Spirited Away (2001 film)
One of my favorite Japanese directors Hayao Miyazaki, has done a wonderful job in creating the 2001 Japanese animation “Spirited Away”. The characters in this movie are relatable and ones that I quickly fell in love with, and I am sure that many other people can truly enjoy this …

Like the Prince and me that’s similar to the 1950’s classic a Roman Holiday, this time it’s guy meets princess. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and two of the greatest screen couples in film history.
Audrey Hepburn as princess Ann …

School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
Mystic River
Clint Eastwood first gained directorial praise with Unforgiven, which was a movie I loved. So as you can imagine, I was very excited for Mystic River. And after watching it, I was not disappointed. Clint Eastwood delivers again and does an even better job than he …
Ghost of Girlfriends Past Movie
When I saw this movie, I immediately expected it to be a good one since it features Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey; Michael Douglas has a cameo role in this and it just adds flavor to the movie. The story is about a young bachelor named Connor Mead (Matthew …
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 …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
I can honestly say that I was never a big fan of the Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon… however, I must also say that I loved Alvin and The Chipmunks movie. When it first came out, I thought it’d be a silly movie that only kids could possibly …
Hell Comes to Frogtown
So I just saw this little gem for the first time. For those not in the know, Hell Comes to Frogtown is a 1987 post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick starring none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Piper plays the titular character, Sam Hell. He’s one of the last potent men …
Birdemic Shock and Terror, Blu-ray Romantic Horror film
Birdemic: Shock and Terror had to have been made for cult status purposes. I mean come on why would anyone made a movie with birds that spit acid and shoot lasers—¦or I think they are lasers. The movie has crappy violence, early 90s PC game dialogue, and children who …
BATMAN (NEW)
This is not your standard cartoon mind Batman movie! I am not sure how children will react to this DVD. The Newest Batman movie, the one that came out only yesterday, Oct 18, 2005, on DVD, is an adult film to me. That should be of high interest to …
Star Wars: Clone Wars
This DVD should not be confused with The Clone Wars which is now on TV. This movie is also a cartoon but it feels like a series of ten minute stories about Clone Wars. This has most of the characters from the prequels and there is no doubt that …
The Mist
Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …
Movie-Chocolat
This film powerfully demonstrates how humans should never repress themselves. The protagonist courageously braves all criticisms and alienation to introduce to this rigid town, that one can act on human desire.
The town, despite its extremeness in following unwritten rules, exemplifies a lot of our societies. The protagonist, enviably shepherds …
Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …
Sense and Sensibility Movie
Sense and Sensibility, 1995, starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson is a very good adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic. When their father dies, the Dashwood family is left with very little means to live on. The house and everything in it is inherited by Mr. Dashwood’s son John from …
Killer Elite Movie
I went to see the Killer Elite movie with my friends. I was really looking forward to seeing it when I learned about the cast: Jason Statham, Robert De Niro and Clive Owen- all mega star actors that I love and respect. When you can a cast like that, …
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 …
Four Weddings and a Funeral with Hugh Grant
This movie is full of funny scenes. It starts with Hugh Grant’s character being late for a wedding he is attending. Worse yet, he is the best man, and he has forgotten the rings. The bride and groom end up getting married using junk jewelery that his friend was …
Sherlock Holmes’ Terror By Night
When I was younger, I used to watch Sherlock Holmes a lot. I loved these movies, and they were on all the time. Then years passed and I’ve only seen it a few times. Oddly, I don’t seem to enjoy these mysteries as I once did, …
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a hoot and a half! It’s one of the best family films ever. I saw it numerous times in the theater as a child, have viewed it many times on TV, and finally purchased the DVD, which I watch repeatedly. It’s …
The Ten Commandments Movie
The story of Moses who goes to fetch the ten commandments on the mountain of Sinai in Egypt. Great actors like Charlton Heston, John Carradine and Edward G. Robinson bear this story on their shoulders, a film which I honestly found quite boring. I am not a religious man …
Movie Gothika
This is one of my favorite movies. The first time watching it all my focus was on the movie. It was very entertaining to watch. It kept me watching throughout the whole thing wondering what’s happening next and scared a little. It also has a very good story to …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …
The Woods: the movie
The Woods is a scary horror movie set in an all girls boarding school. The main character is a troubled teenager who was put in the school by her parents, who do not know how to handle her after she has set fires and done other things. …

