Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …

Man On Fire stars Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, and Dakota Fanning. This is an exceptional film that dealt with the serious issue of the kidnapping business in Mexico, yet did so in a very warm manner.
How do you make a great film about any subject? …
The Brave One
The actress, Jodie Foster is simply fantastic in whatever role she interprets and it seems to get better with every movie. This also applies to “The Brave One”. In this movie, Foster manages to work on the viewers’ emotion and during the movie you don’t know whether to love …
Horror Express movie
I was digging through our movie cabinet a couple days ago (trying to find my daughter’s missing Nintendo DS) when I came across the movie Horror Express.

Julie & Julia movie

Sherlock Holmes (2010) Movie
When I watch the trailer the end of last year, I could’t wait for this movie to be released on the cinema on the neighborhood and I just got the chance to watch the movie yesterday. Eventually, this movie worth the wait.

The Barbie Diaries
Even though I’m already a grown up, I love watching cartoons, animated movies and especially Barbie! I’ve watched The Barbie Diaries like countless times and just am not bored with it at all. This is just like your typical chick flick; only animated version.
Barbie and her friends …
P2 (R, 2007) movie
I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …

The self-taught director Nicholas Roeg made the incredible beautiful and mysterious film called Walkabout in the early 1970s, and followed it up with this horrific film with diabolic undertones.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
I had watched the first Transformers movie and enjoyed it, so I was hoping to enjoy its sequel just as much. I usually like movies with Shia LaBeouf, known for his dry sense of humor. However, this movie fell very short of my expectations.
I found LaBeouf’s character Sam …

I have always loved the Hitman franchise, and after watching the trailer of this movie, my expectations were at apex. It is the reboot of the 2007 film “Hitman”. Unfortunately, i am disappointed from this movie. It made the original movie film look like a masterpiece. The filmmakers tried to …

Monster In Law movie
I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, and Telly Savalas.

What I liked about this movie: Kevin James is actually pretty funny as Blart, a mall cop who is considered a loser by everyone from the people he works …
Sucker Punch (2011) Movie
It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …
Mikael Hafstrom`s 1408
This movie is about a man who works as an author . He has lost his daughter recently. This has significance for the whole concept of the movie;all the pieces comes together at the end. I can really say that the end is brilliant!

When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …
Movie Quarantine
Starring: Jennifer Carpenter (Angela Vidal), Steve Harris (Scott Percival), Jay Hernandez (Jake), Jonathan Schaeh (George Flectcher)

The Bank Job, British crime film
Certain genres of movies never seem to advance too much. Crime is that one genre that tends to follow the same path, get a bunch of people and rob a bank. The Bank Job follows this tiresome formula but for some reason it is more entertaining than half the …
Mimic Movie
Mimic is a truly great/bad sci-fi movie. I still remember seeing it for the first time when it was in the theaters and I loved it even then. I know a lot of people have seen the movie and hated because it’s not the greatest, but I actually do …

Train Ride (R, 2000)
There are fleeting moments of competency in this late 90’s film—the last to feature actress Esther Rolle before her death in the same year (1998.) The story itself is quite feasible. A group of college guys have three freshman girls over hoping to get …
Rocky Balboa
I would have to say that I love all Sylvester Stallone movies. Although I didn’t like this one as much as the other ones at one part of the movie my view was completely changed and grasped. What I love about this movie is it is soooo inspirational. Anytime …

Bye Bye Birdie
I just adore Bye Bye Birdie and always have. It’s an upbeat, delightful movie musical with a cast that includes one of my favorites, Dick Van Dyke. Dyke’s good-natured demeanor make him perfect for this role as a budding musician with an overbearing mother and a very …
Cloverfield DVD
This by far was one of the most highly anticipated DVD releases for me. I remember seeing Cloverfield in theaters on opening night. I really enjoyed the unique style the movie brought out to its audience. The way it was presented overall was one of a kind. Although I …
Fool’s Gold
Fool’s Gold is a genreless movie fresh to the theaters. Well, they say it has a genre, but once you watch the movie, the genre becomes rather unapparent. The movie is about a bickering married couple (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson) on the edge of divorcing who team up …

More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …
Rush Hour
I am reviewing the movie, Rush Hour starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. In this first movie of the two, Chris plays Carter, a loudmouth, no nonsense, comedic cop. He uses his energy to track down drug lords and put them behind bars. He receives an assignment …
“The life of David Gale” movie

The Watchmen movie
‘A comedian died tonight in New York City’
It’s no ‘here’s looking at you, kid’ but I’ll admit it’s a catchy line. And the movie had has many good points; great special effects, all right screenplay, intriguing costumes but that was it. There were some witty lines but that doesn’t …
