As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …

Sharknado 2: The Second One (movie)
I don’t remember seeing Sharknado 2 advertise, but when I saw the trailer for its prequel Sharknado for the very first time I was convinced the entire thing had to be a joke or one of those bad Syfy movies even with all the so-called rave reviews it had …
The Painted Veil
I am absolute biased in writing this review because in adore Edward Norton’s work, give it that he may interpret the worst of criminals or the best of lovers. I find that Norton has got a lot of passion in his work and really tries to give his best …
The Happening Movie
A movie I never heard of and have never even seen in posters was downloaded by my brother to a DVD copy. It was supposed to be a thriller mystery movie, but it kind of left me wondering about the movie more than being able to understand it. The …
The Duff - Teen Movie (2015)
‘The Duff’ is a teen comedy that took me by surprise. I expected the movie to be terrible as most teen comedies are repetitive. This movie wasn’t unique but it took the usual storyline and made it wonderful.
The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …

This movie portrays the true story of the King of France, …

Waitress - (starring Keri Russell)
This movie that I have watched before, Waitress, starring Keri Russell, is a very powerful and sweeping story. Do not underestimate the contents of it because it has lots of morale values that we can at one point or another learn.
Keri acted as Jenna and she is …
The Man from U.N.C.L.E-2015, Action, Comedy Movie
The Man from U.N.C.L.E is a spy movie. It is based off the TV show of the same name which kept running from 1964 to 1968. Before viewing this movie I didn’t knew anything about it. Without a doubt I had low desires from it on the grounds that I …
Valkyrie (2008)
I enjoyed Valkyrie more than most war movies. It’s a story quite different from most WWII films. I expected to turn it off halfway though, but got a surprise when the movie pull me in! It’s got good substance and a story to tell that few of …
Movie 300
The modern day effect in a classic war epic! Based on the actual historical event of 300 Spartans facing, for sure death, defend there freedom and there land against the will of the older oracles! The characters performance is unreal they all look like body builders and you can …
Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
Who can forget the legend of Sleepy Hollow? And after watching the 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the blood and gore of the film (and the headless horsemen of course) make it difficult to. Though this film was made in the 90’s, and technology …

Knowing movie
I saw the movie —˜Knowing’ last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after —˜Raising Arizona.’ The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray stars in this crazy movie about a cynical and snobbish TV reporter whose life is turned upside down when he’s forced to cover the story of Groundhog Day in Pennsylvania. Phil, Murray’s character, believes the story is beneath him. He just wants to get the …
Columbo: No Time to Die movie
There were a string of these Columbo movies that really just didn’t quite cut the mustard for me, and this was one of them. I’m not sure what the problem was. Perhaps it’s the lack of star power, that really charismatic murderer that grabbed your attention and …
Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Coming back for a third time, Rush Hour 3, in my opinion, has done a lot better than the second. With a great addition of Israeli actor Yvan Attal, who plays George, this movie is a great finish to top off a funny trilogy.
Jackie Chan is back and better …
Gia (movie)
Gia is a movie about the deceased supermodel, Gia Carangi. Gia is played by Angelina Jolie, and while I am not a personal fan of Angelina Jolie, she does a marvelous performance. Gia is such a troubled soul, from the very start. Gia is not only a smart talking, …

Benhur
I do really appreciate the movie “Benhur.” For me it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The leading actor Charleton Hestone played his role excellently as well as other participants in the movie. It is the best religious film for men. I feel closer …
Hotel Rwanda
I can vaguely remember news reports in the nineties when I was a child of war and genocide taking place in the African province of Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsis. I was about six years old when all of this was taking place, so I was blissfully …
Wild Guitar movie
What initially got my attention when the 1962 film Wild Guitar began was a shot of Revue Studios, which produced my favorite show of all time, Laramie. I’d never seen the Revue building and knowing a bit about Los Angeles, this gave me an idea of where it …
Blues Brothers Movie
I got bored the other day and decided to sit down and watch The Blues Brothers again. I have seen it on TV quite a few times in the past but I hate the edited version of it so I watched the DVD instead.
Wow, this is a good movie.
I …
The Woman Hunter movie
Post I Dream of Jeannie, Barbara Eden took the movie circuit with this made for TV number called The Woman Hunter. Eden is lovely. She always has been, and that’s one of the best parts of watching this film. Eden and location shooting in Acapulco are …
Open Range (2003)
Once again, Kevin Costner has delivered unto us, the viewing public, another almost three hour feature length film based in the days of the old west. I guess it is safe to say that he loves this time period and he enjoys getting all submerged in a world where …
Drag Me to Hell (UR, 2009)
I am soooo glad that I waited to see “Drag Me to H3ll” on DVD. Had I watched it in the movies, I would have been extremely disappointed. In any case, I didn’t like that the film was too much of a dark comedy with some cheesy …
The King of the Apes movie
An old chinese animated film about the king of the apes who rebels against the Gods to claim the throne of Jade.
The film was made in 1965, and only that is worth some extra credit, not least of all because it was made in China that aren’t really known …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …
Toy Story 3 movie

Denver the Last Dinosaur
Denver the Last Dinosaur is a great cartoon about a dinosaur who lives in the modern world. He is a very friendly and cute dinosaur. I really liked this show because it was a very happy and cool show. Denver the Last Dinosaur is one of the best cartoon characters …
Religulous (Documentary)
Religulous is a documentary by Larry Charles which features Bill Maher which basically focuses on mocking religious belief, although I will stress now that it primarily only focuses on the Western religions, extremely little to no attention at all is given on the other Wisdom Traditions. I personally find …
Westworld Movie
Filmed in 1973, the movie makes a decent attempt of portraying the future where very realistic, human-like androids serve for entertainment purposes. Delos, hailed as “vacation of the future,” is an amusement park divided into three major areas: West World, Medieval World, and Roman World; each one is populated …
Heartbreak Kid DVD
Any move with Ben Stiller is bound to be funny and the Heartbreak Kid is no exception. And now you can bring it home on DVD and enjoy it whenever you want. But it is definitely an adult comedy, rated R, so if you can make sure the kids …
Yes Man Movie by Jim Carrey

King of California
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, King of California, starring Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas plays a mentally ill, deadbeat dead who left his daughter to fend for herself. Douglas plays Charlie, a musician who has just been released from a mental hospital. Evan Rachel Wood plays his daughter, …
Prince of Persia (2010)
When I told people I would be going to see Prince of Persia in theaters, they always accused me of going to see it just to watch a muscular bodied, cute faced Jake Gyllenhaal on a huge screen. I would defend myself by saying that I had actually played …
America’s Sweethearts
This movie has some great actors in it, including Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but it’s not a movie I’d sit and watch over and over again. It’s a great Cinderella type movie, but it’s just not my favorite of all time chick flick. This movie feels like the …
Discovering the real world of Harry Potter
I felt a little silly when I first began to read the harry Potter books. These are books for children I told myself so why did I find it so entertaining. I’ve read other books for children since I became an adult of course, but those had already moved …
