Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland 3D
Oh my gosh where to start on this movie. The word awesome just does not sum it up well enough. This movie was incredible, and in stunning 3D the colors, and the effects were terrific. The casting could not have been better he nailed it with the casting. Johnny …
Spanglish movie
Spanglish is a very boring movie and it completely disappointed me in every which way. Adam Sandler is a good actor, though his brilliance in acting hasn’t been noticed at the beginning of his career. He gave us many good films like Big Daddy, Punch Drunk Love and many …
Mercury Rising (1998)
This is the movie about an autistic little boy who manages to crack a cryptographic code designed by the Federal Government. His life is now in danger, but based on his sickness, and age, there is nothing he can do to fend off the people who are now on …
300 film
“300″ is a 2007 movie based on Frank Miller’s awesome graphic novel showcasing the Battle of Thermopylae between the Spartans and the massive army of King Xerxes. It is ultra violent, ultra stylized and ultra intense. It is also ultra awesome.
Pros: Where do I start? …
Ocean’s 8 movie
I love going to the cinema to watch new movies, however, a lot of the new movies turn out to be quite disappointing. Ocean’s 8 is one of those movies that can be both phenomenal and boring, so you don’t know what you’re going to get when you buy a …
Tropic Thunder
Ben Stiller’s new film Tropic Thunder has been getting a lot of heat from African Americans for Robert Downey Jr’s portrayal of a man in what is essentially blackface and from disabilities advocates, unhappy with the way the film discusses the mentally disabled by using the word “retard”. Stiller …
Heat the Movie
It’s a Warner Bros production. The movie was first screened in 1995 but I still find it one of the best action/crime movies ever made. Starring: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Ashley Judd.The movie focuses on the lives and obsession of Neil McCauley (Robert De …
Pursuit of Happiness
I enjoyed the movie “Pursuit of Happiness” with Will Smith and his son. This was a different kind of movie for Will. It was based on a true story of a man who was smart but lost everything and became homeless. After his wife left him, he had …
Prometheus 2012 Science Fiction Film
I will immediately reveal that I have given this film the rating of seven, and it should instantly make a statement about what I think of this movie. I think that this film is good, but not excellent.
I would like to make some comments about the production quality of …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is the sequel to the critically and commercially successful movie, Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock played the lead role in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous as well but the movie fails to impress the viewers who have expectations from the …
The Hangover 2 (Movie)
The Hangover 2 is the sequel to the original Hangover and released in the summer of 2011. What I will say right away is that the original Hangover and this release are incredibly similar in many ways and the second film follows many of the patterns of the first …
Annie movie
I am reviewing the movie, Annie. I am reviewing the older version of Annie, not the disney one (which was deplorable). Everybody knows the story of Annie, a little orphan who wants nothing more than to see her parents again. She lives in a dreadful orphanage with a …
Heartbreak Kid DVD
Any move with Ben Stiller is bound to be funny and the Heartbreak Kid is no exception. And now you can bring it home on DVD and enjoy it whenever you want. But it is definitely an adult comedy, rated R, so if you can make sure the kids …
Taken 2 movie
I was really excited to see this movie because I love Liam Neeson and I thought he did an amazing job in the first movie. I was also excited to see it because the first Taken was a really great movie, one of the best that I had seen …
El Cantante (R, 2007) movie
It’s amazing how you can go into a movie expecting horrible acting, and a bad plot. But Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have really tapped into a very interesting story about Hector Lavoe. Many people have never heard of this famous salsa king from New York City …
Cry-Baby (1990)
Cry-Baby, written and directed by John Waters is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date for this movie was April 6, 1990 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Musical/Romance and stars Johnny Depp as Wade ‘Cry-Baby’ Walker, Amy …
Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …
Movie Alvin and the Chipmunks
Growing up we would hear about this crazy cartoon called Alvin and the Chipmunks. There were cartoons on television, there were records made with these three adorable little creatures and the nation just could not get enough of them
This past Christmas season there was a movie called Alvin …

The movie begins right where it left off in the first one. (Crank) Chev Chelios is falling out of a helicopter towards the street. The trailer show him unconscious on an operation table. He wakes up to find out that his heart has been replaced with a temporary one …
The Siege (1998) movie
This was part two of the dvd two pack that my dad recently purchased so I decided to watch this one too. He said he had seen it before and that he enjoyed it so that sounded good enough for me to check it out.
The plot of this …
Archipelago (movie)
I love watching independent films, especially ones from countries around the world. Therefore, what this means is that I sometimes go searching for new ones and get excited whenever I hear of one that’s really good. Well, recently I’d been hearing a lot about an independent film named …
Boogeyman 2 Movie
Boogeyman 2 isn’t the kind of movie that you absolutely love or absolutely hate; it’s more the kind of movie that leaves everyone feeling like it was only okay or so-so. That was how I felt after watching it anyway. I originally saw the preview for the movie while …
Saving Private Ryan movie
Steven Spielberg’s oscarwinning depiction of the d-day during World War II when the american army invaded Normandy in France to fight the germans. The opening 15 minutes of the film is incredibly intense and well-directed with possibly the most realistic war scenes ever filmed. After that the film turns …
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …

