Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …
Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …
Dark Knight
You know, i normally like Batman movies but I’m not sure the film Dark Knight was all it was hyped-up to be.
Like many people said, Heath Ledger does an outstanding job as the joker. There are times he’s so crazy in this film I think the role is being …
Batman Dark Knight
I’m not really a big fan of the “Batman Series” but this film “Batman Dark Knight” is one great movie, I was blown away by the actors acting abilities,the story itself and of course the director because this would also not be possible without him,(Applause)Christopher Nolan. For me this …
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013 movie)
Oz The Great and Powerful tries so hard to be epic. It has a very entertaining feeling. There are aspects of the movie that are brilliant and there were things that I thought needed some work. Sometimes I thought the pacing of the film was a little off and …
STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …

Goodfellas is a classic mafia film directed by Martin Scorsese, it was originally meant to be titled Wise Guy, the same title as the nonfiction book the film is based on written by Nicholas Pileggi. The film stars Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Ray Liotta. Liotta plays as …
A ma Soeur (drama movie)
As someone who has some interest in film, I always find it especially fascinating to read up on the accomplishments of female movie directors. I found the movie “A ma Soeur” as it is named in French by doing research on the French director Catherine Breillat. Between being curious about …
The Interrogation movie
Swedish thriller about the decorated officer Carl Hamilton who is called in to the headquarters to be questioned about his political views. Apparantly his superiors have reason to think he’s somehow connected with communism, which does not suit the swedish government. Hamilton denies this, but the interrogrators will not …

“Ted” movie
I’m not a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane. I used to like “Family Guy”, but eventually grew tired of it to the point where even the early seasons aren’t as enjoyable as I remember them. “The Cleveland Show” was just awful from the start and, while I’ve …
Movie “The Lazarus Project” (2008)
This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …
Pirates of the Caribbean,Dead Man’s Chest
This movie had it all: action, adventure, humor and more! Ths movie told a good story, kept you entertained in the process and left you wanting more. Three of us ranging from 12-40 years old went and each one of us walked out saying the same thing; that was …
Movie Blond Ambition
To put everything in a short sentence, “Blond Ambition” is a very cheap copy of Reese Whiterspoon success movie “Legally Blond”. It is to no surprise to me that it went straight to DVD release.
The interesting fact about both movies that is that Luke Wilson stars in both of …
Man of Steel (movie)
One of the movies that I wanted to watch for a long time was “Man of Steel” even before the trailer was released and I heard that a new superman movie was going to be made. While I wasn’t completely familiar with the person who directed it, I do …
The Others movie

When a Stranger Calls
When a Stranger Calls is a very engaging thriller movie which gives enough chills to the viewer to make it a winning fare. This movie is the remake of an old movie with the same title. It is the story of an young student, Jill, and the experiences she …
Vice, Movie
Is Pseudoscience Fiction a genre? I’m not entirely sure what kind of film Vice was trying to be, but apparently it didn’t try very hard. This Westworld inspired thriller presents us with some fairly heavyweight themes and then fails to make any kind of attempt at tackling them.
A rather weak …
Enchanted the Movie
Enchanted was a totally Cinderella story, until the end. It was a good modern day fairy tale, and I ended up really liking it a lot. I thought that it would be a little fake at first, but still wanted to watch it. It turned out really great, and …
Cold Mountain (2003)
This is the story of a man who is thrown in the middle of the American Civil War and the trials that he must go through. On the flip side of that situation is his journey, a journey that he makes back to the arms of the woman that …
Movie Rocky
Rocky came out in 1976 and was written by and stars Sylvester Stallone. It is a movie that has inspired me most of my life. It’s about an average, unknown boxer who gets a shot at the Heavyweight Championship.
In the movie, the Champion, Apollo Creed, …
The Man Who Would Be King, 1975
This movie is based on a short story by Rudyard Kipling. Two British officers, played by Sean Connery and Michael Caine (named Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnehan, respectively), have served their duty in India and are now free to go back home to England. However, they do not relish …
Alice In Wonderland (2010 Version)
Alice In Wonderland, Tim Burton’s remake of the classic Disney film actually goes in quite a different direction than what I expected. Obviously with Burton, there’s going to be quite a few twists to the movie and overall sort of a dark or gothic type mood to it and …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
An American Christmas Carol (1979). a movie
Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right. Based, of course, on “A Christmas Carol,” this movie transforms the Victorian London into America’s …
The Last Airbender Movie
The Last Airbender, is currently the latest movie being shown. This movie was inspired from the Nickelodeon’s high hit series, Avatar: The Last Airbender.The series was created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, I’ve been watching that series for a long time and so I felt …

