Three Amigos
It has been a while since I last saw the movie Three Amigos. And, while I remembered it being funny, I had my doubts that it was as funny as I remembered.
Tonight, I got to see it again. And, I have to admit, it is as funny as I …
How to Survive a Plague documentary
There was a period in the history of health care prior to the 1996 discovery of a better drug to fight AIDS wherein matters did not look at all promising or favorable for the person who contracted the disease. At that time: there seemed to be nothing …
Open Season: movie
Open Season is an animated movie which was made using computer-generated graphics. The movie is marketed to kids, but in my opinion, adults could really enjoy it as well. The movie is about a tame bear named Boog . He meets and befriends a one antlered …
Movie TAKEN
This is probably the best story action movie I have seen in a long time so far. I mean there are many action movies nowadays but “Taken” have taken my attention. I can feel the intensity and the urge of every fight seen and ever wonder if there is …
Facing the Giants Movie
I had heard of this film when it first came out…a low budget Christian movie about a high school football coach and his team. This movie turned out to be so much more than that. If you are a true believer in Jesus Christ, then this movie …
Duma movie
Few movies that are noncartoon can entertain my two three years old. However, last night HBO was playing their new hit, Duma. From what I have come to understand, this is one of Walt Disney’s new classic movies about the life of a leopard and his relationship …
Oliver and Company
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Oliver and Company. I am a huge dog and cat lover, and so this movie is perfect for me. Oliver is a little kitten, who nobody wants. When he becomes a stray on the street, he meets up with dog, Dodger, who …
The Phantom of the Opera (2004 version)
There are very few people who don’t know about Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “The Phantom of the Opera”. For all those who didn’t have any chance to watch it on stage, now they have the privilege to watch it at home on DVD. The value added of watching this …
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
This movie is taken from a popular video game and made into a live action movie and strange enough as it may be, it made the transition into real life without a hitch or a glitch in the system. People loved it and they love the lead character played …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
eXistenZ (1999)
eXistenZ, directed by David Cronenberg is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong science fiction violence and gore, and for language.

Pacific Rim Movie
I must admit that when I first heard that there will be a new movie about giant robots, I was not too pleased. I’m not a fan of the “Transformers” movie series and I was expecting something with a lot of noise and no sense , although I am …

The Grey (movie)
Recently I have found it to be more challenging to find suspense and thriller movies that I genuinely love that are set in some form of real life situations. What I ended up doing recently since I felt the urge to watch one was read a blog entry which …

