This film was a good one in that it seemed like one where the premise could be very real world. How often do many of us do things to quell our loneliness – things that when exposed to the light of day may not be a very...

If you’re a big Rob Schneider fan or someone who is easily tickled by crass humour, you’ll probably enjoy this movie. Otherwise, STAY AWAY and trust me on that one! Not convinced, Let me give you the basic premise of...

‘Analyze This’ is hard to define in terms of the typical mafia film.  Far from the gritty, violent crime dramas like ‘The Godfather’ or ‘Donnie Brasco’, ‘Analyze This’ is a comedy that seeks to spoof the genre. In...

Animations were never something I went gaga over and while an occasional ‘Kung Fu Panda’ is welcome, watching plastic dolls prancing for two hours isn’t my best description of an evening well entertained. And this is...

As someone who’s lived in Australia (the country, not the movie!) for a while, I can safely say this movie is all about stereotypes. It has a basic plot, but most elements in the movie seem like they’re designed to...

I love films that feature animals, especially dogs, because somehow, as actors, they always manage to wiggle their way into the viewer’s heart. While actors of the human variety often tend to be egotistical, temper...

‘Analyze That’ was an interesting look into a world that had been studied from other angles for years. Watching one of the most accomplished actors in classic mafia films was quaint at first, but became unsettling and...

Two years after the wild success of “Annie Hall”, Woody Allen presented us with another instalment in his anthology of intellectual New Yorkers and their misadventures in love. Allen plays Isaac Davis, a 42-year-old...

When the weather’s bad or you’re in a glum mood, you can treat yourself to two hours of solid entertainment by popping in “The Sting” with Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Robert Shaw. With a strong cast, excellent...

In the first decade of the millennium, Steven Spielberg immersed himself in his running man trilogy; films that included “Minority Report” and “AI”. In “Catch Me If You Can”, Spielberg again proves himself a master...

Defiance is a rare example of an otherwise well made movie that will have more than its fair share of detractors. The reason is simple. Director Ed Zwick keeps the narrative so linear and efficient that while it will...

Genre: Romance Director: John Ford Starring Cast: John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond In America, Sean Thornton (Wayne) was a boxer, but he retired from this career after accidentally killing a man...

If this movie were not so well done, it could easily be boring and I almost didn’t watch it because of that. It is a documentary of former Vice President Al Gore’s passionate campaign to save the environment from the...

‘Casino’ (1995) is a great mafia movie based on real-life mobster Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal. Robert DeNiro, as Sam “Ace” Rothstein, gets the lead role in this one and is supported by Joe Pesci as...

For anyone who loves the world underneath the oceans, and loves to discover everything that realm has to offer, this is the film to see. While it is not quite as well done as some others, it will provide an entertaining...

Here’s a horror film that makes use of one of the best types of comedy acts around: the ventriloquist and his dummy. The best horror films come out of simple things that appear funny on the surface. Anthony Hopkins is...

Cheers to Danny De Vito for directing what might be the darkest and funniest film in years. Armed with a cast of extremely talented and funny actors and a script with hilarious dialogue and interesting plot twists...

‘An American Werewolf in London’ is yet another of the “modern” werewolf stories. This time, two young American men are out backpacking across Europe, and they find their way out on the English moors. Of course it’s a...
