Life is Beautiful movie
This review does not have a summary. This movie was one of the best holocaust movies I have seen in a long time. When I saw this movie, it was all in Italian, which is for the most part the only downside to it. Although, the script in …

Arrival (2016 Sci-fi Drama Film)
The way this film is marketed is truly off-putting, who else wants to watch another alien-invasion movie? I find it truly distracting that “language” is one of the main themes here but the distributor actually did not know how to communicate/market this film to the general audience. Granted, science fiction …

There Will Be Blood (epic drama movie)
I’ve found it so strange that I had never heard of the 2007 movie “There Will Be Blood” until late last year. Even then I still had no idea what to expect of it because of the title. A major part of me figured that the plot might have something …

Cadillac Records movie
As soon as I heard that this movie was going to be released in theatres, I tried my best to avoid it since I knew it would start the singer/wannabe actress Beyonce Knowles; as I really dislike her and think she ruins every movie she appears in. Nevertheless, some …
Dark Mountain movie
1944’s Dark Mountain is a really nice B-motion picture. Certainly, there’s nothing stellar in this less than one hour movie, but the story is entertaining, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while watching it.
Robert Lowery starred as a forest ranger named Don Bradley. I have no idea who …
San Andreas - Movie (2015)
I watched San Andreas in IMAX 3D. I’m glad I made that decision because I was able to fully appreciate the visuals. The movie is a natural disaster movie and seeing it in IMAX 3D made it incredibly real. This movie isn’t only about earthquakes as many people might feel …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …

The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb
I picked up The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb because it was cheap ($6.44) and because it looked somewhat interesting, if a bit derivative. Derivative is right, this two-part mini-series steals liberally from both the Indiana Jones franchise as well as the Mummy series.
Does the Curse of King …
Ma and Pa Kettle
Universal International Studios struck a gold mine when they launched Ma and Pa Kettle in 1949. It would be the first of nine pictures focused on these country characters. However, Ma and Pa actually first began in another movie, one I enjoy a lot, called The Egg …
Family Guy - Blue Harvest
Star Wars adding to Family Guy. All I could think was when I first heard about this combination was it was going to be interesting how they could make it funny. Yes, other people have parody Star Wars before never line …
Movie The Strangers
I just rented and watched the movie the strangers today and it was pretty good. I am not going to say it was a 10 because there were parts of the movie that I felt like “I wish it would hurry up and end”. At the same time …
Justice League: War (2014 movie)
I’ve always been fascinated watching the Justice League series on television even though I’ve never been fortunate enough to own one of the comic books. Each time I hear that another movie has been released I’m always very eager to go and watch it too since I find that …

I’m going to give this movie sort …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …

Breakfast on Pluto (movie)
I saw bits and pieces of this movie at least twice when it was being aired on Starz Cinema, and on about the third time I decided the description of the plot made it seem to be too interesting to not try out. I was cooking when I started …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …
Mean Girls
Mean Girls starring Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan is one of my all time favorite teen and girl movies. The movie, which I saw when I was in my college, is a really a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It is a bit different from other teen comedies or girly movies …
Julie & Julia film
While watching this film, I was thinking that someone really interested in cooking could probably enjoy it more than me, since the film it’s mostly about good food, cooking as a hobby, or cooking as a passion. It might make you want to cook, or try the recipes. However, …
Balls of Fury movie
I think Balls of Fury is a very funny and crazy movie. And of course I am going to like this movie, it has Christopher Walken in it. He is one of my favorite actors and He does a wonderful job of acting in this great film. He is at …

Enter The Dragon is probably my favorite martial arts film of all time. I think that the master Bruce Lee really showed people how it is done in this movie. The story is starts and beautiful China where Bruce Lee practices Kung Fu in the great Shaolin Temple. I just …

The Exorcist 3
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist 3, starring George C. Scott and Jason Miller. It is a sequel to The Exorcist and The Exorcist 2. The Exorcist was excellent, but the second one was ridiculous. With this in mind, I didn’t expect much from the third …
Death Sentence, movie
Kevin Bacon heads into new territory as a father in pain on the march for revenge. I thought that the film was close to the plot of the “Death Wish” films but was surprised that there were enough differences to make the film a decent movie. There is …

Due South: Free Willie reminded me of a series I watched a lot called McCloud. In that show, Dennis Weaver played a United States Marshal from Taos, New Mexico who was temporarily assigned to duty in New York City. He was a fish out of water, but …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …
Road to Eternity movie
The second part in Kobayashi’s trilogy about Kaji is the best one in my opinion. Here he has been transferred to “the field”, right in the face of war. The biggest trouble for him is not to stay alive in the battles, but to avoid fights with his fellow …
