Salt Movie (2010)

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015 Animated Superhero Movie)
I grew up reading DC Comics sometimes, and also watching animated series that revolved around popular DC Comic characters such as Superman and Batman and the Justice League. Now that I’m an adult I still watch some of their animated movies on occasion, especially when I’m feeling in the mood …
The Final Destination movie

In The Land Of Women

I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …

Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …
Leatherheads
I absolutely hate George Clooney movies. So, when I picked up Leatherheads, I will confess my expectations were a bit low. However, after watching the movie, I do feel my low expectations were justified. It just wasn’t any good.
I liked the concept behind this movie. There are plenty of …
Chloe Movie (2009)
Chloe is brilliant and enticing erotic thriller that reminds me a little bit of the movies in the 90’s, though is has more daring scenes and dialogue than the 90’s movies were ever allowed to have. The storyline is completely and deliciously unpredictable. It is full of …

License To Wed (2007)
Popular Casts : Robin Williams, Mandy Moore, John Krasinski
Watching this movie really reminds me to “Anger Management” by Jack Nicholson so, for the people who love “Anger Management”, make sure that you watch this movie. To be honest, Robin Williams’ acting is still not better than The Genius Jack …

The New Daughters of Joshua Cabe movie
This is the third Joshua Cabe movie and it’s the third set of daughters. The original casting was the best. You just can’t beat the combination of Buddy Ebsen, Karen Valentine, Lesley Ann Warren, and Sandra Dee. There’s a lot of talent there. When Cabe’s …
Farce Of The Penguins
Well here is another Penguin movie my daughter rented last night,but this one is an adult movie. “The Farce Of The Penguins” was mad funny. We laughed our butts off. Well of course Bob Saget was in it, as well as Christina Applegate, Lewis Black, Mo’nique, Tracy Morgan. The …

Altered
I first watched this low budget movie, Altered during the year 2006. A bunch of friends had managed to return safely to their hometown but all’s not that well actually because one of them was ‘retained’ by the aliens since they chose only 1 out of them all.
I think …
Blood Diamond movie
You know, even though I take an interest in world politics, I have found I’m not a huge fan of movies about obscure problems in other countries.
That’s probably why, even though I tried to enjoy the film Blood Diamond, I found myself actually getting bored by it.
The plot wasn’t …
Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.

Movie Skinwalkers

Cosplay Complex anime
“Cosplay Complex,” an anime series about girls who compete in cosplay (dressing up), is raunchy is every sense of the word. Even though
it’s classified solely as comedy anime, it did not make me laugh at loud once. This extreme lack of humor is probably why there are only three
episodes. …

2001 Manics Movie
While watching the movie 2001 Manics, I couldn’t help but think that it was the ultimate B-movie which I was usually so turned off of watching. It had lots of sex, gore, bad acting and young people which is what most B-movies usually has, not to mention the lack …

Can two different people from two different worlds apart get together? A lot of stories have already answered that question, but perhaps the most popular story among them is Disney’s “High School Musical”.

This is the End, Film
At first glance, —˜This is the End’ could be viewed as a vanity project. A comedy produced by the actors who star as themselves, it all feels a little bit self-congratulatory. The plot involves Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and James Franco having to …
