Fast and Furious (2009) movie
Last night I watched this movie on my PC, and I have to say that having watched all the three films of the series I was not really expecting something different this time, but this movie surpassed all my expectations and remains faithful to its predecessors. I still maintain …

American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
Dude where’s my car?
Dude where’s my car? is a comedy movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott. It is a funny movie and one has to leave the brain behind while watching this movie as one doesn’t find any logic in the movie. But, after all comedy movies often end up …
Easy A (Movie 2010)
Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) was an invisible entity to the eyes of men. If a man was google earth, she would still remain as a fictional character burried under the rubble of anonimity. But, her world changed when she lied about a very personal thing: losing her virginity at highschool! …
By the sea Movie
A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …
Happy Together movie
Yet another film by the master Wong Kar-Wai, which tells the story of a homosexual couple and their stormy relationship. It ends the era of his more explosive visual style and brings him closer to what he does today. The narrative is slower, more thoughtful, but still Wong Kar-Wai’s …
The movie Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch
I loved the first Lilo and Stitch movie. It really is one of my favorite movies and one that I could not wait to own. However, I could have been more excited when I saw that there was to be a sequel Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A …
Click film
We had to watch this film for school. I thought it was a weird choice since… well, it was an Adam Sandler movie and you don’t really watch those movies in school as a requirement do you? Still, my classmates and I watched it and we found out why …

The night listener is a 2006 film released by Miramax Films that stars Robin Williams. The movie is about a talk show host Gabriel Noone who becomes infatuated with a young boy named Pete and his step mother that calls his show regularly. He wants to help Pete publish …
Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …
Cinemark Theatres
I enjoy going to our local movie theater every once in awhile just because the big screen itself cannot be compared to watching certain movies at home on the TV. There are some movies that I do not care for and will choose to wait until it comes out …
Space Cowboys
I haven’t seen the movie Space Cowboys since my wife and I saw it years ago on one of our first dates together (we can’t remember if it was the first or second movie we ever saw together). So, when it came on a couple nights ago, I figured …
Inception Movie (2010)
The last movie I saw was Inception (2010). It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levit (Arthur), Ellen Page (Ariadne),Tom Hardy (Eames),Ken Watanabe(Saito) Dileep Rao (Yusuf) and Cillian Murphy (Robert Fischer, Jr.). This is by-far the best mind bending movie I have seen in a long time.
I think …

Wedding Wars is about gay entirely. This movie is about 2 brothers, whom have a so called clash, as his brother was about to marry a Governor’s daughter, and his future father-in-law requested that he opposed gay marriages, which offends Shel, played by Stamos.
Stamos is certainly a dishy …
The Libertine Movie
The Libertine was a movie that came out last year starring Johnny Depp. The movie takes place during the 17th century and Johnny Depp
plays a poet whom the movie is built around. It seems as if there is no point to the movie as it just follows Johnny Depp’s …
The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
Good Morning Vietnam Movie
A disc jockey has a very popular radio show in the Vietnam War. Popular because he doesn’t care about the rules, he just performs his own show the way he wants it. The film is said to be based on real events, although Robin Williams improvises very much as …
Stephen King’s The Mist
This is one of the most recent of the Stephen King adaptations to hit the big screens, but I have to say that it isn’t one of the best. 1408 was one of the scariest movies I have seen in quite some time, but the Mist just didn’t …
My Best Friend’s Wedding - Movie
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a romantic comedy about a free spirited woman who realizes that she is in love with her best friend on the day he tells her he is about to marry another woman. This is a must see chick …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
This past weekend, we rented three movies. We were disappointed by 2. We absolutely loved the third one; Mr. Bean’s Holiday.
I’m actually a bit saddened by the fact this is going to be the last Mr. Bean movie. I say this because I have never laughed so hard at …

