Movies Reviews
George of the Jungle (1997)
The best way to eve try and explain this movie is to compare it with Tarzan and then give it an over all switch in the level of deepness in the character, toss in a heap of comedy and you have yourself a movie that has been remade into …
Movie The Terminal
I read so much good reviews about this romantic movie that ended up with very high expectations while watching. While I must admit that Tom Hanks is simply great, this movie cannot be classified with a great romantic ending.It seems that even the director of this movie Spielberg was …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, Movie
By all accounts, ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ should have marked the end of the live action ‘Transformers’ franchise. That movie was outright terrible. Critics hated, fans hated it, it still stands as one of the worst movies you will ever have the displeasure of sitting through. …
Save the Last Dance for me movie
The 2004 Korean Drama “Save the Last Dance for me”, starring Yoo Jin and Ji Sung, is one of my favorite dramas. This was the one which made me start my hallyu craze.
The plot of the drama is not the typical amnesia story. Kang Hyun Woo(Ji Sung) has already …
Right at Your Door Movie
Right at Your Door is a thinking person’s movie, meaning that you can’t just kick back and watch the movie while you do the laundry, play with the kids, or give the dog a bath. You could, but I doubt it would have the same effect on you that …
Hackers movie
“Hackers” was one of my favorite movies which the famous actress Angelina Jolie starred in. I first watched it one Saturday evening a couple years ago on the SciFi cable channel and enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, right now I’m thinking of watching it again.
I would not call …
It Follows Movie (2015)
As a fan and frequent watcher of horror films, I was naturally looking forward to this film. As I passed the theater last night, I was stopped in my tracks by the flyer itself. It was an extremely well executed throwback to 1980s campy, horror film posters and it immediately …
Bedtime Stories comedy
Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, is an enjoyable family oriented comedy. It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s one you feel fairly safe watching with your kids. There is some very mild bad language, but it’s pretty tame even for its PG rating. My one biggest complaint (Spoiler alert) …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
My son is a big fan of mummy series, and I had to watch the earlier two parts with him as well. This one is set in china, and the story goes that thousands of years ago, one Chinese king, wanted to rule the world, and was looking for …
The Guardian Movie
I only watched The Guardian because one of the main stars is Kevin Costner. I’ve liked him for a long time, even though not all of his movies have been the best. I knew from the previews that Ashton Kutcher was in the movie too, but I still wanted …
Movie Into the Wild
Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …
Doc Hollywood
Doc Hollywood is produced by Warner Brothers Entertainment. Doc Hollywood is a funny film starring Michael J. Fox as a young Doctor Ben Stone. Ben is on his way to Beverly Hills California to become a plastic surgeon. When he takes a wrong turn near Grady, South …
Street Kings movie
Keanu Reeves has pulled off another great movie. Keanu Reeves has shown that he can stand in other films besides the Matrix and romance films. My wife and I went to see this movie without knowing what to expect. Although the action seemed a little shy in this …
Meet the Fockers
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …
Willard (2003)
Sick, twisted, morbid and demented are the terms to toss at this remake of the same name. Willard, played by Cripsin Glover is the man character, one who is abused by almost every one around him, including his mother, his boss and even a rat named Ben. After losing …
Pan’s Labyrinth
When I saw Pan’s Labyrinth, I was expecting a story about a little girl retreating into her elaborate fantasy world. I would have been happy with just that, but Pan’s Labyrinth was so much more.
In the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Ofelia and her mother, who …
Kick Ass: Movie
Kick-Ass is one of my favourite films to come out of the last couple of years, mainly down to how unique it is and its fascinating analysis of a wannabe superhero.
This superhero is just an ordinary teenager, and the story shows that. You get a good back story to …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …
Lonely Street movie
Last night I noticed that there was nothing interesting being aired on all the cable television channels we had, except for one particular comedy I saw on the television guide named “Lonely Street” that I saw was being aired on The Movie Channel (TMC) at that moment. At first …
Doubt (PG13, 2008)
I have been skipping over Doubt on my Netflix list, because quite frankly, I couldn’t tell what the movie was about. And when I looked at the synopsis, I couldn’t really get a grip on the gist of the film. It seemed like some kind of …
Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …
Ant-Man (Superhero Movie)
Ant-Man was possibly the only Marvel movie that caught me off-guard because I didn’t remember hearing of the superhero until after I saw the movie trailer, and because I wasn’t sure how seriously I could take one that had shrinking to the size of an ant as a superpower. However, …
Kick-Ass Movie
Kick-Ass is a comic-book superhero movie about a guy who ask himself “why nobody has ever tried to be a superhero?” like the ones on comic-books. Kick-Ass is based in a comic by Mark Millar and I think this is one of the best comic-book movies ever. As a …
Movie Review: “Bleak House” 1985
We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens. It was the 1985 mini-series version starring Diana Rigg as Lady Deadlock and Denholm Elliott as John Jarndyce, the kind-hearted gentleman entangled in a terrible, …
Death Race In Bluray
Hello, today, I am going to be giving you guys a review on the movie Death Race in Bluray format. I watched this movie a little while ago and I thought it deserved a good review.
There are lots of reasons why you could love this movie as I have. …
Spinout movie
I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …
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, …
A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
Saving Sarah Caine movie
I saw previews of “Saving Sarah Cain” before watching another movie, and it looked like something I would not only want to watch but probably also add to my movie collection. I bought a DVD from Amazon shortly after that, and my husband and I watched the movie together.
“Saving …
Three Days of the Condor movie
Sydney Pollack directed this mesmerizing spy thriller, Three Days of the Condor, in 1975. It stars Robert Redford as Joseph Turner, a man who reads books for a living. He’s employed by the CIA. His very unassuming place of employment seems low key and simple enough. …
Faithful Unto Death
I am reviewing the murder mystery film, Faithful Unto Death, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based off of the novels of Caroline Graham. It was created in 1998.
In the movie Faithful Unto Death, the whole …
Network movie
What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …
Saw
Saw is a new kind of horror film that I had never seen before, the movie came off tacky at times, but it was interesting and cool enough to let the small things go, the plot I think is really good and kept me interested, 2 people wake up …
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
When I was a youngster, I was not much of a horror movie fan, so I did not see get around to seeing George Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978. It has only been since I became an adult that I have grown to appreciate the …
Two Weeks Notice Movie
Two Weeks Notice is a light and well-made romantic comedy. Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock), a talented attorney, gets fed up with her rich, handsome, and helpless boss George Wade (Hugh Grant). Despite having a secretary, Wade keeps using Lucy as another one, burdening her with ridiculous personal requests. Tired …

