Movies Reviews
House of Wax
House of Wax is a horror movie that most people hated right away, but I liked it. I wouldn’t say that I loved the movie, but I didn’t think it was nearly as bad as everyone said. I’ve never seen the original movie and all I know of it …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …
Maximum Risk (1996)
When Alain Moreau discovers the body of a slain man, he sees that they look exactly alike; it would seem that this dead man is his brother and his twin brother at that. Not knowing who this man was or what led up to his death, Alain now takes …
Batman: The Dark Knight
I am not a big fan of Batman series as such, but I heard a lot of good reviews about this new flick, and some of my friends also recommended me this movie, so I finally decided to give it a watch on this weekend., I went to …
Soul Survivors (movie)
When I came across the movie Soul Survivors in the Wal-mart clearance aisle, I had a faint memory of watching it at some point but couldn�t remember much about it. Normally, this tells me it isn�t a memorable movie, but because it was only $5 and had Eliza Dushku …
I Miss You Like Crazy 2010
Last February 2010, my friends and I have decided to watch a drama-comedy romantic flick starring one of the famous Philippine love teams today, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo entitled I Miss You Like Crazy. The film is about a guy named August (John Lloyd) who accidentally fell …
My Wife is a Gangster Part 1 The Movie
It was a Korean movie that was funny combined with action and suspense as I watched it. I first came to know this Korean actress named Eun Kyun Shin when she portrayed the role of Mantis as one of the big boss or leader of a gang. I did …
Knight and Day Movie (2010)
As I saw the trailer for this movie a few weeks ago, I knew I had to watch it, seeing Tom Cruise in action again, plus with funny Cameron Diaz playing as his lady love in the movie. When the movie finally hit the screen, a lot of people …
Tears of the Sun
The Tears of theSun is a thrilling movie that talks about a squad of American Special Troops, leads by Lt Waters. They travel deep into the hostile area of Africa to carry out a rescue mission. for this movie, I think there are totally three advantages.
First, that this the …
Movie Waterworld
The movie Waterworld was on cable the other night and, because I haven’t seen it in a while, I decided to sit down and watch it.
I remembered it being much better than it turned out to be.
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I will say he put …
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I am reviewing the movie, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, starring Adam Sandler and a variety of other actors. So…how to explain this movie? There’s this Pakistinian guy named Zohan and he’s really popular. He fights terrorist groups. What he really wants to do is to cut hair, …
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, and Telly Savalas.
I had never seen this film, but I always wondered why this was Lazenby’s only movie as James Bond. Well I now know why. This rough looking big eared Scot was not …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
The devil wears prada
This is a Meryl Streep movie, and like all of her movies she is simply fantastic. I find that Streep gives that extra input in her work that makes her such an extra ordinary actress. I personally compare her a lot to the actor, Joaquin Phoenix they …
Untraceable (2008)
Untraceable (2008)is directed by the Gregory Hobilt. I thought this is going to be another boring DVD, with just a normal action flick story. But the storyline is real awesome. It is about this serial killer on the rise who projected his crimes and action deeds …
The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan
Usually in Singapore it is common to anticipate a Jackie Chan block-buster in and around the Chinese New Year period, where the slightly longer holidays would encourage better box office.
However, this year’s “The Spy Next Door” starring Jackie Chan and Amber Valletta did not create any hype surrounding the …
Vanilla Sky (2001)
Vanilla Sky, directed by Cameron Crowe is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexuality and strong language. The original release date was December 14, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Mystery/Romance/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars Tom Cruise as David Aames, …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …
The movie I am Legend
I am one of those people who love scary or mysterious movies. You know what I’m talking about the “what if this happened movies.” I love all kind of movies, but I was really wanting to see the “I am Legend” movie with Will Smith. I must mention that …
One Hour Photo movie
One Hour Photo is a movie about a man who works in a one hour photo lab. Sy is played by Robin Williams, and as usual, Robin Williams delivers a superb performance. Sy is a loner and quite strange. Because Sy has no life of his own, he lives …
Movie: Pretty in Pink
Synopsis: A poor high school teenager falls in love with a boy from a wealthy family and has to deal with prejudices that are the result of her upbringing.
What I liked about this movie: This film has been out for a long time and this was the first time …
Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
The Diamond Tooth
I am reviewing the Case of the Diamond Tooth, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Belligerent Ghost
I am reviewing The Case of the Belligerent Ghost, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Hangman
I watched this movie called hangman a couple of years ago on lifetime. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It had a good story to it and a good plot to it. The acting was good and it kept me interested. It entertained me throughout the whole movie. …
Detachment (drama movie)
The film Detachment is a little different from the dramas that I’m used to watching, and this is why I liked it so much. It is its raw and gritty nature that attracts me to it, and the fact that it does nothing to conceal certain elements that are bordering …
Queen Sized movie
I came home early today and my wife was watching the movie “Queen Sized” on TV. I had never heard of the movie and, since it was raining and there wasn’t much else to do, I sat down to watch it with her.
