Shutter Island

The trailer for the Shutter Island was little misleading about the overall plot of the movie. While people that read the book would recognize the story, the rest of us would think it is a little super natural mystery. Never the less, you usually can’t go wrong with Martin Scorsese films. This psychological thriller seems to have combined great … [Read more...]

Outlander

Released in 2008, Outlander had limited release and didn’t receive too much attention. It was a shame more people didn’t get to watch this very entertaining movie. I recently had chance to watch this film in Blu ray and because I didn’t know too much about this movie, I expected B grade movie. Instead of SyFy channel grade movie, Outlander … [Read more...]

Invictus

Two Hollywood legends team up to tell the story of Nelson Mandela’s involvement with Rugby match. In Invictus, Clint Eastwood directs Morgan Freeman in the story about Mandela’s drive to bring the country together through the 1995 Rugby World Cup. To be honest, I did not need any prodding or selling to watch this film. I would watch a movie … [Read more...]

Avatar

James Cameron’s last film, Titanic, was the highest grossing film in the history. Cameron’s latest film eclipsed Titanic at the box office. Taking in over 2 billion dollars, Avatar has become the highest grossing movie of all time. Like Titanic, the big budget and overly hyped, Avatar had some worried that it might bomb at the box office. … [Read more...]

Minority Report

Released back in 2002, Minority Report is perhaps the second best movie based on Philip K. Dick’s novel or stories. I’m not sure if any movie can compete with the greatness of the Blade Runner. But, Minority Report gives it a good run as far as the overall story and acting. Combine great story, acting, and a legendary director in Steven … [Read more...]

Apollo 13

It’s always nice to see a great movie get the Blu ray release. Apollo 13 is a prime example of such release. Released back in 1995, Apollo 13 is one movie I’ve been looking forward to watching in high definition. Everyone can appreciate this human drama about space travel gone wrong. Even if you are not a science fiction or the history of space … [Read more...]

The Blind Side

You don’t have to be a sports fan to appreciate and enjoy The Blind Side. As a big sports fan, I’m little biased toward any decent sports movies. So, I was pretty excited to watch The Blind Side. While the movie lacked a true sports movie moments, it was one of the best movie offered by the sports genre. If you are expecting a big underdog or a … [Read more...]

sherlock holmes

I was fairly skeptical when I heard about Guy Ritchie’s remake of the one of the greatest character ever. Sherlock Holmes is without a doubt one of the most memorable and famous fictional character ever created. This isn’t mean to slight Guy Ritchie or his movie making skills. Guy Ritchie has made his name making a gritty British gangster … [Read more...]

Ninja Assassin

Produced by Wachowski brother and Joel Silver, Ninja Assassin is predictably an action packed movie. This isn’t to denigrate the movie or downgrade it compared to other cinema. Instead, we know what to expect from the people involved in this movie. While this movie won’t make you think long after the movie is over, it will give you a very … [Read more...]

2012

Only thing you need to know about 2012 is that it was directed by Roland Emmerich. You get the entire Roland Emmerich experience in the movie 2012. That is to say, you get exciting CGI, End of the World scenario, shallow character development, shallow plots, and things blowing up every other minute. If you have watched Independence Day and Day … [Read more...]
