Babel, Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu Movie
At first, people only have one language, but since the incident tower of Babel, God to punish man they have so many languages, so that written in the book of the Gospel. This film highlights the three stories in three different places, but there is a red thread that …
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace doesn’t exactly strike me as the movie that fans really expected Lucas to make following the original three films. The way that Lucas released his movies makes it slightly hard to connect them all, assuming Episode 2 and 3 are currently missing, …
Fantasia/2000 movie
The IMAX movie Fantasia/2000 was a blast with my little cousins. I brought both of my 2 darling cousins to watch this IMAX movie, and since both of them are 4 and 3 years respectively, they giggled throughout the movie, and really enjoyed it so much.
My most favorite …

The Social Network: Movie
The Social Network was, for me, one of the best if not the best film of 2010 —“ and one of my all-time favourites.
I wasn’t too sure about the storyline but after recommendations I’m glad I gave it a chance, the plot is a very interesting and I wasn’t …

Homeward Bound
I thought this was a pretty good movies for kids. I enjoyed watching it when I was younger. I don’t really care for it now that I am older but I still enjoy it to some point. It’s alright. It’s about these cats and dogs that get lost, there …
The Christmas Dinosaur
Since we are past Thanksgiving and officially in the Holiday season, I allowed my daughter to finally watch some Christmas movies I loaded on the Netflix player. One of them was The Christmas Dinosaur.
The movie turned out to be somewhat farfetched and predictable but was still an enjoyable animated …
Final Destination 3 (2006)
The third and hopefully the last in the trilogy known as Final Destination. This time they go too far and make the movie too predictable. Whereas in the first movie, you can understand to some extent what happened after the boy had a premonition in the form of a …
Movie Love Wrecked
I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.
In “Love Wrecked” we see Amanda Bynes interpret the role of Jenny Riley who is totally crazy about a famous and popular rock star, Jason Master. …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This latest installment of the Indiana Jones series is my least favorite because of several things. It’s not as fun and entertaining; Harrison Ford as Henry “Indiana” Jones is no longer as hot as he was in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; and I don’t like the story …

HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION movie
This movie is one of the halloween series with Jamie Lee Curtis. I watched the first one years ago and I enjoyed it. It had a realistic story about three teenaged girls who were interested in boys and clothes and the usual things. Michael Myers, a …
The Village - Movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The Village is one of the later movies of M. Night Shyamalan. I have for a long time believed that the beauty of Shyamalan’s movies was dwindling but this movie was among those that were better than you would first thought.
In all truthfulness the movie started out very …
Abandoned and deceived
I watched this a couple years ago on lifetime movie network. I remember the movie really well though because it was so good. It is by far one of my favorite movies they play, if not my favorite. It’s about a woman that can’t get child support from her …
Baby Einstein movie
I’m not sure who came up with the Baby Einstein series on DVD but I am very glad that they did. These videos are a god-send for parents of toddlers everywhere.
My 2-year-old will watch movies but, like most kids her age, doesn’t sit too long before she’s moving on …
Mean Girls movie
If there was any movie that made Lindsay Lohan the celebrity she is now, Mean Girls would be it. As Cady, the smart-yet-uncool new girl from Africa who made the fearless journey from homeschooling to the uncharted territories of the American high school safari, Lohan appeared quite the …
The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 Theater Sacramento, CA
Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 is the only theater near my house. Its located right on the boarder of a bad neighborhood. I would never go to this theater at night by myself. There is a rough crowd that hangs around it a night. The theaters always smell really bad, …
The Hitcher DVD
This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …

James & the Giant Peach
OK, I finally got a chance to watch the movie James & the Giant Peach. Wow, what a dull piece of garbage.
Personally, if I would have been the star of this film, it would have been called something like Steve & the Giant Can of Raid. I’m sorry, but …
Love, Lies And Murder
Love, Lies And Murder is based on the true story of Cinnamon Brown. Cinnamon kills her stepmother and goes to juvenile jail for the murder. The real story, however, is that Cinnamon is coerced by her father, David, to kill Linda. It is such a heartbreaking tale because when …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
Big Bad Wolves (thriller movie)
I think that the theme of Vigilantism never truly loses its charm no matter how many times movies are made on the subject. This is why I was quite interested in watching the movie “Big Bad Wolves”. I’d never seen an Israeli film before and I was curious to know …
Nayak (movie), 2001
The movie Nayak released in 2001. I watched this film at home on TV. The story is of a man who becomes the Chief Minister of a state for only one day and what kind of changes and reformation he introduces into the system for the betterment of people …

Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)
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 …
Netflix movie rent
Most people know what Netflix is, but for those that don’t it’s a business that lets people rent movies by mail. It only works if you have a computer and internet access. How Netflix works is that you sign up with them online, they have different memberships to choose …
Zombieland movie
I’ve never been one to be a fan of blood and gore zombie movies. Ever since I was a kid and channel surfed across a midnight showing of Day of the Dead on TV (of which up until that point, I had no clue how icky the human imagination …
Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
Underworld: Evolution
Underworld Evolution revisits the lady vampire that Kate Beckinsale plays in the film. Also, her half wereworlf, half vampire boyfriend who is like the superman of the dark underworld. This is one of the few sequels I’ve seen which I liked better than the original. I thought it was …
The Lady Vanishes movie
One of my favorite Hitchcock films from his time in England. An old lady disappears while travelling in Switzerland, and when this is noticed by two of the passengers a most hideous plot is revealed little by little to a most unexpected end.
One of the first brilliant examples of …
Heat Wave (NR, 1990) movie
I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …
“Divorce Italian Style” (1961)
The 1961 Italian movie “Divorce, Italian Style” was shot in 105 black and white minutes. It is in Italian with English subtitles. It was filmed on Sicily and distributed by the Galatea Production company, a company who produced and distributed Italian movies from 1954 until 1965.
The movie tells …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …
The Princess Diaries
I didn’t expect this movie to be any good, but I admit I was wrong. Even though the story follows a very familiar template - a plain unpopular girl gets transformed into a gorgeous celebrity - the movie has a lot more than that. Mia, the unpopular teenage girl, …
Hard Rain movie
The idea of Hard Rain is quite simple: a storm has caused a whole town to be overflooded which results in chaos for an armored truck guard played by Christian Slater. He is forced to hide the money from his truck not to risk it getting stolen, but is …

This is the story of two children who have been relocated to live with the neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Glass as legal guardians after the tragic death of their parents. Their parents died in a terrible car accident in a car that was loaned to them the Mr. Glass …
Over The Hedge Movie
Over the Hedge is more then just an animated movie about a Hedgehog. Even though it’s rated PG, I think that it is one of those movies with the type of humor in it that virtually any adult can relate to and enjoy! Some of the humor …
Michael (1996)
Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …
Only God Forgives, movie (2013)
Drive marked the successful collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2011. When I heard that the pair were working together again, I was very intrigued by what they could create together next. …
Dus (movie), 2005
I watched Dus on TV. It released last year in 2005. This film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie is an action film. The action sequences are good but what is missing in this film is a proper story line. The story line is really stupid. The director, …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully. The only drawback is that much of the film takes place in dark underground mining shafts and eerie wooded areas at night, which makes it difficult at …
Tiger Warsaw movie
I remember vividly the conversation I had with the clerk at Blockbuster about Tiger Warsaw. I was in the process of becoming a huge Patrick Swayze fan and was renting some of his movies that I hadn’t seen. She warned me about Tiger Warsaw, telling me it …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …
