The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …

The Other Boelyn Girl
The interesting thing about movies based on the life of a real historical figure is you sometimes get a point of view that is different than you would come to expect. And, that difference makes the movie much better than you expected it to be.
The Other Boleyn Girl is …

Enter The Dragon Movie
Enter The Dragon is probably my favorite martial arts film of all time. I think that the master Bruce Lee really showed people how it is done in this movie. The story is starts and beautiful China where Bruce Lee practices Kung Fu in the great Shaolin Temple. I just …
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.
In my opinion the …
Showgirls movie
Showgirls is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. A lot of critics disagree and call this one of the worst movies ever made. But the movie has become a cult classic now. I love the movie because it’s one of the only mainstream movies to have lots …
The Grey (movie)
Recently I have found it to be more challenging to find suspense and thriller movies that I genuinely love that are set in some form of real life situations. What I ended up doing recently since I felt the urge to watch one was read a blog entry which …
Autopsy movie 2008
Autopsy is a film from After Dark, aka the famous After Dark Horrorfest films that release “8 films to die for” every year for the last few years. I generally find their films to be of better quality than the usual“B”horror movies that are available. This one …
Donnie Darko movie
The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …
Inspector Gadget: A star is lost
My daughter was watching Inspector Gadget (on DVD) when I got home for lunch today so I ended up watching the episode “A Star is Lost” with her.
This one is actually quite funny.
Like most other Inspector Gadget episodes, Gadget is trying to stop MAD from committing some major crime. …
What’s New Scooby Doo Monstrous Tails
My daughter loves the newer Scooby Doo episodes. So, when she wanted to rent a movie last weekend, we ended up picking up a movie that featured several episodes “Monstrous Tails.”
And, after watching it with her probably about three dozen times over the past week, I have to say …
1408 movie
1408 (2007) is based upon a Stephen King story starring John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. This is a supernatural story that really leaves you to think about the supernatural. In other words if there really are spirits out there are they going to mess with you? …
Ella Enchanted
I love Ella Enchanted. There’s a beautiful cast for this movie and they consist of Minnie Driver, Hugh Dancy, Anne Hathaway especially and many more.
Anne plays the character of Ella and this movie is something like Enchanted. In fact, this movie was made first prior to …
Thunder Cats
“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. …
Dark Man movie
When I first saw Dark Man, I thought it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. After watching it a second time, I still think it\’s good, but have a less favorable impression of it.
The best thing I like about the movie is the concept. A scientist …
Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian
Although this movie had been aired for quite some time in the cinema, I haven’t had the time to watch the movie until recently. I watched the first part, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and I find the storyline very interesting. That is why I watched …
The Cat in the Hat
I have never read the book The Cat in the Hat. I have read the sequel to it. But, the original is one I just have never had available to me; either as a kid or as a parent.
So, when I watched the animated Cat in the Hat film …
Van Helsing movie
An insane mix of all horror stories that involves Count Dracula, Frankenstein and werewolves. Van Helsing is the historian and philosopher who is an expert on vampires and is given the secret mission of killing Count Dracula in Transylvania. If it ended with that the story might have been …
Movie 2001 Maniacs
I thought this movie was so weird, so gross, and so disturbing. And yet, I couldn’t stop watching it.
In the beginning it’s just creepy. I mean, the town is so weird, anf the people are freakishly happy to see these kids. You pretty much get a bad feeling about …
Mrs. Doubtfire
A lovable, but irresponsible father of three finds himself torn away from his three kids after a messy divorce. Desperate to see them more the occasional Saturday granted by the judge, Daniel (Robin Williams) goes to extreme lengths, donning the convincing disguise of an elderly Scottish woman, getting the …
Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
Who can forget the legend of Sleepy Hollow? And after watching the 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the blood and gore of the film (and the headless horsemen of course) make it difficult to. Though this film was made in the 90’s, and technology …
No entry
Just a few months back I watched a new movie called No entry. This movie is a Hindi movie and it is very popular and many or most of the people those who have watched have liked it a lot. This movie is a very nice story, …
Columbo: No Time to Die movie
There were a string of these Columbo movies that really just didn’t quite cut the mustard for me, and this was one of them. I’m not sure what the problem was. Perhaps it’s the lack of star power, that really charismatic murderer that grabbed your attention and …

