Movie Look (R, 2007)
Here is yet another movie that follows people with multiple cameras and angles—”and multiple story lines. If you like movies that have interesting and realistic characters, then this is the film for you. There are several different “vignettes” if you will—”only they are filmed from the perspective …
Batman Begins
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Batman Begins, staring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. I for one am not a huge comic fan or anything dealing with super-heroes and what not, but I really enjoyed this movie. Christian Bale is phenomenal as …

The Ant Bully Movie
When the movie The Ant Bully first came out on DVD, I kind of resisted watching it because I didn’t think it was going to be any good. However, my daughter recently had a family movie night at her school (which was actually a seminar about bullying but they …
The Monster Squad, comedy horror film by Fred Dekker
When I was a little kid, playing with my wrestling action figures with my brother, I would always wonder if there really were monsters. Normal children at this age most likely didn’t think about this but I did. Some times when I would do this my brother would pin …
Seven Pounds DVD
I rented the DVD ‘Seven Pounds,’ starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, fully expecting to see a romantic, heart warming story, much in the same genre as ‘Pursuit of Happyness;’ instead, I found it to be a mostly dark and agonizing tale, and even slightly creepy.
I do have to …
Les Amours imaginaires / Heartbeats movie

Ironman, new movie released on 2nd May 2008, one of best “machine” movie I ever see after Transformers.

The difference is ironman not a super biological person but rather …

Movie: Shutter Island
It has been a while since I actually watched a psycho thriller. Psycho thrillers are weird, crazy and scary, but I enjoy them a lot! Last week, I finally got my hands on a DVD copy of Shutter Island and I was oozing with curiosity with just what is …

Fright Night Movie
A couple of days ago I had the pleasure to watch again the remake of the 1985 film “Fright Night” , another remake of an old movie with Colin Farrell in one of the main roles. I liked it as much as the first time and let me tell …
Spy (2015 Comedy Action Spy Movie)
I generally detest most movies with the comedian Melissa McCarthy playing a major role in them because I just don’t think she’s that funny. However, when I was sitting in the theatre watching another movie and I saw the trailer for this one I decided, “Hey, why not give this …
Evan Almighty
It really is a good movie. For anyone out there that has had a tough week and wants to relax and just laugh; this movie is for you. It’s fun and yeah it doesn’t make you think too hard, but has plenty of little jokes for those who pay …
Phone Booth: Movie
Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.
I think the running length was good at just over 80 minutes, some films like this tend to drag on and you start to …
Sunshine (UR, 2007)
I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …
I Miss You Like Crazy 2010
Last February 2010, my friends and I have decided to watch a drama-comedy romantic flick starring one of the famous Philippine love teams today, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo entitled I Miss You Like Crazy. The film is about a guy named August (John Lloyd) who accidentally fell …
High School Musical: Bubblegum Pop
There’s nothing better than a hot cup of cocoa and a movie. Inasmuch as the acting is flat, the characters vapid and bordering on caricature, the music a work of a bygone age of pop, and a little too wholesome for high school, I had an amazing time watching …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …
The Day the Earth Stopped movie
OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.
This movie was nothing more than a rip …
50 first dates movie
50 first dates is a romantic comedy movie released on 2004 led by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The story begins with the Henry, marine-life veterinarians who met and have fallen in love at first sight with Lucy, a woman who suffers from a short term memory disease called …
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
These days, many small budget movies with lesser-known actors are becoming big news at the mainstream award shows like the Oscars and the SAG, not just the film festivals. “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is one film that actually slipped under the radar and, in my opinion, should …
Chain Letter Movie
When was the last time you received a chain letter either by email or text, and actually followed the directions and passed it on to someone. In my case never because I never believed in the hype of what chain letters can or cannot do. In the movie Chain …
Film Some Like It Hot
One of my favourite films of all time is Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and directed by Billy Wilder.
The film is a genuine classic, not some art house movie that everyone raves about for a month, never having really watched it or understood …
First Day High Movie
It was my younger brother’s birthday when we went out to watch a movie. After eating at a restaurant, we went to the cinema as my Dad asked us which movie would we want to watch. My younger brother have picked her choice so we watched First Day High.
First …
Movie Frozen River
When I took the time to watch the movie Frozen River this past weekend, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I heard good things about it. But, at the same time, I thought it would be difficult for me to side with characters who help illegal immigrants enter the …
Back to the Future 1 The Movie
When it comes to true movie classics, Back to the Future will always be one. Even if it’s basic theme is 20 or so years old, it has a great message and storyline behind it.
First and foremost, I love the Delorean, even if it’s an out-dated car today, …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …

