I watched this movie a couple of years ago, overall I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was a lot funnier than I expected it to be. I hadn’t seen any previews to it before I watched it and just saw it on television one day and …

This creative and somewhat inspiring computer animated story would have been better without certain types of humor. As I’ve already said in my review of both Shreks, farting, in my opinion, is not funny but disgusting, and shouldn’t be on the screen. As to the story itself, it’s all …

This is like a music show cum movie. This story is about a young man, who is really into Rock and Roll. This movie features Kate Hudson, and she really is a good actress in this movie.

Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …

This 1998 mini-series is based on a novel by Charles Dickens. Despite many subplots, Dickens usually focused on one large theme in each of his books and explored it in great detail. In this particular work, he looks into the subject of Money. Or, to define it better, Money …

From 1951, Home Town Story is another movie from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that gets right to the point. It has to because it’s just over an hour an length, which wasn’t uncommon for films before the sixties.
When I first put this on, I was taken aback somewhat by …

Never Been Kissed is a pretty good movie. I really liked it. It shows how love can still really be found in this world. I think that Drew barrymore did a very good job of acting. Her acting was just so magical. I really liked the plot and the story …

36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …

How can I write a review on a movie like this? Resident Evil: Apocalypse almost single handedly ruined the Resident Evil movie franchise. The plot was beyond terrible and the acting was laughable. Milla Jovovich was still looking just as good in this movie, but she couldn’t even save …

This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …

It’s been a long time since I’ve actually been interested in something from Pixar Animation, but since I heard a lot of good reviews about one of their latest works, “Inside Out” I decided to take the risk with it. It turns out I actually enjoyed the movie, and I …

Why is our society so crazed about sex, sex-related humor, gay humor and such?? Or perhaps this is not the society but just Hollywood? Go figure… Here is another movie full of that stuff, a movie that probably could have been good otherwise.

The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
