Known to be the first “slasher” film. It is about some sorority girls who get stalked by a psychopathic killer during christmas time. One by one they fall victim to his intelligent way of tricking them into his hands. It begins very promising with suspenseful opening sequence. But from …
Columbo: Columbo Goes to the Guillotine movie
Eleven years after the Columbo series left the year, Peter Falk returned to his legendary role in what would be a new resurrection for the character. No longer a part of the Mystery Movie weekly rotation or any regular appearance schedule, this began a string of made for …
Point Break movie (1991)
(Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey)
Point Break was an action packed movie and a half. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, a director known for pushing the limits and never pulling any punches, Point Break starts at a gallop and never slows down. This was also one of the …
Sex and the City The Movie
Sex in the City, The Movie was fabulous. I missed the HBO series because I don’t get HBO. Over two weeks, I rented all five years from Blockbuster.com and couldn’t watch them fast enough. Is it over the top sometimes? Yes. Is there any reality? …

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Movie 2011)
Okay, so I just watched this movie a few days ago and to tell you guys frankly I never hesitated, not one bit, about watching this movie. I have seen the trilogy and I know that this one “might” just be as good as its predecessors!
Basically, the plot is …
The Thirst Movie
The Thirst is one of the worst vampire movies I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot. I actually watch and review horror movies for payment and that means watching a lot of movies that I have no interest in watching usually. The movie follows a young girl who …
Jennifer’s Body Movie
I consider Jennifer’s Body as a teen horror movie. The film’s story revolves around a young girl’s weird transformation which changed the lives of everyone in their town. Jennifer becomes possessed because of some dark ritual performed on her, giving her inhuman abilities. In turn, she …
Mini’s First Time (R, 2006) movie
I don’t think I realized how much of a dark comedy this was going to be. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know that it would be funny at all. The movie centers around a family comprised of a pill-popping, boozing, promiscuous mother (Carrie Anne …
Ice Age
Pixar has set a whole new standard in animated films. Ice Age is not a Pixar movie. However, I stilled enjoyed it greatly despite not having the Pixar tag on it. Ice Age is great animated movie in my opinion. It is very funny throughout the …
Friday the 13th Part 4
Friday the 13th part 4 is a movie that most horror movie fans either really hate, or they really love. Personally I’m a big fan, which is saying a lot for me. I tend to lean more towards the Halloween films, but this is my favorite of the Jason …

The Return of Jafar is the second movie in a trilogy about this young man named Aladdin. After releasing t he Genie from his lamp and defeating Jafar, Aladdin tries to settle down and start his life with Jasmine. To cramp a cramp in his dreams and …
Inside by Dimension Extreme movie
This is definitely a must see movie if you a fan of gruesome horror. This is probably one of the bloodiest and most disturbing movie that I have seen in a long time!
It has a great story behind it. A pregnant woman loses her husband in a …
Iron Man (2008)
Another interesting movie I saw this week. But if you wanted a superhero movie like Superman you will clearly not find it in Iron Man, because it’s the antithesis of the ordinary loser who becomes a superhero as a consequence of a truly extraordinary event(I prefer those if you …
Shape of the Moon (2004)
Shape of the Moon is a documentary released in 2004. It has no narration, but is basically a cameraman who follows around an Indonesian family. It received rave reviews from Roger Ebert and other critics. It is shot entirely in Indonesia, and the language is Indonesian with subtitles. Despite …
Film Rocky
In Sylveter Stallone’s urban fairy-tale, the hero does not yearn for fame or to even win. His sights are set on the realistic goal of just surviving and not humiliating himself in the process. It is an allegory for life and also one of the most romantic films ever …
Dr. Strangelove (1964 movie)
I decided to watch this black comedy because one of my friends at school simply would not stop talking about it, I mean I’d never seen one of my friends so transfixed on a movie before. However, after seeing it myself I certainly understood his enthusiasm. This movie is …
The Dead Zone (1983)
A chilling story from master horror novelist Stephen King, this movie tells the tale of a man who awakes from a five year coma to find that his life is no longer what is was. Johnny Smith was in a terrible car accident that left him in a coma, …
Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993)
I have always loved satirical and fantasy movies and “Robin Hood: Men In Tights” is one that gives me the best of both worlds. I will say right now, this movie is not for everyone, but if you like satire, this is the one to see. Mel Brooks really …
“The life of David Gale” movie
History of sentenced to death, university lecturer and social activist divides the viewers. The film can be assessed in two ways. The positive side is its message and emotions triggered in the viewer, negative - a lot of shortcomings in terms of direction and screenplay.
Despite the various advantages and …
The Insanity (2016 Chinese Comedy)
The Insanity is a 2016 Chinese black-comedy film directed by Rao Xiaozhi, starring Wan Qian, Zhou Yiwei and Wang Zijian.
*I suggest you don’t watch the trailer, because it contains spoilers.*
I am speechless. I still haven’t gotten over the impact of the movie although it has been 2 hours after I …
UHF movie
A complete idiot takes control of a TV station by accident and gets the opportunity to make any broadcasts he wants.
UHF is one of those comedies from the 1980s that hasn’t really survived until these days. When it first came out people regarded it as very funny and original, …
Ice Princess
Some people do have talent but they don’t have the means. Others do have the means but they simply don’t have talent. This is the main storyline of “The Ice Princess” featuring the actress, Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame in her on screen main role as …
Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …
Garfield (2004)
Garfield, directed by Peter Hewitt is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for brief mild language. The original release date was June 11, 2004 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Comedy/Family and stars Breckin Meyer as Jon, Jennifer Love Hewitt as …
Movie Harvey
Harvey is a delightful motion picture from 1950 that stars James Stewart and Harvey, the invisible rabbit. It’s true. The rabbit gets excellent billing in the movie.
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, who is unusually pleasant about absolutely everything. He’s never in a hurry, and he never …
Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …
Malco Theatre Razorback Cinema
I went to the Malco Theatre Razorback Cinema to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie. I was impressed at how clean it was and the employees were helpful. They showed us where the theatre was and took are tickets before we went in. I’ve been …
As Good as it Gets Movie
I loved the characters played by Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear who star in this entertaining movie.

