Sense and Sensibility movie
Based on the novel by Jane Austen. I have not read the book, so I don’t know how it compares to the book, but it is a wonderful movie filled with twists and turns, heartbreak, and of course, like all her novels, a happy ending. I plan on picking …
The Secret Life of Bees - The Movie
I did not read this book so I can’t compare the movie version to the book version, however, I was quite satisfied with movie. I would give it 4 & 1/2 stars out of five. Dakota Fanning was excellent, she gets a 5 out of 5. …
Star Trek (2009)
With a venerable liking for most things I’ve seen almost all of the movies and some shows, I must say that JJ did a nice work with this film. The director JJ Abrams has done a brilliant job in resurrecting an ailing franchise to the glee of millions of …
To Be or Not to Be movie
A film about a crew of actors in Poland during the outbreak of World War II and the german occupation. The film is all american production with actors like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft, and that takes away a lot of the credibility to be honest. If they were …
Richard Attenborough’s Chaplin (movie)
After watching a couple interviews with the actor Robert Downey Jr, I became interested in him as a person and as an actor. However, it occurred to me almost at that moment that I really don’t know much about him and haven’t watched many of his movies. Therefore, I …
The Bucket List
I cried when I watched The Bucket List before. It starred Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and it saddened me to know that these 2 characters are facing death since they are terminated with cancer.
And due to that, they have a chance to obtain a friendship of a lifetime …
Mr. Mom movie
Mr. Mom is really a cute little movie from 1983. I don’t think of it as an A-list movie, but more of a B-film that still delights and is pretty funny. It was also pretty topical for its era. In truth, it’s still topical to a …
The Age of Adaline, movie
We all wish we could live to the age of 100, for Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively), this becomes a reality as she enters her 107th year of being alive. Director, Lee Toland Krieger does a remarkable job in projecting the never ending life of Adaline Bowman. In this epic romantic …
Dus (movie), 2005
I watched Dus on TV. It released last year in 2005. This film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie is an action film. The action sequences are good but what is missing in this film is a proper story line. The story line is really stupid. The director, …
The Big Show movie
From 1936, Gene Autry stars in a double role in The Big Show. As the country singer and actor often did, his ‘nice’ guy role uses his real name of Gene Autry. In this case, he’s a stuntman who sings. His other part is that of …
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, movie
I enjoy horror movies. I often read them and watch them with the lights turned low, wanting to feel that wonderful scared feeling as the adrenaline gets going. I had seen the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre a year or so ago, and I wanted to …
Clash of the Titans Movie (2010)
I just saw Clash of the Titans. I just recently seen it and I was not able to see it in the theaters because my friends kept telling me that this was not worthy to see in the movies. So when the DVD came out, I saw it …
Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, movie
How did Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth movie franchise fall so far from the heights reached with his original Lord of the Rings trilogy?
Before the first instalment of the Hobbit films had even been released in 2012 the naysayers were already quite vocal about the proposition of taking a small …
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.
Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …
Pumpkin Scissors Episode 4
Pumpkin Scissors Episode 4 begins with Section 3 trying to figure out how advanced technology was used in the Viscount’s military tank and they go to ask an expert about it. When the military tries to take apart the tank, they are attacked by men who are trying …
Gothika movie
I was a bit disappointed with this movie. I would like to commend Halle Berry for a job well done but the same does not go to the movie as a finished product. I don’t want to call anyone stupid among those who made this film …
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Movie 2011)
Okay, so I just watched this movie a few days ago and to tell you guys frankly I never hesitated, not one bit, about watching this movie. I have seen the trilogy and I know that this one “might” just be as good as its predecessors!
Basically, the plot is …
The Fighting Sullivans
A couple days ago I first saw the film ‘The Fighting Sullivans’, and I have to say that I REALLY enjoyed it. It was released in 1944, and was based on the true story of the Sullivan brothers, all of whom fought in World War II (don’t want to …

