Dead Leaves anime OVA
I’ve seen some terrible movies in my day. “Catwoman”, “Transformers 2″, “Turkish Star Wars” to name a few. I’ve seen movies so bad that I roll my eyes when people make fun of “Twilight”. Granted, I’ve only seen the first movie and it wasn’t particularly good …
Movie The Sixth Sense
M. Night Shyamalan is a driector of some strange movies. Yet when you see his films they are usually very good. I watched the movie starring Bruce Willis as Dr Malcom Crowe and Haley Osment as Cole Sear the little boy who see dead people.
Dr Malcom Crowe …

Oculus (horror movie)
I first saw the trailer for the movie Oculus when I had gone to see something else at the cinema. It looked promising at the time because it felt a little more different than the multitudes of supernatural horror movies that had come out during that period of time and …

The Shining (1980 Psychological Horror Film)
Horror is the one genre I try to avoid the most. Ever since I was young I always tell myself never to watch a horror film because all it does to me is scare me. And I don’t want to be scared. I don’t want to have trouble sleeping at …
Planet 51 Movie 2009
Normally I really enjoy kid’s movies, especially with high tech CGI animation. I didn’t know much about this one when I rented it, other than Gary Oldman was one of the voice actors, and he is one of my favorites. After watching the film I still do …
Valerie and her week of wonders movie
A strange film from Czechoslovakia by director Jaromil Jires. It involves young beautiful women, dark phantoms, evil forces and a whole lot of other things in a weird mixture. The film doesn’t have a constant narrative, it rather tries to invent a new way of telling a story with …
Watchmen
Watchmen, a very popular comic series by DC Comics has finally made its way to the movies. Shown in different countries worldwide, the movie became very sensational.
Characters:
Bringing to life the characters from the comic strip to the movies was quite good. Though I really do not like the skin …
Soul Survivors (movie)
When I came across the movie Soul Survivors in the Wal-mart clearance aisle, I had a faint memory of watching it at some point but couldn�t remember much about it. Normally, this tells me it isn�t a memorable movie, but because it was only $5 and had Eliza Dushku …
Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …
Dead Silence (R, 2007) movie
“Dead Silence” looks like it’s going to be corny and slow-moving. In some parts it certainly is. The plot revolves around the old legend of Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who had her tongue cut out by townspeople. Of course her ghost comes back and takes revenge. …
Underdog the Movie
Just imagine Lassie with super powers, Good Boy with manners and you get Underdog. If you loved watching movies featuring animals, then you probably already know how this movie will end. It was really painful to watch, and I had to endure it for a long time since I …
Cleo from 5 to 7 movie
A film directed by Agnes Varda and part of the french new wave in the early sixties that inspired a whole world of upcoming filmmakers back then. This story is about a young woman who gets to know she is pregnant and experiences the most hectic and emotionally intense …

Do you have so many toys that you do not know what to do with them when the time comes that you don’t want them anymore? Well, if you could watch this one great movie called Toy Story 3, you’ll have an idea what you could do with your …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
NYPD’s Lt. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is teamed up with Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) to try and take down the military minded madness simply known as Simon (Jeremy Irons). Simon enters the scene when news of bomb threats are announced, a decoy that he uses to throw focus …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer somehow manages to drain out the glamour and the pomposity - sometimes even the fantasy out of the Superhero World.
Rise of the Silver Surfer seems to suffer from sequel-itis - the narrative isn’t as exciting, the story isn’t impressive. There’s practically no …
The Glass House,2001 movie
A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …
Hours (thriller movie)
“Hours” is set in New Orleans, during the August 2005 hurricane Katrina. Once again, Paul Walker, our capable and very likeable action idol, delights his audience with another one of his absorbing thrillers. This time he personifies a rousing image of paternalistic dedication.
We first meet Nolan Hayes, characterised by …
Into the Wild (R, 2007) movie
This was one of the most touching films I have ever seen. But I will admit that while watching most of it, I thought: “Is this guy a dumb azz?” I am only saying this because despite his contempt for materialism, he seemed completely unprepared for …
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (movie)
There are some movie that just don’t interest me either because of what I’ve seen in the trailer and the reviews I’ve read about them make them seem ridiculous or something just doesn’t rub me right about them. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was one of those movies. When it …
Live Flesh movie
Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …
The Book of Eli
My son and I went to see the movie The Book of Eli and I have to say that, had I had any idea in advance how bad this movie was, I would never have paid the ticket price to go see it.
The …
Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
Double Indemnity (1944) starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck

Annabelle (horror movie)

Gattaca (movie)
The first time that I remember seeing the movie “Gattaca” was some years ago in about 2011. At the time I was a bit baffled because here was this science fiction movie with actors such as Ethan Hawke , Jude Law and Uma Thurman that was released in 1997, …
Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)
Eddie Murphy at his craft again, playing multiple characters like only he can. In this movie he plays a vampire who comes looking for love and finds it in the eyes of Angella Bassett, but, she isn’t having it, as a police officer she is sworn to uphold the …
D. C. Cab Movie
I had never seen the movie D.C. Cab until last night, when I was bored and had a chance to watch it on Netflix Instant watch.
You know what, I should have found a different movie.
Here’s a rule of thumb. If the movie’s biggest star is Mr. T, then it …

SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …
Four Brothers Mark Wahlberg
This is one of my favoite movies. I have always been a fan of Mark Wahlberg and he did an excellent job in this film. His tough exterior and gritty attitude was just what this movie needed. He and his other three brothers are on a mission to find …

Hunger Games - Catching Fire, movie
I am an avid reader and I love to go to movies of books that I have read. I have a really bad habit of saying “they got it wrong” throughout the entire movie. My husband is not a reader and goes to these movies with a different point …
Let Me In (movie)
“Let Me In” is another one of the movies that I watched recently. I remember seeing it advertising several times before my cable television went, but for some reason, I wasn’t very interested in seeing it. However, it was only after I read about it on someone’s blog where …

The Caveman’s Valentine movie
