As I was searching what movie to download one day, the film “Hachiko: A dog’s story” caught my attention. I am always fond of watching movies in which animals are the main star of the film. This is about the loyalty of a dog named “Hachi” to his master, …

Jack Reacher 2012 Film
I recommend this film to all lovers of action films and thrillers. This film was created with a very good sense of what the lovers of these genres want.
I surely enjoyed the two hours that I spent watching this film. Even though the quality of the streaming video that …
Hoosier Schoolboy movie
The beginning of Hoosier Schoolboy introduces the audience to a town divided by some kind of milk strike. The farmers are being accused of high pricing, so milk is being brought in from elsewhere. I have to admit, in my entire life, I have never heard of …
The Shawshank Redemption
The Shawshank Redemption is a very good movie that may take you several times of watching before you really get all the little nuances that are going on. At least for me, that is what happened. I got the big picture right away, but it took several viewings to …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …
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 …
Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my most favorite musicals. I love the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber (I think he’s a genius). I especially love ‘The Music of the Night’. That’s why when I heard that it was going to be made into a movie, I …

Movie Cars
I love the Pixar movie Cars, as does my almost three year old daughter. Cars is my second favorite movie in the Pixar lineup, behind only the Incredibles. I’m still trying to figure out where to put Wall-E in the list.
What’s there not to love about Cars? …
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 …

Viggo plays Nikolai, an undercover agent working inside …
Limitless (2011) Movie
If I had to describe limitless in one word, I would describe it as intelligent. Normally when we get a movie that isn’t either a comedy or a horror movie, nine times out of ten, I’m not that into it.
Limitless is an awesome Sci-Fi thriller about a writer …
Movie Intolerable Cruelty
“Intolerable Cruelty” is a romantic comedy, where the actors, George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones have a lot of on screen chemistry. According to rumours, it seems that Clooney really looked eager to develop a relationship with Zeta Jones even off screen; however the actress didn’t seem interested in …
Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 7th or 8th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say it, I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.

Project X (movie)
“Project X” is one of the most exciting movies I’ve watched since the beginning of the summer. Funny enough, even though I’ve been more interested in action movies, this is more along the lines of teenage and college humour. In fact, the movie was actually one of those teen …
Max Headroom movie
From 1985, Max Headroom introduces a really unique new concept to television viewing. In fact, you really have to be open to something different when you go into this, and not only that, but you need to stay focused on what is happening throughout Max Headroom or you’ll …
The Pool
Yesterday, my boyfriend brought along this DVD title, The Pool which he got stashed at his home and my siblings were getting a freak movie treat yesterday. This is actually something like a teen flick, but then again, I would still label it as a ‘Psycho’ movie. To …
When Love Begins movie
Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …
Movie Pretty Woman
Pretty Woman is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it very much. I still love that movie after watching over hundred times in all these years. This Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starred movie is one of the greatest romantic movies of Hollywood …
9 (animated movie, 2009)
Nine is an animated movie set in a post-apocalyptic world in which machines have taken over and killed all human beings. If this concept is not sound terribly original. It isn’t. However, the movie is entertaining. Tim Burton directed it. Some of the star-studded include Elijah Wood and Martin …
Robocop movie
Paul Verhoeven is a dutch controversial filmmaker who combines social criticism with main stream action and science fiction, and in my opinion this mixture is often very interesting. Robocop takes place in a future where criminality has grown out of proportion and the authorities do everything they can to …
Movie City of Angels
City of Angels is a movie that stars Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. In this movie Nicholas is an Angel who retrieves souls as they are on their way to heaven. The movie is eerie in the premises that Angels are among us all the time, they smooth …

STAY ALIVE MOVIE
Video games are a big industry in the 21st century, so of course i movie would come out that has everything to do with them. Stay alive is pretty much like Tron except without the ligh bikes, the cool story and the ability to make you stay awake long …
Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.
David Copperfield (Daniel Radcliffe) is born 6 …

Iron Man 3 (movie)
I didn’t get to watch this movie around the time that it was released in 2013 for numerous reasons. Still, I remember lots of Marvel and Iron Man fans claiming to hate it after they had seen it including one of my own family members. At the time so …
Movie Silence of the Lambs
This spectacular movie has my most favorite film monologue ever and it’s probably the most memorable one as well. It was delivered quite eloquently by the legendary Anthony Hopkins. This film, “Silence of the Lambs” is nothing short of a
masterpiece. Based on the gripping novel by the author Thomas …

Movie Juanna Mann
I used to hear my friends in high school talking about the movie Juanna Mann a lot and how hilarious it was, but I didn’t know what they were talking about until it premiered on comedy central one Saturday. I was so used to my frieneds telling me how …
James Bond - Lots of Quantum, No Solace
I am extremely disappointed! To the point of almost tears… So i finally got a chance to go see the latest Bond film, the Quantum of Solace…and Daniel Craig has managed to, single handedly, make me scream in agony.
I definately agree witih sir Roger Moore …

The Interview - (2014) Movie

Dracula Untold (Movie)
Dracula Untold is a 2014 action, drama and fantasy movie directed by Gary Shore. After knowing it’s title I thought it would be some sort of vampire horror movie, but after I watched the trailer it didn’t seemed scary to me at all. In fact, I found the movie to …
Disturbing Behavior
One advantage of having a trial of ShowTime for the next three months is I get to see some movies I haven’t seen in a while. This included the movie Disturbing Behavior.
Even though the plot of the movie skips around a bit and is weak in some spots, I …
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 …
America’s Sweethearts movie
A winsome salute to classic comedies, this movie produced by Columbia Pictures in 2001 brings together an award-winning ensemble to deliver a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of contemporary behind-the-scenes Hollywood.
In the movie, Kiki (played by Julia Roberts), is the personal assistant of the beautiful superstar Gwen (Catherine …
Sully (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …
Movie : Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a really funny movie! My wife and I watched it the other night and were both pleasantly surprised. The movie features Jason Segal (who plays Marshall on “How I Met Your Mother) and Kristen Bell (who starred in the recently canceled “Veronica Mars”). …

Doc McCoy, played by Alec Baldwin, and his wife Carol McCoy, played by Kim Basinger, are out for one more score. Getting themselves prepared is not a very bad thing to day at all, and if one is to be good at the craft one does, then practice is …
American Beauty
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 …
Movie 21
This is one such movie that really gives an adrenaline rush to the spectators. Not only it proves to be a full-fledged entertainer but also teaches us that greed always leads to the downfall. The movie is about gambling and how one can get addicted to gambling and …
