Rocky IV
I haven’t watched any Rocky movies in a while. But, I was up with my daughter the other night and came across Rocky IV.
This is still one of the better Rocky movies ever made; even when it is cut up for television broadcast. Watching Rocky take on a guy …
Amelie (romantic comedy movie)
After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.
The movie revolves around the very peculiar …

The Man from U.N.C.L.E is a spy movie. It is based off the TV show of the same name which kept running from 1964 to 1968. Before viewing this movie I didn’t knew anything about it. Without a doubt I had low desires from it on the grounds that I …

Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …

Movie Speed Racer
Don’t watch this movie if you have a migraine or sensitive to lights. I had a migraine when we first popped this in to watch and after 15 minutes had to turn it off I was so nauseous. The colors are so vivid and bright and then …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …

Pit and the Pendulum movie
This avantgarde film by Jan Svankmajer depicts the classic horror story by Edgar Allan Poe in a most original way. Svankmajer always used the style that pleased him the very most, not bothering about the commercial success or anything of the kind. Film is a pure art form for …
The Return movie
I went to see “The Return” today and I can tell you this movie surprises me. When I first went into the movie theatre, I thought this movie was just another ghost movie. However, I went to watch it anyway because Sarah Michelle Gellar is on of my favorite …

During the early to mid ’60s, renowned horror film writer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. The third installment to a set of three definitive splatter films, known as “The Blood Trilogy”, Color Me Blood Red kept the “blood” theme going strong. After viewing the film, …
Total eclipse
I have watched the movie ‘Total eclipse’. The director is Agnieszka Holland. The actors are Leonardo DiCaprio, David and Romane. This is not so interesting to watch and has been shot rather poorly. David has played the role of Paul verlaine and Leonardo has played the role of Arthur.
It …
X Men: First Class, movie
I was not expecting much from this movie. Not much at all. I am not a great fan of Wolverine and a few other mutants, my favorites being Magneto and Charles Xavier. Thankfully, this movie focused on them. I found this a good thing and bad thing. While I …
Spider-man (2002)
One of the few comic book remakes into a like action movie that was good to me. Spider-man played by Tobey Maguire, is so believable and so imaginative, it is amazing. This movie shows how he gained his spider powers, although, in the comic, he gained his powers in …
Flight Movie
I already knew that Denzel Washington was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for this film before I watched it. Thus, I was expecting this film to be somehow good. I thought it was some aviation disaster film or a terrorist-inspired aviation film. However, the movie was …
The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …

Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …

The Call of the Wild, film (2020)
On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …
Crazy as Hell film
Crazy as Hell is a horror-suspence,drama movie directed by eriq la salle.It is about an African american egotistical psychiatrist Dr. Adams who is producing a documentary about the patients of a mental hospital..He is also emotionally damaged about the death of his own daughter who committed suicide.This was due …
Eat Pray Love movie
My husband would call this a definite “Chick” flick. No action, no thrills, just relationships and love. My feminist “hackles” go up when he says that and I feel slightly guilty to admit that I “kinda” liked this movie.
It’s not a new story …
Ghostrider
Nicholas Cage seems to make like ten movies a year. Okay, maybe not that many, but he definitely puts out like two per year. Three years ago he came out with Lord of War and The Weatherman back to back. I liked Lord of War but not so much …
The Sound Of Music movie
Here is another favorite film of mine and of many others I know. Everyone must have seen the wild actics of this strange family and the new comer to the household. I even got me a whistle. “The hills are alive” hmmm, are they really, “with the sound of …
Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …
Thunder Cats
“Thunder Cats” was one of the cartoons I can remember watching with my cousins when I was still a young child, as, although the show was released in the mid to late eighties, one of our local television channels would bring it on weekday afternoons in the nineteen nineties. …
Richard Attenborough’s Chaplin (movie)

Washington Square movie
This is a remake of the 1949 classic titled “The Heiress,” starring Olivia de Havilland. While the original is hard to beat, the remake is actually not too bad. Of course, there are some rather questionable additions and a definite feminist touch, but what else can you expect from …

Foul Play movie
I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …
Parents movie
Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …
The House Bunny
When I got the movie The House Bunny, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to expect from it. On one hand, it looked like it would be a cute, funny movie. On the other, it looked like it might be pushing the limits a bit and could simply be …
Halloween film
This movie defines the word fear. Very rarely am I scared by movie long after I have seen it. But Halloween did that to me. This is THE scariest movie I have ever seen. This movie is proof that you don’t need young teenage girls …
The Remains of the Day
I am so glad I have found this treasure of a movie. A forgotten treasure, unfortunately; I have never heard of it before, neither have I heard other people mention it. I hope this review will help to draw much deserved attention to this thoughtful, well-acted, well-paced production. I …
Movie Sister Act 2
Just one year from Sister Act 1, we got to see on big screen the actress, Whoopi Goldberg re-interpret the role of Sister Mary Clarence in “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit”. I must admit that this movie is good; however it isn’t as great at the first …

ATM (2012 horror movie)
I had to admit that the plot for the horror movie “ATM” was certainly unique. It was that which made me interested in viewing it in the first place, even though I honestly had to wonder about how such a plot would be sustainable for an entire feature length film. …
Harry Brown 2009
