Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde (2003)
As if the first movie was not bad enough for the viewers, there is now this load of what can only be called utter crap of a movie. This time, it is now Elle’s job to bring a voice to the animals when she discovers that her dog’s mother …
Shutter Island movie
“Shutter Island” by Dennis Lehane is a novel adapted to a movie called “Shutter Island”. I rented the DVD of Shutter Island from a local DVD store three days ago and decided to watch it yesterday. I had a lot of expectations from the …
Big Bad Wolves (thriller movie)
I think that the theme of Vigilantism never truly loses its charm no matter how many times movies are made on the subject. This is why I was quite interested in watching the movie “Big Bad Wolves”. I’d never seen an Israeli film before and I was curious to know …
Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.
Danny Archer (Leonardo …

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 …
The Breed —“ movie
The Breed is a horror movie that was directed by Wes Craven. The plot of the movie is simple. It concerns a small group of teenagers (the typical age group of victims in horror movies, especially Wes Craven horror movies) who go camping on a remote island. …
Bringing down the house
Bringing down the house is a fine comedy movie. This Steve Martin and Queen Latifah starred movie is I have watched this movie on DVD and it is a nice movie, at least one doesn’t get bored at any point of the movie. The performances of Queen Latifah and …
Movie: Open Graves
I don’t know why I bother taping “horror” films off of the SyFy channel. Yes, occasionally, they will have a decent one. But, more often than not, the movies are actually pretty darn terrible.
The film Open Graves is a good example of that.
I DVR’d this film back in February …
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016 Adventure Comedy-Drama Film)
Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …
Wendy Wu: Homecoming Queen Movie
Wendy Wu:Homecoming Queen is a Disney Channel original movie that was starred by Brenda Song. It is about a sassy girl running for her school’s homecoming queen title who suddenly being tasked by a chinese monk who was reincarnated for a thousand times for her to get trained and …
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
What can I say - the title of this review says it all! I watched “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at Greenbelt Cinema 3 with my best friend and her son last weekend and it was, in a word, awesome! The movie really lived up to all the hype.
If …
Magic Mike XXL (2015) movie
Magic mike XXL is a drama comedy movie directed by Gregory Jacobs.As you may know,its the sequel of the movie Magic Mike released in 2012.Undoubtedly,it is again about group of male strippers who want to put one last show.This movie is for a very limited audience. You may think this …
3:10 to Yuma (Original-1957)
With the removie of due out on video any day I thought I’d prepare by watching and reviewing the original movie done fifty years ago. “3:10 to Yuma” was a Columbia Picture, shot in black and white, something I really like, and lasting 91 minutes, also something I like. …
Trespass (movie)
I was completely clueless that the movie “Trespass” even existed until someone made me watch it very recently. After watching it, I liked it so much that I couldn’t help but recommend it to people who are looking for a good suspense and thriller movie to watch. This was …
Movie This Is It
I am a huge fan of the late Michael Jackson, so I just had to see this film. I’m so glad I did, because it offered me a lasting glimpse of the superstar during his last days on earth.
I know all of Michael Jackson’s songs, especially the …
“Adam” Movie
The movie Adam is very interesting. It is about an adult with Aspergers syndrome which is similar to autism or some may call it high functioning autism. This movie was unique because they portrayed a normal man, not a genius or an idiot savant, but …
Gidget movie
Gidget is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a beach movie, a light comedy about growing up and falling in love. It’s simple, and that’s why it works. The acting is good, and it’s just an upbeat, let’s have a good time watching it movie.
Sandra …
Elektra (2005)
Another comic book story takes center stage for the silver screen, this time it is the character that was killed in the Daredevil movie, this is the story of Elektra the assassin who wants nothing more to do with killing people, and this time around she wants a clean …
Corpse Bride (movie)
Corpse Bride is a 2005 animation, fantasy and musical movie directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson. I decided to watch this movie after I watched Coraline, which was one of the best animation movies that entertained me really well. The reason why I linked this movie to Coraline …
The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …
The Battle of Algiers (1967) - a militaristic movie
One readily used type of warfare, since the middle 40s has involved resistance fighters– not part of any particular governmental militaristic group. The resistance fighters attack standard armies; then seem to evaporate or blend back into the populous. Further, grenades have been thrown by individuals of civilian …
The Europeans (1979)
This 1979 movie has failed my expectations, big time. It is based on a novel by Henry James, and the story is set in 1850s � my favorite timeframe, so I thought I was going to love it. A wealthy American family lives a comfortable life in their house …
America’s Sweethearts movie
A winsome salute to classic comedies, this movie produced by Columbia Pictures in 2001 brings together an award-winning ensemble to deliver a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of contemporary behind-the-scenes Hollywood.
