Casino Movie
I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …
Happy Feet Movie
The movie Happy Feet was one of the best children’s movies I have seen this year.
The soundtrack was awesome. I was amazed at the computer graphics used in the movie. The penguins looked real as well as the other animals.
One of the things that most impressed me …

Shrek Forever (movie)
I totally forgot about this Shrek movie until my brother reminded me about it some time ago. It’s the fourth Shrek film, and even though I didn’t get the idea that it was as popular as the other movies, I thought that it was every bit as fun and …

Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
Remember the titans
Usually I don’t like movies about football or any sport for that matter. I really liked this movie though. It has Denzel Washington in it. I think he did an amazing job in this movie, like he usually does. The movie was good because it had a very good …

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015 Film)
2015 was a historic year for me. Simply because it was the time when I took filmmaking by heart. So many good movies were released last year, so many that I was spoiled by the scarcity of quality films this year.
Last year at this exact point, Mad Max: Fury Road …
The Legend Of 1900
The Legend Of 1900 is a movie about this man who lives on a ship. Tim Roth, one of my favorite character actors, plays 1900, the person who the story was written about. The Legend Of 1900 is so beautiful that the movie just made me get all weepy …
The Karate Kid (2010)
I’m not really much of a karate fan. The word karate sent my thoughts to Asia where these bunch of really flexible asians start kicking some sorry guys’ ass and while they’re at it, they utter a lot of chinese that would make me go, “what the efff are …

Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
Sweet Home Alabama movie
A darling little movie that my family loves to watch (yes, even my husband likes this chick flick) is Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon is such a cute actress with such endearing talent, that she is perfect as Melanie. This may be a glorified case of you can take …
Death Live in L.A. (Death & Raw) DVD REVIEW
It was 2001 when Chuck Schuldiner made one of his last presentations with Death before withdrawing from the metal scene due to his battle against cancer. This DVD is not only a recording of this concert, which took place in a reknown L.A. house called ‘Whisky a Go Go’, …
What about Bob?
I really liked the movie What about Bob?. I think Bill Murray was very funny as the character of Bob. Bob is a guy who has mental problems and has to go see a shrink. He also is very paranoid and scared of everything. I think it’s very funny when …
Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …
Legally Blonde movie
Legally Blonde is a girly type of movie. This movie stars Reese Witherspoon as the determined law student who faces politicians and the law concerning animal cruelty. I thought that I would like this movie when I first saw the previews but once I rented it and watched it …

Halloween (1978 movie)
I love horror movies, and the original “Halloween” from 1978 is the one that started it all for me. I was too young to see it when it was first shown in theaters, so I actually didn’t get the opportunity to watch it until I reached my twenties. And …
1492: Conquest of Paradise movie
A film by the uneven filmmaker Ridley Scott about the explorer Chrisopher Columbus who discovered America. In my own humble opinion an extremely boring film with no sense of cinema what so ever. Ridley Scott proved his talent several times in his early career with brilliant visual films like …
Jumanji (movie)
When I was much younger, I had a sleepover with one of my aunts and she rented a video of a movie that she thought I would like to see. It was a few years after Jumanji was released and I never heard of the movie before that night, …
The Babadook (horror movie)

I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …
Westworld Movie
Filmed in 1973, the movie makes a decent attempt of portraying the future where very realistic, human-like androids serve for entertainment purposes. Delos, hailed as “vacation of the future,” is an amusement park divided into three major areas: West World, Medieval World, and Roman World; each one is populated …
I am Number Four (movie)
While I still can’t recall why exactly this was the case, I found that I wasn’t very interested in watching the movie “I am Number Four” when it was about to be released. I had watched the trailer and just wasn’t very impressed by what I had seen to …

The Bank Job (2007 version)
Who ever said that the movie, “The Bank Job” directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens is a good movie, well he/she doesn’t know what they are talking about. This supposed to be dramatic movie has a good story, but the end result is really horrible due to the way …
A Home Of Our Own (movie)

First, that this the …
Fearless Jet Li

First time I watch this movie, I wondering why this character is different with Catwoman in Batman movie. In this movie, the main character is play by Halle Berry and her name in the movie is Patience Phillips, she’s a half black but in the Batman movie, the Catwoman …
Personal Effects (starring Aston Kutcher)
Personal Effects is a movie that can be summed up in two words; boring and non-boring moments. The movie has its boring moments but there are also good ones too.
Ashton Kutcher and Michelle Pfeiffer have done a very good job of acting out this emotional movie. It is …
Final Destination 2 movie
I absolutely loved the first Final Destination when it came out and thought this one would be just as good. I was wrong.
Final Destination 2 was a good movie and was still better than many of the other thrillers out there. But, it definitely paled in comparison to the …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a parody send up of Star Trek and Babylon 5 made by a group of friends using nothing but their own equipment and personal computers. When one realizes that, the special effects in the film (which are top notch) are all the …

Barefoot (2014 movie)
After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers.
