Meet the Fockers movie

Phone Booth Movie
Honesty and having the option to tell peole the complete truth is always taken for granted. The act of lying is being done way more than it should and things need to be changed. That is the main theme Joel Schumacher was trying to create while directing the movie …
The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen movie
Tex Ritter starred as Tex Martin in The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen, a typical singing western for its generation. In this movie, he uses a guitar quite a bit. This movie does indeed have several songs in it.

Baby Mama
I just recently watched this movie. Overall it was a pretty good movie. In the beginning I thought it wasn’t going to be all that funny. After watching all of it though it was pretty funny. I think that it would have been more on the hilarious part if …
Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
The Horror Within
When I decided to watch the movie The Horror Within the other night, it was with the expectation it would be a low-budget, cheesy horror flick.
I was partially right. It was low budget and cheesy but it was more of a comedy than a horror movie.
Let’s face it, whenever …
The Green Mile - DVD 1999
I am a great fan of the novels of Stephen King and I have read the book of the same title as this film several times. I don’t normally follow through to watch films of books namely because I tend to find that watching a film after reading a …

Umrao Jaan
Watching Umrao Jaan brought tears to my eyes. This is a Hindi movie in Urdu, I think and if I’m not mistaken. I don’t speak Hindi language nor Urdu and it helps each time whenever I watch a movie of Hindi genre, or Bollywood, there will be subtitles. …
Movie Predator

The Women movie
When I agreed to take my wife to see the movie “The Women” my first thought was “what have I gotten myself into?” However, after watching it with her, I will admit, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.
While obviously a classic chick flick, I found …
A Very Special Love: Special it is
I am not very fond of Filipino or local movies ( I live in the Philippines and local movies are called “Tagalog Movies”) but then I have to say that I did enjoy watching one particular movie that I would also like to introduce to the readers of Reviewstream. …
Dickinson Movie Theater Pittsburg KS
The Dickinson Movie Theater in Pittsburg Kansas is TERRIBLE! I have been attending there for many years now simply because there is no other theater in my area.

1964’s My Fair Lady is definitely a movie classic. It’s a musical that continues to touch those who view it. It’s well made and excellently portrayed.

The Hunger Games (Movie)
One of the movies that I have watched over the course of the year, is “The Hunger Games”, starring actors Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. The thing that really compelled me to go and see the movie was the books, as I found the whole series enthralling. The trailer …
Disney’s The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …

The Dark Knight
I watched the Dark Knight a couple of days after the movie came out. I had seen the first one too and I had waited for this one to release for a long time. In this one, the batman battled the Joker. This movie was one of the best …
DVD Kippur
I watched the movie “Kippur” as part of my “trying to understand the Middle East” efforts. I’m not sure what affects watching the movie had on that, but it reinforced my belief that governments are inefficient and self-serving and that war is the supreme human lunacy.
Israeli Director Amos …
Cindarella Man
I feel the need to review this movie because I find it to be the most underrated movie of all time. As you can probably tell, this is currently my favorite movie. I’m not going to write the normal kind of movie review. Instead, I am just going to …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …
The Broken (R, 2009) movie
Lena Headey stars as Gina a medical professional who has seen her doppelganger and decides to follow her. She ends up in a car accident and after awakening in the hospital, she has tons of flashbacks about some pretty disturbing images. This movie was soooooooo …

Edward Scissorhands (starring Johnny Depp)
Edward Scissorhands is a very heart-wrenching story that makes me cry buckets each time I watched. I just can’t get enough of Johnny Depp in this story and this is one of the best movies by him ever that I dubbed him one of the best actors. He totally deserves …

Movie: Dear John
Dear John is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. I would say the novel was more outstanding than the movie, in terms of details. The movie however, is still a great romance flick to watch with your significant other.
The movie starrs Channing Tatum as John and …
Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …
Tron:Legacy 2010 film

The Ides of March Movie
After watching the Ides of March I have found it to be entertaining, gripping, smart movie. The cast of the movies is the top of the line, you couldn’t wish for better actors to work on it. The strongest feature of the movie is in the unique characters in …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …

A swedish documentary that focuses on a lot of things. Mainly it is a film about the human injustice of the world as it looks today, but it is also very philosophical and makes the viewer think about life as a whole. However, it isn’t what the film is …