I am reviewing the Case of the Exhumed Client, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Save the Last Dance for me movie
The 2004 Korean Drama “Save the Last Dance for me”, starring Yoo Jin and Ji Sung, is one of my favorite dramas. This was the one which made me start my hallyu craze.
The plot of the drama is not the typical amnesia story. Kang Hyun Woo(Ji Sung) has already …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This latest installment of the Indiana Jones series is my least favorite because of several things. It’s not as fun and entertaining; Harrison Ford as Henry “Indiana” Jones is no longer as hot as he was in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; and I don’t like the story …
About Time comedy film
Some days ago I watched —˜About Time’ movie. —˜About Time’ is a romantic comedy film with some fantasy elements. The film revolves around Tim Lake, who at the age 21 is told by his father that the male members of the family can travel through time. All they have …
Get Smart(2008)
This is a movie starring Steve Carell as Agent 86, Ann Hathaway as Agent 99, and Dwayne Johnson as Agent 23, it also has Masi Oka from HEROES!! I used to watch the television show when I was a little girl but have forgotten a lot about it. …
The Scret Window (movie)
I love Johnny Depp and I think that he is just a re3ally versitile actor. He can play all sorts of rolls and keep you involved with the movie. I also like Stephen King as an autor and the combination of a Stephen King novel and a …
Kurt & Courtney movie
A documentary film that tries to find out the mystery of the death of music legend Kurt Cobain. It was told Kurt committed suicide, but this documentary presents a series of evidence he was actually killed by his girlfriend Courtney Love.
This could well be the most speculative and idiotic …
Ice Age: Continental Drift movie
To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …
The Parent Trap (original)
The 1961 movie, The Parent Trap, is one of my very favorite motion pictures. I own the DVD and watch it frequently. It’s family, and it’s fun.
Hayley Mills played a set of twins who had been separated very early on when their parents divorced. The mother …
Across the Universe
I first heard about this movie from Oprah when she featured it in her show and some of the cast members sang. It interested me because eventhough I’m not a big Beatles fan, I do love musicals. So I rented a DVD and watched it. Anyway Oprah said its …
Zodiac (R, 2007) movie
I will admit that this movie seemed a little slow to me at first. I had seen the other Zodiac movie (slightly better than a B movie) and this one was much more thorough. Jake Gyllenhaal provided a very believable performance. But overall, I …
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 …
Movie Vanished
I have remembered this movie, Vanished, since I first saw it, but it’s been quite a while. I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s never on TV. It’s really frustrating, but it was so good to watch. The plot intrigued me, and it’s stayed with me …
The Bridge to Terabithia
I watched the movie “The Bridge to Terabethia” with my family this afternoon. I have to say I was not very impressed with the film.
The girl Leslie, played by AnnaSophia Robb and Jesse create a magical world to escape from bullies. There was not much fantasy in …
Van Helsing
Van Helsing was a movie that flopped at the box office for all the wrong reasons. A monster movie that combined the classical stories of Doctor Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Count Dracula, and Van Helsing, using plenty of CGI and nonstop action. Unfortunately, in 2004 CGI was still new and …
Movie Gia
Gia is a television film made by HBO and it stars Angelina Jolie in the lead role. It is the story of a super model, Gia, played by Angelina Jolie. Gia is a young girl from Philadelphia and she wants to become a super model. She comes to New …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …
Movie: “Mindhunters”
I can’t recommend “Mindhunters” passionately enough: it’s so much more than just action; it’s a deep psychological thriller that will have you guessing at every turn.
Rather than just introducing mindless FBI drones, the movie presents a cast of rich characters, all with their own strengths and frailties. They are …
The Bucket List (movie)
Two of my favorite actors in the same movie! The Bucket List stars Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter. Edward and Carter meet while in the hospital because both men are dying of cancer. Now the plot sounds pretty trite, but it is Jack Nicholson and …
Ice age: The Meltdown
The Earth is melting! Manny, Diego, and Sid return in this funny sequel, Ice Age: Meltdown. Due to global warming the ice caps are melting. Manny, Sid, and Diego with the rest of their herd start migrating to the other end of the valley to the safety of a …
Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …
The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …
