Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (comedy science fiction movie)
Honestly, I wasn’t very interested in seeing a “Hot Tub Time Machine” sequel almost as much as I wasn’t interested in seeing a Paul Blart Mall Cop sequel. However, a friend of mine claimed that he found it very entertaining and funny. I guess that would be the last time …
Murder by Television movie
It’s Bela Lugosi doing his thing in the vintage movie, Murder by Television. This is going back to the beginnings of TV, when networks and manufacturers were making the concept work and striving to make it better than their competitor.

Netflix Movie Rental
Blockbuster was always my way of getting movies. I don’t buy movies as I do not see the point. I am only going to watch the movie once. Blockbuster was really useful. I go in their store, look for the movie I want, pay, and return it once I …
Tomorrowland (science fiction adventure film)
Tomorrowland was one of those movies that I was silly enough to be fooled into thinking was actually going to be good. After watching the trailer I thought, “This looks good. I wonder why I’m not hearing much about this movie”. After sitting through over two hours of it hoping …

What happens when a negative man who feels as though God is out to get him gets the power of God and must therefore do God’s job? The 2003 comedy “Bruce Almighty” happened. This film was funny and very insightful to how much we can sometimes make situations all …
Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …

Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …

With Six You Get Eggroll
Doris Day’s final theatrical film was one her late husband had obligated her to do, entitled With Six You Get Eggroll. It’s a movie that is reminiscent of Yours, Mine, and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. To me, this was a smaller scale version …

Crimson Tide
Normally I don’t like war movies. They are OK, but they usually focus on blood and guts and really don’t have a whole lot in terms of actual plot. Either that, or they focus on a real historical event and I find myself having a hard time enjoying the …
Ted ( 2012 Movie )
When I saw the trailer of this film, it looked entertaining during the first scenes of the trailer until it showed Ted ( the talking teddy bear ) humping on top of the counter of a store. I was stunned, thus I watched the entire movie to really …

Bulletproof Monk

Notorious movie
Notorious, this was a great title for the movie biography of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. I saw the movie about a week ago, and am still amazed at what his life was like, true or not. Notorious means widely and unfavorably known, which is the epitome of Christopher Wallace’s …
