V for Vendetta (2005)
V for Vendetta (2005)
Director: James McTeigue. Featuring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.
In my eyes, the movie stands somewhere between greatness and boredom, all depends on how you like your movies. It is told in a non realistic, graphic novel style. The heroes are symbolic and …
Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …
The Hoax
This movie, The Hoax, is actually more catered to people with political interest in a story. There are about 3 characters in this movie. Clifford Irving, Howard Hughes and President Nixon, and it is based on a true story.
This movie firstly revolves around Clifford Irving, a writer, …
Choke the movie
I watched choke last night and I was extremely disappointed. I had
read the book before which I thought was very good and the movie just
didn’t stand up by comparaison. Maybe my high hopes for the movie are
what made me feel extra disappointed. I feel like they just took the
kinda …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
They Live a classically bad sci-fi flick
I’m actually old enough to remember Roddy Piper in his prime as a pro wrestler and when he left the industry to pursue a movie career. As the movie They Live proves, he should have stuck to wrestling.
Overall, it’s not a terrible movie. Piper plays a homeless man who …
The Golden Compass
This is a fantasy entertainer. The story is about a girl, and her adventurous journey to the land of unknown, and the film has lot of good special effects to back up this fantasy. It has an adventurous plot with a kid doing lot of impressive things and it …
Santa Sangre movie

The Danish Girl (2015 Film)
Period dramas are not that interesting to me unless they are released to compete for awards. Take for example “Age of Adaline”, it was very nonsensical and boring because it was solely made for entertainment. It was presented like it was a true story but it was purely science fiction.
Dramas …
Duma movie
Few movies that are noncartoon can entertain my two three years old. However, last night HBO was playing their new hit, Duma. From what I have come to understand, this is one of Walt Disney’s new classic movies about the life of a leopard and his relationship …
Wilde movie
A film about the controversial english author and poet Oscar Wilde who had to flee his home country when he openly declared himself as a homosexual. Stephen Fry is absolutely perfect as the exceedingly clever Wilde, and the rest of the cast is also impressive, especially Jude Law. One …
Sunshine (DVD)
This is without doubt one of the most horrible movies I’ve ever seen! It is truly awful and as I watched it, it grew worst and worst.
The way they filmed it is just ghastly. There are many scenes in this movie where odd colored bands cover part of …
The Heartbreak Kid
The best words that describe the movie “The Heartbreak Kid” is an attempt from the actor, Ben Stiller to make a successful movie similar to “There’s Something about Mary”. After nine years from “There’s Something about Mary” he teams about with the Farrell brothers to produce this movie, which …
The Closer you get movie
A team of unmarried men in a small irish village get tired of always being alone and puts an advertisement in the newspaper to make women come to their annual dance. Quite unexpectedly, women show up.
When I decided to have a look at this movie, I had read that …
Obsessed
I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch the movie “Obsessed” this past weekend. But, my wife wanted to see it and it was her birthday.
It turned out to be an OK film.
It is actually similar to many other films I’ve seen. You have a successful black guy who is …
Movie Cleopatra
In my opinion, the movie Cleopatra was outstanding and exciting till the last moment. The movie was broke into joyful sections, melancholy sections, and humorous sections. One of the humorous sections was when the Egyptian fleet was set on fire by Caesar; Cleopatra instantly went to meet him. Caesar …
You don’t mess with the Zohan
I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is its a little less funnier than previous Adam Sandler movies. Yes it has its funny moments but there are also a lot of boring and corny parts. The main story is about …
Nanny McPhee
“Nanny McPhee” is a great fantasy movie with a comic touch. This movie shows how great Emma Thompson is, as an actress, and as a script writer.
