Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Movie
Out of all three Transformers films, this film was the best one out of all of them. And I’m not talking about the human performance. More than anything, it was so good to see that Optimus Prime had a much larger role in Transformers Dark of the Moon, than …
Movie : The Uninvited (2009)
The Uninvited is yet another film in a long line of Hollywood remakes that were originally Japanese horror movies. A lot of these remakes have received a bad rap in the past but apart from a couple, in general I really enjoy them.
The pacing of this movie is …
Watchmen
Watchmen, a very popular comic series by DC Comics has finally made its way to the movies. Shown in different countries worldwide, the movie became very sensational.
Characters:
Bringing to life the characters from the comic strip to the movies was quite good. Though I really do not like the skin …
Darkness Falls
There are very few “horror” movies on the market that truly scare me. Darkness Falls is a movie that makes me want to sleep with my lights on.
Set in a town that once wrongfully executed a disfigured woman called “the tooth fairy.” The characters in the film must deal …

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood’s third episode may feel very nostalgic to viewers who watched the first Fullmetal Alchemist series.

Perfect Blue (Psychological thriller-horror Anime)
I can’t believe it, the best psychological thriller-horror film I watched this year actually comes from an anime. I have never thought anime could be this good and thrilling, but Perfect Blue just proved me wrong.

The Good Shepard movie
If you enjoy watching a movie that makes you really think were the story is going, then you must watch Robert De Niro’s movie “The Good Shepard”. I knew that this movie was about the CIA, however for the first half an hour I was completely lost on what …
Roger & me
This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …
Friended to Death, movie (2014)
Watching a dreary film like Friended to Death has been a total waste of my time and energy. Directed by Sarah Smick and starring Ryan Hansen, James Immekus, Zach McGowan and others, this film has failed to keep me glued to it. Perhaps the director had aimed at shooting …
Love and a .45 (1994)
“Love and a .45″ is an absolutely fantastic movie in my book and I have watched it dozens of times over the years. This film has its flaws, but overall is an excellent way to pass the time. There is action, drama, and comedy all rolled into one that …

After a gruesome attack alone the shores of a popular beach during spring break, an all out hunting expedition ensued to hunt down and kill …
The happening movie
The happening was a pretty good movie. It’s about something happening in parts of the world where it makes people do weird things and eventually kill themselves. I thought it was well directed because it will let you know what is happening but yet it is not gory at …
Aladdin and The Wonderful Lamp
I was able to see this movie right after I saw The Little Mermaid. Back at that time we were still watching with Beta max and not VHS. As a kid my brother and I watched it together and since we love cartoon movies and shows we enjoyed it …
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
Why is it that books are always better than movies? A colleague explained that because in books, you visualize what is happening based from your own perceptions. You have a control on the scene, hence, you can create scenes according to your own imagination. This is why when a …
Hamlet movie
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 …

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I have to admit that I’ve had a secret love of Alvin and the Chipmunks since I was a kid. When the movie first came out last year, I was the only one of my friends and family members who could actually sing all the words to their songs …
The Aviator (2004)
I watched the movie “The Aviator” a couple years ago when I had either just graduated from high school or was still in high school. I can remember not wanting to watch it at first since I thought that it was probably going to be a little boring and …
The Aviator, movie
You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …

Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 (movie)
I did not get a chance to go and see Breaking Dawn part 1 while it was in theaters, so my anticipation had been building ever since I saw the previews for the DVD release. I, myself, did not end up purchasing the movie; instead, a relative of mine …

Man’s Best Friend
It’s probably because I’ve become desensitized a bit over the years but I remember the movie Man’s Best Friend as being much scarier than it was when I watched it last night.
The movie has a good concept, you have a genetically engineered dog rescued from the research lab but …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …
The Fighter Movie
The Fighter is a gritty, brash drama based on the true life experiences of Micky Ward, a boxer that
rose from the squalor of a poor Lowell family to win the Boxing Championship of the World. The

Thor The Dark World Film
What happens when the gods lose their power to something more powerful and ancient than themselves, something primal - the complete darkness? “Thor :The Dark World” is a film in which I think that the team of Marvel reaches a whole new level in their skills… Expertly served storyline …
Moulin Rouge movie
I bought this film the day it came out on video, and for good reason: it’s spectacular. One of the songs in the film is entitled “Spectacular Spectacular,” which pretty much sums up the entire movie. From start to finish this film is brilliant - from the light to …

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
King Kong vs. Godzilla
King Kong vs. Godzilla is the first color Godzilla movie, and in a way, I kind of wish that it was not. Both King Kong and Godzilla look ugly and fake as do the sets and the military tanks and other artillery. I also do not like how the …
The Thirst Movie
The Thirst is one of the worst vampire movies I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot. I actually watch and review horror movies for payment and that means watching a lot of movies that I have no interest in watching usually. The movie follows a young girl who …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …
Sex and the City 2 Movie
When the first Sex and the City movie was shown on the big screen, hundreds of thousands of eager girls and ladies awaited. We weren’t disappointed, it was all glam, glittery, sparkling! We wanted more. We never wanted the movie to end!
When the trailer for Sex and the City …
Fracture
The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …

Michael Jackson’s This Is It
I hadn’t been to the movie theater in a long time since the big screen seems dominated by typical hollywood trash. But Michael Jackson’s This Is It was truly an exception because it’s an original movie that stands out in a culture full of one cheesy remake after …
Two Hours of My Life I’ll Never Get Back
I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, as I believe that the true story of the murder of Elizabeth Short is quite interesting. This movie was SUCH an amazing let down!!!! The focus on this film failed to be the murder of Elizabeth Short, but rather a …
Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I saw the trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, I knew I wanted to watch it on opening night. I’m a big Mummy fan from the first two installments of the franchise. I couldn’t believe the original female lead wasn’t coming back for …
Alice In Wonderland (2010)
When I heard Tim Burton had done Alice in Wonderland with Disney and Johhny Depp was the Mad Hatter, I could hardly wait to get to the theater. This film have so many of my favorite stars and they all did their usual brilliant jobs. Depp, of course, was …
