Blades of Glory Movie (2007)
Not many people realize that the movie “Blades of Glory” is meant to be a spoof of the internationally acclaimed sport of ice-skating. If you want a movie that’s not a spoof, rent one of the all-time sports hero classics like “Rocky” or something of that nature. …

This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …
Never Been Kissed Movie

Movie Anger Management
If you want to watch a good movie and forget about any stress you may have, well don’t choose to watch “Anger Management”. This is an incredible hiliarious movie with the actors, Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson at their best in opposite roles. I believe that if you are …
Duplex film starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore

ZA: Zombies Anonymous
OK, I’m a fan of Zombie movies, that’s no secret. So, I decided to give ZA: Zombies Anonymous a try just for the heck of it.

I feel like a child again, caught in a world of fantasy and make-belief; and everything will turn out all right if I behave myself and try harder.
The starting music sets the pace it is catchy and rocking. I feel affection and compassion for Mumble, the …
The English Patient
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.
What is so fascinating about this movie is that it consists of two love stories - …
Die Hard 4.0 Movie Starring Bruce Willis

Movie Cloverfield
I finally had a chance to watch Cloverfield on DVD. I have to admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a real story with enough footage that I could actually see what was happening, not another attempt at the Blairwitch Project. Just …

40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …
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 …
Alien 1979 Movie
I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …

Kill Gill
I’ve been disappointed by most of the Simpsons holiday specials lately. But, last night’s Christmas special was pretty decent.

Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora.

Blood of the Beasts movie
This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …
Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
The Quiet (R, 2005)
Here is yet another movie that I’ve been skipping over in my Netflix queue. I thought at first that because the film starred Elisha Cuthbert, that it would be one of those silly little flicks with little substance. Tween thrillers are very rarely that entertaining to …
Disturbia
My personal opinion about this movie, Disturbia is that Shia LaBeouf acted really well and he had given such a good performance in all. Disturbia is quite a disturbing movie, but in a positive way.
It has helped to churn out scary feelings and thoughts out of my …
