Movies Reviews
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …
Down by Law (1986)
“Down by Law” is a 1986 US movie in English filmed in black and white. The 107 movie is in some ways a series of vignettes that tell the stories of three men who meet in prison, serve time together, then escape the Louisiana Parish Prison through a swamp. …
Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel. I grew up watching Disney’s second Golden Age, so I watched “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Mulan”, and so many other masterpieces in addition to their creations during the first Golden …
Adaptation-movie
The much acclaimed american screenwriter Charlie Kaufman here works together with the former music video director Spike Jonze for the second time. It’s a very complicated story in the centre of which Kaufman himself appears (and his evil twin brother!), played brilliantly by Nicholas Cage. He tries to write …
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …
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. …
Street Law, movie (1974)
Enzo Castellari has a knack for making Italian action films. Fabio Testi seemed to be his go-to star. Yet, one film in particular, Castellari utilized the talents of the original Django. The end result was one of the better poliziotteschi films put out by Castellari. …
Holiday Wishes movie
I love to watch a good Christmas movie, and goodness knows, I’ve watched a ton, but even so, I have to admit that this 2006 TV movie, Holiday Wishes, is just a so-so film that doesn’t really emit any emotions of consequence. It’s a filler with mostly mediocre …
Girls of Rochefort movie
This is a french musical from director Jacques Demy and his wife Agnes Varda. Just is with his more famous The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, it’s all shot in colorful images with beautiful actors. The story is about the people of Rochefort who all seem to bad inluckily in love. …
Wolverine the Movie
Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.
This first installement of I’m guessing all the X-men members origin is a very effective appetizer to X-men fans out there.
The arrogant and lonely Logan, …
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 …
Wild Wild West
I was almost eleven when the movie “Wild Wild West” came out in theatres. It was a little before I just entered high school and I can remember how a lot of m friends who were in that same age group wanted to watch it. Back then, we …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
After Dark Horror Fest: Nightmare Man
Nightmare Man is an odd little horror movie that deserves to go straight to DVD. Thanks to the power of the After Dark Horror Fest though, it got a limited theatrical release before ending up on the video store shelves. I picked it up recently simply because I liked …
The Number 23 movie
A lot of people don’t like Jim Carrey’s comedy and, when he first hit Hollywood, people didn’t think much of him. However, his movie, The Number 23, shows a range of acting skill that might surprise a lot of people.
Carrey plays an animal control worker who is given a …

From Memphis to Norma.. this movies got it all!If you’re a music lover then this movie is for you! It has all genres of music. The dialogues are witty and of course it also gets quite sentimental at times (pass me a tissue!), but overall its time and money …
Braveheart movie
Being a former history major, I absolutely love movies based in historical times; especially when they are about legendary characters. Braveheart is a movie that has all the qualities I look for in a historical movie. It?s an accurate portrayal of the hero but still takes some liberties with …
Robin Hood (2010) Movie
Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.
Robin Hood is a man named Robert Longstride, an archer who accompanies …
Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.
Funny it is, ’cause the movie “Fog” was really trying hard to be classically sophisticated sci-fi. Well, no it isn’t. Though, the graphics was seemed great and modern …

Repulsion movie
Roman Polanskis masterful effort about a woman, played by the beautiful Catherine Deneuve, who step by step goes insane in here solitude. Polanski builds the suspense like only a master would be able to. The narrative is very unpredictable, almost claustrofobic, and Deneuve is excellent in the leading role. …
Ice Princess (2005)
Ice Princess is one of the movies, I consider an inspiration for youngster and adult. It is about the struggles a student must overcome, in order to go through college or university. What lies beyond high school? One may either join the workforce or take the first step in …
The Father of the Bride
Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …

Sliding doors movie
Sliding doors is definitely a different movie and I really liked it for it’s innovative taking. The movie has two stories which shows the two prospects of life of the protagonist after a particular incident. Gwyneth Paltrow played the role of the protagonist. But the climaxes of both the …

The Messengers
The Messengers is just a lame, dull, boring story that I have seen played in movies countless times before. I don’t understand why they should make a horror movie as such. If I am to be a Director, and I decide to make a horror movie, I …

The movie is a rather goofy movie in my opinion. One that …
50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …
The Ruins
We watched the movie The Ruins last night and, while I thought it was going to be one of those B-rated horror films that neither scares you or entertains you, I was surprised to find out it wasn’t half bad.
The movie is about a bunch of college kids who …
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? movie
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? from 1978 is a movie that I really didn’t expect to tolerate, let alone enjoy. I say only because when it started, I could tell that it was British and the opening bit wasn’t my style. I groaned in …
