Tyler Perry Madea goes to jail movie
Tyler Perry Made goes to jail is one of the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. I really had a great time watching all of it. It’s hilarious to see Tyler dressing up as a woman. She’s wearing this women outfit and she acts like a man. …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …

Supernatural:Monster movie

Ice Age 4 Continental Drift 2012 Movie
I will be one of the first people to say that when I saw the preview for Ice Age 4 Continental Drift released in 2012, I thought —˜Oh No, not another one!’ Not that I didn’t like the first three because I did. I loved them. I was just …
Mystery Men
There are times when you can take a cast of Hollywood stars and make a great film. And, there are times when you can do that and have a flop. The movie Mystery Men falls somewhere in between those two things.

Black Dog
Black Dog is an unexpected treat. It’s a movie that I’d normally never watch or even think about seeing, except for one thing — it stars my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. Patrick made this movie right after recovering from a near fatal accident when he’d been thrown …
Click movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I’ve been eying this movie since it was released in the U.S. last December. So, when it’s finally showed here in our area I did not hesitate to watch. Well, the trailer itself would give you some curiosity what is the movie all about. Actually, I haven’t read the …
Big Fish movie
“Big Fish” is a very unique film starring Ewan McGregor. When I say unique, I really mean unique. It is a very hard film to describe without spoiling the plot.
Pros: Tim Burton certainly used all of his creative juices in directing this film. The film includes …

28 Weeks Later The Movie
Another zombie movie that has its mind boggling puzzle on how it started because nobody explained what really happened as the movie started when the virus has been contained and has spread through out the land.
I just don’t understand why they needed to repopulate when in fact nothing in …
The Hobbit movie
The old animated depiction of Tolkien’s beloved story, the only version of it that actually exists, but since The Lord of the Rings was such an enormous success I believe we will see a new version of The Hobbit very soon. This animated version was made in a time …
Disturbia (movie)
I was not expecting much going into this movie. The only thing that drew me to it was the lead actor Shia LaBeouf, who I am a big fan of. I was thoroughly surprised at how entertaining and well made the movie was. The story is …
Wall-E
I took my entire family to see the Pixar movie Wall-E in June, 2008. Wall-E is a spectacular motion picture that is probably the most “adult” of any movie Pixar has released thus far. I say “adult” not because of any inappropriate content - the little robots …
SawIII, Lynn Bousman Movie
Cruelty and moral irony complete circle with the ‘Saw III’. As a conclusion, ‘Saw III’ will answer the various questions that arise after witnessing two previous films. John Kramer aka Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) in conditions that are dying because of concern by the illness. However, he still has a …
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (movie)
I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …
Despicable Me Movie
Rarely am I interested in movies, so it always comes as a surprise for me if I’m interested in watching a movie for a second or even third time. Despicable Me was such a great movie that I now have it on a regular weekend rotation. This movie, starring …
Premonition
Premonition is a movie I couldn’t wait for it to come out on DVD. I love Sandra Bullock and figured that this movie would be a great one to watch. I was wrong. Very wrong. This is a movie that is almost painful to watch. It is not written …
The Village.
A couple years ago, my wife and I thought we would be smart and, rather than spending money renting movies, we would just buy a new movie every couple of weeks so it would be in our DVD collection.
That was until we bought the movie The Village.
This is one …
Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …

The Dead Zone
King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …
Our Man in Havana movie

In this flick, Johanson stars as Charlotte, a soul searching philosophy major …
Jezebel
I was at a friend’s house recently and saw the movie Jezebel on the Turner Classic Movie channel, a channel I don’t get, but would love to.
The movie was filmed in black & white and released in 1938, a year before “Gone with the Wind” which is a similar …

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
Mr. Woodcock
“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …
The First Wives Club Movie
The First Wives Club is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The first time I saw the movie I was young, so I did not grasp the significance of both cast and the plot as a whole, but now that I am older it is one of the …

RomeoXJuliet Episode 23 begins with Conrad preparing for Juliet’s coronation, meanwhile Juliet heads to the Escalus tree to sacrifice herself to keep Neo Verona from falling apart and Tybalt tells Romeo of Juliet’s intentions and he goes to stop her.

K-Pax
I am reviewing the movie, K-Pax, starring Kevin Spacey. This movie asks the question, is there life on other planets? It explores just that. Kevin Spacey plays Prot, a being claiming to be from another planet. He is brought in to see a psychiatrist and stays …

That’s one of the most famous movie quotes ever, and it’s from this movie that captured the country’s attention upon its release. Starring Ryan O’Neal and Ali McGraw, Love Story is a powerfully emotional drama about two lovers from different backgrounds …
Chicago (2002) movie
If you liked the film Moulin Rouge, which was released around the same period of time in which the movie “Chicago” was released, then you might just like the movie “Chicago”. I was eager to watch it when I saw it advertising since first of all, I didn’t know …
Pretty Woman
I think there are two great all time romantic movies Gone with the Wind and Pretty Woman. How did a movie created in 1990 managed to be as successful as the very much renewed 1930’s classic movie? Simply - great actors, script, filming and director. This is …
