Do Not Disturb movie
Doris Day stars with Rod Taylor in Do Not Disturb. It’s not a big favorite of mine, and it’s not as fun or entertaining as her movies with Rock Hudson and James Garner were. While Taylor’s other outing with Day, The Glass Bottom Boat, was a winner …
K-PAX (2001)
An assumed alien from a planet named K-PAX is committed to an asylum to be treated and cared for with all hopes of returning this human being to a normal state. The doctor in charge, after initial interviews comes to believe this person that he is actually not of …
Pinnochio movie
The movie ‘Pinnochio’ made me feel really disappointed. Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful has been my all time favorite. I watched Pinnochio hoping that it would be as good as Life is Beautiful but I was utterly disappointed. Not in comparison with Life is Beautiful but the movie Pinnochio …
He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)
I don’t go to a lot of movies in the theatre, but I thought this one might be fun. It’s based on the book of the same name, and you can see this in the small vignettes in between scenes of the movie - occasionally you leave the action …
Valley of the Wolves, Iraq
This Valley of the Wolves, Iraq is a movie of a different perspective. It is a foreign film, and has artistic elements to it. My friend brought me to watch this, and it lasts for about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This movie is not about taking sides, …
Face Off (1997)
I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …
Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …
The King’s Speech (2010 film)
Of the few titles that emerged from the oscar nominations, I highly favor “The King’s Speech.” It is my favorite. I’ve been watching movies in my free time, and it gave me a timely opportunity to watch the movies nominated at the academy awards. The King’s …
X-Men (Movie)
As a fan of the comics and early morning animated show, I always felt this movie was a long time coming. Thankfully, someone finally saw fit to bring Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and the rest to the big screen and under the direction of Bryan Singer; the X-Men were finally …
Wedding Crasher
This is another romantic comedy movie that I like. Watching Wedding Crashers makes me laugh and touch in a same time.
This movie tell abot two bestfriends John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Gray (Vince Vaughn) who always love to come in the wedding uninvited. Their purpose just to looking …
The Hurt Locker film
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Evangeline Lilly, Ralph Fiennes, David Morse, Guy Pearce, and Christian Camargo.

The Hurt Locker is one of the best war films made in a while, one that deserves to sit up there along with Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan and …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, movie
How did Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth movie franchise fall so far from the heights reached with his original Lord of the Rings trilogy?
Before the first instalment of the Hobbit films had even been released in 2012 the naysayers were already quite vocal about the proposition of taking a small …
Movie: The Descent
The Descent is a horror cum gore movie, that horror seekers would love to watch. However, I have some qualms watching this movie, and I was at the verge of vomitting seeing the supposedly “monster” viciously attacking its preys or victims.
This story is about a group of girlfriends, …
Signs (2002 Movie)
There is one word that describes this movie…”BORING”. It’s a long, drawn out, dull, mind-numbing, boring tale of aliens coming to earth. And as always, the aliens have some to destroy mankind…been there, done that, seen it too many times. I guess we should all be wearing tip foil …
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
In the previous movie, in the ending of it that is, it showed a new strain of the alien creature as it adapted the predator gene. Now, in this movie, the creatures are once again back on earth, there usual playground, and they are after each other with us …
Thor (movie)
One of the movies I had been looking forward to seeing since 2010 was the movie “Thor”. This was not only because I’m a big comic book fan, but because it sounded like it was going to be big from the start. When I watched it for the first …
Mean Girls (2004 Film)
“Mean Girls” the movie that hit big screens in 2004, was and still is a movie that is referred to by not only teenagers and young adults, but by adults as well. In my high school math class, two years after this movie came out, the math teacher called …

Sherlock Holmes 2009 - Lock, Stock and Several Exploding Barrels.
This rollicking take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythology brings the old hack’s story up to date with several bangs. From the moment the film starts, we are plunged into the seedy underworld of Victorian London, and introduced to a hero who is both brilliant and rather unbalanced.
Robert …
Richie Rich (1994)
Taken from the pages of the comic strip and the TV series, this live action movie has won me over. Richie Rich is the richest child in the world who has any and everything that he wants or needs. The only problem to that situation is that he is …
The Rocketeer
With all the movies about comic book action heroes that have been coming out lately, one that has been out for some time might be easily forgotten.
But, even after being on video shelves all these years, the movie The Rocketeer is still one of my favorites.
Bill Campbell does an …
What Dreams May Come
What Dreams May Come is a unique movie. It stars Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding,Jr. and Annabella Sciorra. “After Robin Williams dies in an accident, he tries to remain close to his wife, Annabella Sciorra. With the friendly spirit, Cuba Gooding,Jr. assigned to guide him, explains what is going on …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is one of the most wonderful attacks on the kung fu genre. Dreamworks did an excellent job in combining animation, kung fu and of course comedy.The whole movie made my jaw somewhat hurt from all that laughing not to mention the oohs and aahs during the …
Final Destination Movie
“Final Destination” is a good horror movie about what happens when you try to escape death. Of all the horror movies I’ve scene, I honestly thought this film had a great cast: Ali Larter, Devon Sawa, Kerr Smith, Tony Todd, and Seann William Scott.
The movie is about a …
Movie Apocalypto
This movie is excellent in every way but I was skeptical until I sat down to watch it. Mel Gibson directs an action packed story-line that grabs your adrenaline first and your heart second. In the beginging of this movie you are introduced to a tribe of early Aztec …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
Sling Blade movie

The Wedding Crashers
The Wedding Crashers it a great movie! This movie was just great. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaugn did a great job of acting in this movie. I really liked the basic storyline. The Wedding Crashers is very funny because these two guys go around looking for girls at weddings they …
Brothers (2009) movie
Brothers was an interesting film to say the least the three lead roles really made this movie for me, but overall I enjoyed it and it somewhat relates to real life.
The plot of the movie is pretty straight forward but there are lots of subtle entities that you …
Movie Firewall
Firewall with Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen.
What a crappy movie this was. Harrison Ford looks 100 years old and tries to get by with his trademark angry face. Madsen is chunky and they try to hide her enormous rump. Aside from these main …
Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
