A Charlie Brown Christmas
My favorite Christmas-themed movie is A Charlie Brown Christmas. I am a huge fan of Peanuts and all the characters in it. I think A Charlie Brown Christmas is so cute, and it is a classic Christmas movie. One of the best parts is that it …
The Bella Lugosi Collection dvd
Bela Lugosi movies are some of my favourite classical horror films. I got interested in them a few years ago along with a few other classical horror, suspense and science fiction films, but I was not able to find a suitable dvd which had a collection of some of …
Warlock movie
I found this movie a lot of fun. It seems to me a mixture of genres: a little bit fantasy with the magic, a little bit action with all the running around and a little bit horror with the bad guy killing people. The movie is well made and …
Movie : Couple’s Resort
Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. We went out the night before to celebrate but had some time yesterday morning before we had to pick up the kids so we decided to sit down and watch the DVD we’ve had a while, Couple’s Resort.
This movie turned out to be better …
Angels and Demons the Movie
I was really excited to watch this movie because of the trailer and because I was unable to finish that book. Instead of going through the pages again, I decided to watch this film instead.
First of all, the film is not dragging so it is a plus point for …
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. …
High School Musical movie
High School Musical is a film for teen. Nothing special is mentioned, there’s an audition for students in a high school to find out someone that will perform in high school musical. Main character is Gabriella, a smart girl and Troy, leader of school basketball team. Music make people …
The Bucket List (movie)
Two of my favorite actors in the same movie! The Bucket List stars Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter. Edward and Carter meet while in the hospital because both men are dying of cancer. Now the plot sounds pretty trite, but it is Jack Nicholson and …
Freaky Friday movie
I was used to watching Lindsay Lohan movies even when she was still young. I bought a copy of this movie because I wanted to see if it was a good one or not since the tandem of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis is a little fresh. I …
Caregiver by Sharon Cuneta
I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …
Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD
I saw the Inside Access Jeff Gordon DVD at the store and picked it up, thinking that it might be interesting. I’m not a fan of the racer, but I do think he’s talented and does some great things both on and off the track. I put it in …
Blue Valentine Movie
One of this year’s Oscar contenders, Blue Valentine tells the story of Cindy and Dean, a couple on
the verge of a divorce after a short but beautiful courtship. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams act
their hearts out in this tearjerker and really bring to life these characters along with their …
The Rebound movie
This movie stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a mother of two recently separated from her unfaithful husband.
This may contain spoilers. This movie really wasn’t about anything except a rebound who happens to be a younger man who is termed a boy because he doesn’t really know what he’s doing with …
Rambo, First Blood
I watched Rambo First Blood on video the other day and once again found myself enjoying a movie I’ve watched at least a dozen times before.
One of Sylvester Stallone’s best films ever, the movie is very well written and really makes you think about our Vietnam veterans and what …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Although both my parents are adamant that I watched this movie with them in the theater, my earliest memory of watching this movie was when I watched this on video at my cousin’s house when I was still a young child in the early nineties. I can’t remember thinking …
Igor (movie)
One of the animated movies that I was fortunate to watch earlier on this year was the movie “Igor”. To tell you the truth, I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it whenever it was first released not only because the trailer just didn’t interest me, but because …
From Paris With Love (2010) movie
Haven’t seen John Travolta take to the screen in a film that I have liked lately but this one was pretty entertaining. Nothing special just a good old fashion entertainment action film.
I do like the storyline it is quite interesting, with a twist I did not expect so …
Blade of the Vampire movie
This movie should not be confused with any of the movies in the Blade trilogy. In fact, that is how I actually watched it since I made the mistake of thinking that “Blade of the Vampire” was actually one of them. However, after watching it I was very disappointed …
Leap Year Movie
Hubby and I had a movie marathon last night. After watching a few depressing movies, we decided to watch Leap Year to lighten the mood a bit before going to sleep. I’ve always love Amy Adams’ movies but this one, I’m afraid is not one of them. This …
Movie Inglourious Basterds
After the underwhelming Kill Bill Vol. 2 and the shockingly poor Deathproof I had begun to think that Quentin Tarantino had forgotten how to make great movies. Where was the revolutionary, wunderkind director who changed the face of modern cinema?
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction seemed to be but memories …
See No Evil
See No Evil is one of my favorite bad horror movies. I’ve seen it several times on my own and recently introduced a friend to it, only to find out that he loved it as much as I did. The movie has one of those setups that you only …
The Great Debators
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, The Great Debators, starring Denzel Washington. This movie takes place during the Great Depression. It focuses on an all African American college. At this college there is a dedicated, rebellious professor, played by Denzel Washington. He teaches history, and runs …
A Little Princess
A Little Princess is a movie made in 1995 that stares Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron and Liam Cunningham. This is a family movie which has an exceptional sweet and sad story. It would be one of the all time best I have seen.
