After I watched “All the King’s Men” and wrote my review I read some other reviews. For a minute I thought I had watched a totally different movie. Almost universally “All the King’s Men” was panned by the critics. The movie was not just panned but picked to pieces …

I definitly had to watch this movie because, apart from being a Stefen Spielberg movie, it was filmed mostly in my native country, Malta. I was particulary impressed by the focus point of the story. This is not a movie about terrorism, but it is a movie about the …

One thing that really impresses me about Anthony Hopkins is how he can play a criminal mastermind and yet play it to the point you actually have to be impressed with him.
In the movie Fracture, he plays a man who shoots his wife, is captured minutes later and confesses. …

Synopsis: Evil super villain MegaMind finally succeeds in destoying his archnemesis Metroman and, after conquering the city and discovering he just didn’t feel complete without having a good guy to fight, attempts to create one of his own; only to have his new creation turn evil.

I see a lot of similarity between the actresses, Melissa Joan Hart and Alicia Silverstone. They both got famous due to teen related material and they cannot seem to go beyond that. Alicia Silverstone stuck in the “Clueless” and “Excess Baggage” phase, while Melissa Joan Hart got stuck in …

My wife and I intended on watching Last House on the Left last night. But, the kids were still awake and we knew we would like the movie better if we had peace and quiet. So, instead, we ended up watching the Stephen King movie Shawshank Redemption.
This was the …

The book is written by Stephen King, the movie is directed by Stanley Kubrick. You can say these two guys are masters in the industry, to come up with an idea like this and to bring it to life.
Every Saturday is what I like to call movie night, but …

Star Wars movies that take place before “A New Hope” don’t have the best track record. When Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, however, they decided to take another crack at it.
Was this a way to milk the cash cow beyond just doing another trilogy? Yeah, …

Out of all of the Star Wars movies that came out in the 90’s, episode VI “Return of the Jedi” is my favorite. I had thought that the first two films made in the 90’s were incredible and that nothing could top them, but “Return of the Jedi” was …

Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …

My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …

Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder was the second movie made with these characters. As a sleuthing private eye concept, it really wasn’t bad. I saw that because like the first movie, I didn’t have the urge to change the channel. It was an okay backdrop …

I thought that the movie the Great Debaters was an excellent movie. I know that there are a lot of movies like this one, about racism or slavery but this is a good movie. It isn’t like all the rest; it is a totally different movie. It’s …

I like historical dramas so when I found out about The Butler I knew immediately that I just had to see it, even if I wasn’t able to view it in theatres at the time. Shortly after the amount of bad reviews and ratings it had received from regular viewers …

The Time Traveler’s Wife is a movie starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. It is based on the novel by the same name which was written by Audrey Niffenegger.
In the movie, Henry (Bana) has a genetic abnormality that causes him to time travel. He cannot …

The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …

I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …

I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …

This is the new movie that I just watched this movie yesterday in cinema. I’m so excite to watch this movie because it’s reveal who really Wolverine in the past time.
X men Origins : Wolverine starred by Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, the same actor who act in the movie, …

It’s amazing how much of a learning tool Netflix has been for me. I rented “Carandiru” without ever hearing about the inmate/police riot that occurred in October of 1992. I know that I wasn’t really up on world events during that time. But knowing …

This movie is about Death itself, coming to earth in a human form to learn about what it is like to be alive. As its host, Death chooses a young man, Joe Black (Brad Pitt) who is hit by a car. Joe (now Death) goes to the man whose …

Me and my eleven year old daughter watched this film together recently on DVD. My daughter had already read all the books in the series and had mixed feelings about the film. It’s always the same though, I told her, when you’ve read a book and loved it then …

I am reviewing the Walt Disney movie, The Incredibles. This is one of Disney’s newest films. So there are these super heroes. They save the world day after day. They are called Incredibles. They are a sub species of their own, kind of like the X Men. …

This movie is an absolute fantastic one! It has a very simple plot which made me think it was too boring and way too ordinary, but when my friends and family urged me to watch this I finally did and was so awed with Liam Neeson here! The movie …

Recently, Disney released their classic “Sleeping Beauty” on DVD. It’s a 2-disc version, with some great fun bonus features, and (of course) the movie.
When I was a kid, this was one of the few movies that actually managed to thrill me, and yet scare me in at least …

Tim Robbins does an amazing job in this film as an american war veteran who suspects the government is trying to hide something for him. He suspects that he and other soldiers where affected by some form of drug during wartime and he desperately tries to prove this, but …

I watched the movie Trains Planes & Automobiles a long time ago and didn’t remember a whole lot about the movie. So, when I got a chance to watch it again last night, I decided to (there wasn’t anything good on TV now that Monk is off the air).

I am reviewing The Case of Harry Croker, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, stars …

I think American Beauty is a very strong movie with lots of issues involved that are perhaps much closer to home than we can ever imagine. When I first watched this movie on the cinema, I thought that it is something like a Desperate Housewives setting TV drama with …

When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …

When I read the description of the 2006 movie Hatchet, I figured it was going to be a low-budget film that relied heavily on blood and gore and not much on actual plot. Sadly, I was correct.
While the movie did have flashes of potential, it turned out to be …

I have seen a book entitled “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” in my aunt’s library at her house which was written apparently by the author Mark Twain. However, I have never made an attempt to read the book so I am not sure if it is related …

Half Nelson is one of those movie that you absolutely have to watch more than once just because you can never get all the details and all the meaning from the first time. There is not a single false movie in the movie, there isn’t a single acting moment …

Very engaging film about the famous horror movie director, James Whale, who made Frankenstein for instance back in the 1930s. In this film he is old, and wonderfully played by Ian McKellen. James Whale, who was openly homosexual, falls in love with his many years younger gardener, who at …

While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …

The 2008 movie, “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a movie that I have seen on the TV but flipped passed the channel because I assumed it would be like every other super hero movie. Also, because it didn’t look like it would …

I don’t get this movie. It starts off with a young man trying to get into the US Navy. He is approached and offered a late entry spot and he takes the opportunity. He goes under the usual regulated training as a US Naval officer, then the whole direction …

Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …

Robin Williams and Sally Field star in Mrs. Doubtfire. This movie is so comical it will keep you laughing for days. It is about a man and woman that get a divorce over the man always loosing his job and spoiling the kids. When Daniels ex-wife decides to hire …

Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
The writers behind this film weren’t much …

This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …

The Mask is a very funny movie. I really liked this movie. I think Jim Carey did a great job in this movie! He is a crazy party animal and he dancing. I really like how he plays with people and messing with them. I also really …

Based on the 1960 film of the same title and directed by acclaimed director of such films as Traffic and Erin Brockovich, Steven Soderbergh, Ocean’s Eleven is a cool hi-tech comedy. Starring some of Hollywood’s most popular actors, it’s the story of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), a newly released …
