Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …

This is the story of a man who is thrown in the middle of the American Civil War and the trials that he must go through. On the flip side of that situation is his journey, a journey that he makes back to the arms of the woman that …

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Last night I watched for the second time of this movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This movie is for all of age, and the story is about the kid who win the ticket to enter the Chocolate Factory, so it’s nice to watch by children accompanied by parents …
American Psycho
Christian Bale shines in this movie, being a very ‘bad’ person, if you get what I mean. I think he’s a real psycho deal in this movie, and his character is really so convincingly bad, that I think most good looking guys like him are real bad. This …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I was one of the many fans who waited for the movie. When it came out in the Philippines, I lined up for it together with some friends.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells about how James (Hugh Jackman) came to become Wolverine. It started when he killed his friend’s, Victor …
Cow Belles
If you’re looking for a good movie that gives you a plot that’s a little different than the other movies you’ve seen then Disney’s movie “Cow Belles” is one you’ll want to avoid.
After finally getting to see the entire film, I can say it is good. But, it’s nothing …
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
What you need to do while watching this movie is thank you lucky stars that you don’t know anyone like these people for if you do, you would be just as messed up in the head as they are. Then again, if you are just like these people in …
The Cat From Outer Space
There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …
Heat
“Heat” is an incredible drama/action movie with two brilliant movie stars sparking energy all the way Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. This is the first time Pacino and De Niro worked together after “The Godfather II”. What is also interesting about this movie is that it …
10 Things I Hate About You Movie
Since watching the recent Batman movie, The Dark Knight, I have been intrigued on watching more Heath Ledger films due to his brilliant performance. I remember years ago my friends going on about this film, so I decided finally to rent and watch it, and I absolutely loved it.
It’s …
Movie: The Help (2011)
My family watches a lot of movies, we have cable television and borrow movies from the library. One of the best movies I have seen so far is “The Help,” a movie adapted from the book by Kathryn Stockett. It is a factual and accurate account of life for …
Craig Gillespie’s Mr. Woodcock, movie
I cannot say that I have always been a huge Billy Bob Thorton or Seann William Scott fan, but I did like Bad Santa and my husband enjoyed American Pie so we decided that we would rent this particular movie to watch one night after the kids went to …

A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
The Others Nicol Kidman Movie
The Others, enjoys the wonderful play of Nicole Kidman. The nice fact about this movie is, you should watch the film until the last second to know what has really happened. Nicol Kidman’s acting is really, admirable, as ever. Beside her natural beauty, her mastery in acting attracts you …
Troll (1986 Film)
The 1986 film “Troll” is in one word, eerie. Now, being used to the creepy and spooky bump in the night films of the modern day, movie lovers may wonder what a 1986 movie may hold in the eerie department compared to a movie of today. But it’s the …

We saw an ad on tv that said that you could rent movies from home for only $8.99 a month . The ad also said that you could get a free month’s membership just for signing up . We decided to give a try , and I’m glad that …
Die Hard
We like movies and we go to them alot. We also would rather watch a movie on TV rather than sit through many of the series that are presently available on TV.
I like to watch certain actors and one of them is Bruce Willis. In the …
Last Vegas (2013 Film)
Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …

Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.
Funny it is, ’cause the movie “Fog” was really trying hard to be classically sophisticated sci-fi. Well, no it isn’t. Though, the graphics was seemed great and modern …
Inspector Gadget’s Last Case
I recently introduced my oldest daughter to the Inspector Gadget cartoon series I grew up watching and she loved it. So, as a special treat for finally trying a new food, I let her watch a full length Inspector Gadget movie; Inspector Gadget’s Last Case.
While she seemed to like …
Winning of the West movie
I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …
Monsters Vs. Aliens
Monsters versus aliens is a DVD that I recently purchased and watched with my kids one day. I know that for many of us that have kids we are probably sick of watching kids movies all the time, but Monsters versus aliens is a movie that I could watch …
Desperado
“Desperado” was one of those films which I had put off seeing for a very long time. Even though I did not know what it was about, I somehow felt that it might resemble too much of one of those Stephen Segal flicks I hated watching. I also was …
Movie The Hangover
The Hangover is a great movie. But of course, do not follow what these guys have done. Basically they are on a romp for a guy’s night out, so to speak for the about to be married friend.
But things took a wrong turn when the groom …
“Ice Twisters” the movie 2009
Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …
Blood and Chocolate Movie
Before watching the movie “Blood and Chocolate”, I had a completely different interpretation of what we call werewolves or “lycanthropes” were. I had always thought they were crude, scary and disgusting looking creatures since that was how I have always seen them portrayed in movies. Never once had I …
Scary Movie (2000)
This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …
The Dark Knight
The Dark Night lives up to all of the hype surrounding its release and deserves the overwhelming amount of money it earned. The open sequence is a perfect introduction to the main villain of the movie, the Joker. A bank heist …
Secret Window
Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World 2010
This is one of those movies that looked really bad in the previews and yet I still went to see it. I am not quite sure why I went to see it but I can say that it was as bad as the previews looked. This movie is about …
Chronicles of Narnia Movie
I am a huge Chronicles of Narnia fan and have read all of the books in the series. So when I heard that a movie was coming out, and that Disney was doing it, I was way excited and had high hopes and expectations. Disney did not let me …
Movie: Clash of the Titans (2010)
Synopsis: Demi-God Persius must go on a quest to figure out how to kill the Kraken before it is unleashed on Argos after the city’s citizens declare war on the Gods.
What I liked about this movie: I loved the original film that came out in the 80s and this …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …
The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band
My absolute second favorite Disney film ever, and one of my all-time films of any kind, is the somewhat unknown, “The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band.” With Buddy Ebsen, Janet Blair, and Walter Brennan as the lead performers, the film also reunited John Davidson and Lesley …
Veggie Tales: Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s
If there’s any question about the Veggie Tales movie “Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s” and how good it is, I want you to keep this in mind. We picked it up for my daughter through Netflix three weeks ago. She has watched it 2-3 times each day since that date …
Movie The Enforcer
The Enforcer with Clint Eastwood and Tyne Daily.
Of the Dirty Harry series, I suppose that this sequel is the most tame. It deals with political correct issues and the gentler side of Inspector Harry Callahan. When the opening scene proved to be vintage …
Movie: G-Force
Well, I finally got around to watching the movie G-Force with my oldest daughter last night; as I have been promising her I would do for some time now.
You know what, the movie really wasn’t worth the wait.
I will say the film did have some cute and funny moments. …

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, …
Population 436
Once again, a movie I’ve never even heard about before turned out to be a pretty good thriller for our weekly movie night.
When I came across Population 436 on my movie channels Wednesday night, I had no idea what it was. But, I was a bit tired and didn’t …
G.I. Jane Movie
In what could probably be described as her “Showgirls” come back, Demi Moore stars as Jordan O’Neill, a naval sergeant who becomes the test subject of female allowance into the elite Navy Seals program.
This excellent action-drama is one of Moore’s best performances, in my opinion. As O’Neill, she struggles …
