American Sniper - Movie (2014)
Movies dealing with war are usually not my cup of tea but after watching ‘American Sniper’ with friends, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. This was more than just a war movie, this was a movie that explored the intricacies of a man struggling to balance his personal …
Transformer : Their War Our World Movie
At the beginning I did not interested watching this kind of movie. It was my hobby when I was a kid, so it might be a little bit funny if I want to see the robot movie. Time to time, I also knew that there were many robot movie …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
The Count of Monte Cristo,2002 Movie
The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. Apart from the book, this movie is decent. If you have not read the novel by Alexander Dumas and are not familiar with the story, you will probably enjoy it. However, the fans of the book will just shake their heads. The story …
Spiderman 3 Movie

The Matrix
The Matrix is one of the best movie I have seen in my entire life. The storyline is just awesome. And the acting is just great. My favorite character would of course have to be Neo. The whole concept of The Matrix just blew me away. I was so impressed …

Captain Fantastic (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
This year is the year of surprises for me. I have expected many films to be great, such as Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and they end up not matching my expectations. However, films such as Sing Street, Swiss Army Man, Hunt for the …
Obsessed
I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch the movie “Obsessed” this past weekend. But, my wife wanted to see it and it was her birthday.
It turned out to be an OK film.
It is actually similar to many other films I’ve seen. You have a successful black guy who is …
Past the Bleachers
Past the Bleachers is a poignant and wonderful 1995 TV movie that starred Richard Dean Anderson and Glynnis O’Connor as parents trying to move on with their lives after their son had died. It’s a trying time. The two are trying to have another baby, but Anderson’s …
Pride and Glory movie
—˜Pride and Glory’ is the drama movie that puts together the great acting talents of two young Hollywood actors such as Edward Norton and Colin Farrell. As expected this movie delivers the goodies, with a great acting team, great script and director. The result is a movie that will …
Chronicle Movie
“Chronicle” is a very encouraging type of film; especially, during its beginning scenes. It is light and witty. The film is presented in a very one-sided angle—”so to speak. The audience witnesses: shots taken by the film’s character in way of his digital camera …
27 Dresses
27 Dresses was a chick flick starring Katherine Heigel and James Marsden. I never saw it when it was playing in the theaters, but I did see it was it was released and I thought it was really cute. Heigel plays a woman who takes the idea of “always …

“Deadly Grace” is quite a fast paced thriller.
FBI agent, Alex Cruz has been sent to talk to a Person of Interest in a double homicide in England. The Person of Interest is Jillian Meade in a small town in Minnesota.
When Alex arrives, he finds Jillian in …
DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …
Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …

