Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
I think Final Fantasy: The Spirtis Within is half a brillaint movie. That half woiould be with regard to the look of the film. This is a pure CGI movie that broke ground with its animations. It is certainly amazing in that regard.
I think this is the most realistic …

What I liked about this movie: To be honest, I wasn’t really expecting too much from the movie. But, it turned out to be a …
Beowulf
When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …
A Cinderella Story Movie
When I found out that there will be a Cinderella Story, I wonder if it will be the same as Ever After, the movie of Drew Barrymore, but it was way different. Being Hillary Duff as the lead, Sam Montgomery , a youthful version of Cinderella came out.
It was …
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)
I remember seeing the ads for this movie when it first hit theaters several years ago. I had no idea what the storyline was. All I knew was that it was about a girl and her dog, and that alone was enough to make me want to see it. …
Brother Bear movie

Extraordinary animated movie considering the mere visual area, but it really doesn’t have anything …
Sunshine DVD Movie
When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …
The Happening movie
M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …

In the movie, Kiki (played by Julia Roberts), is the personal assistant of the beautiful superstar Gwen (Catherine …
Valkyrie: Movie
I thought that Valkyrie was a decent, very-well executed movie made better for me by the fact that it was based on true, historical events.
I think that the story is a very powerful one to tell, as not much is remembered of the Germans who hated Hitler as much …
The Incredible hulk
The incredible hulk which is the second part of the movie The Hulk, is overall a nice action movie but still not as good as the first part. In the second part the hero of the movie who is actually the hulk, desperately run around to change his genetic …
Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machine Movie
This film failed in comparison to the two previous films. Not only did it fail to live up to the other two it introduces a female Terminator with limited technological advancement. The T-1000 of Judgement Day was the best of all Terminators. The conclusion to the trilogy left viewers …

Bad News Bears (2005 movie)
Remake of a classic…this movie lives up to the reputation that The Bad News Bears have been known for. It does not disappoint the original stories that it’s being based on. But it’s time for a reality check…this movie was never a good one to start off with. It …

Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo movie
Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo was a real shocker when it came out in 1991. I remember reading the buzz about it. Would they really kill off Columbo’s unseen but much loved wife? The made for TV movie actually starts with Mrs. Columbo’s funeral. …
The Revenant (2015 Historical Drama Movie)

Kramer versus Kramer is not a recent movie and it is all for some years on dvd available but in my opinion it is a movie that you can see every year without boring you.

The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …
Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
I love movies. I love them. They are one my passions in life. “Alien” and “Aliens”, along with “Predator” are incredibly frightening, hardcore movies which I enjoy with every bit of fanboyish delight that they deserve. So it would make sense that if you take …

Movie Waterworld
The movie Waterworld was on cable the other night and, because I haven’t seen it in a while, I decided to sit down and watch it.
I remembered it being much better than it turned out to be.
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I will say he put …
Movie Shrek 3
I loved the first movie of Shrek, and my family and I watched over and over again. Too funny! WE also saw Shrek 2 and I thought that the movie was good, which is pretty crazy for a second. Usually second movies are not worth the money that you …

The plot tells of a teacher …
Pride and Prejudice, 2005
I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say. I didn’t expect much, and therefore wasn’t very disappointed. Keira Knightley is cute (perhaps a little too cute for Elizabeth) and pretty …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …

Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …
Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors
