Shrek Forever (movie)
I totally forgot about this Shrek movie until my brother reminded me about it some time ago. It’s the fourth Shrek film, and even though I didn’t get the idea that it was as popular as the other movies, I thought that it was every bit as fun and …
Where The Wild Things Are movie
Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …

Bambi (Disney Movie)
Bambi is a very delightful movie and it’s very cool. I really think Bambi is a great movie for young people and even adults. The morals in this movie are good and should be learned by all. I think that Bambi looks really cue and he is very lovable. I …

The Screaming Woman,1972 movie

The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
The Taking of Pelham 123 is a pretty fast-paced kind of thriller movie that I enjoy watching very much. Bring your entourage with you to watch because this movie is just that thrilling fun. It kept me glued to the screen from start till finish. I am …
Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
Poltergeist (2015 supernatural horror movie)
In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
The 2005 film “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” came as a conclusion to an event in movie history, where the story came to an end and left me somehow wanting to know more. The film was not only graphically genius, suspenseful and sad, but it was one that …
Forbidden Zone, movie (1982)
We each have our favorite cult classic. But, there is one for me that stands as the best one. Nothing for me can match its style or zaniness, be it Buckaroo Banzai or Toxic Avenger. The blending of 80’s new wave with the vintage styles of …
Ex Drummer (comedy movie)
While looking for another comedy to watch, I came across a not-so-popular movie that was considered as a gem by a number of people who watched it. I was informed that watching it generally evoked one of two strong feelings in an audience as I would either love it or …

Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
Dead Silence (2007)
If you’re in the mood for some mindless scares, the recently released “Dead Silence” might be a good choice for you. I, however, find it too gory and frightening, and having no deeper message than “Boo!!” is, for me, a big turn-off.
The story is about a dead ventriloquist (performer …
Man of Steel, movie
I first saw this movie in a beautiful theater in downtown Los Angeles. The theatre was extravagantly stunning, but the movie undoubtedly one-upped it. I sat in the theater in tears after it ended, but laughing through the emotions at the witty ending. I loved how it provided a …
Notorious movie
Notorious is a film made about the life and death of the New York rapper Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G.

Deep Impact (1998)
Deep Impact is, yes, one of those catastrophy-blockbusters dealing with the subject of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and the way humanity tries to deal with it. All in all, it is a mediocre film, but in a way it did catch my attention. I think there’s much more …
Son of the Mask (Movie 2005)
Just when you thought that it was safe to back into the water, dun dun…dun dun…dun dun…the had to go ahead and spoil a perectly good original movie with the crappy “Son of the Mask”. Tell me, why did they feel the need to create a sequel, was it …

Ghostbusters movie
One of my favorite movies was the first Ghostbusters movie. Even now, I think of it as a classic even though it has one of my least favorite comedians and actors in there, Bill Murray. I think one of the reasons why I appreciated it too was that, even …
Hall Pass (movie)
I didn’t find the comedy “Hall Pass” to be as hilarious as some reviewers made it out to b. To me it was moderately funny, which was much better than I expected a comedy starring “Owen Wilson” to be since I usually think his comedies are lacking in humour. …
Night of the Comet
On the surface, the movie Night of the Comet should be nothing more than a B rated horror flick with no real redeeming qualities. Let’s face facts, having the Earth overrun by zombies isn’t exactly a unique concept.
But, after watching the movie for the first time this past weekend, …
The Black Dahlia (2006)
This movie is about the gruesome murder of a woman that the press labeled as ‘The Black Dahlia’. The story of the movie is centered around two police detectives that are investigating the murder. As the investigation continues in the movie and the detective keep coming up short on …
Death Live in L.A. (Death & Raw) DVD REVIEW
It was 2001 when Chuck Schuldiner made one of his last presentations with Death before withdrawing from the metal scene due to his battle against cancer. This DVD is not only a recording of this concert, which took place in a reknown L.A. house called ‘Whisky a Go Go’, …
The Dark Knight
In a rare and shocking move on the part of DC Comics, they decided to make a good movie. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve hit that mark a few times in the past, but usually Hollywood people get in the way when super hero movies are being made …
The Movie Dinner for Schmucks
When I saw the previews for “Dinner For Shmucks” I was really excited. The previews had me laughing so hard so I thought that because the previews were funny then the movie must be funny. However, after paying to see this movie I have to say that …
Movie : Exte by Sion Sono
Wow! This movie is definitely a much better film than you would ever expect from the goofy premise. A film that basically is about cursed hair extensions I wasn’t expecting much but then again I was. Sion Sono is a brilliant, disturbed and talented director who …

Open Water 2
This is a surprisingly good sequel. What made it good was how it diverged from the original. The main danger in Open Water was the ever present threat of shark attack. In Open Water 2, the writer and director cleverly play on the expectation …
UHF, movie (1989)
For over 30 years, “Weird Al” Yankovic has been the biggest name of musical parody. No one was spared from his biting musical barbs, be it Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, or Coolio. His venture into feature film was brief due to box office disappointment for UHF. …

A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
Spring Breakdown
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …
The Gift (2015 Psychological Thriller Movie)
Initially, the trailer for the 2015 movie “The Gift” was not as stimulating to me as it was for some people. I found it hard to understand why people were so interested in a movie that looked like it was going to be a cliche stalker film. My interpretation of …
In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …
