Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
We finally got around to watching the second to last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on New Years Eve.
I still think the first couple movies were the better movies, but this one was better than some of the later films; both when it came …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …
Secret Window Movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end. The characters are also interesting. You feel a connection with the characters and care what happens to them. …
Columbo: Caution: Murder Can Be Hazardous to Your Health movie
Columbo: Caution: Murder Can Be Hazardous to Your Health is one of the 1991 movies of the Columbo movies, and it’s one I like a lot. It guest starred George Hamilton as security guru turned reality show host, Wade Anders. In essence, think of him as John …
Movie: Christmas with the Kranks
When I first saw the movie Christmas with the Kranks, I didn’t think it would be a film I would enjoy. I have seen plenty of Tim Allen movies and have liked maybe only one or two; and I don’t go out of my way to watch those on …
2001 Space Idiocies
2001 Space Idiocies is the 4th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift and is to me the highlight of the show’s first season. As the title gives away there is a lot of riffing off of the movie 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
This episode succeeds in …
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Sometimes I watch a movie and love it so much that I just keep watching it over and over and over and over again. That’s the case with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. When I put this DVD in the player, it tends to stay …
The First Wives Club
This is probably one of the most hilarious movies I’ve ever watched. I just love Goldie Hawn and how she portrays the part of a nonsensical washed out actress. I could almost relate to Beth Midler and her insatiable appetite for food and sarcasm. Now, as for Diane Keaton, …
Middle Men (movie)
While I don’t remember seeing the movie “Middle Men” advertise on television, after reading someone’s post about it on a blog about movies I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t think that the movie was too bad at all in fact, and I thought it became …

“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader” film
I am a huge “The Chronicles of Narnia” fan. I remember it as being the first book series I ever read.
I had the privilege to attend a charity screening event attended by Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley (the main actors in the film). It was an event I’ll …
Happy feet movie
Happy Feet the Movie came on our Direct TV Pay-Per-View. It was so cute. My grandchildren loved the movie. There seem to be quite a few movies coming out about Penguins, but this one was really cute. It had a great lesson in it. …
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
This movie has been around for a few nears now but I only just watched it recently and all I knew about the Mothman was from Youtube videos which seemed really unbelievable and usually look fake. Before I watched the movie I read a bit on the real …

Airplane 2: The Sequel (1982)

Let’s start with Robert Hays, …
The Contract movie
This movie was very interesting and exciting. It was a little bit long though but it kept me interested in it. It started off very nicely and went straight into the movie. It was towards the middle and end that I felt it dragged on a little bit. It …
Movie Descent
My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …
The Dark Knight
I’m not fan of Batman and I watched this movie because it’s rated as 5 star in CinemaOnline (Malaysia) website. I even couldn’t remember the previous Batman movie.
I found it very boring and couldn’t wait for the end of the movie before the first half of the movie …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Whenever Hollywood produces a movie about superheroes that is successful at the box office, it isn’t unusual to see them attempt to make a sequel. Usually, the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a perfect example of this.
When I …
Movie Twilight

Letters to Juliet movie
As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …
Serenity movie
Serenity is a great movie but most of the people who have seen it either love it or hate it. Serenity is my favorite movie and was made as a follow up to the series Firefly by Joss Whedon that I love. Firefly was only shown for a few …
Katt Williams: American Hustle: The Movie (R, 2007)
I have never seen a stand-up comedy movie as funny as this one. I was a little weirded out by the fact that it was a “movie”–and not just a consecutive stand-up routine that was filmed. This movie featured Katt Williams and other comedians. But what …
Blood Monkey (2006)
This is a terrific horror movie that will set your nerves on end. It is filled with loads of suspense, terror and carnage. The acting is very good and the plot moves along at a nice speed, too. If you love watching movies about killer animals, you’ll really enjoy …
Indian Jones The Last crusade
Harrison Ford is a very good actor and he portrayed one of my favorite all time charachters Indiana Jones. I watched Indiana Jones the Last Crusade last night. In this movie Sean Connery played Indiana’s father and as always these movies are fast moving comical and interesting.
In …
St. Trinian’s
The movie “St. Trinian’s” failed to impress me, even though it had an excellent cast of actors such as Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton and Stephen Fry. I found the script lacked certain magic and, in certain moments, there didn’t seem to be a link between one scene …
Tron:Legacy 2010 film
I am a big fan of any movie that is science fiction of fantasy in genre, so this review will reflect that bias. Let me also just say if it gets to ’sciencie’ and over my head I may not enjoy it. Give me good visuals, characters …

21 and Over (movie)

Just my luck movie
I love watching romantic comedy movies and I watched the movie ‘Just my luck’ starring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine in the lead roles. I really like the both of these actors’ work and in this movie too they didn’t disappoint me. The movie is a nice romantic comedy …
Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …
Transformers Movie
A movie made in the likeness of a toy brand.

Requiem For a Dream
This is one of the most powerful and gut wrenching movies I have ever seen. It is brutally honest in its depiction of drug addiction and the effect it has on different people. It shows how drugs are just the tip of the pyramid when it comes …

The Kids are Alright Movie

In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …
