“Men who hate women” movie
Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …
Batman Forever 1995 Movie
This version of Batman was correctly named. Batman Forever. It should have been forgotten Forever. Because this was the worst of all the current Batman movies to come out in the last 20 to 30 years. It was released in 1995 and never should have left the drawing board. …
Waking Life (R, 2002)
This movie really seemed strange when I first read about it on Netflix. But then a friend rented it and I was so excited about the animation, and how the conversations just flowed from scene to scene. I would advise most people to refrain from engaging …

Hot Rod (the movie)
Hot Rod is surprisingly hilarious! I thought this would be a dull humor flick, but I found myself laughing through 90% of the movie. Its a comedy about a 20 something year old guy living with his mom and stepdad aspiring to be a stunt man. …
Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
Halloween 2
My wife and I saw the first Halloween re-make when it came out and wanted to see the sequel to it. We got a chance to do that last night.
While a decent movie, I can honestly say it didn’t live up to the first one.
I liked the fact they …
Movie Curse of the Devil 1972
Why would you make a werewolf movie with a title that evokes an Exorcist rip-off?
More Waldemar the Werewolf fun has Paul Naschy once again donning the furry costume to bring mayhem on the villagers. Only this time, it is a pretty tired exercise that misses the fun and wacky …
The Blind Side-Movie
I anticipated that as soon as The Blind Side was available on DVD that it would be my goal to see it right away, and I did this past weekend. Just the previews and trailers alone made me cry, so I knew it would be a very heart-warming movie. …

Catch Me if you Can movie
When I first saw the movie “Catch Me if you Can” advertising to be released in theatres I wanted to watch it because of two major reasons. One was because it was the first in a long time I was seeing the actor Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie and …
Columbia House DVD
I signed up with Columbia House DVD. I got a certain number of DVDs for I believe, 99 cents each with the requirement that I purchase 4 DVDs at regular price in the next 2 years. I didn’t think that would be a problems. However, everytime I went in …
Johnny Dangerously movie
An honest and decent man is forced into criminality when his mother is having a severe disease, and he sees no other way out.
This is supposed to be some kind of comedy, but with the exceptions of a few scenes where Michael Keaton is absolutely brilliant, I didn’t think …
Love and Other Disasters
Brittany Murphy is cute, very cute, and from what I can see that is one of the driving forces of Love and Other Disasters.
This movie is a romantic comedy which appears to desperately want to be different yet is stuck with every cliche you can think of, from the …
Movie The Promotion
This movie was a great character sketch of two guys going after the same promotion at a grocery store. The humor was fantastic; I love the kind of humor where a joke starts at the beginning of the movie and it plays throughout the movie in unexpected places. The …

Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …

I find horror movies interesting to watch. I cannot watch it when I am alone. Last week me and my friend went to the mall and saw this movie Drag me to Hell was being showed in the movie theaters. The movie is very horrifying and we screamed at …
The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
Following the happenings of Pitch Black, this movie continues the tale of Riddick, a criminal and killer the likes the universe is not ready for. The short stop on the dark planet that gave us an inside look of what Riddick is capable of is only a glimpse into …

Mirrors movie
Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …
42, movie (2013)
Stories of the underestimated seem to resonate with us as a culture. When we see an underdog overcome great challenges before them, it becomes a story that becomes personal for any individual. Film has presented this archetype since its creation. Rocky, Forrest Gump, and the Mighty …
Herbie Fully Loaded
Growing up, I was a die hard Herbie fan. So, when they made another Herbie movie, starring Lindsay Lohan, I had to watch it because… it was Herbie!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much. I thought they would probably deviate too far from the original genius of the …

Hairspray is a warm fuzzy type of movie. The musical style gives it a lot of fun complete with dancing. On top of that there is a great story and a very happy ending. It is a movie that has it all. John Travolta plays the heavyset mom, which …

The Wedding Crashers it a great movie! This movie was just great. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaugn did a great job of acting in this movie. I really liked the basic storyline. The Wedding Crashers is very funny because these two guys go around looking for girls at weddings they …

After waiting for one long year, the third (and last?) part of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy finally arrived. My daughter and I both attended an opening night show. We thought it was great! The effects, as was the case in the first two movies, …

Terry Tate Office Line Backer
I was watching youtube at one time because I got curious about the fact some people mentioned the name Terry Tate and it sounded laughter to me. So purposely looked for him over youtube and I got their point. Terry Tate is another fictional character (played by Mighty …
The Bank Job (2007 version)
Who ever said that the movie, “The Bank Job” directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens is a good movie, well he/she doesn’t know what they are talking about. This supposed to be dramatic movie has a good story, but the end result is really horrible due to the way …
The Night Listener
I’m not really sure why but whenever Robin Williams is in a drama, I just can’t take him seriously. The Night Listener was the perfect example of this.
I made a serious effort to watch this movie last night and, though I tried, I just couldn�t get into it. It …
Sally and Saint Anne movie
This is a wonderful movie about faith and belief, Sally O’Moyne style. Ann Blyth plays Sally, a Catholic teenager who believes in Saint Anne so much that she prays to her for everything. Amazingly, a lot of things begin to happen for Sally when she prays to …
Moulin Rouge movie
I bought this film the day it came out on video, and for good reason: it’s spectacular. One of the songs in the film is entitled “Spectacular Spectacular,” which pretty much sums up the entire movie. From start to finish this film is brilliant - from the light to …
Superman, The Movie
Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …
Click
I actually enjoyed this movie. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember it. I love Adam Sandler. In this movie he gets a remote and uses that remote to get ahead. There are some twists which I won’t give away. It is an enjoyable movie for …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …

The Woman In Black Movie
It is always nice for me to remind myself of the classical English works, especially those who have a slight horror twist. But even better is for the reader, such as myself, to see everything on the screen where the images from the book come to life , and …
