A classic remake in animation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s wonderful use of colours left my eyes watering…and the plot was good. Good guys showed their courage, bad guys showed how evil they can be, and gargoyles showed they had no legs…lol. This is another great animated …

I can’t remember whether or not I was actually interested in this movie when it was advertising to be released in theatres. I remember thinking about it as “the new Jackie Chan movie” and expected that there would be a lot of action and martial arts involved. It didn’t …

“Father of the Bride” is a movie starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams as the father, the mother, and the soon-to-be bride, respectively. It is apparently a remake of the movie by the same name from the 1950s that I have never watched.
Pros: Steve Martin was …

I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …

Children of Dune was a 2003 SyFy channel made-for-tv release based on the books by Frank Herbert. Now I typically shy away from movies based on books and, more specifically, movies that are practically remakes from 1980’s classics, such as the original Dune, but I was shocked by the …

I think everybody loves Iron Man movies, including Robert Downey Jr., who is a very famous and talented actor, who portrays Iron Man in part 1 and part 2. Gwyneth Paltrow redeems herself in the movie by being Pepper Potts who is very classy and elegant to be a …

Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …

I recently went to see The Watchmen movie. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Mind you, I had never read the comic book. The only thing I did before I went to see the movies was I looked up the storyline on Wikipedia and talked …

I watched San Andreas in IMAX 3D. I’m glad I made that decision because I was able to fully appreciate the visuals. The movie is a natural disaster movie and seeing it in IMAX 3D made it incredibly real. This movie isn’t only about earthquakes as many people might feel …

There is always this magnificent beauty that the nature emits. It is something so rare especially for people like me who have lived in the city for so many years now. Away from all the trees, untainted rivers, and the calming sound of the creatures that add peace to the …

This movie had gotten mixed reviews. The general consensus is that people who have read the book were disappointed, while people who haven’t read the book liked it a bit more. I fall into the latter.
I found it to be quite enjoyable. It was well paced, …

Sky High is a 2005 move that mixes elements of both the superhero and teen movie genres into an enjoyable, exceptionally fun movie going experience. It’s not the best movie around, and certainly isn’t the best composite of it;s two respective genres, but it is still a very watchable …

I enjoy a Mike Meyers movie now and then. He has not made a movie I really liked since Austin Powers but my Neflix list was empty and I decided to give this movie a try. It was about like any Mike Meyers or Jim Carrey movie. …

Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …

This is one of the most recent of the Stephen King adaptations to hit the big screens, but I have to say that it isn’t one of the best. 1408 was one of the scariest movies I have seen in quite some time, but the Mist just didn’t …

Sean Connery’s James Bond takes a vacation from his usual European hot stops and turns native in this movie set in Japan. It doesn’t have the elements that made movies like “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball” great, but it isn’t a bad entry into the film series.
I’m a fan of James …
