Cheaper by the dozen 1 Movie
Cheaper By The Dozen 1 (the first movie) is a great story. It’s about a family called the Bakers who have twelve children. Tom Baker played by Steve Martin is classic in his part. He stays true to the comical type of actor that he is. Tom’s wife played …
Planet Earth documentary
I watched the documentary special series called “Planet Earth”.
The shows were about the different geographical bodies of our planet and the animals which live in them.
I really liked the series. I thought each episode had something interesting to offer. Some of the still shots and photography was stunning.
There …
The Fog (2005)
This movie is a remake of a movie by the same name that was released to the general public way back in 1980. The story tells of danger that comes whenever heavy fog is in the general area. People who are caught outdoors or in the fog never come …
Student Seduction (movie)
I don’t usually watch much of the local television station Lifetime, but I’ve noticed that sometimes there are some interesting movies that are aired even though most of them don’t seem to be given much of a high rating by a lot of sources, including the internet movie database. …
The Speckled Band
I am reviewing The Speckled Band, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada Television. In this episode, Holmes is employed by a Miss Stoner, who is frightened for her life. Her sister and she had lived with …
The Passion of Christ
I love Jesus, I really do, and so when I heard that the movie, the passion of Christ was about to be shown in Singapore, I was excited, truly, I was. I not only wanted to watch it, I wanted everyone else in my life to watch it, every …
Film Carrie
The film that launched the books of Stephen Kin into fame and had a similar effect on director Brian De Palma’s career, Carrie is considered by many to be a classic horror film and a perfect example of high school hell.
Telling the tale of poor Carrie White, object of …
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
The gang are back together again for the second time around and the giving is just as good as before, this installation into the Home Alone franchise can best be described as being just as funny and entertaining as the first one without taking anything away from the original …
Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …
Swordfish movie
Swordfish with Hugh Jackman, John Travolta, Halle Berry, and Don Cheadle.
Why are computer hackers so powerful and feared? Well this movie answers this question in an action packed and well written story. The all star cast does an excellent job at turning a …
Ghost Town
It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …
A Beginners Guide to Endings movie
I am reviewing the 2010 movie, A Beginners Guide to Endings, starring well known actors Scott Caan and Paulo Costanza. The movie is a comedy/drama and shows how people react in tight spots. Everything starts with an old man commiting suicide. He is ashamed of what he has done …
Jingle All the Way
Christmas is just around the corner and the television networks are getting a jump start on the season by playing plenty of holiday movies. I came across one the other day I haven’t seen in a while; Jingle All the Way.
This one was actually about as funny as I …
Suspicious River (R, 2000) movie
I am not a huge Molly Parker fan. But there is something about the actress’ delicate features and avant garde sensitivity that I am drawn to. For that reason, I decided to rent “Suspicious River”—a film about a young woman who works in a motel, …
Charlie’s Angels
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
While some parts of the movie are a bit dumb, this film, overall, isn’t too bad.
You have an all …
Moulin Rouge
Erm, I was not thinking that this was the best movie of all time. It has Nicole Kidman, who I love, and Ewan McGregor, and I own the movie, but it just wasn’t my favorite. I think the ideas presented in the movie were great fun … but it …

Movie The love guru
This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …

Alvin and the Chipmunks
IF you want to see a really cute movie, you need to see “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. It is such a cute movie.
I think there are many reasons why I like this movie so much. The first reason is that I grew up with Alvin, Simon and …
The Life of Pi movie
I first heard the story of Pi from my teacher. He is a big fan of the book so when the movie came, he is promoting it to us. Out of curiosity, me and my friends watched it together. I never expected to like it for I am not …

