Movies Reviews
Sin City
Sin City the movie is directed by Robert Rodriguez and is based on hot comic novels by Frank Miller. Rodriguez brings to life the work of Miller and is not like any movie I have ever seen. The cinematography is brilliant and artistic. Most of the movie is shot …
Step Brothers
I watched Step Brothers on DVD the other night and I was laughing so crazy! I do not realize that a movie starring just these two actors, namely Dale, acted out by John C. Reilly and Brennan, acted out by Will Ferrell could really be hand-clapping funny and fun. …
The Happening movie
M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …
The Fall - (Tarsem Singh) film
This is a stunningly good, stunningly beautiful film.
You will probably find yourself thinking “What?” or just “?” throughout. Occasionally re-winding to find out if you really DID hear/see that, or to find out the answer to “?”
Being moved to tears, then laughter, or both at the same time may …
Bury me in Niagara (movie)
Out of the many movies that I’ve seen over my lifetime, this is one of those that stands out because of how it frightened me when I watched it one Sunday when I was still a fairly young child. I remember how strange the entire thing was too because …

The Watchmen movie
‘A comedian died tonight in New York City’
It’s no ‘here’s looking at you, kid’ but I’ll admit it’s a catchy line. And the movie had has many good points; great special effects, all right screenplay, intriguing costumes but that was it. There were some witty lines but that doesn’t …
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Movie

Hulk, Movie by Director Ang Lee
For a long time I watched the poster for this movie and wondered whether I should bother myself with watching it. I’m not really a fan of the Hulk movies, and I do not like the concept on which it runs itself the storyline that in my opinion, at …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
St Trinian’s
St Trinian’s is a laugh out loud movie that I’ve watched and it wouldn’t work without the funnymen Colin Firth and Rupert Everett especially. This is a story about a school called St Trinian’s and the students are trying their best to save this school from a deep pit …

“Dirty Deeds” is a comedy some kids will like, but if you prefer smart humor, don’t bother. West Valley High School has a funny tradition: every year during the homecoming week one of the students takes up the challenge of committing “10 Dirty Deeds” - 10 pranks that progress …
A Christmas Story
When I first saw A Christmas Story a few years ago, I thought it was a great film. Now, after every television station has managed to show it at least a dozen times, I’m a bit burned out on it.
Overall, this is a unique holiday film in the sense …
Bloodsport movie
I’m not a hugh Jean-Claude Van Damme fan so when I watched this movie, I was already thinking I wasn’t going to be impressed by it. I was right.
It was an OK movie but you could tell it was made in the late 80s when karate movies were becoming …
Death Race 2 movie
As any fan of Jason Statham I was reluctant to part 2 of the movie Death Race. I really do not understand why they felt the need to make another film on this theme. Well I have to say that I really liked Death Race 2 and I will …
The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …
Dan In Real Life
I love writing on this site, it provides me an outlet to share a part of my life. My son and I have developed a tradition of taking time out of busy lives to spend some time with each other, and some people may think its funny, but …

The Moonstone movie
The Moonstone is an whodunit motion picture that is actually intriguing. I pretty much enjoyed it from beginning to end. The interesting thing about that is that there’s nothing magical or outstanding about the plot.
At key moments, for example, each member of the cast gives that ‘I’m …
The Last Airbender Movie
I am the biggest Avatar fan in the world. I absolutely love the series and I remember it being an integral part of my childhood. And I have to admit, I still rewatch the series every now and then even though it is kind of a childish show. The …

The movie the Iron Giant
The Iron Giant was one of those movies that I was very skeptical about. It seemed like it might be decent but it also seemed like it might have been crap. I leaned more toward the theory of it being crap
and decided to wait until it became available …

Upside of Anger, starring Kevin Costner and Joan Allen is a romantic comedy and drama. The movie is a good movie and has some very decent performances by the main actors. The tag line, ‘Sometimes what tears us apart helps us put it back together’ itself is very impressive …
Strawberry Shortcake DVD
As a parent of a 3-year-old girl, I am often concerned by the lack of quality children’s programming on television today. You can still find a few educational shows or cartoons. But, most of the things on TV, including some shows that advertise themselves as for kids, are a …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …

Columbus (2017 Drama Film)
“Every frame a painting,” is a term that could be aptly applied to this movie. And awhile its fairly static camera movement could mean a slow-burning calorie to be devoured by any human being watching this, the results are staggering. This is a widely-fleshed drama of two suffering characters trying …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …

Movie 50 First Dates
I decided to buy the movie “50 First Dates”, after watching the trailer and seemed to be interesting; however in the end I was very disappointed due to the fact that this movie must represent the worst interpretation from actors, Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymore.

The Professional: Movie
The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
First of all, the acting is excellent. The assassin Leon …