In the movie, Kiki (played by Julia Roberts), is the personal assistant of the beautiful superstar Gwen (Catherine …
The Jackal movie
The interesting thing about the movie “The Jackal” is that you end up liking both Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. Even though Willis interprets an evil character in this movie, you can’t help liking him for his great acting skills. I must also say that Gere has been equally …
Captain America: The First Avenger Movie
Of all the movies about superheroes I think that Captain America is the most difficult in terms of obstacles to overcome. The mythical origin of Thor, the wealthy luxury and fussiness of Tony Stark, the early wrestling appearances by Peter Parker, who is trying to impress the audience that …
S1m0ne
“S1m0ne” represent a different type of movie for Al Pacino. I believe that Al chose to make this science fiction movie in order not to be linked always to the usual type of characters. This movie could be best described as one of the big failures for Al Pacino …
Arthur 2011 movie
I just recently saw the movie Arthur (2011). This stars the actors Russel Brand, the famous Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner. Apparently, this has a low rating in IMDB but I loved this movie! People have been comparing it to the old Arthur movie which stars Dudley Moore. I …
Click
I actually enjoyed this movie. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember it. I love Adam Sandler. In this movie he gets a remote and uses that remote to get ahead. There are some twists which I won’t give away. It is an enjoyable movie for …
The Triangle - Part 1 movie
I’ve always been interested in the Bermuda Triangle so any time there is a decent production relating to it, I like to watch. I make the qualification about being ‘decent’ because there are a lot of very weird shows that are sub-par, so I try to weed those …
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector
When I started watching Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, I was doing so expecting to write a review about how lousy the movie was. I figured it would be full of crude humor and I would get bored with it within minutes.
I was right about the crude humor. …
Ready to Rumble (2000)
If you like pro wrestling in any way, shape or form, and this movie is just for you, yup, it is right up your alley and it will or will not prove to be a good thing. As this movie would have it, two sewage workers are extremely upset …
Disney’s The Lion King
I fondly recall the very first time I went to the movies; I was a little kid, impressionable, and had loved every second of “The Lion King” despite my having spilled my soda on myself in the first ten minutes of the movie. The story did not speak to …
54 movie
54 is a movie all about Studio 54, the New York nightclub that was a smash hit in the 1970s. 54 is not a documentary and is more fantastic than real so don’t watch this movie if you are expecting to find out what really happened behind the doors …
Minutemen
The best words to describe the movie “Minutemen” is a teen version of the movie “Back to the Future” based in high school. Although this is another Disney movie with a high school story, one can never compare this movie to the very much renowned and loved “High School …
Vows of Deception (1996 film)
The 1996 film starring Cheryl Ladd entitled “Vows of Deception” was an interesting, suspenseful and mysterious movie that, while it wasn’t the best film I have ever seen, was entertaining for the time I spent watching it. This was a Lifetime Movie Network movie, which is known to many …
The Wave movie
A corny film usually screened in schools about a teacher on a high school trying to figure out an effective way of making his students understand what it was like living in Germany during World War II and how easily people are corrupted into things they don’t really want …
Disturbia
I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …
Disturbing Behavior
One advantage of having a trial of ShowTime for the next three months is I get to see some movies I haven’t seen in a while. This included the movie Disturbing Behavior.
Even though the plot of the movie skips around a bit and is weak in some spots, I …
Wolverine and the Xmen
I watched “Wolverine and the Xmen episode 1& 2″ with my kids yesterday. I am an avid Xmen fan. I grew up reading the comics and watched the cartoons in the 1980’s I have also seen the movies.
I heard of this new “Wolverine and the Xmen” and decided …
Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York (2006) Movie
This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …
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 …
X-Men
The turn of the millenium brought in some great movies, and some not so great movies. It followed the trend of the late nineties by introducing more and more comic book heroes to the ranks of the silver screen. One of my favorite comic books to ever go the …

My Bloody Valentine (2009)
I got around to finally watching the remake of the 1981 movie “My Bloody Valentine.”
I normally like slasher flicks and, because of the nature of the movie, give them a little more in terms of consideration when it comes to the plot. But, this movie wasn’t very good.
You have …
Mystic River
Mystic River is a movie about three friends who are close when they are young and then something terrible happens. Mystic River is another movie that changes around so much it is hard to follow at times, but the plot is fantastic and Sean Penn as Jimmy is excellent. …
The Legend of Zorro (2005)
The Legend of Zorro, directed by Martin Campbell is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Antonio Banderas as Zorro and Alejandra and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Elena.
The second installation to the classic Zorro saga, this movie tries to pickup from the first one and fails …
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Repo! The Genetic Opera is destined to be a cult classic, but does it deserve to be?
I recently purchased Repo! on Dvd, because it looked interesting. I did not, however, know that is was, quite literally, an opera. The whole movie, and every single line of dialouge, is told …
Richard III movie
Another film based on a play by Shakespeare, but moved to a modern environment. This time it’s set in England in the 1930s, where a civil war has lead to the death of the king. A new king is reinstated, but his younger brother is planning a plot against …
