James & the Giant Peach
OK, I finally got a chance to watch the movie James & the Giant Peach. Wow, what a dull piece of garbage.
Personally, if I would have been the star of this film, it would have been called something like Steve & the Giant Can of Raid. I’m sorry, but …
Star Wars movie
Quite honestly, I was a huge hold out to the entire Star Wars thing. The 1977 movie had been out for months, close to a year I believe, before I finally caved in and went to see it. By then, seats were plentiful. I must admit …
Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
Virtuosity movie
The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is a very funny show indeed. If you have not yet watch this, I highly recommend. I will always love Garfield. He is just so, so funny. And especially a good watch with the voice-over by Bill Murray.
You …
Superman Returns:The Movie
Superman has always been my very favorite superhero, and this movie I think is the best rendition of him. It shows him in a light that makes him almost human, but at the same time super-human. It also shows how it all began, and then how he returned (hence …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
The Wizard of Oz

Lakeview Terrace (PG-13, 2008) movie
I watched this movie merely because I wanted to hear Samuel Jackson yell. Dave Chappelle was right on the money when he made fun of the way this actor yells at the the other characters in films. Sam was his usual great self …
The Internship (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was a comedy named “The Internship” starring the popular comedy actors Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. While I didn’t think that it was the funniest movie that I had seen recently, I still thought that it was interesting and light-hearted …
The Simpsons Movie
I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …
Three Kings (1999)

Rob Zombie’s Halloween
Do you remember when you went trick or treating and got something good in your pumpkin? Like a full size Snickers or Reese peanut butter cup? Well Rob Zombie’s latest Halloween is more like a stick of cheap gum - the sweetness only lasts for so long. …

The Benchwarmers
What do you get when there are combination acting by Jon Heder, Rob Schneider and David Spade? You get total hilarious and out of this world type of laughs.
Perhaps there are people thinking that this is a dumb movie but I really love this when it was …
A Very Special Love starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo
Last 2008, my girlfriend asked me to take her to watch another feel-good love story starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Good. As I have posted in my previous reviews, I am a no fan of these kind of movies especially Filipino films.
The film was about Sarah Geronimo …

When my husband and I joined Netflix last month, we thought it was going to be great. We chose a plan in which we can rent unlimited movies per month, but we can only get two at a time. Well, we found out pretty quickly that this is how …
Interstellar, movie
As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …
Netflix Online
It’s time to put Blockbuster behind us.
Here’s why:
Selection. It doesn’t matter whether you like horror, comedy, romance, or history movies– Netflix has it all.
The price is reasonable. You know how much it costs to rent a movie at your local store, it’s outrageous. If you watch more than four …

Wrong Turn
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve watched the movie Wrong Turn. In fact, I can’t remember for sure, but I might even have written a review about it. But, I just have to say, every time I watch that film, I can�t get over how stupid it is.
Here …

Havoc (R, 2005) movie
Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …

Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …

The Doomsday Flight is a movie I’ve never forgotten. I used to see it on late night television, way back before cable was even thought of. It was dramatic and even scary to me. When eBay became the big thing, I searched for it and finally …
Bring It On
I really enjoyed this movie about teenage cheerleaders and the competition they enter to be in a music video. While the movie may seem to be about cheerleading and winning, the story also has a great heart about friendship.
The cheerleading moves in this movie are amazing. I have …
The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.

Movie Predator
There is this movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger long before he became the Governer of California, it was called the Predator.
This movie is thrilling and exciting. Arnold stars as asoldier of fortune who is assigned with his elite force to seek out a lost group of soldiers. He finds …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …
Movie Anger Management
If you want to watch a good movie and forget about any stress you may have, well don’t choose to watch “Anger Management”. This is an incredible hiliarious movie with the actors, Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson at their best in opposite roles. I believe that if you are …
