Nicktoons Halloween
My daughter went to Movie Gallery this past weekend and picked out a couple movies from the family section. Since she likes Nickelodeon cartoons, she ended up picking out Nicktoons Halloween to watch.
I’m not sure what my daughter’s obsession with Halloween is but I will admit the DVD does …
Hitman
I can remember seeing the movie “Hitman” advertising to be released however, I was a bit unsure as the type of movie it would be and soon forgot about it. However, I was reminded about it again in 2007 when I saw one of my friends watching it online. …
Finding Nemo
First I want to start off by saying that the hype of this movie was a big let down. I got my expectations set to high before I watched this movie I just expected more from it. It was still a very good movie that had a lot of …
The Roommate (2011 Movie)
I knew The Roommate wasn’t going to be a spectacular film or even an original horror from the trailer, but the trailers made it look like a fun horror movie to go see with friends. Although the dialogue is terrible and the movie is extremely predictable if you’ve ever …
The Wrong Man dvd
Well when you see the likes of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman & Ben Kingsley starring together in a movie you’re sure it’ll be good. I have to say that the jury is still out ‘ the acting was great, the storyline was really good and even I …
The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
The Breed —“ movie
The Breed is a horror movie that was directed by Wes Craven. The plot of the movie is simple. It concerns a small group of teenagers (the typical age group of victims in horror movies, especially Wes Craven horror movies) who go camping on a remote island. …
Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …
Love Affair movie
This 1939 film called Love Affair is considered a classic romantic piece, and it’s beloved by a lot of people, but I’m not really one of them. I just have so many moralistic problems with the piece in various forms. Part of it is the lack of …
Flushed Away
I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …
Legally Blond 1 and 2
No matter what the actress Reese Whiterspoon does with her career, she will be associated with the “Legally Blond” movies for which (for the first movie) she won an Emmy Award. Whiterspoon is simply fantastic in the role of cute Elle Woods whose life is all pink! Whenever Whiterspoon wears …
Redbox DVD Rental
Since I am kind of thrifty, I am always looking to find ways to save money. We like to watch a lot of movies around our house, and we have found the Redbox DVD rentals quite handy. They only cost a dollar a night to rent a movie, and …
Dhoom-2
I think the Indians films will be giving hollywood a run for money in few years. Dhoom-2 is a very good film, except for the few minor cliches the film is a treat to watch. Hrithik Roahan rocks even in the negative role. The film is worth watching only …
Captain Planet cartoon
“Captain Planet” was a cartoon which would be aired sometimes on weekday afternoons when I was still a child. I did not necessarily love the show, but I appreciated it a little since it was better than watching the children’s show “Sesame Street” which I had outgrown before I …
The Devil’s Foot
I am reviewing The Devil’s Foot, a Sherlock HOlmes episode from the boxed set, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode finds Holmes in need of recooperation. He and Watson travel to a remote place with the intent on …
The Running Man (1987 film)
I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Ahnuld plays Ben Richards, a soldier who is framed for mass murder after defying orders to fire on innocent civilians. He’s forced …
Pulse, Jim Sonzero Movie
After ‘The Ring’, ‘The Grudge’, and ‘Dark Water’, the ‘Pulse’ is a J-Horror to four in the remake of a Hollywood movie. And it seems’ fever ‘has not ended, because in 2007 out of the remake version of’ One Missed Call ‘(2004) or’ Chakushin Ari ‘work of Takashi Miike. …
Forever Strong
There used to be a time when I loved sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall but then I came to realize they are all the same; they use some sport to teach kids confidence and give a quick lesson about life.
I had hoped the movie …
He’s Just Not That Into You
I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. I first saw it in the movie theaters with my room mate during my freshman year of college. I went in there really not sure what to expect because the book itself I actually read. It was written by …
Up film
Up is another one of those animated films from Pixar that comes out every so often that we feel we’re too old for but end up watching anyhow. At least, that’s how I usually feel about animated films these days.
