Let me start off by saying…”One of the best Superman Movies animated or not ever made”. I have always been of the opinion that Superman’s portrayed character is so lame, why is he called “Superman” in the first place. He always seems to get the tar beat out of …

Ghost Ship is a horror movie that I really love, even though the movie itself isn’t really that scary. The first time I saw it was when it was playing in the theater, and I’ve had the chance to see it a few more times since then. Every time …

Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …

“Insidious” is one of those movies that I’ve found myself beginning several times, but never actually settling down to watch it. Most of the times I shied away from it because of the bad reviews quite a few viewers had given it, calling it a waste of time and …

Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …

I really get a kick out of For Pete’s Sake, a 1974 movie with Barbra Streisand and Michael Sarrazin. They play a newly married couple just making it from day to day. Pete (Sarrazin) drives a taxi, while Heniretta (Streisand) tends to their apartment and acts essentially …

This is a film that everyone associates with Woody Allen as it was so successful, winning four Academy Awards amongst others. It is very funny and always makes me laugh but Annie Hall was a turning point for Allen as he had now turned his back on the …

I am reviewing the movie, American History X, starring Edward Norton. This movie is about racism, hatred, forgiveness, and beliefs. Edward Norton plays Derek, a neo nazi who believes that all African Americans are trash, dirty, and trouble. He thinks that they are nothing but trouble, and …

Musing on another Godard film I watched last night, I still have these fresh thoughts stuck in my head. Watching Godard is never a bore. I recently read an article in the nytimes talking about Paris as a most favored site for shooting movies. This film was …

When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.

The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …

I have watched a few Tyler Perry films and decided to give “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” a chance. I really like Taraji Henson as an actress, and have always been a fan of hunky Adam Rodriguez. The story is centered on a group of …

Generally speaking, I don’t much go for the obvious chick flicks. There are some that I like, but it doesn’t happen to be a genre that I’m in the mood for a lot. And, how much more “chick flick” can you get than a movie that puts …

Rock Hudson teamed up with DorisDay for Send Me No Flowers, which was a smash hit in 1964. The couple are married in this film outing, playing George and Judy. The problem is that dear old George is a devout hypochondriac. If there’s a disease out …

I recently heard about the new Clash of the Titans movie that is supposed to be coming out at theaters soon. I’m not big on movie re-makes. But, seeing the previews did make me want to see the original 1981 version again so I was glad when I could …

I admit that I entered in the theater with quite low expectations, being a fan of horror movies, I decided to give it a try for the following two reasons, first- it’s a horror movie, second- it is made in digital 3-D.
first of all, Hats off to the filmmakers for …

Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …
Idyllic …

This past weekend was the first time I had a chance to sit down and watch the movie My Blue Heaven. It was an OK film but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to be and almost a waste of my time this past weekend.
I’m usually a …

Starred Up was one of those movies that was recommended to me. However, at the time I didn’t pay it much attention because I’ve never heard the movie mentioned anywhere else. I figured it was going to be one of those low budget flops that was more of a waste …

Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.

I think I watched almost every one of Johnny Depp’s later films before I finally got around to watching one of his first ones, Cry Baby. After seeing the movie for the first time, I can understand why it has become a bit of a cult movie.
While the overall …

Some movies, you just can’t get out of your head. They leave such a permanent impression in your mind and constantly make you think about the way life is, the way it could be, and the way it may end up. The movie “A Walk to Remember” did …

I will start by saying the film “Remember Me”, starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, and Emilie de Ravin, is surprisingly good. On the surface, it contains a cliche plot, one of a boy who dates a girl to get back at someone else but ultimately falls …

2 hours and 42 minutes is a lot of time, and if I am a productive person I would be able to do so much other than just sitting in my comfortable chair watching a german-language movie called “Toni Erdmann”.
Truth be told, the first 10 minutes is a real struggle …

“Eragon” is a film based on the fantasy novel written by Christofer Paolini and directed by Stefen Fangmeier. When I read the book I really liked it, so I looked forward to watching the film in hope that it would be as good as the book, but when it …
