City of God (crime drama movie)
When I watched the 2002 crime drama “City of God” recently, I just found it hard to believe that a film so good had escaped my notice for so many years. The thing is it’s one of those films whose plot revolves around gangsters, life in the ghetto and gang …
Film “I love you Beth Cooper”
This movie is about a common theme in teen films. It is the end of high school and a nerd decides to tell the popular girl he loves that he loves her. He is the valedictorian and decides to do so in his commencement speech where …
9 Songs movie
This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …
Transformers
Transformers. Once again the world of comic books strikes it big in the box office. Transformers has been popular since it’s debut early in July. For the most part I enjoyed the film. The special effects are to be commended. Shia LeBouf does a great job as the boy-next-door …
Tesla - Comin’ Atcha Live! 2008 DVD
I recently bought The Comin’ Atcha Live 2008 concert Dvd live in Minnesota by The Hard Rock band Tesla and it is one of the best Live DVD’s. Although the band Tesla is underrated and it shows with this smaller club venue, but at least they sold it out …
Holiday in Handcuffs
ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …
BUTTERFLY EFFECT MOVIE
How many of us have ever wondered, if we had made a different choice over what seemed a tiny thing, spontaneous things just done; would life be different for ourselves and, also, for others? I know I have. THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is ALL about how one man manages to …
Movie: “Mindhunters”
I can’t recommend “Mindhunters” passionately enough: it’s so much more than just action; it’s a deep psychological thriller that will have you guessing at every turn.
Rather than just introducing mindless FBI drones, the movie presents a cast of rich characters, all with their own strengths and frailties. They are …
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (2000 movie)
This takes us on a journey of self discovery, where war is a thing of the past (for a year) and peace is being challenged by a new breed of dictators. The Gundams have served their purpose are were decommissioned…and were to be destroyed. After the uprising, the Gundams …
S.W.A.T movie
This movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and LL Cool J. This is really a good movie and everyone can just learn a lot from it. Everyone can truly appreciate the work of SWAT members.
Jim Street (Colin Farrell) made a big mistake in his mission when …
The Transporter (2002) movie
The Transporter, directed by Corey Yuen and Louis Leterrier is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for violent sequences and some sensuality. The original release date was October 11, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars Jason Statham …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
Robot & Frank (2012)
This is a movie about an elderly man. Yes, it’s got a robot in it and, yes, the old man used to be a cat burglar, but it’s still a movie about an old person. That may not excite some of the younger generation. But for those of us …
Akeelah and the Bee
Akeelah and the Bee is a sweet movie that is good for the whole family. It is about a young African American girl who lives in a poor part of the city. Her school is falling apart and not known for being a good school. Akeelah is her …
Prince of Persia (the movie)
I just watch the Prince of Persia movie with my friends in a cinema near my office. Expecting a great movie, especially because prince of persia already well known for the games and they also has a lot of commercial in the television. I feel so sure that this …
Movie Monsters Inc
Pixar’s 2001 release, Monsters Inc., is probably my least favorite Pixar movie ever released. For some reason, I cannot forget that Billy Crystal and John Goodman are the voice actors in this movie. Its difficult to explain, but Tom Hanks becomes Woody, and Owen Wilson becomes Lightning …
The Holiday movie
The Holiday is a movie about two women who switch houses for a holiday. Both are rather depressed and without partners, and in need of a big change in their lives. Cameron Diaz plays the frustrated Amanda, and Kate Winslet plays Iris. Iris seems overall more stable and centered …
The Bunny Guards vs The Wicked Forces of Evil movie
This is some kind of parody on fantasy movies and video games. Some computer nerds enter a most complex world that seem to have mixed Lord of the Rings and tons of other fantasy material together. These nerds start governing the whole system with their new powers and appear …
Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …
Prozac Nation (movie)
“Prozac Nation” was one of those movies that I didn’t know about until very long after when I had seen it on cable television. The only reason why I even watched it at the time was because I was still fascinated with the actress Christina Ricci, and wanted to …
The Prestige movie
The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …
The Rebound movie
This movie stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a mother of two recently separated from her unfaithful husband.
This may contain spoilers. This movie really wasn’t about anything except a rebound who happens to be a younger man who is termed a boy because he doesn’t really know what he’s doing with …
Movie My First Wedding
“My First Wedding” is a beautiful romantic comedy about marriage and getting cold feet. The true assist of this movie are the brilliant actors in the main roles, Rachel Leigh Cook and Kenny Doughty.
Most people may remember Leigh Cook from her part in “She’s All That” and the …
Shutter Island (2010 film)
Martin Scorsese won me with The Departed and continued his amazing streak of great movies with Shutter Island-a psychological thriller motion picture for which I thought that I literraly watched in one breath although throughout the film I was usually out of one.
Tedy Daniels …
Baby Mama (2008)
Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …

Miss Congeniality
The actress, Sandra Bullock is very much related to light hearted, feel good movies and “Miss Congeniality” is one of these movies. “Miss Congeniality” success is greatly based on Bullock’s acting abilities and a great script that includes action, adventure, humour and romance all mixed up together.
In this movie …

Are We Done Yet movie
As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?
Are We Done Yet isn’t anything I haven’t seen before and, other than …
Wimbledon (2004)
This movie is about tennis in all its glory. Nothing more, nothing less. They try to toss in a love story in it but that was dashed asunder on the rocks below as this movie failed to even grasp and hold you until the very end of the movie. …
Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters
I loaded another Looney Tunes Cartoon on our Netflix Player the other day for our daughter “Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters.” It was an OK movie but not as good as I expected.
When I loaded it, I figured it would be a cute spoof of the show Ghost Busters, or at …

Fever Lake (1996) movie

Limitless (2011) Movie
If I had to describe limitless in one word, I would describe it as intelligent. Normally when we get a movie that isn’t either a comedy or a horror movie, nine times out of ten, I’m not that into it.
Limitless is an awesome Sci-Fi thriller about a writer …
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite of all Wes Anderson’s movies, and, alongside several other films, is one of my favorites overall. The script, written by Both Anderson and frequent collaborator (and star) Owen Wilson (and nominated for an Academy Award), is, in my opinion, one of the finest …
The Bible … In the Beginning movie
The Bible … In the Beginning is a huge John Huston epic that tells the story of the Book of Genesis from the Bible. It’s not without its controversy, however, primarily with the opening Garden of Eden sequence in which male and female nudity is shown. That …
Pride and Prejudice (2005 Film)
Before watching the 2005 film, “Pride and Prejudice” assumptions where made about how the film would be boring and dragging on for the entire two hours and nine minutes that would be spent watching it. I had honestly assumed that it would be similar to all other great love …

Pathfinder, Marcus Nispel Movie