Beerfest DVD
Many movies are made in the comedy section each year. Most of them are the same type of comedy and recycle old jokes. When you find that one movie, that made you cry of laughter… you want to tell people and spread the word about it. For me, the …
Movie: You’re in the Army Now
Since it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend I had an opportunity to watch a lot of military movies. One of them was the comedy “You’re in the Army Now.”
This movie, which starred Phil Silvers and Jimmy Durante as a couple of sales people who wind up in …
Guardians of the Galaxy (science fiction movie)
Before the movie was released I knew nothing about the Marvel comic or even the animated series. Therefore, it was totally new to me when I saw the trailer for the very first time and didn’t know what to expect. After watching it though, I’m definitely surprised by how good …
Happy Feet
From Memphis to Norma.. this movies got it all!If you’re a music lover then this movie is for you! It has all genres of music. The dialogues are witty and of course it also gets quite sentimental at times (pass me a tissue!), but overall its time and money …
NCG Cinemas
I always go to the NCG Cinemas when I am at my parents house. The NCG theatre is a great experience for movie watchers because the theatre is clean, cheaper than most theatres, and unique.
The cinemas is located hidden off a main road in Acworth. …
Once Bitten (1985)
This is yet another great vampire movie that has more comedic appeal than that of the horror kind. Starring a very young Jim Carrey, he is the object of desire by a female vampire. She targets him and is in the process of converting him mortal flesh into that …
Perfect Nanny movie
I watched Perfect Nanny the other day on Lifetime movie network. They had a event going on called “the perfect sunday”. The main actress in this movie did a wonderful job, I think she played her part very well. She did an amazing job playing the “crazy nanny”. This …
Destroying Angel movie
I am reviewing the movie, Destroying Angel, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles. This movie was made in 2001, was produced by Brian True-May, and was based off the novels of author Caroline Graham.
In this film, poison is the key. When a local man is found murdered in the …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
RomeoXJuliet TV Anime Series
RomeoXJuliet is an anime that is loosely based off The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It takes the basic elements of the original story and turns it into something unique that you can only find in an anime, but it still retains the core theme …

Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …
Four Christmases movie
Four Christmases is a mediocre holiday tale about a couple with a tradition of scheduling trips to avoid spending Christmas with their families. But when extreme fog cancels their flight, Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are forced to attend four Christmas celebrations.
An interesting aspect of this movie …
Blank Check movie
I completely forgot about this movie until some time recently when I was having a discussion with a few of my friends about children’s movies from the nineteen nineties. The name of the movie Blank Check came up and I decided to write about it. It was not my …

Bewitched’s Broom Stick Plummets
Don’t waiste your time with this movie! As Hollywood runs out of ideas their next genuis is to disgrace the name of American classics. First of all, Nicole Kidman (Samantha), although however a brilliant actress she has been, is boring and unoriginal in this movie. All her movements and …

Dragonball Evolution
I can’t really figure out why this movie was made. Dragonball’s popularity peaked years ago and the concept itself is something that flat out just doesn’t transition well to live action.
Having been DBZ fans in high school, my roommate and I decided to check it out. …
The Outer Limits : “Essence of Life” episode
As I skimmed through the episodes of The Outer Limits on DVD, I ran across one that was only slightly less nauseating than some of the others. In “Essence of Life”, a mysterious vial of liquid possesses the ability to “reincarnate” the image of the deceased, if sniffed …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (movie)
“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” came out back when I was still in high school. I heard the name mentioned a couple of times, but I never actually took the time out to either search for what it was about or even watch the trailer. I remember one or two …