48 Hours is the film debut of comedian Eddie Murphy back in the 1980s, in where he plays a prisoner who is released for 48 hours to help the police officer played by Nick Nolte catch his old partner who is a suspect for murder. The result of this …
The Fugitive
This weekend I watched The Fugitive again and was reminded what a great movie it is. I was skeptical when it was being made. I love the TV series, which is television classic, and I was afraid the theatrical movie would detract from it or parody it …
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 …
Serendipity
In the movie story, Serendipity, I think the collaboration of John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale truly rock!
They are both extremely suited for each other in this movie and their characters together had a great amount of chemistry. You just have to see this movie to know what …
The movie The Great Mouse Detective
I don’t really remember this movie coming out. I did not even know it existed until I was about 11 and my sister brought it home from the library. However when I did watch it I thought that it was cute.
I liked the idea that it was basically …
Batman The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Movie
Dark Knight Rises. When you think about it, it certainly sounds like a Batman movie. I mean, Batman is always needing to rise above or overcome something. His world is always filled with darkness and overcoming the evils of Gotham City. But in this movie, I think there were …
Kate and Leopold Movie
This movie came out in 2001 but I just saw it like last week. My boyfriend was sitting at his computer and suggested that we watch this movie since he saw it a while back and really liked it. So we signed on to his Netflix on his Playstation …
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, movie
I enjoy horror movies. I often read them and watch them with the lights turned low, wanting to feel that wonderful scared feeling as the adrenaline gets going. I had seen the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre a year or so ago, and I wanted to …
Ghost Rider Movie
Ghost Rider is one of my favorite comic book movies of all time. I never read the comics, so I don’t know if it follows those very well or not, but I still like it. The movie has just the right amount of action and humor, mixed with only …
Click - the movie
In my opinion this is the best comedy drama of recent years, many of you have already known the story plot it’s about a guy Michael Newman an architect (played by Adam Sandler) who come into posession of a remote control that can magically move life back and forth …
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Gil Gerad returns! Yes, after 25 years since the original series went off the air it survived as a huge hit in syndication and on its Sci Fi Channel run. This was a classic adventure series will cool, campy overtones in the first season and then it …
Catch and Release
In the movie “Catch and Release” we see the actress, Jennifer Garner with a sad face most of the time, but believe me this movie is by far not boring. One can describe best “Catch and Release” as a romantic movie about relationships and trust ideal for both women …
Knockaround Guys movie
The son of a mafia boss is eager to prove is ability, so he plans an “act” to impress his father and his associates, but this only leads to more trouble.
This is in my opinion not an interesting or entertaining film. It tries to make a nice combination between …
The Great Waldo Pepper movie
George Roy Hill works well with Robert Redford, including in this 1975 production, The Great Waldo Pepper. This movie is a little strange and sort of warpy. I really don’t know how to describe it. It’s dramatic and fun, but it’s not mainstream in many ways. …
The Quiet Man directed by John Ford in 1951
The ‘Quiet Man’(directed by John Ford in 1951) is a sweet unadultarated love story between and Irish-American Boxer named Sean Thorton (played by John Wayne) and a hundred percent Irish woman (played by Maureen O’Hara).
Her temper is no lie and Sean has a hard time wooing her. By the …
Because I Said So
I watched this story before, Because I Said So, starring one of my most favorite actress, Mandy Moore and the very talented and awesome Diane Keaton.
This is a very good movie story to watch if you are a mother and if you are a daughter. I’m sorry, …
The Evil Dead (1981)
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Hal Delrich, and Theresa Tilly.
Directed by: Sam Raimi.
Launching Sam Raimi’s career, The Evil Dead is a weird mixture of gore, horror, and comedy; not exactly in the same vein as something such as RoboCop, that’s an entirely different animal of a film. …
Flight (2012 movie)
Flight was one of those movies that I wanted to see in cinemas initially but even when I had a chance to view it I was just too lazy to. Well recently I went about viewing it on blu ray and I was impressed even though I’m still confused about …
50/50 (movie)
There were several movies that had a great emotional impact on me this year and one of them was the movie 50/50. I knew that it would either be a tearjerker or one of those movies that made you meditate on the direction in which your life was going …
Harry Potter Movie: Goblet of Fire
As a fan of the Harry Potter series, I have to admit some disappointment in the movies. There has been no continuity in environment. To their credit, most of the main characters have remained the same, which makes the recognition factor easier.
Yet, from one movie to the next, Hogwarts …
Turbulence movie
I completely forgot about the movie “Turbulence” until very recently when I saw it being broadcast on a cable televison channel again. Since the name sounded familiar I decided to even watch half of it in order to refresh my memory on the movie. The result was that I …

Once Upon a Time in Mexico movie
Robert Rodriguez returns with a sequel to his classic low budget film El Mariachi, but unfortunately this time without the same energetic visual style. The story is a very complex thing with corrupt CIA agents, drug dealers and assassins, but that is not what bothers me. Rodriguez have proved …
Hours (thriller movie)
“Hours” is set in New Orleans, during the August 2005 hurricane Katrina. Once again, Paul Walker, our capable and very likeable action idol, delights his audience with another one of his absorbing thrillers. This time he personifies a rousing image of paternalistic dedication.
We first meet Nolan Hayes, characterised by …
A Rather English Marriage Movie
Two very different men meet at the hospital where they come regularly to attend their dying wives. Reggie (Albert Finney) is a former pilot, a World War II squadron leader; he is not very attached to his wife whom he only needed to cook and clean for him since …
How To Rob A Bank Movie
When I bought this movie from the DVD store I didn’t expect a lot from it. I didn’t know the actors, never heard about the director and never heard about this movie in any reviews I have ever read before. I decided to make this a bed time movie, …
The movie Shark Boy and Lava Girl
I think that just about everyone remembers Sky Kids and Sky Kids 2. It seemed to be really popular for awhile and then just died out. It as not long after Spy Kids 2 came out that the previews for Shark Boy and Lava Girl came out.
Let me …

Netflix Online Service
The Netflix online service lets you rent movies and send them directly to your Wii/Ps3/x-box/computer…..basically whatever you want. It has most new movies which is nice and most old movies which i personally love being a HUGE Bruce Campbell fan. There is a slight delay for new movies coming …
The Longest Ride, movie
A friend recommended this book to me, and told me that it was an emotional love story which she thought I’d like. So, I went and watched the film in the cinema. It definitely exceeded my expectations.
