The Fugitive thriller
The Fugitive is one of the best thrillers films I’ve seen. Never have I sat through the whole film without taking bathroom breaks or even a quick trip to the fridge. Here, Harrison Ford played Dr. Richard Kimble, a prominent doctor convicted of murdering his wife. He is co-starred …
Carver (horror movie)
One thing I’m truly sick of is those cliche horror movies where a bunch of teenagers or college age campers get stuck in the woods and are taken out one by one by a bunch of “redneck” psychopaths. However, I also have those rare moments where I might crave those …
Jumanji (movie)
When I was much younger, I had a sleepover with one of my aunts and she rented a video of a movie that she thought I would like to see. It was a few years after Jumanji was released and I never heard of the movie before that night, …
Incendies (drama movie)
If you love watching foreign films and dramas, Incendies is just one of those films that you have to watch. Forget about every other one that you have on your list and make this one a special priority because the movie was literally a masterpiece, and one of the few …

Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)
There is always this magnificent beauty that the nature emits. It is something so rare especially for people like me who have lived in the city for so many years now. Away from all the trees, untainted rivers, and the calming sound of the creatures that add peace to the …
Movie: Biloxi Blues
I am not a huge Matthew Broderick fan but I ended up watching one of his movies last night; Biloxi Blues; mostly because I was in the mood for a good war movie.
Unfortunately for me, this film just wasn’t that good.
I loved Christopher Walken in this movie as the …
The Day After Tomorrow
There have been many, many movies from Hollywood which have told us exactly how we’ll die off as a human race. None took so much meaning for the time as The Day After Tomorrow. It showed what effects the weather would have on our climate. We tend to think …
Braveheart film
When we think about the Middle Ages what strikes us is a lot of savagery, pain and torture but above them all the notion of heroism, which taken that manages to deal with all the challenges previously enlisted stands out more than anything we can …
Choke the movie
I watched choke last night and I was extremely disappointed. I had
read the book before which I thought was very good and the movie just
didn’t stand up by comparaison. Maybe my high hopes for the movie are
what made me feel extra disappointed. I feel like they just took the
kinda …

Superman, The Movie
Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …
The Brave One
I am reviewing the movie, The Brave One, starring Jodi Foster and Terrance Howard. Jodi Foster plays a character who gets assaulted in the park, with her fiance. They are beaten within an inch of their lives. Their dog is stolen, and they are left for dead. Her …
Gangs of New York
WHen the movie Gangs of New Yrok was supposed to be released in theatres, I was eager to watch it not only because I have always loved many historical films but it would have been the the first time in a long time that I had seen the actor …
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I had heard of the play Sweeny Todd and then heard of the movie from last year. I was interested in seeing the movie. When I first sat down to view the movie I was curious.
In my opinion, Johnny Depp is a good character actor. I also really …
The Number 23
The Number 23 is a movie starring Jim Carrey. Carrey plays a serious role in the movie. He has really managed to make the transition from comedic actor to serious actor. He is very good in the role of Walter Sparrow, an ordinary man who becomes obsessed with the …
50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals DVD Collection
I can only compare this 50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals from Mill Creek Entertainment to the company’s 100 Movie Pack Hollywood Classics, which I reviewed recently. One thing that is different is that the sleeves the DVDs come in are not as thick of material. They are …
Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005)
The Steven Spielberg remake of the famous War of the Worlds 1953 movie was downright disappointing. The movie borders on awful, and really doesn’t come through. Despite the good cast, it was poorly directly and badly written. While the original movie was inspiring and filled with tension, …
Mighty Ducks
I was watching movies last night on TV (the baby had a late night) and came across Mighty Ducks. God, I hate that movie and regret not being able to get the remote to change the channel.
When it first came out, I was in college near Minnesota and can …
West Side Story
Who can forget the wonderful musical, West Side Story? No one that I know. This is Romeo and Juliet brought to us on the streets of New York. It’s vibrant and colorful, and yet it’s just as tragic as the Shakespearean love birds previously mentioned.
Natalie Wood …
The Prince and Me 2

Movie: “Stand By Me” (1986)
This movie is based on the novella “The Body” by Stephen King. I was very happy to see that, for once, the movie closely followed the original story; and actually did it justice.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine; and a boy named Ray Brower has …
The Killer (movie) July, 2006
This is really one stupid movie that I have ever watched. The movie titled The Killer is a complete out and out copy of Collateral. It released on 21st July, 2006. I expected it to be some kind of a better movie as it is a Mahesh Bhatt production. …
Sunshine (UR, 2007)
I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …
The Uninvited Movie
The camera soars over the crashing waves of the English Coast and the eerie music swells, our hero begins telling us about how haunted these shores are; my skin starts to deliciously crawl and I pull my afghan up tighter under my chin. It doesn’t matter how many …
Volver movie
I love foreign films. I especially love foreign language films with subtitles. Weird, I know, but I love the feel of them and the sense that you are truly experiencing another culture through film. So, when I started watching Volver I had very high hopes. It’s obvious from the …
A League of Their Own Movie
For the longest time, A League of their Own was one of my favorite films, but it eventually took a back-burner seat to many of modern-day films. Yet, it has remained a past favorite that I still enjoyable to watch every now and then. I will be the first to …
Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …
The Battle of Algiers (1967) - a militaristic movie
One readily used type of warfare, since the middle 40s has involved resistance fighters– not part of any particular governmental militaristic group. The resistance fighters attack standard armies; then seem to evaporate or blend back into the populous. Further, grenades have been thrown by individuals of civilian …
40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …
Mr.Bean’s Holiday

Avatar movie
Last December 2009 I was convinced by some of my friends to watch Avatar movie of James Cameron but I was not really impressed when they told me it was more like a story of an alien thing so I declined. But when January 2010 comes, my close friend …
House of Usher movie 2008
I rented this movie as a fan of the horror genre and also an interest in Edgar Allen Poe. It turned out that I did not read the description as carefully as perhaps I should have, but what took place was entertaining none the less. This movie …
Nanny Mcphee
Nanny Mcphee is a bit boring film with some unconvincing scenes which no logic. Emma Thompson plays Nanny McPhee in the movie and she has some magical powers which is not really convincing. Cedric Brown played by Colin Firth ia a widower and has seven children who are extremely …
Nine (2009)
I went to see Nine because my sister is a big fan of musicals and wanted to see the screen adaptation of this one. I did not expect to like the movie that much, and I must say that I found it entertaining.
The story revolves around cinema director …
Mystic River
Clint Eastwood first gained directorial praise with Unforgiven, which was a movie I loved. So as you can imagine, I was very excited for Mystic River. And after watching it, I was not disappointed. Clint Eastwood delivers again and does an even better job than he …

The Santa Clause 2
I love The Santa Clause 2. It is a great movie and in my opinion, better than the first part. (I have not yet seen the third part but am really eager to!) In this sequel, Santa Clause has to find a Mrs. Claus in 30 days else he …
The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen movie
Tex Ritter starred as Tex Martin in The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen, a typical singing western for its generation. In this movie, he uses a guitar quite a bit. This movie does indeed have several songs in it.
The drama begins when Tex and his current sidekick …
The River Wild
Most movies that star Kevin Bacon have him as a lovable person. The River Wild is one of those movies that’s a bit different because it turns the guy who usually plays a hero into the villain and the contrast works.
The thing I like about The River Wild is …