The Fox and the Hound 2 DVD
The Fox and the Hound 2 is one of my favorite movies. It’s a super story, with great music, and my favorite, Patrick Swayze, voicing one of the main characters. I fell in love with the animated film when I saw it, and I’m so glad that …
Blue Jasmine: A Movie
A few nights ago, my husband and I were watching television when he stumbled across Blue Jasmine on HBO. I had never seen it before, but he had seen it and thought that I would like it. I can’t claim to be a huge Cate Blanchet fan, but I …
Columbiana Movie
I just saw the Columbiana movie last night. This is a revenge-driven movie that stars Zoe Saldana. The movie centers into the life of a child that has been corrupted because of a traumatic experience she experienced when she was still a child. Her father was involved in a …
Movie Independence Day (1996)
Independence Day is one of my all-time favorite films. Some of my favorite actors are in this movie, including Jeff Goldblum - who, as usual, plays a highly intelligent guy with answers to very important questions - and Will Smith who adds an incredible amount of action to the …
Katt Williams’ Pimp Chronicles (R, 2006) movie
When the “film”begins, we see this tiny little pimp draped in a huge white fur coat and hat. Underneath, it appears that the little fella is wearing some kind of green velvet jacket and matching green striped shirt. He is also adorned with an assortment of …
The Heiress
There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016 Film)
The most awaited new addition to the X-men movies finally came out, the X-men Apocalypse. It was released in the US last May 27, 2016. The movie was directed by the famous director, Bryan Singer. He also directed the previous X-men movies like the X-men: First Class and X-men: Days …
Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
This is a tough one. Bright cast, and comedy done in the style of Mel Brooks’ comedy, prevalent during the 70s, this film showed great promise. But for me, while quaint, this film did not deliver on it’s character expectations.
The story centers around Segerson Holmes, jealous older brother of …
The Happening (2008 Film)
The 2008 film, “The Happening”, staring Mark Wahlberg, Zoe Deschanel and John Leguizamo was a film that while as unrealistic as it could be, was strangely entertaining and a little bit frightening. This film portrayed the world as it would be if chaos struck, and when I mean chaos …
Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
Rocky II
Rocky II is the rematch between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. The movie begins by showing the ending of the first movie. This is done throughout the Rocky movies (the first five) and was a great idea to do.
Shortly after the movie starts, Rocky and …
Twilight The Movie
Quote: “Saying Twilight is good because it’s popular would be like saying Herpes is good because a lot of people have it.”
First of all, bad acting, the movie seemed rushed and the characters didn’t seem like they were in character. I was waiting for someone to say…”just kidding!”
Edward seemed …
My Fair Lady
1964’s My Fair Lady is definitely a movie classic. It’s a musical that continues to touch those who view it. It’s well made and excellently portrayed.
Rex Harrison stars as Professor Henry Higgens, with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle. One must wonder if the picture would have …
How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010)
This movie is perfect for kids because it’s in 3D and it features dragons of all sizes and shapes, it also shows how to “train” and “educate” your dragon, be it as dangerous as they are in real life but this is cartoons, so the kids loved watching it. …
Bambi (movie)
The animated animals are the focal point of this tale of a little fawn who grows to be a great prince of the forest. Growing with him are Thumper, a rabbit who tends to speak before thinking, and Flower, the shy skunk. Alongside this trio are a score of …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
LOTR Trilogy
The Lord of The Rings trilogy was probably the greatest story ever told that managed to reach the grand stage of the movie theater. I just love the way this movie was put together, from the scenery all the way to how perfectly the roles were assigned to just …
Iron Man
At first I said to myself…”This movie is gay”, but then i recived some tickets to the cinema, so i went to see it…I was amazed. I don’t know if the cinema ambiance or the movie itself gave me this impression but I think this is THE BEST movie …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …
Hitman (2007)
Timothy Olyphant plays the character of a “Hitman” who goes by the name “Agent 47″. Ok, here is the thing about this movie/game made into a movie…for people who like a good action, adventure, mystery, suspense, drama/romance thrown in here and there or even an on the edge of …
Little Buddha movie
A film by Bernardo Bertolucci who is mostly known for his giant epic Novecento. This is one of his latest films and tells the story of Siddaharta who goes through a spiritual journey to finally become Buddha. It seems to me Bertolucci isn’t any longer the talented filmmaker he …
Cold Storage movie 2006
I rented the movie Cold Storage because I am a fan of horror films. Even the bad ones can sometimes yield some humor so I rarely bother to read reviews before I choose them. This film was made in 2006 and set in Tennessee. I will start by …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
9 To 5
At the heart of this movie is a sexist jerk of a boss, played by Dabney Coleman. The soul of the story is divided into three: Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton (her first film), and Jane Fonda. Lily is the office manager, Dolly the creepy boss’ secretary, and Jane is …
High Crimes movie
As a person who loves both courtroom dramas and military movies, High Crimes is the perfect film for me because it gives me a good combination of both.
Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd play attorneys who are attempting to free Judd’s husband from prison after the military calls him a …
Monster-In-Law movie
Monster-In-Law is a super cute movie about a meddling mother who will not let her son marry the girl that he loves (or any girl he wants to be with, for that matter). Jane Fonda plays the mom and her son is Kevin. Jennifer Lopez is so cute and …
Wildcats movie
Goldie Hawn stars in Wildcats as a football coach, something that is definitely unusual and which presents her with a lot of challenges. She knows football, but her knowledge doesn’t buy her the trust and belief of anyone, including her team. She has to work hard to …
Sherek The Third
Sherek does’nt want to wear his father in laws’s crown, so in order to avoid becoming king of Far,Far away, he leads a rebellion to install an alternative. The movie is about 95 minutes long, ad to that some 15 minutes of other movies preview. I like the …
Pocahontas
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Pocahontas. Back in the early nineties, there were a lot of good Disney movies being made. Pocahontas was one of them. Everyone knows the story of Pocahontas. A group of sailors under the command of Ratcliffe enter the land of the natives and …
Hulk movie
“Hulk” is a 2003 movie about the Incredible Hulk, not to be confused with the far superior ‘re-boot’ called “The Incredible Hulk” released in 2008. The “Hulk” stars Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly, as well as Nick Nolte in a ridiculous role as the main villian.
Pros: This …