The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things (R, 2006)
Those who have become familiar with the acting (and now directing) style of Asia Argento will more than likely love this film. The daughter of Italian film director Dario Argento is known for her stint in the American action cheese puff 2002 film “XXX” (starring Vin Diesel.) …

Alamo Draft House Austin TX
Where else in Austin, Texas can you watch a great movie and drink beer and eat pizza at the same time? The Alamo Draft House is the place to do it all! The Alamo Draft House is a favorite among Austinites simply because of the novelty of being able …
RedBox Kiosk to Rent Movies
I have lived in several states over the past few years and each place I lived had a RedBox kiosk somewhere close by. Usually the kiosk was located at Wal-Mart or Kroger.
I have only had two incidents with using RedBox, but was compensated for each infraction. Twice I …
Tropic Thunder, Thunderously Funny
If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
I normally don’t go for the action-adventure movies; however, Jack Black and Ben Stiller have always provided hilarious comedic …
Lowes 20 & 287 Theatre
While we were in Arlington Texas, my son and I had to find a movie theater, there is just so much walking you can do and we just wanted to relax for the evening. We found a theater that was around twenty minutes from the Sheraton that we …

To Sir With Love
“To Sir with Love” is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I still cry every time I see the movie. I think it is the ultimate teacher movie ever. The 1967 Columbia British Productions movie was filmed in color and lasts …
Movie Quarentine (2008)
Quarantine is a horror movie that came out in 2008. It was directed by a man named John Erick Dowdle. He also wrote the screenplay. I have never heard of this director before and am not aware if he has done any other movies. However, he did a …
Monsters versus Aliens Movie (2009)
I thought this was a pretty good movie at first when I saw the preview on HBO, it’s a science fiction cartoon movie and I haven’t really caught this on the big screen so I was excited to watch this on my new tv set. This movie features Reese …
For Colored Girls (2010 Film)
I remember running across the movie title “For Colored Girls” on the internet movie database one evening. When viewing the list of people included in the movie, I was instantly intrigued because each main actress in the movie was a familiar face and known to be good.
For Colored …

The Edge of Seventeen (2016 Coming-of-Age Film)
Seriously? Another coming-of-age/young adult movie? Well yes, that is what I expected when I watched this film last night. However, when the film ended, I accused myself of immediately judging the book by its own cover. What happens inside this movie is structurally the same as almost any young adult …
Lucky Number Slevin
This is one of the fewest movies that the ending really makes the movie. It had Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Lucy Liu, Ben Kingsley, and some other good actors. This movie kept me entertained and interested in the whole entire movie. You do have to pay a …
Australia Movie
The movie lasted almost 3 hours. The reason why I watched this in silver screen is the because of Baz Lhurman. I was entertained with Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge. I have been eager to go to Australia as well. I thought this movie had a historical …
Waydowntown movie
I rented this film because the premise, I thought, was great: (4) employees at some drab corporate company make a wager on who can remain indoors (the entire downtown “hub” is connected by a series of enclosed walkways) for 6 months. It seems like a quirky, …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith movie
I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …
Premonition
Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …
“In the Loop” movie 2009
In the loop is a political satire that is at times somewhat funny, but other times grossly overdone. The profanity is so extreme that it makes the film seem too unrealistic even for a satire. This film gives character to a hypothetical U S Government, and a hypothetical U K …
The Grudge 2
The Grudge 2 is a sequel to The Grudge or as I say a very lame sequel to the Grudge. They overplayed the grudge lady to much and went into her passed. And instead of being a poor woman that was murdered by her husband it turned out that …
The Brave One
I am reviewing the movie, The Brave One, starring Jodi Foster and Terrance Howard. Jodi Foster plays a character who gets assaulted in the park, with her fiance. They are beaten within an inch of their lives. Their dog is stolen, and they are left for dead. Her …
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie
Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire is sure another magical movie based on the book by J.K. Rowling. You can’t deny that the movie is a great one that you can’t blind your eyes. I always love each and every one of the series. I would totally recommend …
Underworld: Evolution
It has been a couple of years since I saw the movie Underworld. So, when the sequel, Underworld: Evolution, came on television last night, I had some serious catching up to do.
Overall, I would say the second film in the series is the better of the two. The plot, …
Blade of the Vampire movie
This movie should not be confused with any of the movies in the Blade trilogy. In fact, that is how I actually watched it since I made the mistake of thinking that “Blade of the Vampire” was actually one of them. However, after watching it I was very disappointed …