The story of this movie is about Mr. Cedric Brown, a part excellently interpreted by Colin Firth, who is a widow and has …
Casablanca movie
Of all the black and white films, this one is the best. In fact, many people consider Casablanca the best film of all time, and for a good reason. I myself can agree to this. The dialogue alone is so crisp, and no doubt about it, …
Smart People (R, 2008)
I expected a bit more from this movie than I got. But I should have known that because it was made by the same man who did “Sideways” —that the movie was going to be one of those occasionally humorous quiet, thinking people films. Usually …
Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …
Star Wars episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars in on the last movie the Revenge of the Sith. The movie tells the story of Anakin Skywalker as he becomes Darth Vader.The story also shows how Luke Skywalker and Princess Lila come to be. Have you evver wondered what happened to the mother? Revenge of the …
Movie Alvin and the Chipmunks the squeakal
I took my kids to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks the squeakal when it opened on December 22nd. I knew that my kids wanted to see it, but I prepared myself to be disappointed. I really thought the first one was cute, and I am used to the …
Robinhood Movie (2010)
I never knew Russell Crowe could emulate or do a better job than Gladiator, and the 2 movies are equally famous for it’s story and the actors and actresses involved. Russell Crowe as Robinhood was quite old, and I had first thought all the characters were too old for …
John Tucker Must Die (2006)
John Tucker Must Die, directed by Betty Thomas is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content and language. The original release date was July 28, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and stars Jesse Metcalfe as John …
Film Up
Could a thousand balloons filled with helium gas really uproot a house from the ground and send it hovering in the sky for many days? Is it really possible for an old man and a boy to travel inside a flying house in open air without feeling out of …
Doubt (PG13, 2008)
I have been skipping over Doubt on my Netflix list, because quite frankly, I couldn’t tell what the movie was about. And when I looked at the synopsis, I couldn’t really get a grip on the gist of the film. It seemed like some kind of …
Airplane movie
As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …
Hellboy: Sword of Storms
I am not the biggest Hellboy fan around. Never read the comic books. Watched part of the live action movie starring Ron Pearlman, but didn’t find myself particularly enraptured by it. So I decided to give his first animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms (also starring …
Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …
John Tucker Must Die
Before renting this movie, i had heard TONS of negative reviews. So who cares? The people who review movies in newspapers are CRAZY! Some of the best movies receive 2 or 3 stars, while absolutely atrocious movies receive 5! However, the fact that many of …
The Mother (2003)
“The Mother” will be a shock to people under the age of thirty who can’t imagine their parents having sex at all much less have casual sex and enjoying it. The 112-minute UK film tells about May, a woman in her late fifties or sixties, and Toots, her husband …
Suspect X - (Japanese movie with English subtitles)
I thought that this is going to be a super amazing movie story but it just disappoints me to the max. The actors aren’t that bad looking and quite talented and this is like a normal cop movie where Suspect X is the mystery in the story. Yukawa …
Murderous Affair: Carolyn Warmus story
I watched this movie on Lifetime movie network a couple weeks ago. Overall I really like the movie. I thought it had very good actors in it, and I think that is what made the movie so good. I don’t remember much it in detail but overall I do …
Silence of the Lambs Movie
This stunning movie is already considered a classic. Garnering five 1991 Academy Awards, it comes to no surprise that many of us still find it spellbinding.
Clarice Starling is training to be a FBI agent. When a psychopath is murdering women, Starling (Jodie Foster) was sent to interview a prisoner, …
Fallen Angels movie
This was the last film where Wong Kar-Wai used the same style he did with his earlier As tears go by, Hong Kong Express and, in some sense, The days of being wild. The difference between these films and his later, more sublime style, is that the story is …
Gormenghast Movie
A very unusual british film about a noble family in a state of crisis. Gormenghast is the name of their enormous mansion. It’s a more artsy kind of film than I had first expected, with long takes and innovative camerawork. It also has some interesting aspects in the mood …
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 …

A family of three relocates from their town lives to …
Living Out Loud movie
Living Out Loud is a very nice 2009 (though it was filmed in 2008) Hallmark movie about a woman who discovers she has breast cancer. The film follows her discovery, treatment, decisions, and recovery.
Gail O’Grady turns in a powerful performance as Emily Marshall, teacher, mother, and wife, who …
Step Brothers
I watched Step Brothers on DVD the other night and I was laughing so crazy! I do not realize that a movie starring just these two actors, namely Dale, acted out by John C. Reilly and Brennan, acted out by Will Ferrell could really be hand-clapping funny and fun. …
The Reeds movie 2009
The Reeds is one of this year’s AfterDark Horrorfest movies, of which I try to watch as many as possible since they tend to be of a little better quality than most lower budget horror genre films.
This film was set in London, with a group of friends taking …
Balls of Fury (2007)
Balls of Fury, directed by Robert Ben Garant is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude and sex-related humor, and for language.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
The other day I had nothing to do so I called a couple of my friends to go out and watch a movie. We got to the Famous Players at Metropolis and watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World; a movie I had been dying to see. The movie is …
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Mix the acting ability of Martin Lawrence with another great comedy actor Danny DeVito and you get a great comedy that will make you laugh non-stop. What I really enjoyed about “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” is the two main actors’ ability in bringing out the best possible …
Pride and Prjudice 2006
It is very rare that I see a movie of a book that I have read and that I like it. This movie, Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly was an exception. The film work was exceptional, the acting was superb, and the costumes were stunning. This is another …
But I’m a Cheerleader (movie)
I watched this movie a long time ago a little after it was released, but I don’t think I was old enough to understand it enough to appreciate it. I forgot about it for a couple more years until I saw it on television recently again. I didn’t think …
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004 movie)
For a movie that generated so much attention…it sure is boring. I tried to watch the movie straight tp the end, but it was hopeless. I couldn’t keep up with this movie as it didn’t have that staying power that a viewer looks for. It was long and drawn …
A Night at the Museum
“A Night at the Museum” is a great comedy/fantasy movie with the actor, Ben Stiller at his best. I personally like Stiller in the movies “Meet the Fuckers”, “The Heartbreak Kid” and “There is something about Mary”, however I also like him when he does something completely different, just …
