Movies Reviews
Hidalgo (2004)
I tried to watch this movie so many times before and it just didn’t appeal to me in any way, shape or form, but that was until I had nothing else to watch on cable one night and it was on, so I decided to give it a try …
“Men who hate women” movie
Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …
The Accidental Tourist movie
After watching this movie I started to be a great fan of William Hurt’s acting abilities. I must say that I also observed his performance in the more recent “The Good Shepard” and it seems that Hurt hasn’t lost his touch! Unfortunately, although “The Accidental Tourist” is all about …
The Bucket List (movie)
Two of my favorite actors in the same movie! The Bucket List stars Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter. Edward and Carter meet while in the hospital because both men are dying of cancer. Now the plot sounds pretty trite, but it is Jack Nicholson and …
Spanglish movie
I am reviewing the movie, Spanglish, which came out last year. It stars Adam Sandler as John Clasky, who is an incredible chef and father of two children. His wife is played by Tea Leoni, who is an eccentric, emotionally disturbed woman trying to live life how …
Rush Hour 3
Rush Hour 3 was everything I had hoped for after seeing Rush Hour 1 & 2. The second sequel was filled with action and humor, and follows a plot that will keep one interested the whole way through.
The movie focuses on the reserved Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), who is …
Death Becomes Her (1992)
A more original plot you will never find or even dream of coming across in some lost text. Even if this movie is a remake or not, it has some great appeal and can easily be considered in my books of falling under the heading of an instant classic …
Joe’s Apartment (1996)
Joe is a young man who has just moved from his home town of Iowa to New York and he is looking for somewhere cheap to rent, he finds the perfect place, it is a bit run down and could use some maintenance, but it is livable. Now comes …
Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …
Meet Joe Black (1998 movie)
Two strangers (Brad Pitt and Claire Forlani) make acquaintance in a local coffee shop, and instant chemistry is formed. Both being a little shy in nature, they lefft the coffee shop knowing just a little information about the other. As fate would have it, as they are walking away, …
Rocky Balboa
I would have to say that I love all Sylvester Stallone movies. Although I didn’t like this one as much as the other ones at one part of the movie my view was completely changed and grasped. What I love about this movie is it is soooo inspirational. Anytime …
Little Children Movie
Little Children is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. When the movie first came out I tried to get some of my friends to go see it and they didn’t think it looked good so I ended up seeing it by myself. I liked …
Let’s Go To Prison DVD Movie
Another DVD movie that I have watched would be Let’s Go To Prison. This movie stars Dax Shepard, a career criminal. This movie is about his revenge on a judge that has put him away to jail. His revenge is because of the fact that he …
Alpha Dog (R, 2006) movie
Justin Timberlake is of course, the draw for this film. But he’s not really the one who makes the most impact. I liked that he was in it. And for some reason, I felt that it wasn’t too far a stretch from how he really acts …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …
Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
Death Note, Netflix movie
This movie, created by Netflix, is a live action take on the anime Death Note. I will say right now that the anime version is easily one of my favorite shows, and when I heard that Netflix was creating this I was excited but didn’t really expect much from it. …
Oklahoma musical
Oklahoma is a sprawling musical that has the most beautiful scenery. The opening with Curly riding along through the fields and singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning is a smiler. They don’t make movies like this anymore, and that’s a tragedy.
Gordon MacRae is brilliant as Curly, the …
The Game Plan Movie
Dwayne Johnson is hot. There is no doubt about it. And it gets even better seeing him star opposite a little girl star Madison Pettis. This is about a famous foot ball player who doesn’t know that he has a daughter, and the girl shows up on his doorstep. …
Return of the Blind Dead, movie (1973)
I first came across Tombs of the Blind Dead unintentionally. I stumbled across it while looking through Netflix. Hearing good things about it, I watched it and I loved it. A few years later, I had a chance to see the sequel. As much as …

