This summer we are privy to a new edition in the overblown Hasbro franchise bandwagon with a new G.I. Joe movie. Unlike the other entries in this franchise it seems the producers behind this film have decided to change up the tone of the film and with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson behind the wheel, what can we expect? Here are six thoughts that come to mind. [click to continue…]

We are right at the end of the summer blockbuster season. Instead of enduring the heat or torturing the air conditioner at home and costing plenty of dollars, there is comfort in eating tubs of buttered popcorn, sipping on a giant cup of soda and experiencing the cool air inside a movie theater.

Whether you’re a science fiction buff, or someone who watches whatever is in the cinema, you can’t deny that any film instantly gets a boost from featuring one of our mechanized friends, or more often, enemies. With so many classic characters to choose from, here’s eight of my favorite. [click to continue…]

Alfred Hitchcock rightly said,” A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.”
Films actually possess the power to give in or take from us whatever they want. They are immensely powerful medium of expression with power house performances of actors grooving within their characters to make pictures larger than life. People are so moved by them that, now-a-days it’s becoming more like the social responsibility of film makers to make films which are special in some way or the other. But nevertheless, there are times when we as audiences have gone through immense pain, outrage and withdrawal while watching a particular piece of work just to find sometime thing exquisite, worth mentioning to someone but find nothing in the name of experimentation or just plain all and all blunders in the film. What attracts us towards to a film is the word of mouth, hype, publicity, trailers but thank god most of us miss many films in theatres and plan to watch them later. But a bad film remains a bad film seen anywhere; thus to spare you the horror of some films, listed below is my top 6 most unwatchable films of 2011: [click to continue…]

Hollywood loves its car movies. In 1977, Smokey and the Bandit introduced us to the snazzy Pontiac Trans Am and in 2006, we were introduced to Pixar’s humanistic, talking and oh so adorable, animated race car in Cars. Those two movies are just a few of the great race car movies Hollywood has produced. With so many to list, it is hard to choose just six to top the list — but here goes… [click to continue…]

Good-looking villains put us in a bind. Psychological studies seem to provide proof that we like beautiful people more, that we relate to them more because we see in them more attractive versions of ourselves. At first glance, it’s hard to hate someone when they look so good.
However, not everyone is good looking, and here’s where psychology does a complete turnaround. A person’s beauty can also be taken against him or her, particularly by other members of their own sex. In the film world, the common narrative thread used is that of the villain who uses their beauty. They are often vain and dislike people who aren’t as good looking as they are. They also use their beauty to raise their social standing or to manipulate others. [click to continue…]

Whatever we do, we have to admit it that we certainly love the thrill, the action, the passion, the fantasy, the realism that films provide us with. After all we all are addicts, movie buffers who want to be the first one to get a sneak peak view about their favorite film that’s going to come or their favorite movie stars. In the words of Alex winter,” I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that’s different than you imagine it.” I can proudly quote that I’m an addict, a sucker for movies and who wouldn’t to flaunt that cult status. At least I do. You talk about any genre and I’ll start jotting down my favorites from that one but there’s something about mystery that’s really picky and edgy. Some moving images have the power to keep you etched over your seats and give you goose bumps till you know who did what, what actually happened in the correct sequence of actions, how it reached the conclusion, in shot a typical mystery film. I want to talk about the greatest of mystery films that pulled us into the theaters right away. [click to continue…]

Top six all time favorite George Lucas Films
From space sagas to stoic adventurer archaeologists to rock and roll culture, George Lucas has succeeded in capturing them all in his career as a filmmaker. As the man who conceptualized two of the worlds most popular and beloved franchises (Star Wars and Indiana Jones), Lucas’ vision transformed Hollywood in the 70’s by resurrecting the epic movie with the help of technology. He was among the first to pioneer the use of special effects and elaborate set design while also insisting on the grand narrative of the film taking precedence over the individual stories of his characters. Here is a look at 6 George Lucas movies that should be a must watch for one and all. [click to continue…]

Top 5 American Presidents Movies Of All Times
American Presidents are having a good year at the movies. Well one American President is: Abraham Lincoln. A Steven Spielberg directed biopic, entitled simply Lincoln and based on the book A Gang of Rivals is due out later this year, with Daniel freaking Day-Lewis in the title role. And, earlier in the year, we have the gloriously titled Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which (regardless of the eventual quality of the film) has one of the best posters I’ve seen all year. Seriously, look at it: [click to continue…]

Horror movies are notoriously a critically neglected genre. When the average highbrow cinephile thinks of horror, he tends to think of some silly slasher film with no humanity and not an ounce of respect for its audience. Horror fans–true horror fans–know that this simply isn’t true. There are endless amounts of great horror films, often obscure and low budget. These films are filled with ingenuity and incredible ideas that put the fear in our hears without requiring that our brains be removed from our head in order to enjoy them.
Unfortunately, these low budget beauties are often overlooked (and as is more and more common) or remade into something that is…well, not much more than a silly horror film with not an ounce of respect for its audience. What is even worse is that often when this happens…the films tend to not even be the least bit frightening. Here is a list of five clunkers who are so scary for being oh so bad and un-scary.
