The Brother From Another Planet
If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.

A couple of months ago I watched a trailer of the movie Elysium. My first expressions were «WOW. That is a must-watch movie». It was full of superb special effects, action and some new idea.

This movie takes place shortly after the first one and puts together a …
Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD
The Discovery Channel has presented a program called “A Haunting,” in which real people present their real-life ghost stories. These stories are very intriguing, and fairly scary - that is, if you believe in that sort of thing. I happen to believe in many elements …

The Bucket List
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …
Sleeping Beauty Disney 2-Disc DVD
Recently, Disney released their classic “Sleeping Beauty” on DVD. It’s a 2-disc version, with some great fun bonus features, and (of course) the movie.

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman movie (2005)
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman is one my favorite movies from the Director Tyler Perry. I personally consider it to be one of his classics and better written stories. Compared to some of his latest films, this one is actually gripping because the storyline is true and happens to …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, is a decent bond film, but nothing like the originals, and pales in comparison to the previous bond film. This movie does have action, however, it is a darker and more serious bond. The story is mediocre, and mostly involves Bond getting over what happened in …

48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …

Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.

The Fox and the Hound 2 movie

Howl’s Moving Castle (Movie 2004)
Howl’s Moving Castle is one of the most romantic, magical and amusing movies that Studio Ghibli has produced. I was in my grade school years when I first watched Howl’s Moving Castle and I never really understood what the whole story was about. Now, several years later (I’m already …
A Cinderella Story

Kwaidan is an episode film following four different horror stories. The director is Masaki Kobayashi, and here he gets to prove what he could do with color film. This might well be the most visually stunning piece of cinema I have ever experienced. Not only is the depth and …
Mona Lisa Smile
I have always thought Julia Roberts acting to be very influential and contagious, in a positive way. And in Mona Lisa Smile, she suits the role that she played as a teacher in a college and the time era was during the early 1900s. My 2 favorite actresses; …

“Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides” (2011 Film)
I can honestly say that the fourth film of the “Pirates of Carribean” series worried me. The first three films were remarkably casted, well laid out, and left me laughing and one the edge of my seat with suspence. However, after seeing the fourth film in theaters, “Pirates of …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
The Dark Knight
After the 90s came and went and the Batman movie series continued its steady decline at the dismay of true fans, I figured I might as well forget seeing a better Batman than Michael Keaton, a better villain than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, or a better director than …
Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …

The Prince & Me
When the Prince & Me came out on DVD, I avoided it. But, when it showed up on cable, my wife forced me to watch it. What a cheesy film.
