Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
This movie is taken from a popular video game and made into a live action movie and strange enough as it may be, it made the transition into real life without a hitch or a glitch in the system. People loved it and they love the lead character played …

Airplane movie
As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …
One Missed Call movie
One missed call is a great movie. It has great actors in it, a good storyline and kept me interested throughout the movie. The ending could have been a little bit better but it was still a good ending. It started off really good, once I started watching it …

Troops movie
A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince
Just as a bit of a foreword, I have read the novel which accompanies this film, but I read it around the time when it first came out and haven’t gone back to it, or any of the previous books, since.
Overview - Today I went to the theater and …

Slumdog Millionaire (movie)
While I have always heard about the top grossing film “Slumdog Millionaire,” it took a long time for me to watch it for myself since I would either forget about it when I had the time, or not have the time to watch it with my busy schedule. Nevertheless, …

So here’s a little background on the predictions this movie is based around - one of the earliest civilizations - the Mayans, predicted there would be great change to …

Brief Crossing (NR, 2001) film
Director Catherine Breillat is one of the most underrated directors of all time. Her films will appeal to women because of their intimate nature. But men will love her movies because they are filled with beautiful women and some pretty intense romantic situations. In this movie, …
Meet Bill (R, 2007)
“Meet Bill” is the kind of movie you watch when you have absolutely nothing to do, and you want to see a “bright” slightly sarcastic film. Bill is played by Aaron Eckhart. He wants to earn his father in-law’s respect, but can’t seem to do so. …
Popeye
No matter what the critics say, and they say much, none of which was good, I will always cherish this movie. My hat’s off to the director, the screenwriter, and most importantly the production crew, for turning out a fantastic film that remained true to the comic characters and …
Drake & Josh Go Hollywood
This is probably the third time I’ve watched the TV movie Drake & Josh Go Hollywood and, I’m not sure why, but I’m finding it to be one of the dumbest possible movies ever.
I mean the whole premise of the film doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. First, …
The Courage To Love movie (2000)
I once watched the movie Courage To Love, a few years ago when flipping through the channels on TV, one Sunday evening. At the time I wasn’t really paying attention to it. Usually I don’t care for TV movies so I wasn’t all that interested. I didn’t even know …
Avatar movie
Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m one of the few people out there that actually didn’t go to the movie theater to see this movie. I rarely go to the theater period, mainly because I feel that it’s just so outrageously expensive. I do kind of regret not going to …
Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …
Cheech and Chong’s nice dreams
This was on comedy central today so I watched it because I have never seen it. Even though it’s an old movie I really enjoyed it. I thought it was quite funny. There were a couple of parts that I thought were stupid. For the most part it was …
Eurotrip movie
I think “Eurotrip” was one of my favorite comedies which was released in my later years of high school. I didn’t watch it with my friends, but I remember watching the premiere of it on a cable television movie channel and talking about it with my friends when I …
Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Movie Bruno
Sachon Baron Cohen’s highly anticipated–highly controversial–new film “Bruno” follows the same vein as the 2006 hit “Borat.” Written by both Cohen and Anthony Hines, the movie relies entirely on its ability to shock its audience into laughter. For me, this was successful.
The movie is based on Cohen’s alternative personality …
Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Coming back for a third time, Rush Hour 3, in my opinion, has done a lot better than the second. With a great addition of Israeli actor Yvan Attal, who plays George, this movie is a great finish to top off a funny trilogy.
Jackie Chan is back and better …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
Open Water 2: Adrift (Thriller Movie)
When extreme worries arise, the darker side of human nature occasionally raises its ugly head. The quest for self-preservation may be suddenly thrust upon us at that time; the consequences leaving us with a bitter taste in our mouths.
Such is the case when a group of former high school …
Gravity (2013 Space Thriller Film)
I still remember that day in October, 2013 when Gravity opened in cinemas and I was one of the first people who saw it on its opening day. The cinema was rather surprisingly empty, mimicking the vast space where this film was mostly set. It became a box-office phenomenon a …

Amadeus Movie
I had missed the movie Amadeus when it first came out, so I’ve discovered it only recently, having rented a tape from our local library. It was surprisingly good. F. Murray Abraham is unforgettable as Salieri, the court composer struggling with jealousy and questioning God’s decision to give an …
War (movie)

Che: Part One, starring Benicio Del Toro
I had read a few reviews of the movie “Che” starring Benicio Del Toro, and most of them complained that it was too long at over 4 hours, and that it dragged on and was not interesting enough to hold the viewers’ attention for that long. The other night I …
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …
Cleaner (2007)
Cleaner the movie is running short than 2 hours but I think it is not that bad of a movie. This is about a crime story and at first when my sister brought this DVD movie home, I thought it’s another funny comedy flick or something. But once …
Superman Returns (2006)
Why oh why of why!!! Why is it that whenever a remake of a Superman Movie is done, the only character that they seem to pair as his nemesis is always Lex Luthor. Look at the extremely large list of enemies that Superman has, choose a different character to …
300 - The Movie
When one watches the trailer of the movie 300, the next words that come out of their mouths are inexplicably “WoW” or “I gotta watch this.” We’ll I am writing this review to tell you that it is a VERY GOOD idea to follow your instincts because …
Enchanted
