Chernobyl Diaries 2012 Movie
I honestly expected more from the creator of Parnormal Activity Oren Peli. Many people seem to have mistaken this for a found-footage flick possibly due to Peli’s first series Paranormal Activity being found-footage or the fact that even though it’s NOT a found-footage movie they still wave the camera …
Falling Down (1993) Movie
I tend to always watch Falling Down when it comes on television. I can always relate to film and literature that is misanthropic in its sentiment and, as movies go, this is better than most rubbish out there.
Michael Douglas plays William Forster who has apparently cracked …

End of Watch (crime drama movie)
“End of Watch” is definitely one of the best crime dramas in recent times. Here is a spellbinding, action, cop thriller, full of good performances and rendering a strong sense of comradeship. It is also about the realistic, ugly world of crime and drug trafficking. As is the case of …

Enchanted
I have heard mixed reviews about Enchanted around the web, so I decided to add my two cents. I thought this was a beautiful movie. It includes all the romanticism a Disney “princess” movie should, while adding the real life element to set it apart, and including references to …

Halloween By: Rob Zombie
When Rob Zombie’s remake of the classic “Halloween” came out in August 2007, being a big fan of the original “Halloween” film by John Carpenter, I was really looking forward to seeing it. Thought it was an interesting spin on the story to show more of what Michael Myers …
Sparkling Cyanide movie
Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …
Did You Hear About the Morgans? movie
Did You Hear About the Morgans? isn’t much of a stretch for Hugh Grant. He just played himself, a man who cheated on his significant other. I wasn’t impressed with him at all. He talked at, not to, Sarah Jessica Parker much of the time. …
Movie: Unknown
I have just watched the movie UNKNOWN starring Liam Neeson, as it is just showing here in the Philippines this week. As for the title, I don’t know, at first I thought it’s going to be some kind of alien stuff or some unknown territory like Mars or …
Movie Inkheart
I love fantasy movies and try to watch as many of them as I can, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The thing I did not like was that they had guns in this movie. In fact they had a lot of guns. And it is …

Director: Roland Emmerich. Featuring Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossum.
Since the first time I have seen it, it has been one of my top favourite movies. I am re-watching it a few times a year. It is full of action, drama and even a bit of comedy. It is …
The Possession of Michael King (2014 Horror Film)
I enjoy a good horror film, but unfortunately it is one of those genres that is becoming washed out with tired ideas and weak plots. Despite this, I still try to keep the hope alive and watch new releases of horror films. In this case I stumbled across The possession …
Roxanne 1987 movie
What a pathetic movie. The story is stolen from Cyrano de Bergerac, modernized and stupidified. Steve Martin plays a big-nosed guy, smart and good-hearted but unattractive. Then comes Roxanne, a beautiful scientist. A handsome but brainless fellow likes her, however he is so scared to show his stupidity that …
Movie 2012
I liked this movie. It’s another movie from Roland Emmerich, which I consider to be the master of disaster movies the likes of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. Apparently, he produced and directed this film for Columbia Pictures, which is of course owned by the …

Glitter movie
Beautiful and gifted young female singer longs for and eventually achieves great fame, but, in her quest, faces loss and tragedy in love and life.
This is a typical formula movie plot used for decades in films, with the exception that it exceeds the others in sheer awfulness.
“Glitter” was made …
Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …
Thr3e
This movie was definitely one of those that I will have to watch twice to figure out where they got one over on me. I enjoyed the movie and was really happy to see Marc Blucas, the former Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the ending was …
The Internship (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was a comedy named “The Internship” starring the popular comedy actors Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. While I didn’t think that it was the funniest movie that I had seen recently, I still thought that it was interesting and light-hearted …

DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (2008) Movie
I have waited a long time for someone to make a DragonLance movie. I would have preferred a live-action film but this movie is animated. Still, it follows the novel pretty well. This movie is not perfect but it is very viewable, especially if you’re not too fussy.
All …
Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)
P.S. I Love You (2007) is pure bliss. I love watching this DVD each time pretty much. I love looking at the way Hillary Swank acts and she always has this rapport with the camera.
I think the camera really loves her, truly. Holly Kennedy is …

Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime
Vampire Knight: Guilty is the second season of the anime based on the manga, Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino which is my favorite vampire anime, mainly because it is a shoujo, but still serious at the same time. The image on this DVD cover is of Ichiru and …
Underworld movie
I came to this movie with low expectations. I remembered reading unfavorable reviews of it when it was out in theaters. But I actually think it’s a good movie if you’re able to accept it for what it is - a fantasy movie about vampires and werewolves. …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Romantic Fantasy Drama Movie)
Even though it was considered as a popular award winning movie I had never gotten a chance to finish watching “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Nearly eight years after it was released in 2008, I finally got took the chance to finish watching it. While I had heard …

Hermione’s Dress
As I’m sure all you Harry Potter fans know, in the fourth movie, there was a dance called the ‘Yule Ball’.