Vantage Point
Last Sunday night, my wife and I went out to the local theater to see the new movie Vantage Point. Except for the fact that we had to sit in one of the front rows n the very end, the experience was definitely a pleasureable one.
The …
The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.
…
A Dead Calling
A Dead Calling is the kind of movie that I would only watch as a last resort, or because it was cheap. In my case it was a little of both. My local video rental place was clearing out some of their older movies, and I managed to grab …
Kangaroo Jack
“Kangaroo Jack” is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. Even now I am not completely sure as to whether the movie was made for children, young adults, teenagers, adults or simply for the whole family. Watching it made my head hurt, but for some reason, a …
Sillendru Oru Kadhal movie
Sillendru Oru Kadhal is a fantastic romantic Tamil movie. The film directed by debutant Krishna. He worked as a assistant director for director Gautam. The real life couple Surya and Jothika paired up in this movie. This was officially the final movie for Jothika before …
Roll Bounce (2005 movie)
I, for one, believe that each should stick to what they can do…rappers rap, singers sing, dancers dance, actors act, and so on. When they try to do things that they know nothing of, they make a fool of themselves. Now, Bow wow is no stranger to the acting …
Looper Movie
In the year of 2074, time travel is forbidden and is only to be used secretly by the biggest criminal organizations. To get rid of someone and all traces of his or her existence, the criminal syndicates send him 30 years back in time, where their specialized assassins called …

Love, Lies And Murder is based on the true story of Cinnamon Brown. Cinnamon kills her stepmother and goes to juvenile jail for the murder. The real story, however, is that Cinnamon is coerced by her father, David, to kill Linda. It is such a heartbreaking tale because when …
Momma Mia
The other day I went and saw Momma Mia in the theatre with one of my friends. It was a fun time. There were several actors in the play with whom I was already familiar, but their roles were very unexpected.
On paper, the movie doesn’t seem very good …
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar movie
Attitude is everything, and in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, there is plenty of attitude. When I first heard that Patrick Swayze was going to be in this movie, I was surprised, but there’s a reason for everything Patrick does, and when I learned it …
American Graffitti movie
American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …
For Your Eyes Only movie
James Bond and his arch enemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld returns in this film which is considered as one of the worst by many Bond fans, but I personally think it’s extremely intense all the way through. The story leads Bond through several different countries, facing many dangers as usual, …

Georgia Byrd is a cookware salesperson with a boring life and secretly fall in love to a man …
Nebraska (comedy drama)
If you like family dramas, independent films and road trip movies like me, you might find yourself liking the movie Nebraska. It’s different from a lot of other films I’ve seen, the plot is exciting even though it’s simple and it strives to be realistic.
When the movie begins, we see …
