(English Title: Legend of 1900) I don’t remember this movie ever being out the theatres, but I was in Japan when it was released, so I might have be tuned out at the time. I enjoyed this movie immensely. It was recommended to me by my friend Kazubo who is...

This is a very bad movie starring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron. I know, it’s my own stupid fault for picking it, as romantic comedies (romadies?) have never been Keanu’s forte. He was most excellent in Bill and Ted’s, and quite passable in Matrix (mainly because his job was to...

I really enjoyed this one, which surprised me quite a bit. It doesn’t pretend to be particularly deep, so as long as you don’t go in expecting a Nobel Prize winning theory on biomechanics, you should be pleasantly entertained for an hour and a half. Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston...

This movie is one of those faux documentary spoof kind of things that is filled with guest appearances of big name stars and a number of nobodies. It tries to be funny, but doesn’t really manage it. It was mildly entertaining at best. (*)

Freaky. Trippy. Worth seeing once, but make sure you pay attention because I really don’t think you’ll be watching it twice. Not because it’s a bad movie: it’s not. It’s an incredibly good movie. The actors, especially Ellen Burstyn, are fantastic. But it’s really hard to watch. At the end,...

An excellent film. It is about a mixed British/Pakistani family in 1970s Britain. The cast, script, storyline, pacing — everything — is excellent. It is a funny movie with a serious undertone. Or a serious movie with a funny undertone. Either way, brilliant. Highly recommended. It might not be on...

I like Matthew Broderick. I like him a lot. But he really tests my loyalty sometimes. The special effects in this movie aren’t really that impressive in a post-Jurassic Park context. The love-subplot is stupid. And, for that matter, so is the main plot. But the original Godzilla movies were...

For all its weirdness, I actually liked this movie. It will almost certainly turn into a cult classic. I don’t generally like musicals, but it was fun trying to recognize the pop songs in this very, very odd production. Some of the songs were changed so much I couldn’t even...

There is nothing that I can say about this movie that will do it any justice. It is a wonderful movie, and it is entirely thanks to Ben Kingsley’s performance in the title role. He is simply captivating. I wanted the movie to go on and on, telling me more...
