Spring Breakdown
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …
The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …
Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit movie
The latest Wallace & Gromit film is the first one with these to characters to come out in a long time. Everything about it is just so good as you could ever ask from an animation film these days. Excellent look, believable, funny and interesting plot. Most of all …
Movie Stargate
We like to watch movies, it is one of favorite pastimes. We saw the movie Stargate on cable last week. It starred Kirk Russle and it was very well done.
In this movie the opening scenes show a dig in Egypt in the 1920’s a young girl …
Grease
My wife and myself both work hard looking after our two children and so once a week we always make sure we do something special for us it normally is on a Friday or Saturday night, and what we normally do is the usual bath time routine with the kids …
Murder in Swingtime movie short
Murder in Swingtime is a movie short that features Les Hite and His Orchestra along with vocalist, June Richmond.
The interesting thing is that as you go along, you are led to believe that there is going to be a murder. There is a lot of hype about this. …
Cowboy Bebop episode 2
In Cowboy Bebop, episode 2, cool dog’s strut is a marvelous excuse of a waste of time. Keeping up with Cowboy Bebop’s unparalleled style, the entire episode seems to be an excuse to write in Rin. Who is our new lovable bioengineered welsh carrier, that seems to hog …
The Fault in Our Stars (teen romance movie)
I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …
Music and Lyrics Movie
I have always liked Hugh Grant’s self deprecating, “am I sure this is where I should be?” persona that he brings to the characters he plays. That is not to say that he is a character actor, he seems to play the same person in every film, but …
SawIII, Lynn Bousman Movie
Cruelty and moral irony complete circle with the ‘Saw III’. As a conclusion, ‘Saw III’ will answer the various questions that arise after witnessing two previous films. John Kramer aka Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) in conditions that are dying because of concern by the illness. However, he still has a …
Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …
Lovelace (2013 Biography Drama Movie)
I heard about the famous pornstar Linda Lovelace, but I didn’t know much about her. Therefore I was interested when I heard there was a biographical drama in the making for a movie about her life as a pornstar. I wanted to know what made her stand out so much …
Ghosts of Cite de Soleil (R, 2006) movie
A friend brought over a copy of this movie. I immediately thought of the City of God, although that film takes place in Brazil. Anyway, this film features two young Haitian men who have been called to serve in an army called “Chimeres”. These are basically …
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 …
Count Duckula cartoon
“Count Duckula” was one of my favourite cartoons as a child. I loved everything about it, from the theme song to the drawings and the plot. However, the only thing I disliked was the fact that I would rarely see it on local television. In fact, of the few …
Boss, a telugu movie
casting: Nagarjuna, Nayana tara, sunil
Boss is an average movie. Music and songs are also below average. There is no stuff in the movie. No message… nothing. This is just time pass movie. This time Hero Nagarjuna took wrong step in choosing the story. The best part of the movie …
Hills Have Eyes 2, The (2007)
The Hills Have Eyes is a sequel to the first. I felt the first was a pretty good movie, and I felt the same about this one, because it continued the storyline from the first, explaining the reason for the mutants attacks on everyone.
These “mutants” have been a victim …

Milk movie
I recently saw the movie Milk with Sean Penn. He is a really good actor and played this part perfectly. I wasn’t familiar with the real Harvey Milk, but I felt like I was after watching Penn’s portrayal.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay councilmen to be elected …
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 …
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …
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 …
Click movie
In this movie Adam Sandler plays a hard-working professional always pressed for time who gets a hold of a ?universal remote control? that can actually control life itself ? make it pause, fast forward, and rewind. At first, Sandler?s character, Michael, is overjoyed. When he cannot remember what song …
Frost/Nixon
I am not an American, and do not know much about American history so I did not pay much attention to the movie Frost/Nixon when it was advertising to be released in theatres. However, I ended up having to watch this with a friend because of a mix up. …
Happy Feet
Cut to a scene of a baby penguin being born. Named with the adoring name of Mumble. Waddling around, trying out his new feet. Cut to another scene, the same penguin, a little bit more grown up. Forbidden to dance around others, he finds a …
Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
Reaching for the Moon movie
Reaching for the Moon from 1930 starred Douglas Fairbanks as Larry Day, Bebe Daniels as Vivien Benton, and Edward Everett Horton as Roger, the Valet. Even so, one of the best parts of the movie was a small segment that included Bing Crosby.
Crosby played himself and only sang one …

I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
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 …
Underdog the Movie
Just imagine Lassie with super powers, Good Boy with manners and you get Underdog. If you loved watching movies featuring animals, then you probably already know how this movie will end. It was really painful to watch, and I had to endure it for a long time since I …
Movie Hercules
Hercules was the Son of Zeus, born on Mount Olympus, but kidnapped, lost and brought up on earth by adopted parents. As Hercules grows through adolescence, he learns of his true father and also learns of his true home on Mount Olympus. He must then prove his worthiness to …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
50 First Dates movie
Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …
Strange Wilderness (starring Steve Zahn)
I went to watch Strange Wilderness before with my best friend and we were just choosing it at random. The cast is pretty unknown to us except for Steve Zahn, which I couldn’t quite put a name to him. And if you are trying to find Bigfoot, you …
Waking Life (R, 2002)
This movie really seemed strange when I first read about it on Netflix. But then a friend rented it and I was so excited about the animation, and how the conversations just flowed from scene to scene. I would advise most people to refrain from engaging …
Contraband (2012 Movie)
With so many movie trailers exploiting all their best parts, it’s rare that a movie is better than I expected from the trailer; this is the case with Contraband. I expected a fast-paced, “Gone in 60 Seconds”-style movie, and while it delivers that, it delivers a lot more.
There are …
Movie: The Apple Dumpling Gang
I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a movie I have yet to see in its entirety; The Apple Dumpling Gang.
And, once again, I missed the first few minutes of the movie. But, at least I saw enough of it to know it wasn’t a …
Divergent (movie)
Divergent was one of those movies that I found really didn’t stand out enough for me to notice it at the time that it was released. I decided to watch it after several people told me it was a good science fiction movie even though I had my doubts about …
Movie UP
Brilliant; refreshing; fun for the whole family. Need I say more?
Disney & Pixar Animation Studios have out done themselves yet again. Packed with adventure, GOOD moral values, and family friendly humor, this movie easily captivates one’s imagination. Most importantly, however, not only will the children be entertained, but the …

Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal
My wife and I were flipping channels the other day trying to find something that wasn’t a re-run we’ve seen 100 times before. After a frustrating search, we decided to watch the made-for-tv movie Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal, which is apparently based on a true story we never …
Letters from a Killer movie
Letters from a Killer (1998) is a thriller that some still have a hard time watching, not because of the action on screen, but what happened off screen. It was while shooting this movie in California, that Patrick Swayze went head-first into a tree and almost killed himself. It …
2 Guns movie
The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …

In this movie, murder …
