Click movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.
This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …

Crank, Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor Movie
The film in the form of actual action it is my opinion after watching Crank, Jason Statham movies. How not? During the 88 minutes duration movie spectators have given the treat of action for the action scenes without stopping, sooner and actually pumping adrenalin. There is no pretense in …
Alive movie

Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …
The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …

My Best Friend’s Girl movie
My Best Friend’s Girl from 2008 is a disaster. The only reason I watched this thing was because I noticed a listing in the credits for Patrick Swayze that referred to this movie. He was given ’special thanks’ along with a few other performers. I knew …

Clue
I was flipping channels last night and came across a movie classic; Clue.
I rarely meet other people who enjoy this movie as much as I do; which is too bad considering I could watch this film 100 times in a row and never get tired of it.
What’s not to …
A View to a Kill movie
In what would be Roger Moore’s last appearance as agent 007 James Bond (he was MORE than 50 years old here by the way) he’s confronted with perhaps the most colorful villain ever. He’s played by the excellent actor Christopher Walken and, obviously, is threatening to take over the …

My Bloody Valentine 3D
Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully.

Chloe (movie)
“Chloe” was a movie that I wanted to see ever since I saw the trailer back in 2009. I realised that the plot had the potential to be similar to a couple of those that I had seen in the past, and so I watching it wasn’t a very …
Twilight: The Movie
I have mixed feelings about Twilight: The Movie. I can’t believe, first of all, how many GOOD reviews it has gotten. At the beginning it was just slow and painful to watch. I was the one to drag my fiance to go see it and I was the one …
The Curse of the Wear Rabbit
The Curse of The Wear Rabbit seem to amaze me when it comes to special effects. I like how they made the clays to move in the scenes as if they were real. I like how they made the clay models seem to be living. I also like how …

As you can most likely guess from the title, this is a review of the movie Beowulf & Grendel. This movie is a couple of years old, however I decided to try it out after seeing the absolutely disastrous Beowulf movie which just recently came out in theaters. …
Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …

First Knight movie
“First Knight” is the movie where we see Richard Gere with a sword. This movie floored a lot of women as Gere’s impersonation of a Knight is not something we see everyday and definitely not something to ignore easily! Another handsome man in this movie is Sean Connery. His …
A Christmas Carol movie

The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
War of the Worlds 2 Movie
