The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …

A swedish documentary that focuses on a lot of things. Mainly it is a film about the human injustice of the world as it looks today, but it is also very philosophical and makes the viewer think about life as a whole. However, it isn’t what the film is …

Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …

Girl Positive movie
I’ve honestly never sat down to watch Lifetime movies before. But, after seeing the movie Girl Positive, I think I’ll be doing that more often.
At first, I didn’t know what to think about the movie, which is meant to be an honest portrayal of how the HIV virus can …
Edward Scissorhands (starring Johnny Depp)
Edward Scissorhands is a very heart-wrenching story that makes me cry buckets each time I watched. I just can’t get enough of Johnny Depp in this story and this is one of the best movies by him ever that I dubbed him one of the best actors. He totally deserves …

Trois 2: Pandora’s Box
Trois 2: Pandora’s Box (2002) was tragic; not in the sense that it was a tragedy, but that it was a TERRIBLE movie. It was one of the movies that is almost painful to watch. I found myself just shaking my head throughout the movie; that …
Champagne Charlie movie
About a man called Charles Heidsieck, a wealthy person who lived in the 19th century, who is famous for the fact that he introduced champagne in America. What I find awkward about this film is that it doesn’t focus on the champagne itself, or what it had as effects …

This mini-series was such a pleasure to watch. The story is based on a novel by George Eliot. The title character, Daniel, supposedly an illegitimate son of a wealthy English aristocrat, was raised like a gentleman. He is a well educated young man who has plenty of money, but …
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016 Drama-War Film)
At the beginning of the year, I immediately told my friends that my most anticipated 2016 film was Ang Lee’s new feature called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”. That didn’t changed until I found out the “Whiplash”-creator Damien Chazelle announced he has a new film coming out in December called …

One of the spookiest movies that we have ever seen was the original Exorcist. In this movie it hit on everything that would scare you.

Vacancy, Nimród Antal Movie
While heading the design credit for ‘Vacancy’, director Nimród Antal debut in the United States, it will remind Thriller classic Alfred Hitchkock in 1960, ‘Psycho’.

Highschool Musical 3 The Movie
Highschool Musical 3 The Movie
Highschool Musical is one of the movie I mostly waited. This movie ever since the movie hasn’t started I was sad because I know this is the last installment. Can we have a College Musical? Why do musical have to be in Highschool only?
When …
E.T., The Extraterrestrial
Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …

Who Shot Patakango? movie
From 1989, Who Shot Patakango? is a sort of odd coming of age movie about teenagers attending high school in Brooklyn, New York. The star of note was Sandra Bullock as Devlin Moran. Following are some thoughts on this production.
–I actually saw this movie years ago, but …
Zathura movie
I know this movie is a rip off of Jumanji and was therefore given a bad rating, but in all honesty this was actually a pretty good movie. It is especially great for kids witht the exception that the younger brother calls his sibling a dick. This …
Titanic
The movie Titanic when it came out was a force to be reckoned with. I was about fifteen and all the girls at my school were going nuts over it. They even went to see it over eight times.

Spawning from single celled organisms, comes and laugh out load, side splitting adventure to save the world. There are so many movies about the end of the world as …
Interview with a Vampire (Movie)
Interview with a vampire is my favorite vampire movie of all time. It shows a kind of vampire that I feel has been pushed to the wayside in this generation. I think this is mainly because vampires are either made to be really disgusting monsters (like in Dracula or …
Cloud Atlas movie
To be completely honest before I had watched this movie the trailer was so disappointing that I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I just happened to want to watch a movie and came across it. However this was one of those movies that just really got to me. …
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
“Star Trek: Generations” is, in my opinion, the best of the Star Trek movies. I love the way it blended the cast of the original series with that of Star Trek: The Next Generation, even though they were 78 years apart in time. The way they did this was …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …
License to Wed
For a while, comedian Robin Williams pretty much just slipped off the face of the Earth. Whenever he did have a good movie, it was more of a drama than an actual comedy. But, recently, he seems to have found himself again. First, there was RV, which turned out …
Disaster Movie
Disaster Movie almost turned out to be a disaster for me. My husband and I rented it the other night. I usually don’t really like spoof movies because I think they are dumb and a waist of time but my husband wanted to see it so I gave in. …
Prince of Persia (2010)
I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …
War of the Worlds (Movie 2005)
This is an interesting film to watch for the first time as you just want to see the outcome. To want to watch this movie more than once is strictly an individual experience, as I found that it does not have what it takes to hold me glued to …

Superman Returns
At last, someone returns to the heart and soul of the original Superman of 1978, with minor improvements to special effects and setting. This movie could not have been made as is back in 1978. It is a Superman for this generation and I am pleased with its arrival. …
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds. It is a movie about a group of American soldiers, comprised mainly of Jewish-Americans, that goes off to Nazi-occupied France during World War II and …
Legend of the Red Dragon-Jet Li

A number of actors / actress willing stage to change significantly for the physical demands a certain role want a certain physical condition. Tom Hanks for example, had to be thin body for the role as AIDS sufferer in Philadelpia. Likewise, Hilary Swank for the movie Boys Do not …
Film Some Kind of Wonderful
Viewed by many as a gender switched redo of John Hughes and Howard Deutch previous collaboration Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful is so much more than this and it is a kind of unfair label.
The stories and characters are much different. Whereas, Pretty in Pink focused on …
My Life movie

While all of the “X-Men” films have been great, and entertaining to watch as well, the latest 2011 film, “X-Men: First Class” really just tops the cake. To be able to see Magneto and Professor X along with Mystique and a few other mutants we all have gotten to …

Lets Be Cops (movie)
I’m one of those people who strongly believe that it is possible to tell when a movie is not going to be very good. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “Lets Be Cops” for the first time, I knew it was going to be one of …
The Eleventh Hour Environment Movie
While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …
