Mutilation Ball
To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …

Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green
I love Sherlock Holmes books and have heard good things about some of the old black & white Sherlock Holmes movies. So, since I was once again up with our youngest daughter last night, I decided to give one of them a try Sherlock Holmes: The Woman in Green.
The …

Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
Evolution Movie
Science Fiction comedy in the same category as Ghostbusters for example. A meteorite hits the earth and brings with it a strange new form of life that threatens to take over the planet, or does it?

Flight of the Phoenix
Hollywood has long been known to produce some great movies. It seems the wheels of the machine have stopped turning of late and all they will produce are remakes. Some, of course, seem light years better than others. Among the few that are destined to be forgotten are Flight …
Thor: Movie
Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …

Paul - Unrated (2011) - Movie
Oh, how I wanted to like this movie! It’s got an impressive cast, including Simon Pegg, Kristin Wiig, Jane Lynch, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, even a cameo by Steven Spielberg! Casting Seth Rogen as the wise-cracking alien wasn’t my problem though. I felt that this was …
The Mist (movie)

Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
I would think a movie about a 60s female singing group would make a great musical to watch. But, for the most …

Kingdom of Heaven (2005 film)
A direct cause and effect product of my personal favorite film of all times Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven takes us where history of the Middle Ages has always talked about-the Crusades. It is a film that inspired me for the heroic part of that time’s history.

Brooklyn Castle - Documentary
The documentary Brooklyn Castle, in my opinion can be attributed to many positive events after its airing. For instance, right after I watched the film I learned that an Inner City school in Brooklyn was the first school of its class to win the High School Championship put …

Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD

The very last of the Sherlock Holmes movies to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill. Parts of this story are among my favorite moments. I suppose the actors had these roles so down pat by now that it felt more natural …
Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Snakes on a Plane… The title pretty much sums it up: that’s what the movie is about, snakes on a plane biting and killing people. There is no point, no deeper meaning, just that. Of course, there is some basic plot, explaining how hundreds of snakes got on an …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
Premonition
Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
We ended up picking up the second Madagascar movie “Escape 2 Africa” last night and wasn’t really sure what to expect. The first one was OK but not the best movie ever and we all know sequels usually don’t live up to the original.
As it turns out, the second …

This was the movie that had won Nicole Kidman an oscar and it’s a very nice movie. The cast is Nicole Kidman as Ada Monroe, Jude Law as Inman, Renee Zellweger as Ruby Thewes, Natalie Portman as Sara, Cillian Murphy as Bardolph, and Giovanni Ribisi as Junior.
The movie is …

“Just promise that you will never fall in love with me”. A famous line from the movie Walk to Remember which stars Mandy Moore and Shane West. This is a sad love story but I really like it. At first I thought its just another ordinary love story wherein …
The Interpreter
I define “The Interpreter” as one of the best thriller’s of our time coming out from Hollywood. Without any doubt the director, Sydney Pollack has managed to include another successful movie to his chain of great movies, such as “Havana”, “The Firm”, “Out of Africa”, “Tootsie” and “Absence of …
Yaadein (movie), 2001
The yaadein (remembrance) of the film Yaadein in perhaps no longer in any of our mind apart from its lovely songs and charming promotional advertisements (Lol). This movie released in 2001 and was directed by Subhash Ghai. I remember how lovely the promotional advertisement of the film was and …
