The 2010 animated family made film “How to Train Your Dragon” was in one word, delightful. The variety of characters, to the graphics, and story line, the movie was entertaining and perfect for a movie night with the family.
Hicup is the hero in this movie, a frail teenage boy …
Across The Universe Movie
If you’re fan of The Beatles, then this movie is for you. It features Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess.
We all know that The Beatles are great, that’s why their songs have been remade and covered by tons of different artists already. But the versions of the songs of …
Moulin Rouge
Erm, I was not thinking that this was the best movie of all time. It has Nicole Kidman, who I love, and Ewan McGregor, and I own the movie, but it just wasn’t my favorite. I think the ideas presented in the movie were great fun … but it …
Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010 film)
With all the campaigns on the internet and coverage from the press, it was impossible to escape the urge to watch the film. It’s awards season and anyone ignorant not to know what “Black Swan” is must be living in a different planet. I didn’t think this …

17 Again movie
I never watched this movie in the cinema, even after watching the trailer because not only do I think that the story or the idea of the protagonist reverting to his teenager self has been done over and over again and that I have seen too much of Zac …
Second Harry Potter Movie
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a great movie! The cast is all the same with new characters being introduced. I though Lockheart was perfectly portrayed and oh my goodness, Lucius Malfoy is absolutely perfect! I hate his character but I love to watch him onscreen because …

Cloverfield
This is either a movie you’re going to love or you’re going to hate. As such, it’s understandable why this movie got mixed reviews. What I had read had been more positive than negative so I went ahead and picked it up on DVD (this was before …
Smallville Show
Who doesn’t love Smallville? I never was really much into it at first but started collecting it on DVD on a whim. I let the DVD’s sit on my shelf for awhile; my fiance went nuts when he saw them and bout the rest of the series for me. …

Movie: Dear John
Dear John is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. I would say the novel was more outstanding than the movie, in terms of details. The movie however, is still a great romance flick to watch with your significant other.
The movie starrs Channing Tatum as John and …

Mr. Untouchable (DVD)

Living With The Enemy Movie
I’ve watched this movie on HBO and it helped pass the time at first, but when the movie was in the middle part the plot becomes obvious and sort of predictable that the ending will be a good one. The actors and actresses aren’t even famous but at least …
Willy Wonka is Willy Bad
I have seen both versions of Willy Wonka and I can speak from personal experience. Johnny Depp couldn’t be more awful! The old version portrayed Wonka as a dignified adult of English society with a streak of uncontrollable genius.
In this movie the jokes are corny and disgusting, the Oopa …
Movie: Ponyo
Because I have kids, just about everyone who has seen the movie Ponyo has told me it is a film we should watch with the family. So, when it became available on Netflix Instant Watch, I did make an effort to add it to my list and, this past …
Alex and Emma (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Alex and Emma” starring Kate Hudson in the early stages of her career, and Luke Wilson, was a film that was really trying to be romantic and funny. I could see it in the jokes and scenes that were exaggerated. However, it really did not deliver. …

My Best Friend’s Girl movie

Chak De India
This must be one of the most entertaining as well as meaningful films that have come out of India in recent times. The basic storyline and genre - sports - is a fairly simple one,familiar to people around the world, but it’s what the makers have done with this …
Twilight
When I first heard about the movie, Twilight based on the Book by Stephanie Meyer, I really did not know much about it. After it came out on DVD I decided to watch it. At first I loved the movie but found it a bit cheesy. After reading the …
Iron Man
Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …

On Friday evening my family and I were waiting for my mother to get to my grandmother’s house after she was finished at the hair dresser, so what I did to kill time was watch a little television. That was how I saw the movie “Mr. Wrong” on the …
An American Haunting

Richie Rich (1994)
Taken from the pages of the comic strip and the TV series, this live action movie has won me over. Richie Rich is the richest child in the world who has any and everything that he wants or needs. The only problem to that situation is that he is …
Stranger Than Fiction (R, 1999)
This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …
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 …
Blood and Chocolate Movie
Before watching the movie “Blood and Chocolate”, I had a completely different interpretation of what we call werewolves or “lycanthropes” were.

Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …
