Hard Cash movie
Hard Cash with Christian Slater, Val Kilmer, Daryl Hannah, Verne Troyer, and Sara Downing.
Whoever said that Christian Slater can be the lead role in any movie? He is so one dimensional that few movies stand a chance of surviving his subpar performances. Val Kilmer …

Adventureland movie
What an upset of a movie this was. I am surprised that I heard as many good reviews about it because I thought it sucked. I didn’t laugh not even one time during the whole duration of the movie. The movies is about a boy who just graduates from …
Toni Erdmann (2016 film)
2 hours and 42 minutes is a lot of time, and if I am a productive person I would be able to do so much other than just sitting in my comfortable chair watching a german-language movie called “Toni Erdmann”.
Truth be told, the first 10 minutes is a real struggle …
Passengers 2016 Film (PG-13)
Passengers is a 2016 film by Sony that stars Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Depending on the preview I saw before it was released, it either came across as a sci-fi adventure or a love story that happened to be set in space. My wife and I recently saw the …

The Scret Window (movie)
I love Johnny Depp and I think that he is just a re3ally versitile actor. He can play all sorts of rolls and keep you involved with the movie. I also like Stephen King as an autor and the combination of a Stephen King novel and a …
The Break-Up Movie Rental
The Break-Up should’ve broken up before ever hitting the movies. After renting this movie, I really wanted to ask for my money back. It was not at all like anything that I expected. The ending was absolutely horrible. When I read the cover before renting …
Raising Waylon movie
I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …

The Grudge (movie)
I watched this movie when it came out with my cousin. I went over to her house and she rented it so we watched it together. It was kind of scary throughout the movie but I don’t remember being all that scared. There are a lot more scarier …
Meet Dave
Played by one of the most respected comedians in the entertainment industry, Meet Dave is a movie that I would have otherwise been reluctant to watch, as I am not really into blatant fiction, but because of the Eddy Murphy factor, I knew that it would have that comedy …

Pretty Woman

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …
Knocked Up The Movie
I was fortunate enough to be able to see this movie in the theatres and I loved it. I don’t agree with the message it sends to its viewers but I found it funny and entertaining just the same. And here’s why you should watch Knocked Up.
Knocked …
Speedway movie
From 1968, Speedway combines the talents of Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra. Okay, it’s a so-so plot and we’ve seen it a thousand times, and the characters are stereotyped and not particularly that ‘wow-some’. I don’t think there’s any way you can say that either performer had …
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, film
The latest installment in the acclaimed Marvel cinematic universe, is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, a film which on the whole falls drastically short of both its own hype and the average quality of Marvel’s efforts in the last several years.

The Basketball Diaries
I have watched the movie “The Basketball Diaries” several times, but had not known the name of the film up until recently when I watched it again. It is not to be confused with another American film called “Love and Basketball” which has a completely different plot and setting. …
Superbad (2007)
The movie Superbad was before it came out, and even soon after it came out, an extremely hyped up movie; everyone was talking about it. Now almost nobody even cares about the movie.
Superbad is a comedy that is based on how high school kids want to always fit in …
Coraline movie
My roommate was under the mistaken impression that this was a Tim Burton film. In actuality, Tim Burton had nothing to do with it, but you can see why he would be under that impression.
The movie is based off of a novel by Neil Gaiman, of “Sandman” fame. …

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …
Saw V - Jigsaws Past
So I decided to purchase the movie Saw V and see if its better than the previous ones! I have seen the other 4 and have liked them, and now I can say the same about the fifth installment of this movie!
Im going to briefly to describe the plot …
Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz is one of the greatest movies of all time. Judy Garland played an excellent Dorothy. We can all learn something from the scarecrow, the lion and the tin man. So click your heels and follow the yellow brick road. Most people have …
Blood Diamond
‘Blood Diamond’ is a movie directed by Edward Zwick. Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsoun are the main actors. They have performed well in the movie. Diamonds are a status of wealth, but if you watch this movie, you will come to know that in the places where diamonds are …
Annabelle (2014) - Spin-off of ‘The Conjuring’
For me, most horror movies that have been produced in the last decade have merely used rehashed cliches and the same formulas to create what often turns out to be a subpar movie. The story doesn’t flow often and cheap tactics are used to incite fear. ‘Annabelle’ is another one …
In Her Shoes movie
In Her Shoes is one movie every sibling should see (especially sisters). I for one saw it with my sister. But unlike the characters in the movie, my sister and I have a close relationship. Probably because we are so similar in alot of ways, unlike the sisters in …
Ant-Man, 2015 Action, Science Fiction Movie
Much the same as the majority of the Marvel lovers, I didn’t care for the idea of Ant man when it was declared by Marvel. I thought the idea was very silly and faltering on the grounds and I thought “In what manner becoming littler be heroic?” particularly in correlation …
American Beauty
I think American Beauty is a very strong movie with lots of issues involved that are perhaps much closer to home than we can ever imagine. When I first watched this movie on the cinema, I thought that it is something like a Desperate Housewives setting TV drama with …
Disney’s Mulan movie
If you have watched this movie, you would agree with me that this is so much different than all other films produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mulan takes its art and story cues directly from Chinese mythology and successfully blends them with Disney elements. Mulan is a loveable, spirited …
View from a top movie
“View from the top” is an average movie about making your dreams comes true. It should convey a strong message of empowerment however the film is not that good. This is one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s movies and, may I say, not one of her best since it was a …
Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
Last Samurai Movie
The Last Samuria is truely a box office hit, no doubt about it. When it comes down to onscreen action, this film will leave you with goose-bumps, especially the scene where the ninjas attacked the village (guess you will have to watch it to find out exactly what happened). …
Oliver Twist (2005 movie)

A Guy Thing
“A Guy Thing” is definitely the movie that made the actor, Jason Lee be noticed to the general public. I personally watched him act in another movie “Kissing a Fool” and he was great, however I prefer best his interpretation of Paul Morse in the hilarious comedy “A Guy …
