Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray Movie
After Alien 3 didn’t really impress me, I wasn’t sure Alien Resurrection would be any good. I purchased the Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray. The filmmakers ended the series on a really strong note, giving some finality to the alien storyline. Ripley died to keep the …
Intimate Strangers (R, 2004)
You have to be one of those people who really likes foreign cinema to truly enjoy and appreciate this film. Set in France, a woman seeking therapy for her troubled marriage ends up at a tax analyst’s office by mistake. Before the analyst can divulge that …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …
The Tangerine Bear (2000 Film)
The 2000 movie called “The Tangerine Bear” is a simple cartoon film for families during the holidays that have strong morals and a very cute themed story that revolves around a bear that was created with his smile sewn in upside down so that he is always frowning. This …
The gospel of John (Movie)
Many people said that this movie is boring and that those who think that the movie is very interesting must be lying for the sake of religious reason. Well, as the saying goes, one man’s meat is another poison, and therefore, one man’s poison can also be to the …
A Clockwork Orange (starring Malcolm McDowell)
Malcolm McDowell played it good. I watched the DVD A Clockwork Orange and it has a rather interesting plot in which it is involved with a bit of an experimentation issue and all. Malcolm plays a bad guy character and after being caught, he is being put through …
Movie UHF
Weird Al Yankovic has always been a controversial singer and is definitely no actor. But, his movie UHF is an instant classic that should be shown more on television.
Yankovic stars as a guy who inherits a near-bankrupt television station and ends up turning the station around, causing a head …
The Count of Monte Cristo Movie
This is one of the best classic medieval stories I have ever watched! Jim Caviezel is the main actor here playing the part of poor Edmond Dantes, who’s just a commoner intent on marrying his long-time lady love Mercedes Iguanada, portrayed by Dagmara Dominczyk in real life. Edmond’s “best …

Drillbit Taylor movie
My son and I go to the movies all the time. Our favorite movie theater is Arundel Mills Malls, Hanover MD. We saw a delightful little movie called Drillbit Taylor directed by Steven Brill. This PG-13 comedy stars Owen Wilson and Leslie Mann.
The plot …

Father of the Bride Movie
I had first watched that movie when a friend of mine was getting married; she was looking for wedding ideas, and someone had recommended the just released “Father of the Bride.” Well, as to wedding ideas, my friend did not get any: her finances were far more modest than …
Dead Like Me: The Ledger
Dead Like Me: The Ledger has a bit of a change for Roxy, who leaves behind the world of meter maids and joins the police force. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes in the future, but the first thing I noticed about it was that she …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
Inside by Dimension Extreme movie
This is definitely a must see movie if you a fan of gruesome horror. This is probably one of the bloodiest and most disturbing movie that I have seen in a long time!
It has a great story behind it. A pregnant woman loses her husband in a …
Bride Wars
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star in this wonderful Bride Wars. I watched this in the cinema with my best friend and we were relating to what we fantasized on our future wedding someday. I’m sure best friends will always talk about their own individual weddings someday and …
The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …
Yes Man movie
I took the time to watch the Jim Carrey movie Yes Man even though I had some reservations about it. I don’t mind him as an actor but some of his films are a bit too much for me.
However, I will admit the movie was much better than expected.
Carrey …
Mongolian Death Worm Movie
I took off yesterday afternoon and, since I discovered there isn’t anything good on TV Friday afternoons, I ended up watching a movie I had DVR’d a couple weeks ago; Mongolian Death Worm.
The movie, which in my opinion is pretty much a rip off of the film Tremors, was …
Movie Labyrinth (1986)
In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …

This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars Sylvester Stallone as Lt. Marion Cobretti aka Cobra, Bridgitte Nielsen as …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
The Vanished Murderer (Suspense Crime Action Thriller)
I guess I am on a marathon of Jiang Yiyan’s movies. I’ve previously mentioned why I became a fan of her and I won’t repeat myself here again.
A thing I realized about her movies is that, she usually has very interesting roles but the movie itself is always lacking somehow. …
Happy Feet
I am a teacher, a kinder garden teacher. I watched this movie because one of my students brought a penguin bag and it was his imaginary friend. Mambo, was the bag’s name. I loved the movie, with such beautiful animation and story line. How just by a single mistake …
61 DVD Movie
This movie is my most favorite movie of all time.
For anyone who isn’t aware of the movie, *61 is about the race between Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris to beat Babe Ruth’s home run record in a season. The film is directed by Billy Crystal and has one of …
Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion
Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is a good comedy movie. I watched this movie on the cable and I really liked it. The movie has Lisa Kudrow, Mira Sorvino, Janeane Garofalo, Camryn Manheim, and Alan Cumming playing the pivotal roles. Romy and Michele are two friends in their …
Lo Movie
Looking through my Netflix for something to watch on a rainy Saturday night, I came across a movie that seemed somewhat strange but also interesting and quirky. It was titled Lo, probably a film that most people have never heard of, it is a story of a young man …
Moulin Rouge (Movie)
Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it a lot of times and have never failed to enjoy and feel emotional during the movie. What I like about it most are the songs. The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly …
Moulin Rouge movie
I must admit that I was very much surprised by Moulin Rouge when I saw it. It’s not really my kind of movie, being an artsy, somewhat burlesque style of film, but I was so impressed with the singing talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor that it …
Across The Universe
Overview - After watching Across The Universe two days in a row, I can say that it’s probably my favorite movie of all time. Across The Universe is a movie that basically connects the lives of different people into one story and it tells the story through the use …
Transformers
It has been long time that I was able to watch such a wonderful movie. I don’t know whether most of them agree with it or no but I just love the movie. The way the camera rolls over the fights and scenes and comedy was more interesting and …

Coraline cartoon movie
I have just finished watching “Coraline” and I thought about writing the review now with the memory of it fresh in my head.
It is a cute cartoon movie, a bit too spooky for young children but nevertheless very moralizing.
I have let my son watch it with me and he …

Mai Otome is a 26-episode anime series. Another name for this anime is Mai-Z-Hime. This anime takes place in an alternate universe to another anime called “Mai-Hime”.

This show …
Movie Martian Child
This was a really good movie. John Cusack does an amazing job in it. He adopts this little boy who tells everyone he is from “red planet”. All of the actors do a really good job in it. The movie kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. There are …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
The Happening (2008) Movie
I really did not know what to think of the movie The Happening. The trailer looked promising, the actors were supposedly good, and the writer and director is M. Night Shyamalan. He was the one who gave us the Sixth Sense, the Village, and now, this.
The Happening stars Mark …
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012 film)
We all have an iron memory of Disney’s Snow White, the animated film that conceived the enduring image of a wide-eyed princess garbed in puffed sleeves and beribboned hair. I know Snow White head to heels because I used to sketch her often in my notebooks as a …
Knight and Day Movie(2010)

Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …

The Edge of Seventeen (2016 Coming-of-Age Film)
Seriously? Another coming-of-age/young adult movie? Well yes, that is what I expected when I watched this film last night. However, when the film ended, I accused myself of immediately judging the book by its own cover. What happens inside this movie is structurally the same as almost any young adult …

Whiplash (drama movie)