Tom Hooper’s biographical movie “The King’s Speech”
On the rare occasion when I spare the money to see a film when it is first released to the cinematic theatres, I tend to be cautious: it is easy to turn off my TV or switch between channels, but a choice made between movies at the cinema is …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
Gary Busey
I always watch movies and I have many actors to appreciate each time.
Most people would express their admiration to actors who are also admired by many and usually renowned worldwide. But I would like to let people know that I appreciate Mr. Gary Busey who played the role …
Apocalypto movie
“Apocalypto” was a movie directed by actor Mel Gibson about a young warrior, Jaguar Paw living in the last days of a Mayan Kingdom in South America. I remember when the movie was released and being advertised my friends and I thought it would have been very interesting and …
Emasculating Chode
Another fun entry into the canon of Tripping the Rift highlighting the best aspect of the show: its villain Darph Bobo. Lightsaber battles, clown orgies, the Tentacle Club for Men: they are all a part of the fun and frivolity to be had here. Not to mention …
Havoc (R, 2005) movie
Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …
Full Moon wo Sagashite
The anime “Full Moon wo Sagashite” means “in search of a full moon”. It is a touching anime featuring a girl named Mitsuki who is 12 years old at the time. She has throat cancered and two death gods visited her, telling she only has a year to live. …

Mr. Bean’s Holiday
This past weekend, we rented three movies. We were disappointed by 2. We absolutely loved the third one; Mr. Bean’s Holiday.
I’m actually a bit saddened by the fact this is going to be the last Mr. Bean movie. I say this because I have never laughed so hard at …

What I liked about this movie: I actually recorded this film off of one of our …
The Idiot movie
Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa here tries to depict a famous work in literature, Dostoyevskis The Idiot. Kurosawa has moved the story to Japan, which also has been done by the director with works of Shakespeare for example. The film is rather long, around 3 hours, but still it …

Life of Pi, movie
‘Life of Pi’ the movie has garnered many positive reviews mainly through the ears and mouths of my friends. In the midst of my important year, my ‘A’ levels year, I decided to watch this movie due to me being a movie freak and me being tired of studying. …
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Directed and Produced by MadHOUSE
Now this is what you call a good movie.
From the creators of Death Note, Beck and claymore, this one from Madhouse is a sure another topnotch! Its not an action anime but more on romantic and fantasy and supernatural genre.
This movie was based on the …
Identity - The Movie
This movie is a shocker/thriller story. It starred John Cusack played as Edward. Ray Liotta, a convict escaped and played a cop, Rebecca DeMornay a TV star, Amanda Peet a call girl in the movie.

Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …
The World is Not Enough movie
The World is Not Enough is a film that in my opinion should never have been made. It’s another 007 film starring Pierce Brosnan for the third time, and it was very successful at the box office. The whole concept of James Bond has been held alive all these …
Speedway movie
From 1968, Speedway combines the talents of Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra. Okay, it’s a so-so plot and we’ve seen it a thousand times, and the characters are stereotyped and not particularly that ‘wow-some’. I don’t think there’s any way you can say that either performer had …
The Gamers movie
A film about a team of college boys taking part in so called “Role Games”, a very popular phenomenon among certain young people nowadays. They actually do everything they want to do; create their own imaginary worlds and characters and pretend they live it. That’s the principle of a …
Disturbia
I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …
Wall-E
When the movie Wall-E first came out, i figured it was going to be just like any other over-hyped animated movie. So, I didn’t bother watching it until very recently. As it turns out, the movie is actually one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
The film, which is …
Shrek 2 (2004)
If you can remember how the first movie ended, it was Shrek, Fiona and Donkey being led away in a carriage on their way to Shrek and Fiona’s honeymoon. This second episode shows us what happens after the honeymoon is over and they come back home to the swamp. …
Springtime in the Rockies movie
Springtime in the Rockies from 1937 is a movie I have heard about for a very long time, but believe it or not, even with its marvelous song, I have never seen it, until now.
The song that is sung at the beginning is awesome. I love the harmony …
