Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie
Paul Blart: Mall Cop was a very funny movie, which featured Kevin James. This Movie was about a mild-mannered security guard who has to be the hero when the mall is held up by a gang organization.
I really thought that the movie was boring and I didn’t want to …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is full of action, adventure, and plenty of comedy.
After seeing the first of the two movies I was extemely impressed, and expected even better from the second. It was even better than expected.

Disney’s Robin Hood
I love the earlier Disney films, back when everything was put on cels and was hand-drawn and none of this CGI and computer animated stuff. This was back near the golden age of television and movie theaters. This particular film was the first Disney film to be made …
Drop Dead Gorgeous movie
“Drop Dead Gorgeous” was what I thought was a very interesting and unique comedy film. It was unique in the sense that it was dark and it was filmed in a way and a style which I thought was different from any other comedy film I had ever seen …
Traffickers, Movie
Korean thrillers rarely pull their punches, which can often make them deeply affecting - especially when they centre around some really dark subjects. Unlike popular Chinese and Japanese cinema exports there is typically much more favour for realism in Korean films, that only makes them more shocking.
Traffickers is concerned …

The Cabin in the Woods (movie)
Even though I realize that a lot of other people don’t seem to share my opinion on this, I thought that “The Cabin in the Woods” was a very interesting movie, and I would gladly watch it again. This is despite all the bad reviews that I read about …
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …

Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …
Netflix Online
It’s time to put Blockbuster behind us.
Here’s why:
Selection. It doesn’t matter whether you like horror, comedy, romance, or history movies– Netflix has it all.
The price is reasonable. You know how much it costs to rent a movie at your local store, it’s outrageous. If you watch more than four …
Knocked Up
When I saw the previews to the movie Knocked Up, I thought it would be hilarious. In fact, I had a couple friends tell me they watched it and were laughing throughout.
After watching it last night, I can say I was seriously disappointed by it.
I will start out …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …
The Notebook movie
The Notebook movie is real horrible and I never could quite get why people liked it so much. The book was ok but the movie was horrid. First off the actress they got to play the main role was awesome and she played the character well but the main …

Dishonored Lady movie
I’m really not sure if I’ve ever seen Hedy Lamarr in a movie. I’ve grown up knowing about her and having heard some tales of the legendary Hollywood actress, but I honestly can’t recall seeing her in the movies. Thus, I was intrigued to see what she …
The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …
Tod Browning’s Freaks, A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Film: 1932
This tale of deformity in birth defects and its application in olden times is a cult classic among black and white film fanatics as well as those who follow the old Dracula and Frankenstein poductions with a heavy eye. It follows the circus life that the deformed are almost …
Teeth (UR, 2007) movie
I was a little taken aback by this subject matter, and perhaps you might be too, if you venture to watch this obscure horror film. Vagina Dentata is the latin term for a dreadful condition in which a woman’s vagina is lined with teeth - yes, real …

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 …

Miracle on 34th Street movie
The classic and wonderful Miracle on 34th Street is a delight for all time. I don’t think any holiday movie about Santa Claus will ever be able to surpass it. It’s family entertainment at its best, with quality performances across the board. Little Natalie Wood is …
Old School movie
Old School. What a great phrase. Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson, better known as the Frat Pack, have made yet another hilarious film. After Wilson’s character finds out that he is being evicted from his new house, the boys decide to start a fraternity in order to …
The Air I Breathe
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …
Danika (R, 2006)
Marisa Tomei is one of those actresses who pops up in an unexpected film and steals the show. She did so in “Danika”—”a film about a woman who has a tight hold on her children, and is a bit overprotective. This is the way the film is …

Tropic Thunder, Thunderously Funny
If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
I normally don’t go for the action-adventure movies; however, Jack Black and Ben Stiller have always provided hilarious comedic …
Movie : Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog
I came across the short movie Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog a couple weeks ago and was intrigued enough to add it to my instant watch queue at Netflix (but not enough to actually rent the movie). I’m glad I did. The film was actually pretty interesting.
This movie, which was …
The Happening
I just watched the happening last night from a download. The movie started in Central Park New York. From the very beginning of the movie, it freaked me out. I could not look when the girl suddenly took the chopsticks out of her hair then stick it in to …
But I’m a Cheerleader (movie)
I watched this movie a long time ago a little after it was released, but I don’t think I was old enough to understand it enough to appreciate it. I forgot about it for a couple more years until I saw it on television recently again. I didn’t think …
The 40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin was surprisingly good. I thought it might be just a dumb comedy, but it was a comedy with heart and some intelligence. Steve Carrell plays the titular character without become a caricature. Sure he does some nerdy things like collect huge …
Death Sentence, movie
Kevin Bacon heads into new territory as a father in pain on the march for revenge. I thought that the film was close to the plot of the “Death Wish” films but was surprised that there were enough differences to make the film a decent movie. There is …

Up In The Air Movie
I thought this movie was going to be really exciting since Anna Kendrick and George Clooney was here, the movie all about George Clooney being “alone” and “isolated” because of this job that requires him to fly all around the country, he then meets Vera Farmiga who’s just as …
Captain Fantastic (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)

Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
Nacho Libre movie
There are movies that make you laugh, and then there are movies that make you laugh. This is one of those movies. This has to be the very funniest movie that I have ever seen, and it is all entirely child-friendly, which is amazing to find in this day …
Top Secret! movie
An american rock star is having a performance in Germany. What he doesn’t know is that the performance is really a cover-up for a political meeting.
