Hollywood Ending, the movie (2002)
Can a suddenly blind director make a movie? This problem is the basis of the plot of Woody Allen’s film. It offers many attacks on Hollywood and its stampeded products. However, it was interesting to observe the creator who finds himself in a critical situation. How will he behave? How …
Horror Movies
What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …

Count Duckula cartoon

Shrek Forever After (2010)
This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …

Where The Wild Things Are movie
Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …
Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …
Slumdog Millionaire (movie)
While I have always heard about the top grossing film “Slumdog Millionaire,” it took a long time for me to watch it for myself since I would either forget about it when I had the time, or not have the time to watch it with my busy schedule. Nevertheless, …
The film ‘Waterloo’
One of my all-time favourite films is —˜Waterloo’ starring Rod Steiger and Christopher Plummer, plus Virginia McKenna, Jack Hawkins and Orson Welles. This is a film covering a huge stage. Napoleon is seen being sent into exile on St Helena and his imperial ambitions are seemingly laid in the …
Thr3e

Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …

I am Legend
…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
But then again, it’s not all his fault that this remake …
Untraceable Movie

Killjoy
When I let my daughter pick out the movie Killjoy for me and my wife (she’s four and picks movies based on the cover) I was a bit concerned it would be too scary for my pregnant spouse.
As it turns out, you can’t judge a DVD by its cover. …
Cheeni Kum, movie
Finally somebody had the sense to pair two performers we’ve been dying to see together: Amitabh and Tabu.
And debutant director R Balki proves he’s just the man for the job as he marvelously brews the perfect romantic comedy around an acerbic chef and a classy dame.
As …
Slumdog Millionaire movie
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.

Notting Hill movie
“Notting Hill” is one of my favourite all time romantic comedies. I think I like it so much because it presents a very straight forward story with a nice comic touch in it. Even though this movie is all about Julia Roberts and Hugh Grants acting abilities, it also …
The Accidental Tourist movie
After watching this movie I started to be a great fan of William Hurt’s acting abilities. I must say that I also observed his performance in the more recent “The Good Shepard” and it seems that Hurt hasn’t lost his touch! Unfortunately, although “The Accidental Tourist” is all about …
Why Did I Get Married? (PG-13, 2007)
Tyler Perry is truly one of the underdog success stories in American filmmaking. His stage plays have brought him tons of success. But I am still waiting for him to make a really riveting movie. “Why Did I Get Married?” is full of stars (Janet Jackson, …
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 …
