanks to the wonder of the internet, I have discovered via following David Lynch’s news updates on Facebook and Twitter that in between his mind-boggling films which tend to be about 5 years apart, Lynch’s artistic juices continue to flow and he produces sculptures, paintings, promotes music and then …

Rock of Love with Bret Michaels
Rock of Love with Bret Michaels is now in it’s second season on VH1. I got hooked on the first season because of the complete crazy chicks that were competing for his “love.” It was like a guilty pleasure that I almost felt shame for watching. …
The Happening (2008)
The Happening (2008)
Director: M. Night Shyamalan. Featuring: Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel.
I do not remember the last time I have been so disappointed by a movie. Although the trailer had revealed the story right away, there was still some kind of sense of mystery or intrigue that made me …
Sharknado 2: The Second One (movie)
I don’t remember seeing Sharknado 2 advertise, but when I saw the trailer for its prequel Sharknado for the very first time I was convinced the entire thing had to be a joke or one of those bad Syfy movies even with all the so-called rave reviews it had …
Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …
Hatchet Movie
Hatchet is without a doubt the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. People kept telling me to watch the remake of Halloween or a film from the After Dark series, or even one of the foreign horror movies, but nothing kept my attention like Hatchet did. …
Hunger Games - Catching Fire, movie

Hatchet
Hatchet is a horror movie about a group of people on a tour boat who become stranded in the middle of a swamp and run into a deformed murderer. The plot is pretty straightforward. It is typical horror movie fare. I think that anyone, when renting a movie …

Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel. I grew up watching Disney’s second Golden Age, so I watched “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Mulan”, and so many other masterpieces in addition to their creations during the first Golden …

Unfaithful film
Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL is a film not for the faint of heart. That is not to say that it is in some way gruesome or graphically gory. It’s sentimentally hard to watch. In UNFAITHFUL, Diane Lane’s character Connie’s motivation for infidelity is not thoroughly or intellectually explored. She appears …
The Pacifier movie
I really love this movie. Its a fresh role for Vin Diesel, I love how much he acted on this movie. I really love the comedy with all the military discipline he was trying to rule over the children. I really like it so much since its really very …

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010 Movie)
This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …
Bride Wars movie
‘Bride Wars’ is the movie where the main stars, Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson dream to marry at the Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately I expected much more from this movie. I feel that the script lacked a certain amount of magic and there weren’t enough funny moments as expected.
In —˜Bride …
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 …
Casablanca movie
Of all the black and white films, this one is the best. In fact, many people consider Casablanca the best film of all time, and for a good reason. I myself can agree to this. The dialogue alone is so crisp, and no doubt about it, …
