The idea of Hard Rain is quite simple: a storm has caused a whole town to be overflooded which results in chaos for an armored truck guard played by Christian Slater. He is forced to hide the money from his truck not to risk it getting stolen, but is …
Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
Lord of War (2005 film)
I have always admired propaganda films for the boldness of their script and their natural rebellious nature. Perhaps the most sucker punching film of the highest production values is Lord of War.
Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage) has a talent for smuggling weapons, a talent that …

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie
*SPOILER ALERT!*
I watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince today, the first day it came out, and I must say I was a bit disappointed. I read reviews and also heard from my friends who watched Harry Potter and the midnight show that it was kind of bad, …
Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Movie
This is a classic story that will send you sobbing and crying after you watch it. I felt so terrified and traumatic after watching this, it’s not really a good film to be watched by people who are paranoid or who are easily affected and easily worried and sensitive …
Erin Brokovich Movie
In my opinion, Erin Brokovich is by far the best movie Julia Roberts has ever made. It’s great to see her star in something much more relevant and worthwhile than so many of her other offerings.
It tells the story of (no surprises here), Erin Brokovich, who is a …
See No Evil (R, 2006) movie
Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …
Shake Rattle and Roll 9 Movie
It was christmas vacation when we had a reunion and went to Sm Dasmarinas to watch a movie. We had planned to see each other at the cinema. We were very excited eventhough we haven’t decided yet what movie are we going to watch. It wasn’t long until we …

Shawshank Redemption movie
Movies have always been a source of joy, happiness and sorrow at the same time. But every once in a while comes along a movie which inspires you and makes you feel that this movie has enriched your life. For me there is no better example than shawshank redemption. …
The Outer Limits : “Essence of Life” episode
As I skimmed through the episodes of The Outer Limits on DVD, I ran across one that was only slightly less nauseating than some of the others. In “Essence of Life”, a mysterious vial of liquid possesses the ability to “reincarnate” the image of the deceased, if sniffed …

A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
Movie Ishtar
When this thing came out in the late 1980’s, it was slammed so roundly by a mass group of film critics that I didn’t even bother to go see it. I did, however, decide to “treat” myself to a cable television presentation of it not long ago …

Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)
With the over abundance of vampire movies and television shows out and coming out it only makes sense that someone would come out with a spoof of these entertaining videos, but isn’t a spoof supposed to be funny? Sure, “Vampires Suck” has some funny points, maybe about three of …
Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 (movie)
I did not get a chance to go and see Breaking Dawn part 1 while it was in theaters, so my anticipation had been building ever since I saw the previews for the DVD release. I, myself, did not end up purchasing the movie; instead, a relative of mine …

Nora Ephron’s “Julie and Julia” 2009 film
I’m not exactly a big cinematic buff, and tend to prefer reading to watching films. However, Nora Ephron’s much hailed Julie and Julia tempted me with excellent cast, and when a couple of my friends recommended the film to me, I was really hoping to catch it in the …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a crazy musical that is raunchy and often inappropriate for the mainstream and yet is funny and delightful to watch. The language is way too much for my tastes, but I choose to grit my way through this movie because I …
Twilight (PG-13, 2008)
I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …

Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …

Hidalgo isn’t an oscar worth film nor does it do anything that spectacular, but this shouldn’t turn you away from this movie, especially if you enjoy adventure films. The story tells the story of a man and his horse and there adventure across the desert. The problem …

13 Going on 30
When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …

DVD Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.
I’ve been reviewing several of Paul Naschy’s films on here lately. Naschy was Spain’s reigning king of horror in the late …
Blood for Dracula
I have to say, I never really understood the fuss over Andy Warhol movies. I saw the film Blood for Dracula the other night. While the movie sounded good in the description (Dracula is growing old and needs virgin blood to survive); the movie itself was actually one of …

Movie Funny Girl