Up is about an old man, Carl Fredricksen who …

Pocoyo
I love animation movies. I’ve been watching animation movies since I was a kid and I still do that till now. My daughter is 3 years old and she also likes watching cartoon or animation movie. I allow her to watch Playhouse Disney since there I …
Bring It On Again Movie
I totally loved the Bring It On Movie which was the first part of this second movie, and as I was excited to see this one, first I was disappointed because they had totally changed the characters, Eliza Dushku and Kirsten Dunst weren’t the main characters anymore, and nobody …
Driversapproval.com
I had a troubled credit record and was refused by all car dealers to accept my loan requirement. I was disappointed but when I read about Drivers Approval and I applied to it they approved and sanctioned my car loan. Getting a loan with bad credit history is something …
Disturbing Behavior
I did not get to watch the movie “Disturbing Behavior” when it just came out or even a little after it just came out since I never saw or heard of it. However, recently I heard about it and decided to watch it especially since I realised that Katie …
Zoolander
Watch Zoolander and you will go crazy laughing like mad. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this and this is such a funny movie if I’m not mistaken during the early 2000-2003, not sure which period.
However, do not take too serious note of the political issues …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
Signs (Movies)
I recently came to live in a new city for a few months, and part of my condominium lease included some great movie channels on cable. I have been re-watching a lot of movies that I saw a long time ago, and enjoying many of them. Last weekend, we …
Monsieur Hire, 1989 movie
The movie Monsieur Hire is a tragic type of movie. It is mainly about two separate persons who have no similar attributes except both are extremely lonesome. The subplot is about murder. In example, the initial scene of the movie shows that of a corpse. …
Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …
The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
Going The Distance Movie (2010)
I first thought this was just an ordinary feel-good movie, it features Drew Barrymore and her real-life boyfriend “The Jeepers Creepers Guy” Justin Long; it’s a story about two people meeting and falling in love but Drew here is just actually on a temporary “vacation” as she’s an intern …
Futureworld (1976) movie
Starring: Peter Fonda, Blythe Danner, Arthur Hill, Yul Brynner, and Jim Antonio.
Directed by: Richard T. Heffron.
I had no idea that there was a sequel to “Westworld”, possibly because it wasn’t all that it was cooked up to be, perhaps? Oh wait a minute, actually, it really isn’t what it’s …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my 2nd favorite Potter film out of the first five, but just like with Prisoner of Azkaban it took some time for me to get adjust.
Here’s what …
The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
Mame
In the early seventies, TV brought Auntie Mame to the small screen with Lucille Ball in the title role. Ball is just about the leading comedienne in all of film and movies, and she does a very nice job here. I liked her as Mame, and I …
Columbo: Grand Deceptions movie
Columbo: Grand Deceptions is not one of the movies I enjoy very much. While Peter Falk is always intriguing and watching him facing off against all the murderers is the joy of the Columbo series, some of the ones that surround the military or politics just don’t work …
Godzilla Movie
For mysterious reasons, a monster from the seas is awoken from his slumber and heads directly towards Manhattan. Matthew Broderick is seemingly the only one able to stop this creature before it kills everyone in its way.
One of the action films in which you could practically shut off your …

Green Street Hooligans movie
This film features Eliijah Wood as an american who comes to visit his sister in England. There he meets his somewhat naive nephew, who spends his saturday night fighting. He is a football fan, but more importantly a hooligan who likes fighting more than watching football. His new american …
Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
Amelie (romantic comedy movie)
After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.
The movie revolves around the very peculiar …
School for Scoundrels
Before watching SFS, I was absolutely thrilled that my two favorite actors, John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Billy Bob Thorton (Bad Santa), had finally come together to make a movie that was sure to be hilarious. And that’s just what it was. I was on the floor laughing after …
The Fall - (Tarsem Singh) film
This is a stunningly good, stunningly beautiful film.
You will probably find yourself thinking “What?” or just “?” throughout. Occasionally re-winding to find out if you really DID hear/see that, or to find out the answer to “?”
Being moved to tears, then laughter, or both at the same time may …
March of the Penguins
March of the Penguins is one of my favorite movies and one I have watched several times. It is a documentary of the lives and struggles of Emperor penguins on the Antarctic continent but it is anything but boring. Narrated by Morgan Freeman this documentary is touching, …
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 …
Iron Man
I have never read the Iron Man comic strips before. So, when the movie came out, I wasn’t sure what to think.
After finally watching it this weekend, I’m regretting not seeing it at the theater.
Robert Downey Jr. is great as a wealthy weapons developer who develops a conscience and …
Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …
Crocodile Dundee II (1988)
In this follow up to the original film, Mick and his new bride take up residence in the New York area and are living their lives in a some what peaceful situation, Mick is trying to acquaint himself with the running of city life and his wife Sue is …
Paris Je T’aime
I love watching Paris Je T’aime so much that I have watched it for over 2 times. This is a special case movie, and it features about 20 directors to create a 5 minute film about Paris. That is great, I get to see 20 different stories …