The sci-fi actioner is set 400 years in the future, when disease has wiped out the majority of the earth’s population except for one walled, protected city-state, Bregna, ruled by a congress of scientists.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009. It was directed by Stephen Sommers. I almost didn’t see this movie thinking it was for a younger audience. I’m glad I decided to. I liked it! That surprised me as I was never …
Drag Me to Hell (UR, 2009)
I am soooo glad that I waited to see “Drag Me to H3ll” on DVD. Had I watched it in the movies, I would have been extremely disappointed. In any case, I didn’t like that the film was too much of a dark comedy with some cheesy …
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
I have always dreamed of going to Spain and when i learned that the factual back-drop of Vicky Cristina Barcelona was Barcelona and Oviedo, i watched it sans hesitation.
The movie started with the two characters Vicky (Regina Hall) and Cristina ( Scarlet Johansson), two young americans who decide …
Happy Feet movie
The animated feature film Happy Feet features an all-star cast of voice talent. Unfortunately this talent is wasted plot that meanders through a worthwhile environmental message but never really comes together. It really seems as if the studio decided that environmentalism was the current hot issue, pardon the pun, …
84 Charing Cross Road
This gem of a movie is unfairly little known. Made in 1987, it stars Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft who tell a touching story of a 20-year-long friendship of two people who actually haven’t seen each other face to face.
Helene Hanff (Bancroft) is a struggling writer in New York …
The Haunted Mansion
I am not an Eddie Murphy fan. I wasn’t fond of him back in the days of Saturday Night Live, and I have never liked his comedy bits. He’s way too out of my comfort zone for acceptable and appropriate comedy. That said, the best thing …
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 …
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999) is a drama film directed by Ang Lee and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a revenge story like most wuxia stories that Ang Lee loved as a child. Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) is a martial arts …
Rambo, First Blood
I watched Rambo First Blood on video the other day and once again found myself enjoying a movie I’ve watched at least a dozen times before.
One of Sylvester Stallone’s best films ever, the movie is very well written and really makes you think about our Vietnam veterans and what …
Titanic movie
What can I say about the second highest grossing movie in the world? A lot, I guess. First, I have seen it at least twenty different times, ten of which was from the big screen. I guess I was one of those moviegoers who contributed to …
Unearthed, horror film by Matthew Leutwyler
Matthew Leutwyler hopes to strike it big again with Unearthed. The movie Leutwyler wrote, Dead & Breakfast, was a classic. Instead of following the same formula Leutyyler went with a different approach, one in which that will bore horror movie goers for years to come.
Unearthed feels like a …
Me, Myself & Irene (starring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger)
I watched Me, Myself & Irene 2 times actually and the first time I watched, I didn’t really have a clue as to what the story is all about because I wasn’t concentrating at all. During that time, the movie story was shown on my local TV and I …
Cars-animated movie
Disney can still make good movies, if they put their mind to it. I didn’t expect much went I to see “Cars”; I thought I would be treated to good animation (with the today’s technology, there is no excuse for bad one), some cute characters and some ugly ones, …
The Forbidden Kingdom
How would I don’t give perfect ten for a Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s movie? I must be cursed. This is a story about a West-boy who gets addicted with Chinese culture especially the Kung-Fu technique. He even spent all of his life watching all Bruce Lee’s films. Well, …
The Garden movie
As far as documentaries go, The Garden, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, has everything that I love in this genre of film. It is a film that depicts the battle for a 14 acre piece of land in south central Los Angeles following …
Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
Let me first say that our last name is HORTON, so this movie is definitely a treat, especially for the kids. They love the fact their last name is in a movie. It’s a treat for us adults who love Jim Carrey AND Steve Carell, who were both in …
Jackass: The Movie (2002)
One of my favorite television series when I was in high school was a television series named “Jackass” which starred pranksters Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O. I used to stay up with or without my brother every Sunday night in order to watch it, and I found most …
Apocalypto
‘Apocalypto’ is an English movie directed by Mel Gibson. The movie is not good but is shot well, but there is too much of violence in the movie. The movie is action-packed and the story line is good. All the actors have performed well.
The main character is a young …
Movie Monsters Inc.
Mike (Billy Crystal), a huge eyeball, and Sulley (John Goodman), a large blue-furred beast, work together at a factory known as Monster Inc. in a dimension where everyone is a monster and the screams of frightened children fuel their power supply. Sulley is known as the top scarer at …
No Good Deed (2014 Thriller Movie)
While I admire any attempt at diversifying movies so that non white actors have the rare opportunity of playing some of the main roles, that doesn’t mean I thought the 2014 movie “No Good Deed” was any good. As a matter of fact, it had the terrible luck of being …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie (2010)
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010) movie is a pleasant collaboration between Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who has been on creative fire since his “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. I think that he’s given the family company just a slightly edgy, darker appeal without getting too violent, goth or …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
I tried to avoid watching this movie for a long time. I heard how they had mangled Deadpool who is one of my favorite comic book characters into an unrecognizable mess, and consequently I decided that I wouldn’t encourage this sort of thing by giving any of my …
