Certain genres of movies never seem to advance too much. Crime is that one genre that tends to follow the same path, get a bunch of people and rob a bank. The Bank Job follows this tiresome formula but for some reason it is more entertaining than half the …

I went to watch Wall E with my nephew and niece. I had read awesome reviews about it in the Paper. Therefore, I decided to take them out, as I wanted to watch it myself as well.
The movie revolves around Wall E a computer science robot that collects waste …

A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …

The Rock, directed by Michael Bay is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence, language and a sex scene. The original release date was June 7, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Thriller and stars Sean Connery as …

Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.
The problem that I have had with every …

When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …

An interesting premise and layout. Guy breaks his leg and is laid up in his apartment with nothing better to do than take a peek into the lives of all his neighbors across the courtyard. It is a sordid group: musicians rehearsing, a lonely lady looking for love, another …

Hancock, a movie about a superhero thought to be the last of his kind is a quite enjoyable movie if you’re in to the whole superhero thing. Starring Will Smith, this movie introduces John Hancock a lonely, depressed, miserable drunk who saves his city at any cost. At any …

One of the spookiest movies that we have ever seen was the original Exorcist. In this movie it hit on everything that would scare you.
There is this young girl who travels with her mother to live in Washington D.C., the house that they move into in Georgetown …

Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …

When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …

“The Castle of Fu Manchu” is one of Christopher Lee’s older movies. Like the other movie “The Castle of Fu Manchu”, most people I know either like this film or hate it. It never seems to be in between. Personally I think this one is not much better than …

This is one of Brendan Fraser’s best comedies and is a great film for the family to watch.
Basically a spoof of Tarzan, Fraser plays George, a young child abandoned in the jungle and raised by apes. He’s not too bright and is very clumbsy but has a good heart …

Jerry Blake (Terry O’Quinn), a real estate agent, has chosen a rather unusual path in life, to put it mildly: he moves in with single mothers with children, plays a good husband/stepfather for a while, and then murders the family and takes off. He takes precautions like changing his …

No late fees!!! I find Netflix a wonderful service that offers many choices of movies. The local movie stores here do not offer the type of movies I enjoy. Their prices are very reasonable and now they offer to watch online from their site. I enjoy doing my …

Seed of Chucky was a very funny and somewhat cheesy movie. It seems that ever new Child’s Play movie it got funnier and cheesier as it went along. But after a while, things started to change. The movie did have a few scares here and there but nothing compared to …

In order to spend more quality time with his children, Robin Williams’ character disguises himself as a Nanny/House Keeper. His seemingly good intention turns sour when his deception got flawed after putting pepper in his ex-wife’s new boyfriend’s food. To save the poor soul from kicking the bucket, he …

I recently tried a free trial of Netflix. I really enjoyed it for the trial period, so I decided to stick with it. I am a college student, and being the movie enthusiast I am, I needed to find an inexpensive way to satisfy my movie watching fix. Netflix …

This is a program that I often see on Pay-Per-View that shows mainly the bachelor of a soon to be married couple going out on the town with his friends to celebrate his last night as a single man. They hop from club to club, drinking and having a …

The movie Dirty Dancing was released in 1987. It was such a big hit that someone attempted to make the movie into a tv show the following year. Unfortunately the show was just awful and only lasted a few episodes. I was a kid at the …

One of this year’s Oscar contenders, Blue Valentine tells the story of Cindy and Dean, a couple on
the verge of a divorce after a short but beautiful courtship. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams act
their hearts out in this tearjerker and really bring to life these characters along with their …

On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …

When I got Alien 1 on Blu-Ray, I continued my collection with Aliens 1986 Special Edition. I loved the original movie and when my fears were quieted about the Alien films being changed with the Special Editions or Director’s Cuts, I was looking forward to seeing what was added …

I was a little surprised by how much I actually liked this film. I really thought that Robert Downey, Jr. in “black-face” would cause some issues for the director, producer, and actors. But it seems that perhaps people are seeing about this film what I …

I didn’t get to watch this movie around the time that it was released in 2013 for numerous reasons. Still, I remember lots of Marvel and Iron Man fans claiming to hate it after they had seen it including one of my own family members. At the time so …

This is the sequal to the Princess Diaries movie and I think it is better than the first one. I definitely saw a bit of a transition between the first one and the second one. This one has a bit more scandalous activity and romance. I am not sure …

Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …

In order to fully understand 21 Grams, you will have to be committed to watching this movie at least twice. After the first viewing, you will want to watch 21 Grams again because the movie is thrilling and very exciting. There is a love story between Paul and Christine, …

A russian silent film made aside from the artistic works of the montage industry. The director of this film was a man named Yakov Protazanov, and the story of it is a lot more conventional than other russian films of the time, and doesn’t demand all that much of …

Spice and Wolf Episode 2 begins with Holo and Lawrence travelling and staying at church. There, Lawrence meets a man named Zeelen, who offers them a business deal.
This episode is very good, although it is very dialogue heavy and not a lot happens. Still, the dialogue …

The movie 10 catapulted Bo Derek into a household name. Bo is steamy hot in this film, although the acting leaves much to be desired. I like 10 because it’s cool to see an icon when she was young and very, very beautiful. Bo Derek can’t act worth a …

The movie “Surrogates” has an interesting plot and premise with nearly everyone on the planet having a station that they connect to, which allows them to control an identical looking robot of them. The movie begins with action to keep the viewer interested and sets up a plot in …

Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …

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 …

I must admit that I really enjoy watching Ashton Kutcher’s movies, even though he seem to always present the same type of guy on screen. However the true success of “Guess Who” is entirely to the actor Bernie Mac excellent interpretation of the character Percy Jones.
“Guess who’ is a …

Spiral: Bonds of Reasoning is an anime that explores the life of ayumu, a teen detective who gets caught up in the mystery of the blade children when his older brother disappears one day.
Now the idea of the blade children struck me as kind of original. I had never …

My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …

The Mummy was released in 1999, directed by Stephen Sommers and was considered by some as an “Indiana Jones” for the nineties. I first saw it at the cinema almost as soon as it was released, tempted by the trailers and other details I had seen and read. I’m …

Teeth is a movie written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein and stars Jess Weixler. It premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
I’ll admit, this movie wasn’t what I expected. I first rented it because I …

My husband and I just went to see the latest movie of Jodie Foster called The Brave One. To be honest, at first I thought it was gonna be boring as you know it’s drama.. you can’t expect to see much of action anyway. But turned out it’s the …

There are times when you like that life imitates art, but that wasn’t the case with this motion picture. Just days after the release of The China Syndrome, a story about a nuclear power plant on the verge of a complete meltdown, the very real Three Mile Island …

“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …

It is scary to see what people believe and the documentary the Protocols of Zion is one of the scariest documentaries I have ever watched.
Among the things which I find absurd that people believe is that the Jews knew about the world trade center attacks and four thousand of …

I actually watched the movie “National Security” when I was in a bad mood and wanted to put a smile on my face and it did work out! Martin Lawrence and Steve Zahn acting abilities together with the plot of this movie full of interesting twist, made …

I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
