The greatest japanese director of all time is Akira Kurosawa if you ask me. Dersu Uzala was his second color film, made in Russia when the master director was out of money and needed to look for investors abroad. The story is about some russian soldiers with a captain …
Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …

Movie: The Girl Next Door

Everest (2015)- Biography, Drama Movie
I was sitting tight for this film ever since I saw its trailer. I was amped up for it because it is a true story and also because of its excellent star cast. In this way, when it was released I promptly hurried to the theater without worrying about its …
Over The Hedge
I bought a copy of this movie because the cover catch my attention. I thought that it was not that good since at the start of the film it was more about stealing and being greedy, yet while I was watching it, I became more eager to finish the …
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Sometimes I watch a movie and love it so much that I just keep watching it over and over and over and over again. That’s the case with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. When I put this DVD in the player, it tends to stay …
Dead Birds movie
“Dead Birds” is one of my friend’s favourite horror movies, and he kept insisting that I watch it, and so I did. Up to now, I still think the movie, which I believe is a low budget B-rated horror film, is one of the best B-rated horror films …
Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie
I skipped this film in theaters because I wasn’t sure that I could sit through two hours of watching people pretend that a Real Doll (sex doll) was really the girlfriend of a local man. I realized upon watching this movie that I was right in my decision …
House of the Spirits movie
In South America before World War II a poor man named Esteban marries a woman and works hard in order to afford living their dreams. The film was directed by the danish filmmaker and is a very heartwarming story. The biggest fault of the film in my opinion is …
Nim’s Island, adventure-fantasy film
Walden Media hasn’t really changed movies with some of their movie adaptations of their famous novels. There seems to be more buzz around the actual title than the movie itself, which doesn’t sit well for movie goes. Is Nim’s Island going to suffer the same way just all the …

Cube Zero
Starring:
Zachary Bennett (Erin Wynn), David Huband (Dodd), Stephanie Moore (Cassandra Rains), Michael Riley (Jax)
Watching this show alternately petrified and fascinated me. Imagine seeing your skin flaking off while you are still conscious; or having your hands, legs and everything being sliced off by razor-sharp wires?
Wynn and Dodd were technicians, …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …
Batman Begins Movie
This was Cillian Murphy’s breakout movie as Jonathan Crane a.k.a The Scarecrow and I think he did an amazing job here. He could do drama as well as action and he’s a newly-talented and famous actor for doing and completing this movie alone! Christian Bale portrayed Batman in this …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The best way to describe the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is a good look through Greek traditions in a comical way. Originally, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was a one women play. When Tom Hank’s wife, Nina Wilson saw it, she told her husband how great it …
The Dead Zone
King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …
King Kong
When I saw the preview to King Kong, I knew it was a must seen movie . I was right. I didn’t care to watch the old King Kong, because I don’t like older movies. However, the new one, even though created in modern times, shows the world …

The Wedding Crashers it a great movie! This movie was just great. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaugn did a great job of acting in this movie. I really liked the basic storyline. The Wedding Crashers is very funny because these two guys go around looking for girls at weddings they …
For What It’s Worth (2004) Dave Chappelle
I love Dave Chappelle. His sense of humor is insane. I love the easy way that he fires off hilarious tidbits and can easily bring an audience to its knees (and to its feet at the end of the show). The title “comedic genuis” fits him well. For those …
The Basketball Diaries
I have watched the movie “The Basketball Diaries” several times, but had not known the name of the film up until recently when I watched it again. It is not to be confused with another American film called “Love and Basketball” which has a completely different plot and setting. …

Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …
Blood Diamond
I have always love seeing Leonardo DiCaprio acting, and a DVD movie I have watched, is the Blood Diamond.

The Iron Lady movie
I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …
2001 Manics Movie
While watching the movie 2001 Manics, I couldn’t help but think that it was the ultimate B-movie which I was usually so turned off of watching. It had lots of sex, gore, bad acting and young people which is what most B-movies usually has, not to mention the lack …
The Last Vampyre

Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior (R, 2005) DVD
Mike Epps’ first attempt at doing a stand-up comedy DVD was quite the success. This 2005 DVD features all the nuances of Epps quirky and outrageous personality. But the really funny parts of his performance revolve around the realities of life. What I loved in …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie

The words that describe best the movie “The English Patient” is magical and fascinating. This movie, which was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 9 of them, is the director’s Anthony Minghella best movie.

When I walked into the theater recently to watch the offering by the emperor of the Fox Animation Domination universe Seth MacFarlane’s into the world of the Wild West, I thought that I was going to be hit square between the eyes with a perfect combination of my two …
Zombieland Movie
It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …

Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …

Risky Business movie

Silent Hill (2006 movie)
I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …
