Good Night And Good Luck movie
An abundant of people denounce against movies since they judge that films are just made for entertainment and they spoil a child’s mind. I oppose this thought since many films today are educational which teach us history from over hundreds of years ago. Good Night, and Good Luck is …
Sleepless in Seatle (movie)
One of my favorite movies starred Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle. My son owns a copy of this movie and every time that it comes on TV I find myself surfing channels and settling on this delightful movie.
Tom Hanks plays this widower with …
It’s a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra movie
Like thousands before me, I adore Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I initially only consented to watch the movie because James Stewart played the main role. As a teenager, he was one of my idols, and I watched every movie he played in which I could get my …
Flightplan
Flightplan is an suspenseful thriller that tries to keep the viewer guessing what will happen next during the entire movie. The movie begins a little slow to set up the plot, and some people may be turned off by its slow beginning. After the plot has been defined the …
Transcendence (science fiction movie)
When the trailer for the movie “Transcendence” was released I have to admit that I wasn’t very interested in watching it. What made it even worse was that I had no interest in seeing the movie even later, since I was seeing too many bad reviews on it, and it …
Flight of the Navigator movie
I haven’t seen Flight of the Navigator in a while but it still sticks in my mind as one of the better family-oriented science fiction films I’ve ever seen.

The Ring
There are people who love watching horror movies and there are others who just don’t bother. I’m the latter. I get scared easily so I don’t watch too many horror movies. But my sister insisted that we should watch The Ring because it had alot of good reviews. So …
Peter Pan movie
The classic fairytale by Barry in a new version. The most famous films on the story would be Disney’s classic animation and Spielberg’s Hook. This new version follows the same path as those two films and doesn’t really break any new ground, not even visually. For those of us …
Case of the Jolly Hangman
I am reviewing The Case of the Jolly Hangman, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Beyond Betrayal movie
A decade after playing lovers on Emerald Point N.A.S., Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Dey reunited to film this action drama, only this time around Anderson is no nice guy. In fact, this is probably the most violent portrayal I’ve seen of his, and I must be honest. …

Women Are Like That movie
Women Are Like That is a film from 1938 that starred Kay Francis and Pat O’Brien. In spite of O’Brien’s presence, I found this film to be one big boring waste of time. I actually watched it and other movies one day on TCM. They were …
“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …
The Reaping Movie
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
The Reaping (2007)

Sweet Home Alabama comedy
Sweet Home Alabama is a nice romantic comedy. The movie has Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, and Patrick Dempsey playing the main roles.

Dark Harvest
Well, when I rented the film Dark Harvest, I thought it would turn out to be something scary. Instead, it turned out to be yet another terrible horror film that lacked both scares and believable plot.
You have a guy who is adopted and seeks to learn more about his …
Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …
Angel’s Fall film
I am reviewing the Nora Roberts film, Angel’s Fall. So there’s this woman. She used to work in this restaurant cooking. One night a shooter entered the place and shot all of her co-workers, including her best friend. She was the only one left alive. Ever since then, this …
Red (2010 movie)
Red is an 2010 action, comedy and crime movie starring one of my favourite actors Morgan Freeman. The movie was directed by Robert Schwentke. I am not a fan of action and crime movies, but I truly love the combination of action and crime with comedy. I watched the …
Quarantine movie
Quarantine must have been written during the writers strike or at least by a nephew of a producer. How a script like this is green lit makes even a hack like me think I could do better. I don’t know if this was …
Death Note, Netflix movie

I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