Dune movie
Opinions on this cult classic science fiction movie based on the novel of the same name are divided. A lot of people don’t like it, while others love it. I saw this movie well over 10 years ago and I was less than impressed. I daresay …
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 …
Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …
Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …
Fright Night movie
A 1980s mixture between horror and comedy in which a teenage boy suspects his neighbour is secretly a vampire who goes around the area to kill people at night. Of course he proves to be right and has to get help from friends and old vampire killers to survive …
The Aviator (2004)
I watched the movie “The Aviator” a couple years ago when I had either just graduated from high school or was still in high school. I can remember not wanting to watch it at first since I thought that it was probably going to be a little boring and …
The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2
The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 is a movie based on the last two books in the sisterhood but the movie does not follow the story line of the books. I absolutely hate when a movie based on a book goes all out of order. What confused me …
Resident Evil Apocalypse movie
Resident Evil Apocalypse is the second phase of Andersson’s work, linked to the successful game title Resident Evil.
This sequel, which would have been completely different from the first one, has made a lot of changes, but it remains steryl in the story.
Andersson, in fact, complicates his work introducing the …
Tamara movie
I ended up watching a movie I never heard of before last night. But, despite the fact it wasn’t well known, the film “Tamara” was actually an OK film.
The movie is a bit far fetched. Basically you have a girl who is picked on by her high school classmates …
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? …
Diary of the Dead, 2007 (DVD)
Wow.
There really aren’t words to describe this movie. I had heard not-so-good reviews about this film but knew I had to see it for myself. I wish I had heeded their call.
Diary of the Dead was crap. Plain and simple. I was so …
Troy
Four years after the epic movie “Gladiator”, Brad Pitt attempts to make a success out of another epic movie “Troy”. The only two things in common that these two movies have are that they were both filmed in Malta. While “Gladiator” was a huge blockbuster, “Troy” failed …
Accepted movie
“Accepted” is a funny movie for anyone who went through college or tried to get into college. If you ever sat through a class and wondered “why am I here?”, you’ll love to watch the characters in
Accepted as they avoid the normal, boring college experience. Althought it …
Moulin Rouge movie
In all honesty, I love this movie. Although I’m not a big fan of musicals, I found this movie to be very entertaining, funny, and romantic. The production was really something that amazed me and these are probably the reasons why it is one of my top ten favorite …

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
I could not miss this second instalment of Madagascar for the world as I had simply loved the first one. I caught this with my cousin and went with a high expectation, especially after the fantastic part 1. After all, the trailers for part 2 was also equally impressive …
Mulberry Street, horror film
We’ve all seen millions of zombie movies. Zombie movies are flooding the horror genre. Either original ones come out or terrible remakes. The director Jim Mickle went with a different approach with his plague movie. Instead of zombies taking over a city we have disease carrying rats!
Former boxer …
