Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …

Palookaville movie

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)
I only rented this movie because I thought that the first one was fairly decent. Looking back, I realize that not only was the first one not as good as I’d imagined, there NEVER should have been a sequel. The whole concept behind this film …

The Year Punk Broke 1991 movie

Enchanted is an attracting and unique movie with a brilliant idea to combine cartoon and real world. It is not a movie about Bugs Bunny and Brendan Fraser while they act in the same scene (Looney Tunes:Back in Action) but about a hole where every cartoon who enters …

Dead or Alive
Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Let’s start with the concept of …
Superbad (movie)
Unless you are a high school/college student or an intensely teen-hearted adult, this movie has nothing to offer you. It is nothing but two hours of dialogue about drugs, alcohol, and degrading comments about women; step foot onto any college campus in the nation, and you will be able …
