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. …
House Movie
House is a very cool and good movie. I must say I really loved this movie a lot when I saw it. House made me afraid of huge houses. I remember as a kid when I would go to my friend’s huge house. After I saw this film, I …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Chronicle, the movie
The first few months of the year are usually the hardest for movie goers, such as myself, as there is a huge difficulty finding quality movies, but I can safely say, the drought is over. We finally have our gem and its name is Chronicle.
Chronicle is directed by first …
Johnny English
Starring: Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English), Ben Miller (Bough) John Malkovich (Pascal Sauvage ), Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia)
I think the name of Rowan Atkinson itself attracted me to this movie. Having known him as that disgusting yet endearing Mr Bean and his absurd antics, he did not disappoint at …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I’m not much of an animated movie fan. I love watching movies with real people in it, not cartoons! I think those animated movies are just plain childish. Sometimes, what is funny to a child may no longer be that funny in the adult context. But, I gotta hand …
Phat Girlz
I’m not a big “Chick Flik” guy but when I read the description of Phat Girlz and how it’s about a woman who tries to create a clothing line for bigger women, I was a bit intrigued. Too bad the movie is nothing like it’s description.
The problem with Phat …

City Slickers with Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, and Jack Palance.

Yentl movie

This film has a lot of issues. To begin with it tries to …
Baby Einstein DVD’s

The Professional: Movie
The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
First of all, the acting is excellent. The assassin Leon …
Alvin And The Chipmunks
We recently rented the movie “Alvin And the Chipmunks,” and so far the four-year-old in my house has watched it 5 times! She loves it, and so does her 11-year-old brother! In fact, even I, who never particularly liked the cartoon version when I was a kid, am in …
Capture of the green river killer
I watched this movie on lifetime a few weeks ago. Overall it was a good movie. It wasn’t one of my favorites from lifetime but it was good. It kept me interested in the movie and entertained while watching it. The actors were good and did a good job …
The Time Travelers Wife movie
I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …

Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army)

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, …
Cool World (1992)
Cool World, hmmm, what is ther that can be said about this movie that is any way, shape or form a good thing? This movie came to us as viewers with such high expectations and with a new thought of actually combining the human element with animation. I was …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I was one of the many fans who waited for the movie. When it came out in the Philippines, I lined up for it together with some friends.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells about how James (Hugh Jackman) came to become Wolverine. It started when he killed his friend’s, Victor …
Midnight Lace movie
In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …
The others (movie)
I remember watching this movie years ago. It was a really good movie. I really enjoyed the movie altogether. Nicole Kidman plays in it. I remember that her kids can’t be around the sun or it will hurt there skin, or something like that. It kept me entertained and …

Taken, movie
Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …
Hulk vs. Wolverine (2009)
This is a classic battle that has managed to cross over from the pages of the comic books and finally on to DVD. The battle between mighty powers created by Marvel and the universe that they have created. In this animated movie, you get to decide who will emerge …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I had heard of the play Sweeny Todd and then heard of the movie from last year. I was interested in seeing the movie. When I first sat down to view the movie I was curious.
In my opinion, Johnny Depp is a good character actor. I also really …
Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …

The sequel to Batman Begins was a real shocker, it was very different than the first, and I will admit that it was one of the darkest movies that I have ever seen, but also one of the very best. I was so sad when I heard that Heath …
Movie City of Angels
City of Angels is a movie that stars Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. In this movie Nicholas is an Angel who retrieves souls as they are on their way to heaven. The movie is eerie in the premises that Angels are among us all the time, they smooth …
Back to the Future (1985 movie)
There are only two words that best describe this movie: science fiction classic!! When the film first came out in 1985, I was just a kid. It had a few curse words in it, but to a kid, that was considered cool–correction: totally cool (it was …
Some Kind of Wonderful movie
One of the most classic and beloved american high school movies of the 1980s, perhaps not as well known as Fast times at Ridgemont High for example, but Some kind of wonderful is definitely my own personal favorite. In the centre of the story stands a rebellious young man, …
Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …

Regal White Oak Stadium 14
I love this movie theater. It is located in a shopping center complex, where I can easily eat at a fast food or sit down restaurant before or after the movie, and also do some shopping. It is usually crowded, so I have to walk a little ways to …
Reign Over Me (2007)
Director: Mike Binder. Featuring Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows and Donald Sutherland.