Population 436
Once again, a movie I’ve never even heard about before turned out to be a pretty good thriller for our weekly movie night.
When I came across Population 436 on my movie channels Wednesday night, I had no idea what it was. But, I was a bit tired and didn’t …
Namastey London
With a mixed starcast, and without any solid story, Namstey London still succeeded to attract audience.
It is a triangular love story where an Indian woman is in love with an English man. However,her parents wanted her to marry to an Indian guy but this marriage lasts to be of …
A Wrinkle In Time Movie
I was fairly young when I first picked up the book “A Wrinkle in Time” — but to his day, very few novels (with the ultimate exception of the Harry Potter series) have managed to match it.
The book is one of high adventure and heavy imagination — and, as …
Beauty Shop
I watched “Beauty Shop” last night. I thought it was hilarious! This PG-13 movie stars Queen Latifa, Kevin Bacon, Alicia Silverstone, Andie McDowell and many other familiar faces. Gina (Queen Latifa) quits her job at a salon to open her own business. She encounters troubles of running her own …
Hairspray (1988)
I have seen the most recent version of the movie Hairspray and I absolutely loved it. So, I decided to take the time to watch a slightly older version, the 1988 version that starred Ricki Lake in the lead role.
OK, the movie is essentially the same as the remake …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
Lucy (2014 film)
While the trailers made this movie look like a formulaic popcorn flick, I had heard generally good things about this movie. The truth is, it is something of a mixed bag.
As the trailers show, the movie follows a young woman (played by Scarlett Johansson) who becomes something superhuman …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …
W. movie
I went to see this film because it looked interesting, I thought it was interesting they would take shots at W eaven before his term had ended. The movie chronicles George W Bush’s life, growing up and eventually becoming president, it is one of those movies where you aren’t …
National Treasure
When I first saw the movie “National Treasure” advertising to be released I thought it was based on the book “The Da Vinci Code” by author Dan Brown. This was because I had just finished reading the book, and had heard either on the television or from one of …
Sex and the City
Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Recognize these four names? These are the women on a popular tv show called Sex and the City. It is easy to fall in love with these characters who seem so true to life.
The amazing series which ran from 1998-2004 was quite popular and …
V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta is based on a graphic novel which I had read prior to seeing the movie. I loved the comic book and was nervous going into the movie because I didn’t want to see these characters I love, not done justice. Well, justice they were …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
With the previous entry in the series (Dead Man’s Chest) boasting a controversial cliffhanger of an ending, fans who saw Dead Man’s Chest were no doubt clamoring for the epic finale to the trilogy after walking out of the theater one year ago. Indeed, for me it was a …
Movie Look (R, 2007)
Here is yet another movie that follows people with multiple cameras and angles—”and multiple story lines. If you like movies that have interesting and realistic characters, then this is the film for you. There are several different “vignettes” if you will—”only they are filmed from the perspective …
Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …
Secret Window movie
Secret Window is a movie where Johnny Depp stars as a writer who goes to live in the country by himself because he has gone through a recent divorce. Mort, the character that Johnny Depp plays, is a weird person. I’m not talking about weird like an artist, I …
The Rescuers
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Rescuers. Now, Disney has had some pretty interesting Disney characters in the past, but it is a rarity to find mice as the main characters. In the Rescuers, that is the case. There is a group of mice known as …
Blood Diamond
I have always love seeing Leonardo DiCaprio acting, and a DVD movie I have watched, is the Blood Diamond.
I don’t really understand when I watched this DVD movie. I know that Leo is helping his friend out to seek the diamond, as there has been some dirty dealings …

Wanted Movie
I saw all of the previews and trailers for Wanted with Angelina Jolie as Fox and Morgan Freeman as Sloan, so I felt I had to go see this movie in the theatre and could not wait until it comes to DVD. I like the way the movie introduced …
Don Juan De Marco movie
I had thought I had seen all of Johnny Depp’s movies until I came across this one in Netflix. And, I was glad I found it.
This has to be one of Depp’s best roles (even though he didn’t get top billing for the movie; Marlon Brando did). He plays …
Superman Returns
At last, someone returns to the heart and soul of the original Superman of 1978, with minor improvements to special effects and setting. This movie could not have been made as is back in 1978. It is a Superman for this generation and I am pleased with its arrival. …
Hey Babby
HEY BABBY..This is the directorial debut of Sajid Khan who has been on the Indian movie and Tv scene for so many years now.Well,the movie definitely screams Sajid Khan from beginning to end…be it his good pal SRK’s appearance in the song Mast Kalandar,the ten or so skimpily clad …
Oceans-movie (2010)
