WALL-E
When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …
Center Stage Movie
I had watched this movie for the first time and my first thought was like, where did these people come from? The next thought that followed was that, why aren’t they famous, they should be! Upon watching Center Stage, this is the perfect movie for ballerinas, may the be …
Borat film
This movie was overall alright. I enjoyed watching some parts of the movie. Some parts not so much. In some parts it was boring or wasn’t really funny. You could also tell that it was a low budget film. There were a couple of parts that were funny. It’s …
“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …
The Cider House Rules movie
I rented this movie because of Michael Caine, and, as usual, he does a good job as Dr. Larch who runs a children’s home/hospital in Maine. One of the boys, Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire) grows up in the orphanage to be a young man and is has been trained …

Rob Zombie’s Halloween
Do you remember when you went trick or treating and got something good in your pumpkin? Like a full size Snickers or Reese peanut butter cup? Well Rob Zombie’s latest Halloween is more like a stick of cheap gum - the sweetness only lasts for so long. …
Jezebel
I was at a friend’s house recently and saw the movie Jezebel on the Turner Classic Movie channel, a channel I don’t get, but would love to.
The movie was filmed in black & white and released in 1938, a year before “Gone with the Wind” which is a similar …
Angels and Demons- movie
Before listening to others opinions and reading reviews of the movie, I freed my mind from everything that could have stopped me from enjoying this movie. I walked into the theater with unbiased mind, hoping the best. I had been waiting for the release dates of this movie from …
Havoc (R, 2005) movie
Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …
Ghostbusters movie
One of my favorite movies was the first Ghostbusters movie. Even now, I think of it as a classic even though it has one of my least favorite comedians and actors in there, Bill Murray. I think one of the reasons why I appreciated it too was that, even …
The Call (Movie 2013)
As a fan of Halle Berry, I tend to tune into most everything she is featured in. When seeing the preview trailers for The Call, I was excited and dead set on seeing it. The previews were intriguing, but in a simple kind of way.
The Call isn’t meant …
Seven Pounds Movie
I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …
The Princess Bride
The Princess Bride is a comedy classic. I really loved this movie. This was a great story with a great cast. I really thought that Wesley was very funny in the movie. I liked how he would always say as you wish to the princess. There love story was very …
Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …
Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies)
‘Hotaru no Haka’, the tale of a pair of siblings in Japan during World War II moved the hearts of viewers when it was released in 1988. This anime has become a classic, well-loved and remembered by many.
In 2005, the ‘live’ version of ‘Hotaru no Haka’, more commonly known …

The very first time I saw the actor Hayden Christensen was in the movie “Life as House” where he portrayed a disturbed and out of control teen named Sam. I watched the movie a total of five times after that as I fell in love with everything from …
Duplex, movie
Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore do a wonderful job in pulling off this bright comedy about a couple trying to survive their first home owner’s experience. I thought this film was playful, funny and even a bit telling in how we all sometimes fall for things that are too good …

This is the End 2013 (Movie)
With very famous and some of my favourite actresses like Emma Watson featuring in the movie This is the End, I was very excited to watch the movie. I like her acting from the Harry Potter series, which is my all time favourite series since I was a kid. …
Heartbeat movie
From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …
The Mark of Zorro Movie
When I was a kid, I was a huge Zorro fan. The reason for this was the old black and white movie The Mark of Zorro. I got a chance to watch this movie again today and, even after all these years and after seeing it quite a few …

Playboy Wet & Wild: Bottoms up
I will never forget my 18th birthday when I was finally allowed to see adult movies. I had always wanted to see some hot babes take it all off. And the first ever Playboy video I rented was Playboy’s Wet N Wild: Bottoms Up. I was very excited …
Bedazzled-Brendan Fraser & Elizabeth Hurley
I loved this movie because it was so funny. Who would have thought that the devil could be a comedian or so sexy. Elizabeth Hurley was great in this role because she brought a special touch to it. I enjoyed her constant antics and trickery so much. She kept …
Midnight Lace movie
In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …
Earth documentary
You always hear people discussing cinematography in various films and movies, but in the movie I finally saw last night, —˜Earth,’ the cinematography is magnificent and clearly on a different level than most documentaries I have seen. The movie is made up of several —˜stories’ of animals in their …
Movie: The Outsiders

Yuva meaning youth. The movie Yuva is based on politics and youth. It depicts the role of politics in a youth’s life. The film is directed by Mani Ratnam, one of the best directors in India. I went to watch this film first day first show (Lol). I liked …

Cold Mountain
At first, I had a hard time getting myself to watch the movie “Cold Mountain” especially since I thought it would have been a Western, and I have a strong dislike for Westerns. However, recently when I was at a friend’s house, I found the DVD and decided to …
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, movie
Coming off of two moderately successful films, the third Fast and Furious film drops the likes of Pual Walker and Vin Diesel and takes a turn back to driving roots. There is no drug plot, no criminal investigation, this movie is about driving fast and the art of drifting.
Set …
Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
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 …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003 Movie)
Kate Hudson is one of my favourite actresses and in this movie she appears to be a fresh face. Toggling between a hard core professional who would go to any extent to get her work done to a flirtatious girly girl who likes being pampered, she has done a …
Bridge to Terebithia
This film was not what I expected. The title, the trailers, gave no sign as to the actual nature of this movie. Despite that sneakiness, I thought it was an exceptionally fine film, dealing with very sensitive themes. The main themes are bulliness and neglect, and both are represented …
I know who killed me movie
I know who killed me (2007) directed by Chris Silverton stars Lyndsay Lohan and Julia Ormond. This movie is one that is labeled under suspense and thriller and is an ‘R’ rated movie.
Now to begin with Lohan did a wonderful job portraying herself as two different people. …
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
This movie has been around for a few nears now but I only just watched it recently and all I knew about the Mothman was from Youtube videos which seemed really unbelievable and usually look fake. Before I watched the movie I read a bit on the real …

Henry Winkler plays Chuck, a successful stockbroker turned morgue attendant in New York City. His wife has too many hang-ups, his sex life is almost non-existant, and his life is pretty much boring. However, his main intention …
The Reader movie
The best way to describe the movie —˜The Reader’ is a very moving film which tackles emotions and sentiments in a unique way. It is no wonder that there were many actresses who wanted to interpret the main female role such as Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard and …
Hostel Part II
Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …
The Dark Knight Rises
Read on at the risk of spoilers.
For those of you who believed that ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ would be strong competition for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ I’m sorry, but you could not be more wrong. The other two films were good, but this was on a whole …
Man’s Best Friend
It’s probably because I’ve become desensitized a bit over the years but I remember the movie Man’s Best Friend as being much scarier than it was when I watched it last night.
The movie has a good concept, you have a genetically engineered dog rescued from the research lab but …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
These days, when I think about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, I usually think of the short-lived TV series that starred Richard Dean Anderson. I loved that show. However, long before it came this 1954 movie with Howard Keel in the Anderson role. Joining Keel is …
Movie Waiting to Exhale (1995)
Waiting to Exhale, directed by Forest Whitaker is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language and some strong sexuality.
