King’s Speech Movie
King’s Speech is exactly the kind of movie I enjoy most. Very touching, perfectly acted, and a beautiful rendering of a historical event or personality. This is a film that has garnered much recognition this Awards Season and that is rightly so, because it is certainly my favorite of …
Back to the Future 1 The Movie
When it comes to true movie classics, Back to the Future will always be one. Even if it’s basic theme is 20 or so years old, it has a great message and storyline behind it.
First and foremost, I love the Delorean, even if it’s an out-dated car today, …
Quigley Down Under (Western)
I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).
However, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this film.
Tom Selleck is awesome in this movie as his character, Quigley takes on an Australian Land Baron …
Movie Stranger than Fiction
Had a chance to watch “Stranger than fiction”, a great movie that has both comedy and drama. The plot is extremely catchy as Will Ferrell, an IRS agent, is living a life narrated by an author played by Emma Thompson. A typical IRS agent, counting his actions in numbers, …
Monkeybone (2001 Film)
While the title Monkeybone, might sound the perfect movie for the younger audience and something that adults would not find humorous—¦..you might be right. While I am not saying that adults would not appreciate this film as well, I think that the humor behind it might be best suited …
Meet the Parents - (2000)

Nebraska (comedy drama)
If you like family dramas, independent films and road trip movies like me, you might find yourself liking the movie Nebraska. It’s different from a lot of other films I’ve seen, the plot is exciting even though it’s simple and it strives to be realistic.
When the movie begins, we see …

The Dark Knight Rises film
The Dark Knight Rises is a good film! A really good film! Sure, there are a few problems with it but nothing there that really ruins this masterpiece!
The only thing you need to be aware of is that there is less Batman than in the Dark Knight because it …
Movie Election
Election with Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein.
This movie had some really hot hooks that kept me in rapt attention. It was a strange type of comedy in that it was subtle, yet effective. I especially enjoyed the cast and could feel the …
Point Break
The best way to describe “Point Break” is two great young acting talents, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze team up in a movie in opposite roles with a lot of action, nail beating moments and great scenography. Apart from having a great story, the interesting aspect about this movie …
Big Fat Liar
“Big Fat Liar” is the living proof that you can make a great movie without having big actors in it. The main actors of this movie are the young actors, Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes who up to 2002, when the movie was produced, they were not very much …
The Movie Prince of Egypt
I remember when I first heard about Prince of Egypt the movie. It was made by DreamWorks, who at the time were kind of the new guys on the producing block. It was a new version of animated Biblical stories that actually really piqued my curiosity. …

Last Holiday 2006 movie
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times now; it’s decent. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you think of and then you HAVE to see it, but it’s a pleasant movie to watch if it happens to be on.
Some of the acting is pretty good, …

The Adventures of Robin Hood DVD
I am not a huge Robin Hood buff, although I have enjoyed a Robin Hood movie or two in my times. I picked up this DVD collection mainly because of the price: an entire season, 39 episodes, for 5 bucks. It looked decent enough, and I do …

Transporter 3
I been watching the Transporter series for quite a while already. I was clearly impressed on how cool was the “Frank Martin” character.
In this third series, it involves Frank transporting a kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. Clearly for a start, I had difficulties catching up on …
Before Sunset movie
Nine years after the success movie of “Before Sunrise”, the actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet up together to work on “Before Sunset” which only took 15 days shooting. No doubt there are very few sequels which one can say that they are great and “Before Sunset” is …
The Old Curiosity Shop Movie
The Old Curiosity Shop, 1995, mini-series, is a good adaptation of the novel by Charles Dickens. Peter Ustinov plays Grandfather, a poor old man who is raising his beloved granddaughter Nell and trying to make her fortune by gambling. Peter Ustinov may be a little too heavy for the …

Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
Split (2017 Psychological Thriller Film)
The idea of watching a psychological film circling around different personalities inside a single person is potentially invigorating. After all the idea has never been done to death. That’s why I am earnestly hopeful that my first M. Night Shyamalan feature could fulfill the gap of films I missed in …
Anne of a Thousand days
This weekened we saw the movie the Other Boleyn Sister, which reminded me of the movie that I had seen with richard Burton many years ago when I was a senior in high school. I went to my son’s library and found the movie Anne of a Thousand days. …

Beethoven the movie
I watched Beethoven the movie last night. This movie is pretty flawed but a decent time overall, if you are into dog comedies. It stars Charles Grodin and is produced by comedy legend Ivan Reitman. It came out in 1991.
I think overall it is most notable for a few …
Get Smart (2008 movie)
Get Smart isn’t the latest film out. It actually is a pretty old film as it was released in 2008. Nevertheless, my iTunes balance was running low and I wanted to use my remaining balance on a cheap film.
Get Smart remind of of Johnny English. This movie really …
Sgt. Bilko
When Steve Martin re-did the Pink Panther movie, I thought his performance was actually better than the original. But, that wasn’t the only movie I can say that about.
When I was younger, I remember watching re-runs of the Phil Silvers Show and his character Sgt. Bilko. In the movie …

Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …
The Crow movie
The Dark Gothic film that claimed the life of Brandon Lee. One of my favorite movies of all time, as not everyday you see a corpse rising from the grave to right to wrongs done to him. Not a zombie type role either…but undead and kicking butt from corner …
Movie The Hunchback of the Morgue (1972)
The Hunchback of the Morgue (1972)
Easily the best non-werewolf film Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy has ever made!

Paul plays Goto, a misunderstood hunchback used as a tool of violence by a power mad, crazed scientist. Can Goto overcome this …
Tequila Sunrise movie
From 1988, Tequila Sunrise simply bored me from scene to scene. I could never get into it. In fact, I turned off the DVD on one day and went back to it on another, starting from the beginning. It was just too uninteresting.
Now it’s possible that …

I am reviewing the movie, Numb, starring Matthew Perry. So there’s this guy. He has a lot of problems. He has depersonalization. This means that everything around him is in a dream state. He doesn’t know whether things are real. They all seem like they’re holograms and unreal. In …
Futurama Movie #1 - Bender’s Big Score
After Matt Groening and David X Cohen’s television comedy series Futurama was canceled at the end of Season Four, it ended on a potentially upbeat note, but it was open-ended enough to leave fans wondering if there would be any future installments in the series. Not long after, …
“It Must be Love” (2004 Lifetime Movie Network Film)
