The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
Donnie Darko movie
The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …
Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)
I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …
The Fox and the Hound 2
The Fox and the Hound is a good film for me. I really find it enjoyable to see a movie about friendship and love. I love dogs that’s why I thought of watching this movie. Its really nice to see them singing. Although its just anecdotal in nature an …
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
OK, maybe it’s because I’m a guy, but I just can’t understand the attraction of a movie about four girls who form a club based on a pair of blue jeans that happen to fit all of them.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is the definition of “Chick Flick.” …
Movie Mad Money
I can watch DVD movies back to back each time and one of the latest in my list would be Mad Money. Diane Keaton, the awesomely Queen Latifah and also Katie Holmes, wife of Tom Cruise star in this very good comedy movie.
These 3 women are awesome ladies …

The story of this …
Movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall
This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. It’s about this guy who his girlfriend dumps him and he ends up going to Hawaii, and his girlfriend ends up being there with her new boyfriend at the same time.
I thought it was overall …
FreeMovieOnly.com
I really enjoy movies so I most of the time search the web for new upcoming movies, critics, photos etc. A few weeks ago, I came across Freemovieonly.com, which is a blog with a huge movie database, in fact they have almost 700 movies and they put more everyday. …
The Lone Ranger (movie)
I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Lone Ranger” some time earlier on this year, but there was something about it that did not make me interested in seeing the movie, despite the fact that the actor Johnny Depp was playing a main character. I figured out …
High School Musical 3
STORYLINE
The movie opens with the Wildcats playing their final championship game. Though they trail during the first half, the seniors in the team realize that they need to play their best game as it will their last. And that is essentially what High School Musical Senior Year is all …
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite of all Wes Anderson’s movies, and, alongside several other films, is one of my favorites overall. The script, written by Both Anderson and frequent collaborator (and star) Owen Wilson (and nominated for an Academy Award), is, in my opinion, one of the finest …
Proof (2005)
“Proof” is a 2005 color movie in English lasting 99 minutes. Location work was filmed in Chicago. In someways “Proof” is a knockoff of “A Beautiful Mind” featuring Russell Crowe. “Proof” is not as well done as “A Beautiful Mind,” but still a good movie. In this movie Gwyneth …
Iron Man
This latest superhero movie from Jon Favreau, the director of “Elf” and “Zathura”, starring Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard, surpasses many others in the same genre, with a sly adult take on an otherwise rather two dimensional character. The special effects, while impressive …
I Am Legend (R, 2007) movie
I have finally gotten around to seeing “I Am Legend”. I wish that I hadn’t seen the movie… Or better yet, I wish that I had read the novel, or seen 1971’s “Omega Man” first. At any rate, I am not really a huge Will …
The Hunger Games movie
Hello people and let’s talk about “The Hunger Games.” . Now, before I start giving my opinion on this movie and any other following movies, you should know that I do not read books, not one bit; I just don’t find them entertaining enough. Moving on, the movie wasn’t …
And The Little Dog Laughed - Garrick Theatre
And I laughed too. A lot.
This a surprising, fun, funny, touching play. It is a bitingly satirical look at Hollywood stardom. That makes it sound somehow predictable and dull - but I assure you it is far better than the synopsis.
It stars Rupert Friend as Mitchell, a Hollywood actor …
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (2006)

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 …

Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …
American Pie 2 movie
I got bored Friday night and ended up watching American Pie 2 on one of our movie channels. I haven’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember much of it. It turns out there’s a reason why it wasn’t that memorable.
The first American Pie movie is a …
Schindler’s List Movie 1993
I was only 13 years old when this movie was shown in theaters, Rated-R as it is, it sends curiosity in my mind as i hear people talk about it everywhere. A Steven Spielberg Film, all would have judged it even without seeing the film, with high expectations of …
Movie: Blackbeard the Pirate

Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief : A Movie
Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief movie adaptation is one of the most interesting movie I have watched to date. I am a mythology fan and being able to see mythology merge with the modern world is a superb treat for me.
The Characters :
The creation of Percy JAckson’s character …
Casino Royale
Bond movies recently have not lived up to there predecessors from the Connery or Dalton days. So, Casino Royale is just another money grab with the 007 nametag right? Wrong. Not only is this one of the best Bond movies, it is also one of the …

Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian
Recently my kids and I watched “Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian”; we saw how funny it looked on its trailer and wanted to buy it. Immediately after watching it I wanted to do a review and decided on one thing: if a movie that …
Bad News Bears (2005 movie)
Remake of a classic…this movie lives up to the reputation that The Bad News Bears have been known for. It does not disappoint the original stories that it’s being based on. But it’s time for a reality check…this movie was never a good one to start off with. It …

The Devil Wears Prada is not only very entertaining, both for those that are interested in the fashion industry and for those who are not, but it is also an eye opening and touching movie that does force one to take a look at his/her own life and the …
The Man With The Golden Arm movie
This Otto Preminger classic features Frank Sinatra in his most famous movie part, as a gambling drug addict with a good heart who tries to hold his life together. An intense film that was controversial in its direct way of depicting drugs and drug addicts without putting any judgement …

Avatar movie
Last December 2009 I was convinced by some of my friends to watch Avatar movie of James Cameron but I was not really impressed when they told me it was more like a story of an alien thing so I declined. But when January 2010 comes, my close friend …
Save the last dance movie
I admit at the moment I am watching a bit of old teen movies mixed with the more recent ones. I can’t help but compare “Save the last dance 1″ with the more recent movie “Step Up 1″. I personally enjoyed watching more “Save the last dance” than “Step …
Hetalia anime chapter 16
In the 16th chapter of Hetalia’s animated version we finally get to know China, and he will tell the story about how he met Japan and how Japanese adopted some of the Chinese’s customs and their writting too.

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Haunted Echoes movie 2008
I rented Haunted Echoes because I love a good ghost story, and I noticed that Sean Young starred in it, a favorite actress from Blade Runner in the early 80’s that I don’t think I have seen too often in anything since. She is still lovely. This film was …
