The Sex in the City movie
I don’t know that they necessarily needed to make a move, but I’m glad they did. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest movie of all time, but it was enjoyable if you are a Sex in the City fan like I am. Now, I would be wary for younger viewers …

Risky Business movie
I believe “Risky Business” represents an interesting way on how to make teen movie. It was an innovative way how to address teen and staying away from the teen movie stereotype. “Risky Business” also represented a nomination for the Golden Globe for a very young Tom Cruise. I personally …
The Mark of Zorro (1940)
Filmgoers today associate “Zorro” with Antonio Banderas but, as wonderful as Banderas is in the title role of the more updated version of this film, he can’t hold a candle to the original “Mark of Zorro” star Tyrone Power, who is just magnificent in this movie.
Power was at the …
Save the last dance 2
After watching the original “Save the Last Dance” movie, I must admit that the second version cannot be compared with the first one. I feel that that this movie misses out because the actors in the main roles have been changed and the script is not as good as …
Idiocracy
Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. It’s the story about an average ‘joe’ who gets chosen to participate in a military experiment. He was supposed to be cryogenically frozen for 1 year, but something goes wrong and he wakes up 500 years later. To his suprise society hasn’t …

Shrek the third
I’ve heard some very mixed emotions about Shrek the Third for weeks before I made up my mind to go and see it myself. It took me this long, mainly because I did not want to be disapointed. See, I am a very big Shrek fan. …
The exterminating angel movie
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is probably the one film most people remember the director Luis Bunuel for, but actually, The exterminating angel tells a very similar story and was made about ten years earlier by Bunuel. It tells the story of a group of rich people who …
Blood The Last Vampire [DVD]. Animated horror movie
Blood: The Last Vampire offers wonderful animation, grisly action, and an awesome main character, but lacks in overall length and depth of what truly could have been a perfect title. Saya is on the hunt for chiropterans, vampire-like demons that are wreaking havoc on a military base in Japan. …

The Proposal (2009) - Movie
I had a good time watching this movie. As an actor myself, I really appreciate Sandra Bullock’s comedic talents. She’s charming, goofy, and real. I also liked that the movie doesn’t use crude humor. There is some stripping and PG-13 nudity, but I felt it …
Robin Hood Movie (2010)
I rarely go to the movie theater here in town. But, my wife and I wanted to spend some time away from the kids and ended up going to see the new Robin Hood movie.
I don’t know if it was worth the $30 we spent on tickets and popcorn. …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
The Uninvited - Suspense thriller
Expectations were a lot from ‘The Uninvited’ but it was all gone after seeing the movie. The trailers shown on TV were too promising. You cannot say that it is a horror movie except for some creepy scenes when Anna, played by Emily Browning, is been visited by the …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
As soon as I saw this movie, I knew I had to watch it, because I was a child in the nineties and was interested in the x-men cartoons and the movies when they came out. I also thought that the trailers made the movie seem amazing and that …
The House on Sorority Row movie
I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …
Star Trek 2009
I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …
Death Note Movie
Death Note (2006) is one of the best foreign movies I’ve ever seen. Based on the popular Manga of the same name, and directed by Shusuke Kaneko, Death Note hails from Japan and tells a complex, interesting story about the faults of mankind.
Despite some pretty bad “heart attack” …
Merlin (1998 Film)
Jammed with magic and ancient times with myths and legends, the 1998 film “Merlin” is a film that many people can really get involved in. However, viewers should take caution in knowing that the film can seem to be dragging on from time to time. But Sam Neil does …
Enchanted the Movie
Enchanted was a totally Cinderella story, until the end. It was a good modern day fairy tale, and I ended up really liking it a lot. I thought that it would be a little fake at first, but still wanted to watch it. It turned out really great, and …
The Year Punk Broke 1991 movie
A music documentary about the private lives of the members of Sonic Youth and partly Nirvana during their tour in 1991. I would consider it a fans-only kind of film, but as I used to be a big fan of both these bands I found it very interesting. To …
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, movie
I enjoy horror movies. I often read them and watch them with the lights turned low, wanting to feel that wonderful scared feeling as the adrenaline gets going. I had seen the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre a year or so ago, and I wanted to …
Blitz (crime drama movie)
I’m truly at a loss as to why I keep torturing myself and watching movies with Jason Statham in it; since I almost always know what to expect. However, for some reason I decided to watch this one yet again, and once again I was disappointed. The ratings for it, …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”
I don’t go to the cinema all that often - not only is it quite expensive, but also I prefer to be able to pause, rewind, have a snack without disturbing fellow viewers and, most of all, I like to talk during a movie. Therefore, I tend to watch …
Interstellar (science fiction drama movie)
Initially I was torn between wanting to watch Interstellar and actually watching it, because I’d read a lot of bad reviews about it on the internet. Some reviewers including one of my good friends who has a similar taste as mine in movies, claimed it was terrible, hyped up and …
Stand By Me (1986 Classic Coming-of-Age Film)
I was definitely too excited to watch this movie. My fellow film buffs has suggested this to me because I have a special thing for coming-of-age films. Perhaps it is because I am 19 and the idea of growing up still fascinates me. What I was expecting before I saw …

The Spirit movie
I remember ive seen the commercial for “The Spirit” on television but never got to see it in the theaters. So I decided to pick it up on Bluray this week. This movie is about the city hero Spirit who is protecting it from an evil guy called Octopus. …
Axe (Movie)
The movie catches the common viewer’s attention rather quickly. I’m someone who has a hard time getting into movies which don’t take off quickly.. and this movie is a classic example of the complete opposite.
PLOT
The movie more-or-less has 2 plots, these include entirely seperate events, but eventually unfold and …

Stage Door Canteen movie
Stage Door Canteen, a 1943 wartime motion picture, was a real place in New York City. This movie is chalk full of big time stars of the day. Close your eyes for a second and you might miss Judith Anderson, Tallulah Bankhead, Ray Bolger, or any one …
Wild Hogs

was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …
The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …
Edward ScissorHands
Edward ScissorHands is one of my all time favorite movies. The music and scenery is must majestic. I think this is one of Johnny Depp’s best roles. He plays the part of Edward. Edward was created by his father who was an old inventor. But he never got to …
Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …
Motherhood Motion Picture
I have enjoyed many of Uma Thurman’s movies over the years but this was sadly not one of her better ones. I had read negative reviews about this movie before I watched it and they were right. The acting and directing in this script were great. …
The Movie Annie (1999 version)
I grew up with the Original Annie. I loved the movie and the “Tomorrow ” song still plays in my head from time to time. So when I saw the 1999 version on television, I decided to watch it. I had never seen it before and thought …
