Evil Dead (2013) Movie
Remakes of classic horror movies don’t have the best track record. Yet, we live in an age where they are common place due to…I’m not sure.
I was skeptical when I heard that they were remaking “Evil Dead”. I’m a fan of the original trilogy and doing …

Chasing Coral (2017 Netflix Documentary Film)
I have never been a fan of documentary films before. But since the time I decided to really immerse myself in different films, I have learned that movies should have no boundaries. That I should take away my preferences and just watch about everything. The result of this self-induced process …

Flushed Away movie
Flushed Away is one great movie for me. I like Kate Winslet as an actress and in this cartoon movie she dubbed the voice of the female rat named Sid. I like the movie because I like to learn English more and here in this movie they were using …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …
Waydowntown movie
I rented this film because the premise, I thought, was great: (4) employees at some drab corporate company make a wager on who can remain indoors (the entire downtown “hub” is connected by a series of enclosed walkways) for 6 months. It seems like a quirky, …
Movie: A Christmas Story
My wife and I ended up wrapping Christmas gifts at the very last second late last night while the kids were asleep. Since we were getting tired and needed something to keep us awake until the work was done, we decided to put on the Christmas classic A Christmas …

The Lone Ranger Movie
“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …
Daybreak movie
A very inventive film from Marcel Carné, who created some amazing films back in the 1930s known as part of the poetic realism. The narrative is very peculiar, as the end of the whole film is the first thing that is shown, and then the rest of the story …
Brave Heart movie
This is the fourth year when I first saw the movie ‘Brave Heart’. Since then I have seen this for innumerable times. My favorite Mel Gibson is in lead role and as usual he shows his strong caliber in this movie.
Winning some Oscars will not suffice to say all …
The Ninth Gate, movie
Johnny Depp steps out in a new role as a rare book expert preying on the loss and misfortune of others. It’s a long way from his more known characters, but his performance is excellent in this dark and somewhat comical exploration of secret societies and the quest to …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
Movie The Game Plan
If any of you like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, then you have probably seen “The Game Plan”. My husband loves the Rock and watches all of his movies. I think he’s an ok actor, but I really think he did a good job in the movie “The …
Where God Left his Shoes movie
I am a big fan of small movies, and I just watched another great one on DVD, called “Where God Left his Shoes.” The actors in it are relative unknowns, at least to me, and this movie received very little attention. The plot is quite a heart-wrenching story of …
The Mummy (Movie)
The Mummy was released in 1999, directed by Stephen Sommers and was considered by some as an “Indiana Jones” for the nineties. I first saw it at the cinema almost as soon as it was released, tempted by the trailers and other details I had seen and read. I’m …

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Yes, Jack Sparrow is back. Johnny Depp has proved once again that he’s one of the best actors in the world. Why? Because he managed to achieve a good role in, maybe, one of the weakest plots and one of the worst directions in the history of the movie …
The Return movie
Normally, when I watch a Sarah Michelle Gellar movie, I expect there to be a lot of action and a little bit of terror. Her movie The Return provided the latter but not enough of the former.
The idea behind The Return is a good one. Gellar plays a …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Another Cinderella story with a cultural relevance is Memoirs of a Geisha, a movie adaptation of Arthur Golden’s best selling novel. If there is anyone who is into cultural immersion and intense drama, then I recommend this movie.

Vantage Point
I heard mixed opinion about “Vantage Point” so I decided that I really had to watch it to form my own opinion. “Vantage Point” is an interesting complex movie and also very original in shooting. In my opinion, the studios took a great risk in producing such an …

Movie “The Lazarus Project” (2008)
This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …
Wise Girls
I watched Wise Girls the other day and I was surprised that this is a pretty good story with a rather interesting plot. Mira Sorvino stars as Meg and with 2 other actresses, they play the role of a waitress and it’s quite scary to think of it because …
The Mirror Has Two Faces
I admit I am a great fan of Barbra Streisand. I believe she is simply wonderful in whatever she does. The movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces” in which she is an actress, director, producer and music director is no exception. It comes to no surprise that this movie …

Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses
‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls. They are like fairy tales with magnificient context. But the appearance of princes, pricesses, farm girls and poor people in Barbie stories isn’t like …
Robinhood Movie (2010)
I never knew Russell Crowe could emulate or do a better job than Gladiator, and the 2 movies are equally famous for it’s story and the actors and actresses involved. Russell Crowe as Robinhood was quite old, and I had first thought all the characters were too old for …
