Diamonds are Forever, movie
Picking up where “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” leaves off, “Diamonds are Forever” is one of the weaker Bond movies in the series and a personal low for Sean Connery. It’s a shame that the original James Bond returned for this one as he should have left the franchise …
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 …
Howl’s Moving Castle Movie
Hayao Miyazaki’s latest anime film is another supernatural story about a young girl who is put under a spell by an evil witch. She has to figure out for herself how to break the spell and meets the strange man named Howl and his magic castle.
The film is amazingly …
The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I don’t ordinarily enjoy period films. I typically find them boring, tedious, and kind of silly. Plus, there is usually very little that I can relate to in them. But when a relative told me to give “The Other Boleyn Girl” a chance, I …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …
Film “the horsemen” (2009)
I loved this film for several reasons. First of all when I watch a horror or suspense movie, there needs to be something scary in the first 20 minutes or it loses me. It can be psychological terror, but there needs to be something to draw …
Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …
The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon movie
I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …
Seven Pounds movie
Seven Pounds is a sad drama starring Will Smith and directed by Gabrielle M. who also directed the Pursuit of Happiness. The movie set a sad and tragical tone with Will Smith rather than his usual happy figure. You can expect to cry or feel sorry for the people in …
Freaky Friday movie
I was used to watching Lindsay Lohan movies even when she was still young. I bought a copy of this movie because I wanted to see if it was a good one or not since the tandem of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis is a little fresh. I …
View from a top movie
“View from the top” is an average movie about making your dreams comes true. It should convey a strong message of empowerment however the film is not that good. This is one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s movies and, may I say, not one of her best since it was a …
Madagaskar
I watched Madagaskar movie lately with my kids. They enjoyed it and loved it so much and I did too. I realy would like to encourange movie makers to produce more movies like this one. There are many nice examples too such as Nimo and Shark’s Tale. These are …
The Believer Movie (2001)
I have been thinking about watching The Believer movie for many years now. I have been attracted to this movie by the shocking DVD cover and poster for the movie. But every single time I took it off the shelf in the video store I felt very strong doubt …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
These days, when I think about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, I usually think of the short-lived TV series that starred Richard Dean Anderson. I loved that show. However, long before it came this 1954 movie with Howard Keel in the Anderson role. Joining Keel is …
Apocalypto movie
“Apocalypto” was a movie directed by actor Mel Gibson about a young warrior, Jaguar Paw living in the last days of a Mayan Kingdom in South America. I remember when the movie was released and being advertised my friends and I thought it would have been very interesting and …
Pitch Perfect (movie)
One of the movies that I was privileged to watch as of recently was an unexpected gem called Pitch Perfect. I call this unexpected because when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was much less than interested in seeing it. I was never much of a …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)

The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …
Out of Time movie 2003
Out of Time with Denzel Washington is an action packed, non-stop tension kind of movie.
Anything with Denzel in it tends to be good at the least—“ and this is no exception. He plays a police chief who gets himself into the most unbelievable heap of trouble you can imagine, …

This movie is the sequel from previous movie, the Fast and the Furious. It’s still always about racing car involved catching the bad guy.

Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …

No Country for Old Men (2007)
From the beginning scene of the aftermath of a violent drug scene gone bad through the end this movie features a series of violent scenes. All the men seem bent on men trying to cowboy up and deal with the problem in true Texas fashion: with more violence. Don’t …
Minutemen
The best words to describe the movie “Minutemen” is a teen version of the movie “Back to the Future” based in high school. Although this is another Disney movie with a high school story, one can never compare this movie to the very much renowned and loved “High School …

The Detective movie
Frank Sinatra starred in this 1968 vehicle called The Detective. He plays Det. Sgt. Joe Leland. Now frankly I’m not fond of Sinatra’s serious roles. I do enjoy him in musicals and lighter fare, but I’ve never been a fan of his more earthy roles as …

Argo (2012 Oscar-Winning Thriller Film)
Ever since watching Alfonso Cuaron’s highly-acclaimed suspense space film “Gravity” in cinemas, I have searched my way into watching more suspense/thriller films. I love the rush feeling of my heartbeat as I see protagonists trying to survive.
Argo was that kind of film. The first time I watched the movie (2 …
Storm Warning Movie
Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The Movie
I waited for the release of this movie if only because it was going to be their first in the series to be shown in IMAX-3D. I was happy that there was an IMAX theatre in my area, and I spent the better part of the week convincing my …

Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …

The Triangle - Part 1 movie
I’ve always been interested in the Bermuda Triangle so any time there is a decent production relating to it, I like to watch. I make the qualification about being ‘decent’ because there are a lot of very weird shows that are sub-par, so I try to weed those …