I went to watch the movie with all of my girlfriends; we all were so excited to see the film. The story revolves around Carrie and Big who both finally decide …
Robot & Frank (2012)
This is a movie about an elderly man. Yes, it’s got a robot in it and, yes, the old man used to be a cat burglar, but it’s still a movie about an old person. That may not excite some of the younger generation. But for those of us …
Love and Other Drugs Movie
I was excited to see this movie as it stars Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal (Jamie) and the movie revolves around a guy who’s known for his charming and infallible ways in making women fall in love with him and dumping them afterwards, and he meets Maggie (Anne) and …
Moana - Disney animation movie
With two small girls in the house, it is inevitable that our movie selections revolve around animations that the kids can watch. Moana, the Disney animation movie about a little girl that gets “chosen” by the ocean to save their tribe is such a stunning movie that I don’t even …
Anbe Sivam movie
I like to review about my all time favourite movie “Anbe Sivam”, that was released in January 2003. The film casts are Kamala Hassan, Madhavan, Kiran, Naseer, etc. The Script was written by actor Kamala Hassan. The dialogues are written by well known Cartoonist and writer Madhan. …
Just Friends film
Typically, when you try to turn a love story into a comedy, it turns out to be funny. But, in the case of Just Friends, it’s just pathetic.
Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brander, an formerly overweight high school student who, 10 years later tries to win the love of his …
Jammin in Jamaica
Jammin in Jamaica is a kid movie intended for teenage girls. It’s not exactly my cup of tea though but my girls like it. It’s about a group of teenage girls and their boyfriends who play in a band. The boys get an opportunity to go to Jamaica for …
Babel (2007 film)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is a director of real life, concentrating on characters and their usual, yet heartbreaking, devastating problems. He is an artist that paints with grief, melancholia and tragedy, wrapping it all in romance. Babel is his most exceptional human tale.
A Japanese father of a …
Wedding Crashers
I saw this movie when it was in the theaters with my best friend. Almost everyone in the theaters seemed to enjoy it, we laughed and laughed. Overall it was a funny movie and entertaining for the most part. I watched it again when it came out with my …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …

Batman Begins Movie
Batman has been a popular icon for almost an decade. I’ve practically seen almost every Batman movie there is. First there was Michael Keaton in the firt one and the sequel and then there was Val Kilmer in the others, and then there is Chirstain Bale in this one. …
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy
I honestly think there should be a law against Hollywood basing a movie off of a classic piece of literature and then making a film that doesn�t resemble the book at all.
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy is based off of his book The Jewel of the Seven Stars. While I …
“All the King’s Men” The other one (1999)
This “All the King’s Men” is not the one based on Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer winning novel. It is not a novel about politics in Louisiana. It is a movie about, well, all the king’s men. In this version there really is a king, King George V and the …

Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …
Shivaji
Last week I had been to the very popular and houseful movie and the name of which is Shivaji. Originally this is a Tamil movie in which the famous and very popular actor Rajnikanth has performed the role of the hero. The hero has given his best …
Third Harry Potter Movie
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was very impatient for this movie, especially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. I had heard there would be a new director so I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations. It …
Mr Arkadin movie
What could have been a major masterpiece by Orson Welles was severely cut down by the production company as they thought it was “too boring” and to mr Welles’ devastation he found yet another of his works butchered and lost forever. It was the exactly same thing with The …
Spirited Away (Movie 2001)
This movie is so breath-taking…animation, story, characters, direction…it’s a spectacular piece of work. A family is movie to a suburban area (Mother, Father, Daughter) where on their journey they mistakenly take a wrong turn and end up in a fantasy world. This is where the daughter’s adventures begin as …
George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) Film
George A. Romero is known to zombie fans as the “Godfather of All Zombies,” according to Wikipedia. His rise to fame began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead,” a dystopian zombie film that garnered acclaim and criticism for its grotesque scenes and nearly nihilistic ending. Though I’ve …
The Mirror Has Two Faces
I admit I am a great fan of Barbra Streisand. I believe she is simply wonderful in whatever she does. The movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces” in which she is an actress, director, producer and music director is no exception. It comes to no surprise that this movie …
Cross Creek movie
“Cross Creek” proves that Hollywood movie makers don’t always have to spend millions of dollars to make good films. This movie is based on an autobiographical book by novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who is best known for writing “The Yearling.” I don’t usually like Mary Steenburgen, but …
Yoga Hosers, horror comedy
I’m a fan of Kevin Smith’s work. I enjoyed the “View Askewniverse” movies as well as “Red State”. I’ve also enjoyed his podcast “Fatman on Batman”. I have yet to see “Tusk” but I was able to check out it’s sequel/spin-off “Yoga Hosers”.
The fact that this follows …
