Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) movie
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is the sequel to there first adventure when they went on the eternal search for white castle. This is just another one of your classic stoner comedies. Its just purely dumb but always entertaining.

Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
Don’t Breathe - Horror Movie (2016)
When it comes to horror movies, I’ve been disappointed by the garbage churned out over the past decade. Most horror movies draw up on the cliches that were once innovative at the start of the decade. However, Don’t Breathe stands out for all the right reasons. It’s definitely a scary …
The departed movie
During the weekend, I went to watch “The departed” played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson. About ten minutes into the movie, I realized that I have watched a Chinese version of this movie. The difference is “The departed” combines all three sequels of the Chinese version. …
Trapped movie
I still think that the movie “Trapped” might have been the best movie I have seen the actor Stewart Townsed star in for quite some time. I personally like the movie not only because the actor Stewart Townsend was in it but because I thought the movie kept me on …
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a blood and guts horror film about a group of kids being chased around by a chainsaw wielding, crazy man. There is a plot, yes, but it is thin and not the reason why you should watch this movie. I also want to be …

Superman Doomsday Animated Movie

Misery
Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …
Movie Sister Act 2
Just one year from Sister Act 1, we got to see on big screen the actress, Whoopi Goldberg re-interpret the role of Sister Mary Clarence in “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit”. I must admit that this movie is good; however it isn’t as great at the first …

Burn after Reading
Brad Pitt, George Clooney and other good actors play in this movie. So you would think it is a good movie, right? Well it’s not in my opinion. Other than a couple funny moments with Brad Pitt the movie sucked. As soon as I thought it was getting to …
Inkheart
Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …

Kill Your Darlings (2013 Biographical Drama Movie)
It seems I waited an age to watch the movie Kill Your Darlings. I ignored it a bunch of times while it was being aired on cable television channels because I always had this notion that it wouldn’t be very interesting. It was only after watching it last night, that …
VeggieTales Movie: An Easter Carol
My daughter loves VeggieTales. So, I was glad when I could load a bunch of movies and TV episodes for her on our Netflix player.

Final Destination 2 Movie
There are only a few movies in this world that can out-do or come better than the original, and I’ll tell you that Final Destination 2 is not one of them. The plot is not very different from before, neither are the gruesome killings. While it is interesting to …

This weekend I watched The Fugitive again and was reminded what a great movie it is. I was skeptical when it was being made. I love the TV series, which is television classic, and I was afraid the theatrical movie would detract from it or parody it …

Beauty and The Beast
The “Beauty and The Beast” I am reviewing is the TV series that ran in 1987-1990, not the Disney animation. Those who have watched the series know that it has nothing to do with the classic fairytale: the story is set in modern day New York. Catherine, a beautiful …
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film

The Debt, movie (2011)
Ever since her turn as the title role in 2006’s The Queen, she has allowed herself to take roles that women younger than her would kill for. Many times you hear actresses complain that they don’t get the roles they used to because of their age. If …

“Alex & Emma” is simply a great romantic movie with comic moments in it. I personally liked a lot the actress, Kate Hudson because she interprets 5 different roles in it. I personally had a great laugh when she interpreted the role of maid and a child minder in …
Sixteen Candles (1984 Film)
Who cannot love a young Molly Ringwald as a fashion forward teenager who is trying to survive high school? I know that I can’t, and that is why it’s hard to not absolutely love the 1984 film “Sixteen Candles”. Not only is this movie funny, but it really does …
