Movies Reviews
Shrek Forever After (2010)
This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …
Alice in Wonderland Movie (2010)
Alice in Wonderland was my favorite cartoon movie before, and I would always dream and wished I was Alice so I could eat the cookies and drink the potion that would make me smaller or bigger than my average size. I wanted to be Alice when I was a …
Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising, David Cunningham Movie
A teenager named Will Stanton living in a large family with 7 children. Several days before the year is to 14th some people try to get closer to him and see with quizzically. It turns out Will is the last member of a group of people who have the …
The Eye Movie
The Eye is one of those movies that I kind of wanted to see, but I really wasn’t sure if I would like it. As one of those rare (very rare) horror fans that never really liked the Japanese imports, I’ve been more than a little disappointed at the …
Milk movie
I recently saw the movie Milk with Sean Penn. He is a really good actor and played this part perfectly. I wasn’t familiar with the real Harvey Milk, but I felt like I was after watching Penn’s portrayal.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay councilmen to be elected …
Old School (2003)
I trust that a lot of people have seen this movie and what is worse than just seeing it, you have happened to come across it on the cable networks every now and again, it is my opinion, that whether you see this movie once or on multiple occasions, …
The Blind Side-Movie
I anticipated that as soon as The Blind Side was available on DVD that it would be my goal to see it right away, and I did this past weekend. Just the previews and trailers alone made me cry, so I knew it would be a very heart-warming movie. …
Ray Alexander: A Taste for Justice movie
Ray Alexander: A Taste for Justice is a movie that stars Louis Gossett Jr. in the title role. He’s hired by attorney Jeffrey Winslow (James Coburn) to help save his client from a murder rap. The client is Patricia Radcliff (Rosalind Allen) and the victim is …
Sublime Movie
Sublime is quite possibly the oddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Once the movie ended, I was left feeling very confused and still trying to figure out what happened. Sometimes that is a good thing, like in Momento, but it wasn’t a good thing in this …
Dr. Strangelove (1964 movie)
I decided to watch this black comedy because one of my friends at school simply would not stop talking about it, I mean I’d never seen one of my friends so transfixed on a movie before. However, after seeing it myself I certainly understood his enthusiasm. This movie is …
Screwed (2000)

The Garden movie
As far as documentaries go, The Garden, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, has everything that I love in this genre of film. It is a film that depicts the battle for a 14 acre piece of land in south central Los Angeles following …
Daredevil
Another Marvel Comics superhero is brought to life again. Daredevil is directed and written by Mark Steven Johnson and it stars Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jon Favreau. It’s the story of Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck), a defense attorney who became blind as a …
A history of violence
Painfully powerfull. In a world where special effects have replaced good old fashion acting and writing this movie stands alone and swings at the audiences mind. Knocking us back to a world where good old fashion sweat and curage rule!
The timing of this thriller holds the audience suspended …
Dennis The Menace (The Movie)
Dennis the Menace was an adorable television show about a troublesome little boy. They turned it into an even more adorable movie. Dennis is still causing Mr. Wilson to become stressed out as he tries to help him and Mrs. Wilson is still telling him that Dennis is just …
Suspect X - (Japanese movie with English subtitles)
I thought that this is going to be a super amazing movie story but it just disappoints me to the max. The actors aren’t that bad looking and quite talented and this is like a normal cop movie where Suspect X is the mystery in the story. Yukawa …
Two Weeks Notice
It is so difficult to say who is the ideal on screen partner for Hugh Grant. We have seen him act with such great female stars such as Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Renee Zellwegar, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Julianne Moore and Andie MacDowell. I believe he is ideal on screen partner …
Love Affair movie
To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …
Monster Squad
It has been a long while since I got to see the movie Monster Squad. So, when I was bored this weekend, I popped in the 20th anniversary addition I’ve owned but never opened and watched it again.
Overall, I still think it’s a good movie. But, I will confess …
Blue Butterfly movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Blue Butterfly. This movie is about a terminal little boy who wants to go to the rainforest to catch the blue butterfly. His idol is a broken, emotionally drained, insect man who takes a trip into the forest every year. Pete is …
Scary Movie 2
Have you guys ever watched Scary Movie 2 on theaters before..? Well, I did and it was so darn and hilariously funny. There are just too many scenes to mention that I especially admire and the fact that the creators of the movie could have made something truly …
Ninja Assassin : The Movie
The main reason why I decided to watch this movie was because this movie concluded my entire fetish in it. I love everything about Ninja things (I love everything about Japan things, and Ninja was originally from Japan, am I right?) and Assassins are also one of my favorite …
Homeward Bound II Lost in San Francisco
Homeward Bound II Lost in San Francisco is about two dogs and one cat who, when vacationing with their family, are lost in San Francisco, California, on their own, to find their way back home. Chance, Shadow, and Sassy have to get through the mean unfamilliar streets of the …
Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - Dead Mans Chest
This had to be one of my favorite movies of all summer. I would have to say it was even better than the first one! Not only was this movie full of suspense and action, but it had a bunch of laughs, whether it be Jack Sparrow running in …
Christmas in Wonderland
My very favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, stars in this holiday movie, “Christmas in Wonderland”. I just saw it for the first time when it aired on TV, and I have mixed feelings about it.
