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. …
Mean Girls
Mean Girls is one of Lindsay Lohan movie. It’s a drama comedy movie tells about the teenage life, high svhool, and friendship. I like kind a moviee like that because it can inspired me and give me a lesson about friendship because for me friendship is important.
The story of …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is a feel good movie that never fails to bring on smiles and feelings of delight. It’s the theatrical movie that set Patrick Swayze’s stardom on fire and gave us the line, “No one puts Baby in a corner”.
Frankly, I’ve never liked that line and I …
Movie Juanna Mann
I used to hear my friends in high school talking about the movie Juanna Mann a lot and how hilarious it was, but I didn’t know what they were talking about until it premiered on comedy central one Saturday. I was so used to my frieneds telling me how …
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. Biollante is a movie that I highly recommend to Godzilla fans or monster movies fans in general. Godzilla looks incredible in this movie. He actually looks real and very evil, and his original 1954 roar is used in this movie, which is very fitting and it sounds …
The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)
One of my favorite Christmas films of all time is the 1992 “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. I was a fan of the Muppets as a child and seeing them in a film playing out the roles that I know all too well of the Christmas Carol was really wonderful. …
Dogtooth (2009 film)
“Dogtooth” is a masterpiece of the weird. This Greek art house film, a winner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, simply kept me glued to the screen for about one hour and a half and left me with a million questions.
I found the atmosphere of the film …
Hannibal Rising
This film is a prequel to Red Dragon, Silence Of The Lambs, and Hannibal, based on the book by Thomas Harris. The film starts slow, and never picks up the pace, focusing all on a young Hannibal in his teens living with his aunt. The movie is full of …
Tattoed Life movie
This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …
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 …
Blood of the Beasts movie
This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …

Warren Haynes is a member of the …
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I didn’t have very high hopes in this movie so my expectations were very low. I didn’t think it would be possible to be any worse than I had imagined, BUT, I was wrong. First off, the movie is never scary to me. A man in …
Movie The Terminal
I read so much good reviews about this romantic movie that ended up with very high expectations while watching. While I must admit that Tom Hanks is simply great, this movie cannot be classified with a great romantic ending.It seems that even the director of this movie Spielberg was …
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
I watched Hollywood Homicide on DVD with a friend. When we were through, the following conversation took place:
Friend: “Harrison Ford’s been in a lot of good movies, but…”
Me: “…this wasn’t one of them.”
This is a cop/buddy movie, starring Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett. I really wanted to like this …

The In-Laws (2003)
This movie is yet another disgrace of a movie, even though it stars some very decent actors, the movie just did not live up to the hype that was created around it and once again, we have a hit and miss coming out of the studios of the fames …
Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
Wedding Crashers (starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn)
Wedding Crashers is a total amazing movie story featuring 2 great actors, naming Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn and in this story, they are two best friends whom are just make a guess? Yes, wedding crashers.

Stick It the Movie
I recently had the chance to watch the movie, Stick It. I really was not expecting it to be good at all, my little sisters are the ones that wanted to watch it being fans of the sport of gymnastics.
At first I thought the movie started out …
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club remains, to this day, my favorite teen movie, and one of my favorite films overall. Simply put, it’s a classic. John Hughes manages to define his five principal characters as much more than the simple stereotypes presented in most teenage driven movies, while, at the same …
Bad News Bears movie
When I was growing up, the Bad News Bears movies were very popular. So, when the remake came out staring Billy Bob Thorton, I was skeptical.
However, after watching it for the first time, I have to admit it was actually entertaining and some parts of the film were actually …
Happy feet movie
I first watched this movie was on dvd with my little cousins. It was quite interesting with the nice dancing and singing. The storyline was pretty good. One thing I didn’t really understand was how Mumble, the main penguin went back his own specific colony of penguins, but I …
13 Ghosts (movie)
13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until…yeah, that’s the clencher…until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here …
Brokeback Mountain Movie
Because I was not impressed with the movie, “Brokeback Mountain,” I have to rely on the line from Seinfeld whenever I discuss this allegedly “gay cowboy” movie. So, my first order of business is to clarify that I realize that gay cowboys exist and then I am compelled …
The Movie Atlantis The Lost Empire
I have personally always liked the story of Atlantis. The idea of such a city is an intriguing one and its one that has been told for generations. When Disney came out with Atlantis I was really curious to see how good it would be. The trailer …
Goldfinger movie
My absolute favorite among all the 007 films also ranks among the best thrillers ever made. This time James Bond takes on the villain Goldfinger and his colorful korean servant Oddjob who plan to steal the whole american federal gold reserve in Fort Knox. it is also the first …
Get Christie Love! movie
In 1974, viewers were presented with the very unique movie, Get Christie Love! The main character, a police lieutenant named Christie Love, was played by Teresa Graves, who might actually be remembered for her comedy input as a regular on Laugh-In.
In reality, this movie which did turn into …

A werewolf movie from the 1980s that has been very popular among horror fans. The story is about some people getting killed in a small american town for mysterious reasons. A reported goes there to investigate, and ends up facing the whole population - all as blood-thirsty werewolfs. This …
Bubble movie
“Bubble” is directed by Stephen Soderbergh. Soderbergh is the brillian mind behind such films as “Sex, Lies and Videotapes” and “Traffic”. Whats sad about this is that “Bubble” Is terrible. I’m not sure how a great director can go from hollywood blockbusters to bombing …
Little Miss Sunshine movie
When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew it fit my sense of humor - somewhat dark but also a little bit slapstick. All the film’s actors turn in excellent performances, but Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, and Steve Carell are especially strong in their respective roles …
Bug
I really get the wrong idea when I first watch Bug. I thought it is some kind of a horror movie or something, but when in the end I realized that this story is something like the genre of ‘art movie’, displaying about life, people and their characters, …

Bedtime Stories comedy
Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, is an enjoyable family oriented comedy. It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s one you feel fairly safe watching with your kids. There is some very mild bad language, but it’s pretty tame even for its PG rating. My one biggest complaint (Spoiler alert) …
The Women (Movie)
This is a very nice movie and when I watched this I was reminded by Sex and the City, but the girls here are much laid-back and more conservative and more professional and laid-back than the cast of Sex and the City, but they aren’t necessarily boring.
The movie features …
Have You Seen My Son movie
From 1996, Lisa Hartman Black produced and starred in Have You Seen My Son, a movie about parental child abduction. Her co-star was the handsome Jameson Parker who plays good guys with charm and bad guys with aloofness. Here, he was aloof and maybe still a little …

My husband and I are big fans of Liam Neeson movies and since my husband likes Family Guy and Seth McFarlane, we decided that we would treat ourselves to see the newest movie “A Million Ways to Die in The West”. I had hoped that it would be …
Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
Anything Bogie steps into is going to come out shining like the North Star. …

One Hour Photo movie
One Hour Photo with Robin Williams.
I am sorry to say that this was the worst Robin Williams movie ever. Why take a great comedic actor and put him in a detestable role of obsessed evil? This is a case in which the story …
Transporter 3
I been watching the Transporter series for quite a while already. I was clearly impressed on how cool was the “Frank Martin” character.
In this third series, it involves Frank transporting a kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. Clearly for a start, I had difficulties catching up on …

I am a fan of international movies, so when I saw this movie called The Raid Redemption, I immediately looked it up in Youtube to look at the trailer. I liked it, and then proceeded to watch the movie. This movie stars Indonesian actors and was written and produced …

Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief : A Movie
Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief movie adaptation is one of the most interesting movie I have watched to date. I am a mythology fan and being able to see mythology merge with the modern world is a superb treat for me.
