I wasn’t setting the bar too high for “The Muppets,” this year’s reboot of the eponymous franchise. I basically walked in with the mere hope that Jason Segel (of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame) and his collaborators weren’t going to run it even further into the ground (1999’s “Muppets from …

Childhood is a beautiful time. Everyone had a lot of plans for the future. Everyone wanted to do something great and become known throughout the country. We built some exciting inventions and tried to create something new, although there was not much sense in these inventions.
It’s in the …

Independence Day is one of my all-time favorite films. Some of my favorite actors are in this movie, including Jeff Goldblum - who, as usual, plays a highly intelligent guy with answers to very important questions - and Will Smith who adds an incredible amount of action to the …

My kids were raised reading comic books, and since my husband likes them I have come to appreciate Marvel movies. My husband’s favotire character is Captain American and we have seen nearly every movie that has come out. The most recent movie that we watched (or rather rented) was …

I bought a copy of this movie because the cover catch my attention. I thought that it was not that good since at the start of the film it was more about stealing and being greedy, yet while I was watching it, I became more eager to finish the …

First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …

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 …

Oz The Great and Powerful tries so hard to be epic. It has a very entertaining feeling. There are aspects of the movie that are brilliant and there were things that I thought needed some work. Sometimes I thought the pacing of the film was a little off and …

I am reviewing the new version of Pride and Prejudice that was made in 2006, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth and Matthew MacFadyen as Darcy. Others starring included Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn. After watching this version after the A&E version starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, …

Envy is a drama movie starred by ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Rachel Weisz. If we watch this movie, we will get a lot of message to us because the story maybe is the same with our life.
The story is about two bestfriends Tim (Ben Stiller) and Nick (Jack …

This movie was actually pretty good. Most of the main characters managed to capture the essence of the lives they were supposed to play, but some did not. Mos Def played Chuck Berry and did an outstanding job portraying one of the pioneers of what we now know as …

Bear with me, because I have to type these 3 names because they are amazing. I watched Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell) the other day and it was super hilarious. There can never be a movie close to it, except for movies starring …

I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.
I …

What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …

“Head over Heels” is a cute romantic movie about how a young girl’s life can change from a disasterous moment to even more disasters when she meets the good looking hank that lives in the opposite from her building.
In this movie we see how Amanda (Monica Potter) is head …

Lasse Hallstrom, a swedish filmmaker, has spent most of his career in Hollywod, and Gilbert Grape is probably his most successful film next to The Ciderhouse Rules and Chocolat. Johnny Depp appears as Gilbert and Leonardo DiCaprio as is austistic younger brother. They have a hard life out in …

I’m not really much of a karate fan. The word karate sent my thoughts to Asia where these bunch of really flexible asians start kicking some sorry guys’ ass and while they’re at it, they utter a lot of chinese that would make me go, “what the efff are …

I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …

My first and foremost pick-up line would be, ‘Go and watch Ocean�s Thirteen.’ It really is worth your money. Every time an Ocean sequel is make, it gets even better. This time, the plot is about revenge. Revenge on a newly about to be launched …

I found “The Couple” to be an engaging, entertaining movie. The October 2006 movie is just the latest in what has almost become a genre in filmmaking: the efforts to prevent Jews from going to a concentration camp and to rescue them from Nazi Germany.
I like the story of …

This was a really good movie. John Cusack does an amazing job in it. He adopts this little boy who tells everyone he is from “red planet”. All of the actors do a really good job in it. The movie kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. There are …

As time goes by and the inevitable process of growing up takes its course, certain things that I used to love back when I was smaller seem quite stupid now, especially some of the things I enjoyed like movies and television shows. The acting seems really bad, along with …

This is another fun horror movie about some mutant fish that invade the Louisiana Bayou. The movie stars Mark Dippe and Tory Kittles. I admit I was unsure what to expect when I first picked it up, mainly due to the movie’s name. But the movie was surprisingly good! …

Sydney white is about a girl who goes to college and enters a fraternity. She doesn’t really fit in with the other girls there so she wanders off and meets these guys who live off campus. The guys are sort of nerds and the girl fits in with them …

“Proof” is a 2005 color movie in English lasting 99 minutes. Location work was filmed in Chicago. In someways “Proof” is a knockoff of “A Beautiful Mind” featuring Russell Crowe. “Proof” is not as well done as “A Beautiful Mind,” but still a good movie. In this movie Gwyneth …

I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
The movie was first released …

This is it, I’m not even holding myself by immediately saying, “I found my favorite film of the year.” Because what guys? It’s everything and more that I wanted from director John Carney. I’m still definitely in awe since last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found …

This movie is a real gem. Peter Falk plays Abel Shaddick, an angry old man who seems to hate everyone and everything. However, Falk manages to make his character interesting rather than totally unlikable: we want to know the reason of his anger, and as we suspect that the …

My wife dragged me to see this one. I didn’t know what to expect other than few of my favourite actors namely Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman. Also it is directed by Tim Burton and I quite like the collaboration between Tim Burton …

This was on the television the other day and I have never seen it so I decided to watch it. Honestly it didn’t live up to it’s expectations. I wasn’t entertained or interested in the movie as much as I should have been. I became bored watching the movie. …

A french journalist is innocently accused of murder and sent to The Devil’s Island. He manages to escape miraculously and returns to Marseille to join a band of rebels there.
Old Humphrey Bogart is excellent as always in this forgotten piece by Michael Curtiz. Incredibly intense and engaging from start …

I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill, and I love grindhouse films. I hate Death Proof. I like what Quentin Tarantino was aiming for while making the movie; capturing all of the classic grindhouse car chase scenes, hot girls, and fighting, but overall, it could have been so …

This movie is about a classical dance instructor you witnesses the destruction on a school principals car, comes to school the following day to report on the matter, offers his services to take over the detention of the students in order to better educate them in the ways of …

I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …

This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …

Another installment to the Final Destination series, Final Destination 4 follows the aftermath of a young man’s premonition at a race track. Nick is spending the day with his girlfriend and two friends at a beat up race track. When he sees a prophetic vision of their …

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a movie that stars Jack Nicholson at Murphy. Murphy is a patient in a mental institution. I have to tell you, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a very sad film. It is not the kind of movie you watch to …

The second movie in the National Treasure Series was fantastic, even though I had never expected them to make another. And they took it up to a whole other level, it was really something. There was action and mystery like in the first, but less factual stuff, and more …

For the amount of recognizeable talent in this movie, I made the mistake of thinking that it had to be good and I neglected to check out reviews of it before I spent the $10.50 on a movie ticket to go see it.
The plotline was horrible. It was …

I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …

When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …

I had heard that Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ was not one of his best and it is sometimes even said that it is not very good. I gave it a go though as it was on TV recently and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I think Hitchcock is …

“Where the Heart is” is one of the best warm, fuzzy movies that you will ever watch. It is an amazing tale of a young woman who finds herself in some awful messes but comes out very well in the end because she sticks with her convictions. Her boyfriend …

The Road to Hollywood from 1947 was a biography of sorts about the success of crooner, Bing Crosby. This was the such type of production from filmmaker Bud Pollard who had done a piece like this on Danny Kaye the year before.
Pollard serves as the host of The …

Wow, this movie was funny (of course it had Eddie Murphy, the king of laughs in it) and actually had good morals to it. It is basically about a Dad that finds himself without job and being the typical guy that he is, he desperately wants to find something …
