My Brother Nikhil (movie)
My Brother Nikhil is a great film. I loved this film. I watched it in theatre. The plot of the film is based on a state level swimming champion named Nikhil who gets infected with HIV positive virus. The movie is directed by a newcomer named Onir. He has …
In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …
A Little Princess Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I was just flipping through the channels and found this strange little movie on HBO. I sat and watched the whole movie, just on a whim. It turned out to be a cute little movie. A sad but uplifting story of a …
Friends sitcom
I’m not quite sure just how many seasons this show was on but surely too many. For me it’s really boring to follow what is happening to the same group of six people for so many years. One thing is for sure, initially, it was quite a good show …
Remember Me Movie
Okay, I admit it I only watched this movie because of Robert Pattinson and their beautiful movie poster that hung at the cinema every time I pass by. Having said that, I find the movie a bit dragging and the emotions they portray are blown out of proportion. …
300 Movie
I suuuuuper love this movie! The concept, the visuals, the sounds, the costumes, the actors, the abs… Although I already knew what was going to happen to them, I still loved how they came to that grand finale. And even if Leonidas was supposedly killed by a rain of …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
Black Cat Episode 6 (Anime)
Black Cat Episode 6 begins with Train leaving Chronos and some of the Numbers come after him. Meanwhile Saya spends time with train while Creed decides that she has to die because of her influence on Train.
This episode was very well done and had good character development …
Some Kind of Wonderful movie
One of the most classic and beloved american high school movies of the 1980s, perhaps not as well known as Fast times at Ridgemont High for example, but Some kind of wonderful is definitely my own personal favorite. In the centre of the story stands a rebellious young man, …
The Hurricane Movie
This movie is inspired by real events, it features Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a famous boxer who is wrongly imprisoned for murder; in prison he writes a book about this terrible ordeal that he has to endure in which he goes to prison although he is really innocent and there …
Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …
Made in America (1993)
Nora wants to find out who her biological father is when she discovers that her mother had gone to a hospital to get a sperm donor. Her search leads young Nora to find that her actual father is none other than a fast talking car dealer named Hal Jackson, …
The Reaping movie
Starring: Hilary Swank (Katherine Winter), David Morrissey (Doug), Idris Elba (Ben), Anna Sophia Robb (Loren McConnell)
Whew the biblical 10 plagues shown in color can be rather overwhelming after all this while, it has only been images in our minds from the written word.
Katherine Winter, …
The Exorcist 3
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist 3, starring George C. Scott and Jason Miller. It is a sequel to The Exorcist and The Exorcist 2. The Exorcist was excellent, but the second one was ridiculous. With this in mind, I didn’t expect much from the third …
A Walk To Remember
When my friends and I talked about the movie A Walk To Remember each time, we would always remember the truly sad ending to this story. I am a hopeless romantic and I find myself knowing what’s going to be the ending to this really sad and romantic movie …
Missing movie
From 1982, Missing tells a true story that isn’t always easy to watch. It’s an intense drama that can challenge one’s emotions. It’s a well written production, however, and does tell a story. I hate to term it entertaining, considering the subject matter, but the truth …
The stupids
The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …
The Secret of the Grain Movie
It’s the French Film fest in Manila and entrance to all the French movies are free! Who wouldn’t take advantage of that?! I know I would and am planning to do so until the festival moves on to Cebu.
The first movie I watched was entitled The Secret of the …
Mean Girls: Bullying and Not Taking it Seriously
New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …
Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)
I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
I just got done watching Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince for the second time since it’s come out. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I have read all the books and have seen all the movies up until now. The books have never disappointed me, and …

Brokeback Mountain movie
I was a bit hesitant to watch Brokeback Mountain because I’ve never really seen two men kissing or making love on screen. But with all the hype and critical acclaim that the movie received (along with several Oscar nominations), I just had to see it. So I rented a …
Executive Decision (1996)
The US president along with his aircraft Air Force One is hijacked by terrorists and the first family is in grave danger, coming to their rescue is none other than the great Steven Seagal, but as the plot would have it, and surprising to me with most other people …
Free Willy (1993)
Just as the title states, this young boy launches a campaign in order to free a whale being held in captivity. That is the whole story that the directors have managed to stretch of a two hour period. Throwing the troubles of the boy and his family drama into …
The Pacifier
I recently watched The Pacifier starring Vin Diesel as Shane Wolf a Navy Seal whose latest mission is to protect 5 children from assassins trying to get a secret program from their home. Lauren Gram plays a principal and Brad Garret a laughable vice principal at …
Definitely, Maybe
Definitely, Maybe is a movie that I think is fairly good. Not that fantastic, but doing pretty alright. Ryan Reynolds star in this movie, together with the very talented Abigail Breslin. Abigail plays Maya, a daughter that is very inquisitive and it’s fun to watch her questioning …

Babysitter Wanted Horror movie
I am reveiwing the new Horror movie “Babysitter Wanted”. At first I thought this movie was going to be more like a Halloween Micke Myers kind of movie but when I beheld the child with the horns in the top of his head i was more than flabbergasted.
Initially …
Rush Hour 3
Rush Hour 3 was everything I had hoped for after seeing Rush Hour 1 & 2. The second sequel was filled with action and humor, and follows a plot that will keep one interested the whole way through.
The movie focuses on the reserved Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), who is …
I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …
Frankenfish (2004) movie
This is another fun horror movie about some mutant fish that invade the Louisiana Bayou. The movie stars Mark Dippe and Tory Kittles. I admit I was unsure what to expect when I first picked it up, mainly due to the movie’s name. But the movie was surprisingly good! …
Fast Five Movie (2011)
I was excited to see this movie because my husband and I are car fanatics and this is the only movie where the sequels were good, so we were expecting quite a major comeback especially since almost the lineup is complete except for Michelle Rodriguez as Letty which I …
Jet Li`s New Movie — Unleashed
Jet Li
UNLEASHED
(Danny The Dog)
This film shows that Jet Li can actually act, he has been in a few movies in the past which have just been all action, but `Unleashed` has a very heartfelt storyline with great actors supporting Jet Li such as Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins …
Christmas Vacation 2 movie
In one of the odder sequels, we see Christmas Vacation 2, a made for TV movie that came out a couple of years ago. Although the original Vacation, part of the Vacation series had other movies follow it (such as the lamentable Vegas Vacation), this movie does not …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
How the West Was Won
How the West Was Won is an epic motion picture with some really great scenery. The cinematography is outstanding. It’s a star studded cast which brings to life the story of the movement west. It begins in St. Joseph, Missouri, the jumping off point for all …

Legend of Zorro
Whether he is doing comedy or drama or action adventure, Antonio Banderas is always on the mark. He was born to play Zorro, and his choice to play him dramatically with just a layer of comedy is the right choice. Catherine Zeta Jones does well as his wife– ex-wife …
American Violet movie
American Violet is a movie that I knew very little about. I had been seeing a billboard advertising it inside one of the neighborhood restaurants I sometimes frequent. This still did not really grab my attention although I am an avid movie lover.
I ended up coming across the movie …
The Departed (R, 2006) movie
If ever there was a film that kept me riveted to my seat, it is The Departed starring Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon amongst a few other greats. The story pits the three in a race against each other and opposite forces (criminals vs. the police). …

Movie Firewall
Firewall with Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen.
What a crappy movie this was. Harrison Ford looks 100 years old and tries to get by with his trademark angry face. Madsen is chunky and they try to hide her enormous rump. Aside from these main …
