What happens when a negative man who feels as though God is out to get him gets the power of God and must therefore do God’s job? The 2003 comedy “Bruce Almighty” happened. This film was funny and very insightful to how much we can sometimes make situations all …
Carrie (2013 movie)
Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …

Film Terminator Salvation
More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …
12 Years A Slave (Movie 2013)
“12 Years A Slave” is a 2013 Biography, drama and history movie directed by Steve McQueen. I found the title of this movie to be very attractive making me imagine about some kind of slavery story. I didn’t recognized any of the main actors in the movie except Brad …

Movie In The Mix 2005

Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives

The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …

Save the Last Dance
I don’t see much interracial romantic movies so when this movie came out, I decided to watch it. Plus the fact that it stars Julia Stiles who I like so much because of the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (with Heath Ledger). Directed by Thomas Carter, Save …
Bayaning 3rd World
I have seen in a film viewing a movie whose attempt is to fully make its viewer understand not only the life and works of Rizal, a Philippine National Hero, but also to people who watches the movie how difficult it was to make a movie out of a …

A film about the controversial english author and poet Oscar Wilde who had to flee his home country when he openly declared himself as a homosexual. Stephen Fry is absolutely perfect as the exceedingly clever Wilde, and the rest of the cast is also impressive, especially Jude Law. One …
The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …

Wild Wild West
This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.
It’s shocking that this was …
The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …

The Village.

Movie Ruby
Ruby is a very spooky and very demonic movie. If you get scared easily, then it’s better that you don’t watch Ruby. Ruby is about spirit mediums and demon possesion. It’s a very dark and sinister type of film. Another thing about it, is that it’s a very old movie …
Just Like Heaven
This DVD movie, Just Like Heaven is awesome!! I love modern ghost stories like this, but in a twisted romantic comedy sort of way. Want to know why? There are already enough depressions in this world, so watching a romantic comedy gets thumbs-up first from me anytime …

Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …
Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …

The Great Waldo Pepper movie
George Roy Hill works well with Robert Redford, including in this 1975 production, The Great Waldo Pepper. This movie is a little strange and sort of warpy. I really don’t know how to describe it. It’s dramatic and fun, but it’s not mainstream in many ways. …