Patrick was great, as always. He’s heavy in the first 15 minutes of the …
The Shining movie
The Shining starring Jack Nicholson as Jack, the father, is my favorite The Shining movie. This classic blew everyone away in its time, and Stephen King’s book was brought to justice with The Shining movie. A man who has some issues and quirks takes his family to an old …
Wild Card, Movie
Wild Card is the latest offering from Jason Statham, and sees him once again partnered with director Simon West. This movie is much more low key than the soon to be released Furious 7, but it does boast a respectable cast (including Stanley Tucci and Michael Angarano amongst others) as …
The Merchant of Venice Movie
We have watched the movie Merchant of Venice when we were assigned to do a role play for our presentation when we were in college.
The story started when Bassario asked his friend Antonio who was a merchant to lend him money for him to be able to court the …
Forrest Gump (1994 film)
The greatest movies are perhaps the different ones and Forrest Gump with its unique nature of storytelling, the absolutely original character and the randomness of its narrative definitely stroke me as such.
Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) has a coefficient of intelligence below the low border and a …
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Chronicles of Narnia:The Lion, The witch and The wardrobe is based upon CS lewis novels. The Story was about a Gour Children:Peter, Edmund,Lucy and Susan we where sent to Professor Digory Kirke because of World War 2. They find the house of the professor very Boring so they …
T2 Horror Movie
About 2 months ago, Star Cinema made available for public viewing in cinemas millions of Filipinos had most looked forward to : T2, a Filipino-based horror movie directed by the very popular Chito Rono. Its trailer had been running in big Tv networks for weeks and the people can’t …
Enchanted
“Enchanted” is a fantastic musical film for all those who believe in dreams and fairytales. In a nutshell, this film is a modern day fairytale partly filmed and partly animated. I have noticed that the same concept of filming was used also in the recent “Alving and the Chipmunks” …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, directed by Jay Roach is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual innuendo and crude humor. The original release date for this movie was June 11, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …
Bingo (1991 movie)
The first time that I saw the movie “Bingo” was several years ago in either the late nineteen nineties or the early two thousands, and I was not very impressed with the movie. Even when I watched it a little more recently, I still was not impressed with it. …
The Happening (2008) Movie
I really did not know what to think of the movie The Happening. The trailer looked promising, the actors were supposedly good, and the writer and director is M. Night Shyamalan. He was the one who gave us the Sixth Sense, the Village, and now, this.
The Happening stars Mark …
Divine Secrets Of The Ya Ya Sisterhood (movie)
Divine Secrets Of The Ya Ya Sisterhood is a great mother daughter movie as well as a movie about old, best friends. The Ya Ya Sisterhood was formed when four young girls in the rural South form a bond to be together always and keep the sisterhood alive. There …
Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …
IMDB.com
IMDB.com (stands for Internet Movie Database) is, in my opinion, one of the best movie-related sites. You can find information about virtually any movie on it, even those that are no longer available. You can search the database for a specific movie title or a specific actor. Each actor …
The Departed
Anybody that has seen this movie would probably review it the same way. It was fantastic and i don’t even know if that’s enough. It was the best movie i’ve seen in a long time. I am not normally a “Leo” fan but he was the best I’ve ever …
17 Again Movie (2009)
This movie made me cry, it is a wholesome comedic funny movie with a love story but it is also tender and romantic, there were scenes that made my teary-eyed and cry here and this is not only good to watch for teens but also adults as well. The …
Veggie Tales: The Star of Christmas
I had to do some last second shopping yesterday afternoon before the stores were closed for Christmas. While there, I noticed a movie in one of the bargain bins; Veggie Tales: The Star of Christmas. Since it was only $5, I figured it would be a great last second …
Bratz
When we rented the movie Bratz, we figured it would be something our daughter would enjoy since she collects the toys. Turns out, she didn’t even watch five minutes of this live-action film and my wife and I were left with the feeling we’ve seen it before.
The movie focuses …
Che: Part One, starring Benicio Del Toro
I had read a few reviews of the movie “Che” starring Benicio Del Toro, and most of them complained that it was too long at over 4 hours, and that it dragged on and was not interesting enough to hold the viewers’ attention for that long. The other night I …
The Notebook
For all those who enjoy watching romance movies, they must not miss out in watching “The Notebook”. This movie has a great story to tell about love and commitment that will keep you hooked watching it till the end.
What is interesting about this movie is that the two young …

Identity Thief (movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Identity Thief on youtube before it came out I never really thought that it stood out, and so I wasn’t particularly interested in watching it. However, one or two people who I know encouraged me to watch it a little after …
