Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: The Movie
I was not too fond of the fifth movie in the Harry Potter series that I was not really looking forward to the release of the movie version of the sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But being a true-blue Harry Potter fan, I eventually saw the …
Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
There are so many ways this movie could be reviewed. The best way, would be to really pin point everything. When you’re landed with a great movie to critic it can be difficult but with enough thought and effort put into it negative aspects can in fact be found, …
Who Shot Patakango? movie
From 1989, Who Shot Patakango? is a sort of odd coming of age movie about teenagers attending high school in Brooklyn, New York. The star of note was Sandra Bullock as Devlin Moran. Following are some thoughts on this production.

Ghost Hunters Season 2 Part 1 DVD set

Up in the Air movie
Up in the Air surprised me. I wasn’t sure that I would like it. The reason for that is that it stars George Clooney. Sometimes, I like his stuff, and sometimes I don’t. I wasn’t anticipating much. Thus, when I was being entertained, I …
Let Me In movie
So I rented Let Me In the other night and I must say this movie truly scared the hell out of me. It really did something to me I had not felt in years. I didn’t know this was a monster movie but was really surprised. It’s of a love …
Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
I think this animated film is perhaps one of the never-ending type of movies that I will definitely be catching a lot of times in this year 2008. I think that perhaps 2008 will be a very good year of animations and the likes and in this very funny …

Wrestling With Shadows
Wrestling With Shadows directed by Paul Jay is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen, at first glance you assume the movie is a simple production which follows a wrestler on a day to day basis and chronicles his trouble. However, after watching the movie you …
High School Musical: Bubblegum Pop
There’s nothing better than a hot cup of cocoa and a movie. Inasmuch as the acting is flat, the characters vapid and bordering on caricature, the music a work of a bygone age of pop, and a little too wholesome for high school, I had an amazing time watching …

Stamos is certainly a dishy …
The Europeans (1979)

Enron
If you are like me, the story of Enron and its executives were just little snipets of information you heard on the evening news. Yes, someplace out in Texas many people were losing their jobs, but it didn’t touch me personally, so why should I pay attention?
However, after …
Autopsy: Postmortem with Dr. Michael Baden (UR, 2008)
I must really be a morbid individual because I find documentaries about serial killers, crime scenes, and autopsies incredibly fascinating. Upon renting this one on Netflix, I was immediately intrigued. The mention of high profile cases was of extreme interest to me. And I liked …

Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I must admit that I am not an admirer of Uma Thurman’s movies. When I watched the trailer of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” I thought that it was a cute fantasy movie with a romantic touch, however I ended up not enjoying this movie.

The First Wives Club
This is probably one of the most hilarious movies I’ve ever watched. I just love Goldie Hawn and how she portrays the part of a nonsensical washed out actress. I could almost relate to Beth Midler and her insatiable appetite for food and sarcasm. Now, as for Diane Keaton, …

American Gangster
Any movie with Denzel Washington as the lead role in it, promises a lot from the onset. As for American Gangster, I really think the whole cast as well as the behind-the-scenes team did an excellent job in every respect of the delivery.
This movie is a hit and everything …
Jennifer’s Body movie
Well, we finally rented the movie Jennifer’s Body last night. As expected, the film was an OK movie and we got reminded of just how sexy Megan Fox really is. But, I have to say the movie also proved to be a bit of a disappointment.
The plot involving Fox …
The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …
Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …
Definitely, Maybe movie
I normally have no interest in watching romance movies, especially romance comedy films. However, the only thing which attracted the romance comedy “Definitely, Maybe” was in the first place was the fact that the comedy actor Ryan Reynolds was going to be in it. Thus of course, I expected …
27 Dresses
I recently rented 27 Dresses from a DVD redbox. I had been excited to see it because it seemed to be fairly well-liked on a bridal message board I visit. Before going into any detail, I must say that this rental was definitely worth the $1 for …

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 …