I really do consider this to be …
South Pacific movie
South Pacific is a classic 1959 musical that began as a stage play and which has been redone over the years. It’s a marvelous motion picture with outstanding cinematography, sensational musical numbers, and some superb acting. Let me say up front that this review includes a key …
Netflix.com
If you’re a movie lover but don’t enjoy the hassle of taking trips to the store, standing in line, and taking the movies back to the store to return them, I recommend signing up for a Netflix account. I joined just three short months ago and I LOVE …
Movie Home Alone 2
The 2nd installment of Home Alone, is in my opinion, the best. Kevin McAllister, after getting on the wrong plane, heading to New York, is separated from his family, who are headed to Florida for the holidays. While in New York Kevin uses his fathers credit cards and …
Enough starring Jennifer Lopez
“Enough” (2002) was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It had shades of Sleeping With the Enemy and Double Jeopardy, but stood out among the crowd. Jennifer Lopez stars as Slim, a woman who suffers physical abuse at the hands of …
Role Models
Role Models is the latest comedy starring Paul Rudd, who actually co wrote and produced the film. The movie is advertised as a comedy similar to 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, which also stars Paul Rudd, but it isn’t as funny as those other movies.
Paul Rudd and …
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 FBI Story movie
The FBI Story is a really wonderful movie starring James Stewart as a man who decides to become an FBI agent. He has high ideals and he wants to act on them. These are the early days of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and through Stewart’s character, …
Beauty and the Beast
Forever at the top in the world of animation, Disney broke even more ground with this lushly animated and wonderfully told new version of the classic french fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. So wonderous was this instant classic, that it was the first ever animated film to ever …
Toy Story 3 Movie (2010)
In all the toy story movies I have ever watched, this was the most emotional and dramatic ever! My first comment is - it’s not really for kids, they wouldn’t even understand half of what’s going on, second, it’s cartoons for adults, the jokes are for adults, the punchlines, …
Mysterious Skin (movie)
I generally love watching independent and foreign films, and it brings me great joy when I find a particularly enjoyable one especially after searching for some time. Mysterious Skin was one of those where I was also surprised that I didn’t hear much about it because a very popular …
Titanic (1997 movie)
One of the longest movies that I have ever watched. It’s a love story on a doom Ocean Liner. The movie Titanic, based on history as the largest ship ever built…it sank, and it killed alot of people, very very sad. That is not the focus of this…the focus …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …
Pineapple Express
Have you guys ever watched Pineapple Express before..? Well, I have and it is a nice comedy that I love watching pretty much. Don’t know why movies that star kind of dumb actors work really well. An example would be Jim Carey. In this case, the …
Movie Enchanted (2007)
Enchanted is a film that mixes the animated world of Disney with real life. The plot focuses on Giselle (Amy Adams), a girl who awaits her prince charming as any star of Disney characters. The Prince Edward (James Marsden) is responsible for fulfilling the dreams of the girl and …
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
Rollin’ Plains movie
Rollin’ Plains from 1938 is your traditional cow man versus the sheep man movie. This is something we’ve seen dozens, perhaps hundreds of times over the years, but back in ‘38 it wasn’t quite so old hat as yet.
The western was a musical one, featuring the singing cowboy …
Transformers Movie
I am sure that many of you ,as I, have watched in their childhood the Transformers on CN.I eagerly watched the movie a few days ago,and at the end I must say that I was very disappointed.Although the cartoon series was always “light-headed”,being meant for the children up course,i …
Wonder Woman - Superhero Movie (2017)
In the battle of DC vs Marvel, Marvel has come out on top due to the high quality of each film they make. DC has suffered with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad- two movies that had all the necessary hype surrounding it but didn’t …
Sweet Sixteen movie
A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …
Fight Club: Movie
Fight Club is a brilliant movie; I found its portrayal of a psychologically disturbed human being very interesting.
The storyline in itself is quite good, but you’re never quite sure of where it is going until a major twist is revealed towards the end. But even with this lack of …
Ghostbusters (2016 Comedy Movie)
Despite all the harshness and negativity surrounding the 2016 Ghostbusters remake, I was probably one of the few persons who actually couldn’t wait to see what it would be like. I was in a terrible mood when I ended up watching it fairly recently too, but you now what? When …
Dunston Checks In Movie
Dunston Checks In is not the kind of movie that I would typically watch. But just last weekend at a family gathering a family member popped in the DVD and there it was. To my surprise I loved the movie right from the first couple of minutes of watching. …