I missed the first half hour or …
American Pie: Book of Love Movie
I like American Pie movies, but so far this is the most low-budget and low-cost American Pie movie I have ever seen. All of the characters are not famous and there isn’t one original character that was shown here unlike the first American Pie movie, but I still watched …
What Just Happened film
“What Just Happened” is what I like to call a sleeper film. Much like fantasy football there are sleeper picks which are people that perform much better then thought. This film is the definition of that. “What Just Happened” didn’t have much promotion, actually I …
Mister Roberts movie
I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …
Horror of Spider Island Movie
I ended up watching an old movie last night called Horror of Spider Island. From what I can tell, this was a foreign movie (likely German) that was dubbed and was supposed to be a scary movie.
Well, I have to tell you, this black and white film was one …
Pirahna 3D: The Movie
“Piranha 3D” was the predictable horror movie I expected it to be. It’s Spring Break, and a local small town is bombarded with sex-crazed and drunken college students at their lake. The main character, Jake, is the son of the local sheriff. She asks him to …
Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
I decided to see it in its full glory, …
The Family That Preys movie (2008)
The Family That Prey is another movie from Tyler Perry that is one of my personal favorites. I have loved it ever since the day I first watched it. Like most of Tyler Perry films and plays they have a moral and usually some kind of twist to the …
Thank You for Smoking (2006)
Thank You for Smoking (2006) is a comedy directed by Jason Retiman and is rated R for language and some sexual content.
Thank You for Smoking takes place in Washington D.C. where Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is the public spokesperson for big tobacoo. Naylor is a blonde, pretty boy …
Jumanji movie
Jumanji was one of the movies I wanted to see in the theater, but wasn’t able to. From 1995, it stars Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Adam Hann-Byrd, and Laura Bell Bundy. It’s actually a nice adventure for children who aren’t afraid of monsters …
Meet Dave: the movie
Eddie Murphy stars in the movie Meet Dave. The plot of this science-fiction/comedy is very original. At the start of the movie, a strange meteor like object crashes into a boy’s bedroom. It lands in his goldfish bowl and immediately sucks up the water. We …
The Clinic 2010 movie
As far as a horror movie goes this is every women’s nightmare. I didn’t find this film either jumpy neither scary but i found it utterly disturbing. The thought that some of those things can happen in real life, that places like this existed was disturbing enough without having …
Joe’s Apartment movie
When I first saw this show being aired on cable television, it was when I had come home one Friday from high school and was flipping through the channels for something fairly decent to watch. It was that time when I saw a scene with singing cockroaches and a …
Ocean’s 13
Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.
The problem that I have had with every …
Gabriel
I’ve first known of the movie Gabriel after I saw my aunt watching it. I asked her what’s the movie she’s watching and what is it all about. Since she was not accustomed to telling tales, she answered me directly with, “The angel Gabriel of course.”
Gabriel is an Australian …
Kung Fu Panda
Yesterday, I’ve watched a movie in theater. The title is Kung Fu Panda. I think that movie is not just like any movie usually. That’s perfect! I’ve watched it 3 times. Once with my husband, second with my sister, and the last with my friends. First time I knew …
Bond 007
Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.
They all have distinct portrayal of “Mr. Bond” with respect to their screen personality. But good thing, despite their individuality, they …
Movie Halloween
We recently switched to Direct TV in our house and, because of that, we have a few movie channels that we didn’t have before (only for a couple months though).
One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have to say, this movie really did live up to my expectations. Third in the series that also includes The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie follows Jason Bourne as he seeks out the people who made him what he has become and gradually “all …
Moulin Rouge movie
This movie which acts like a musical is very enjoyable to watch. I really liked the singing, and found Nicole Kidman great in her role. The coincidences were funny, and the entire movie was just silly.
The play within the movie was ridiculous, but how they tied it into the …
Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Last weekend I went to go see Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I went to go see it on opening night and the theater was packed. My friends and I actually wanted to go to any early show but they were sold out so we had …
Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is hilarious. There’s really no other way to put it. It’s vulgar and borderline offensive at points but if you can get through that you’ll have a blast watching this movie.
It opens with some “advertisements” of the products from the various characters. Our theater …
The Avengers (2012 movie)
The Avengers was, to put it lightly, absolutely epic. I’ve never been that interested in superhero movies, games, or comics, but this action film was incredible. The way the action blended perfectly with the story line meant that I was captivated for the entire time, even though it’s a …
