Paul Verhoeven is a dutch controversial filmmaker who combines social criticism with main stream action and science fiction, and in my opinion this mixture is often very interesting. Robocop takes place in a future where criminality has grown out of proportion and the authorities do everything they can to …

I watched the Book of Eli last night not knowing what the movie is all about. The movie was a post-apocalyptic one, I guess that’s explains the dreary, dusty and dark atmosphere it exudes. The movie has a lot of mixed reviews. Some thought it was an …

This is that movie about Rescue Swimmers from the US Coast Guard. From the previews I had seen earlier, I had expected it to be mostly all action - terrifying action among huge ocean waves. And the movie did start out that way. In fact, the opening scene is …

As the movie started, my roommates joked that this was “Fallout: The Movie”. Given that it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the country is a vast wasteland, comparisons are inevitable, but some of the set pieces were also very reminiscent of the game. Given that …

This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …

Murder by Numbers starring Sandra Bullock was worth watching once, but I just could not bare sitting through the movie a second time. The movie takes a fascinating look at a homicide detective struggling with her own demons as she attempts to solve a seemingly perfect murder plot. The …

It’s a martial-art action movie. Fantastic thai martial-art show, and just an average action film.
Honestly, everything is common. Standard story, nothing special on the effects, just an acceptable filming quality and not much of an acting. Even one of my friend made a joke after watching this movie. He …

I had skipped over this film in my Netflix queue for a long time. Thre was something about seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman playing a gay drag queen that kept me from bumping it up in the queue. Then I rented it finally. Robert DeNiro is …

This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …

I went into Beowulf with some high expectations. Sure, Angelina Jolie was in it (someone I can’t stand), but the previews looked pretty good, the animation truly incredible and I have always been a fan of the Beowulf story. What could be better than seeing Beowulf beautifully …

Mel Gibson really had his work cut out for him if he was to top the popularity of the Passion of the Christ. Of course, everyone in the world knew how that story went. Jesus is God’s son, he was born, he’s crucified and killed. A story that Gibson …

I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …

The happening is one of the worst rated movies of M. Night Shyamalan however I actually enjoyed it though I cannot call it a favorite. The movie is basically about plants giving off a chemical that causes people to commit suicide.
I can see why it has such horrible …

First of all, let me just say I love DVD Empire. I found this site while doing a search to find my boyfriends birthday present. This is one of the greatest movie sites that I have ever found.
My boyfriend is a huge horror freak, so I thought it …

I have heard this film is one of Audrey Hepburn’s acclaimed performances. I personally believe it’s also the most critically-absorbing film in the entire Audrey Hepburn —˜genre’. The austere screenplay was very consistent to the point that it almost felt like watching an art film. The …

The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …

I stumbled upon reading in advance about our Philosophy subject and I read something about the Turing Test. That made me think of the movie I just watched. Alan Turing is the main character of the movie The Imitation Game and he is also the same Turing in the Turing …

There are some movie that just don’t interest me either because of what I’ve seen in the trailer and the reviews I’ve read about them make them seem ridiculous or something just doesn’t rub me right about them. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was one of those movies. When it …

This movie is probably not suitable for all children. But, I know my daughter ended …

I just watched this movie on Lifetime Movie Network a few hours ago. I really liked it a lot. Overall it was a very good movie. It is about a young boy who is sick and in the hospital that her mother takes him to, the doctor there blames …

Pixar has set a whole new standard in animated films. Ice Age is not a Pixar movie. However, I stilled enjoyed it greatly despite not having the Pixar tag on it. Ice Age is great animated movie in my opinion. It is very funny throughout the …

This movie is simply disgusting. I don’t know what they were thinking when filming it? Hoping to spoil Christmas for everyone, and especially for kids? The mention of Santa in the title would certainly draw families and kids to see this - and they shouldn’t. The Santa here is …

All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.
Having said that Beethoven movies are really good fun and easy viewing for …

“The Expendables” (2010, rated ‘R’) starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li is a terrific action movie perfect for those of us old enough to remember when the original “Rambo,” “Die Hard” and “Terminator” films were in theatres! “The Expendables” is like ‘old home week’ with lots of …

“Dead Silence” looks like it’s going to be corny and slow-moving. In some parts it certainly is. The plot revolves around the old legend of Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who had her tongue cut out by townspeople. Of course her ghost comes back and takes revenge. …

I just can’t help it. Whenever I see Keanu Reeves in a movie, regardless of how good it might be, I instantly have flashbacks to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and, no matter how hard I try, I can’t take him seriously.
This was the situation when I sat down …

Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …

Day of the Dead is a remake and an updated version of the old George Romero zombie movie. I can’t take the approach that some horror movie fans did and automatically hate this movie because it doesn’t follow the rules based on his movies because I can’t really remember …

James Cagney has center stage in this 1950 salute to America’s West Point Academy, where the Army’s finest are schooled and trained. In this movie, Cagney plays Elwin Bixby, a Broadway director, who helps the cadets put on a show. Of course, it’s not quite that simple. …