Outsourced (movie)
I do not think that I could have heard about the movie Outsourced, had I not read a good movie review about it some years ago. The review made the movie sound so good in fact, that I decided that I was going to watch it online since I …

The wind will carry us movie
The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …
Unlimited movie rental
I signed up for Blockbuster Total Access 3 months ago. I was very surprised that it worked the way Blockbuster says on TV. If you sign up at the store or online you have to pay a monthly fee. I signed up for the unlimited movies …
Cinema Paradiso (movie)
Cinema Paradiso is a beautiful, foreign film about a boy who changes the way that movies are seen in his little town. There is a theater where people go to watch movies but there are no sexual scenes, no nudity, no foul language and no kisses given. In fact, …
The Quiet (R, 2005)
Here is yet another movie that I’ve been skipping over in my Netflix queue. I thought at first that because the film starred Elisha Cuthbert, that it would be one of those silly little flicks with little substance. Tween thrillers are very rarely that entertaining to …
The Hangover 3 (movie)
Hangover 3 is the last part of the Hangover trilogy that was released in 2013. The last part of the trilogy was again directed by Todd Phillips who directed the first two parts of this trilogy. I previously enjoyed the Hangover and Hangover 2 like no other. It was …
3:10 to Yuma, movie
Although this movie is a remake of a terrific film, with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale taking the leads, this film did more than just update a classic; it surpassed it. “3:10 to Yuma” is more than just a western. This is a movie that could well be …
War Horse (movie)
When I heard about the movie “War Horse” a couple months ago, the plot sounded so interesting to me that I couldn’t wait to try it. I realise now that it was only because the person had given me a very brief and interesting synopsis of the movie’s plot. …
Dorian Gray movie
I completely forgot about this film until I saw it again on the front page of the site “watch-movies-online.tv”. Of course, since I hadn’t read the book, I knew the name sounded familiar, but I didn’t know what it was all about. I was even motivated more to try …
The Day the Earth Stopped movie
OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.
This movie was nothing more than a rip …
Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
Bicentennial Man (1999)
Bicentennial Man, directed by Chris Columbus is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for language and some sexual content. The original release date was December 17, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Science Fiction/Drama/Romance and stars Robin Williams as Andrew …
DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …
Copying Beethoven
I actually found the movie “Copying Beethoven” by accident as I had confused it with another movie I had seen years earlier and was searching high and low for a very long time. As soon as I saw the movie begin, I realised that it was not the movie …
Captain Phillips (movie)
One of my top ten movies that I watched this year so far has been the one named “Captain Phillips”. The thing about this movie though was that when I first saw the trailer advertising in late 2013 it didn’t really hold my interest enough for me to think …
Over the Hedge
I spent some time thinking about how to describe how good the movie Over the Hedge was. The best way I can think of is, it was so good, my 2-year-old actually sat quietly throughout the whole movie.
Centering around a bunch of wild animals having to cope with a …
Only Lovers Left Alive (movie)
As I mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the actor Tom Hiddleston, not just because of his acting, but because I think he’s just downright handsome and charming. I remember that a little after the “Avengers” movie I began to wonder what other future projects he might have, …
