DVD DEATHDREAM (1972)
If ever a cult movie deserved a special edition DVD it is DEATHDREAM (AKA DEAD OF NIGHT), a chilling horror film about a vietnam soldier, mistakenly declared dead, surprisingly returns home.
Well, maybe not mistakenly dead. He is dead. He’s an unliving vampire-zombie who needs blood to survive and, …

The Hangover Part 2: Movie
The Hangover: Part 2 is a movie I, as so many others, have anticipated since its prior film. I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed as I was greeted with laugh after laugh with its comedic brilliance.
I have to say that I liked the fact that it was …
Death Note Movie
Death Note (2006) is one of the best foreign movies I’ve ever seen. Based on the popular Manga of the same name, and directed by Shusuke Kaneko, Death Note hails from Japan and tells a complex, interesting story about the faults of mankind.
Despite some pretty bad “heart attack” …
Very Violent Film
Isn’t it good to go to a movie and see intelligent, peacefull and interesting films? But there is nothing of this that I found at Lord of The Rings 3. There are so much violence in the scenes, so much strange anoyng creatures, like the Orcs, creatures that are …

I have just watched 2012 on HBO the other day and I Just had to do a review about it. Basically, the story has this plot: Ever since, it has been said that the end of the world will come on 2012. Even the Mayans have believed in this. …
Sex and the City
Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Recognize these four names? These are the women on a popular tv show called Sex and the City. It is easy to fall in love with these characters who seem so true to life.
The amazing series which ran from 1998-2004 was quite popular and …
Orphan movie
Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …
Throne of Blood movie
Akira Kurosawa’s depiction of the classic Shakespeare play Macbeth moved to a japanese environment. Apparently Kurosawa was very clear on that fact that he wanted to make Throne of Blood a japanese film, and that the audience was supposed to feel the Shakespeare story was only in the background. …
Blue Hawaii movie
Blue Hawaii is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. Part of it is because of the beautiful scenery, part is due to the musical score, part is due to a decent plot, and part is due to Elvis himself.
I’ve been to Hawaii and to the hotel where …
The movie P.S. I love you
I absolutely can’t stand the movie P.S. I love you because it is so stupid and it delivers a stupid message to women. The movie is about a young married couple and the husband dies and she than receives letters from her husband who wrote them all before he …
Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
After Dark Horror Fest: Borderland
Borderland is a bad movie, plain and simple. I can usually find some redeeming qualities in a movie, but this isn’t one of them. I think the real problem is that it was released as one of the films in the After Dark Horror Fest, but it isn’t a …
Moving McCallister
“Moving McCallister” is an out of the ordinary teen movie from the director, Andrew Black. This is one of the first movies for Black and unfortunately it lacks with regards for the flow of the story, however I must add that Black left his inprint on trying not to …

Rose Red (2002 Rilm)

Carrie (2013 movie)
Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …
The Dark Knight Movie
Thought provoking, stylistic, and entertaining all highlight the 2008 blocbuster The Dark Knight. This film not only provided the audience members with an action fest, it offered some heavy philosophical talking points long after the credits roled. How do you defeat an …

Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …

Movie: “Stand By Me” (1986)
This movie is based on the novella “The Body” by Stephen King. I was very happy to see that, for once, the movie closely followed the original story; and actually did it justice.

Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols
Something about Charlie Wilson’s War doesn’t feel right. The film tells the true story about Charlie Wilson and how he single handedly took down the Soviets. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching this movie and I don’t know why I feel this way …

License to Wed
I didn’t know that License to Wed is a fun movie to watch. Unfortunately, I caught it on DVD rather than from the cinema itself, but it’s better than nothing.
This movie stars Mandy Moore (my favorite actress), and in this movie, she is known as Sadie. She …
Tropic Thunder
When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …

Mystery Science Theater 2000: The Movie
I thought that every Mystery Science Theater was a movie, but that isn’t really the point. There really isn’t anything very special about this episode of “Mystery Science Theater” compared to any of the others, but then there doesn’t have to be. Watching Mystery Science Theater is the next …
Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca: A Science Fiction Movie
My husband is a science fiction fan. I don’t particularly go for the science fiction genre necessarily but there are movies in it that I like (Water World for example). We were at home watching television not so long ago when he saw that this movie, Gattaca, was …

The loveable, red-skinned hero is back to save the future of mankind. Action packed and absolutely hilarious, Hellboy 2 lives up to its prequel (Hellboy).

Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
