House of Flying Daggers Movie
You add a mix of deception and betrayal, throw in a dash of blindness and what do you have? You have another movie about a plot to kill the emperor or in this case, to kill the leader of a rebel group. Animation is good…not too over the top, …

Slumdog Millionaire movie
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.

For Colored Girls (2010 Film)

As young as you feel movie
We had some free time last night so my wife and I decided to watch one of the Marilyn Monroe movies we had on our Netflix Player; As Young As You Feel.
I don’t know if I would really classify this as a Marilyn Monroe movie (she only had a …
Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …
Annabelle (2014 Film)
I was prompted to watch Annabelle, after watching the conjuring and seeing the brief glimpses of the character in the movie, I was instantly interested.
When going in to watch this movie, I already had my ideas and expectations pretty much set. As with any horror movie, I was going in …

I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …

X-Men 3: The Last Stand [movie]
I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …

I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
Film Basket Case
Considered by some to be one of the sickest films ever made, director/writer Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case is also very inventive, scary, gruesome, touching, funny and disturbing cult films ever made against the most spindly of shoestring budgets.
Brining a wicker basket with him to Manhatten, Duane (Kevin Han Hentenryck) …
Weird Science
The last time I watched the movie Weird Science, I was 12 years old and, while I understood some of what was going on, I�ll admit most of the stuff was a bit confusing.

Ghost Town is one of those movies where the story is so familiar that you already know what is going to have even if you are only given a little bit of the plot. (I found this with Avatar as well). I mean, this is such a common plot …
Haunter (horror movie)
I’m a horror fan who likes my weekly dose of horror movies, especially when I’m in a particular mood and I feel like chilling out. I generally don’t gravitate to C and D-rated horror movies or even those of a certain genre, but there are times when I’m so …
Road to Morocco movie
The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
One of …

From Paris With Love (2010) movie

I do like the storyline it is quite interesting, with a twist I did not expect so …
Final Destination 5 (movie)
Final Destination 5 is supposed to be the final installment of the series, and hopefully for movie goers such as me, the studio actually means it. This film was probably the second worst movie of the franchise with its predictable plot and obvious scene transitions in the movie.
The movie …
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? movie
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? from 1978 is a movie that I really didn’t expect to tolerate, let alone enjoy. I say only because when it started, I could tell that it was British and the opening bit wasn’t my style. I groaned in …

I just finished Christmas with the Kranks and it is a cute holiday movie. It stars Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and has other big stars in it like Caroline Rhea, Dan Akroyd, Felicity Huffman and Cheech Marin. The premise of the movie is that the Krank’s daughter …
Beerfest DVD
Many movies are made in the comedy section each year. Most of them are the same type of comedy and recycle old jokes. When you find that one movie, that made you cry of laughter… you want to tell people and spread the word about it. For me, the …

One Missed Call (PG-13, 2008) movie
How laughable this film was. I am almost ashamed to admit that I rented it from Netflix. Usually, I will see the Asian original before seeing the Americanized version. This is one instance where I wish I had. For the most part, the …