Breakup movie
Not only is breaking up hard to do, but it’s hard to make a movie about something so intricately complicated as the ending of love. And yet, oftentimes the ending of a relationship doesn’t mean the ending of love. Seen in this movie is such an ending. The relationship …

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
This movie is a good movie but it just didn’t have something. I think that’s what they call ‘B’ movies. But those ‘B’ movies sure are fun to watch ! I love how this kind of wedding is depicted; all of the family, the traditions, etc. I love how …
500 Days of Summer: Movie
500 Days of Summer is quite an interesting, and unique film. I decided to watch it after hearing of comparisons with Garden State, which I loved.
The boy likes girl storyline has perhaps been overused a lot throughout the history of cinema, but this is written and directed in a …
Superbad (2007)
The movie Superbad was before it came out, and even soon after it came out, an extremely hyped up movie; everyone was talking about it. Now almost nobody even cares about the movie.
Superbad is a comedy that is based on how high school kids want to always fit in …
The Heatbreak Kid (movie)
We saw a movie at the Arundel Mills Mall theaters last autumn. If you are ever in the Baltimore Area, Arundel Mills Movico is one of the best theaters to view movies within this area.
Anyway, we went on a Wednesday night, like going during the middle …
X-men Days of Future Past (2014 Film)
I’m not what you would call a super duper die hard fan of X-men comics, but I do enjoy the movies and have followed them since the very first one came out. I was excited for the newest movie in the X-men Days of Future Past, when viewing the trailers. …
Chef-2014, Drama, Comedy Movie
The main word I can say subsequent to watching this is “Exceptional”. Jon Favreau is only a stickler in each field. He has written this movie, directed it and afterward nailed it as the lead performing artist. Subsequent to Iron Man 1 and 2, he proceeds with his splendid work. …
Hostel Part II
Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …
The Hot Chick: Funny Movie
I totally am not ever going to forget the “The Hot Chicks” movie by Rob Schneider. This is by far the funniest movie I have watch of Rob’s. I know he is a great actor, and is very versatile but I can never find any other of his role …
It rains on our love movie
Ingmar Bergman’s only second film shows his talent in its cradle. Bergman himself thinks the film is a disaster, but I found it rather interesting. The story is about a man and his wife that are followed by unhappiness. They start a new life together in a new house, …
Piranha 3D (Movie 2010)
It’s been ages since I have actually seen something as gory and as nude as Piranha 3D. Honestly, the last time I saw a movie like this was…never!
I watched this movie two weeks ago out of boredom. I was in the mood for something bloody and horrible when …
Jackass: The Movie (2002)
One of my favorite television series when I was in high school was a television series named “Jackass” which starred pranksters Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O. I used to stay up with or without my brother every Sunday night in order to watch it, and I found most …
Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …

Batman Begins Movie
This was Cillian Murphy’s breakout movie as Jonathan Crane a.k.a The Scarecrow and I think he did an amazing job here. He could do drama as well as action and he’s a newly-talented and famous actor for doing and completing this movie alone! Christian Bale portrayed Batman in this …
The Bucket List
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …
Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …
NETFLIX
Netflix is a great service that allows customers to rent movies with no late fees. For a low price under $20, customers may rent 3 at a time movies and keep them as long as they like without paying late fees. Customers may choose from a selection …
