Movies Reviews
Where The Wild Things Are movie
Where the Wild Things Are was a truly disappointing movie. It was rambling and didn’t seem to have any direction.
I think the problem is that it’s an adaptation of a picture book. It would have worked better as possibly a thirty minute animated film. …
The Guard (movie)
I watched the comedy thriller “The Guard” last night, and while there are many things I have to say about it, I promise to keep my review fairly brief.
The movie was about the strange partnership of an FBI agent, and an Irish policeman with some very unorthodox ways, …
Erin Brockovich
Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …
Movie: Stonehenge Apocalypse
About a week ago, I saw an advertisement for a SyFy original movie called Stonehenge Apocalypse that looked somewhat interesting so I set my DVR to record it. My wife and I got around to watching it yesterday afternoon and, while OK, it wasn’t nearly as good as expected.
OK, …
The Quiet (R, 2005)
Here is yet another movie that I’ve been skipping over in my Netflix queue. I thought at first that because the film starred Elisha Cuthbert, that it would be one of those silly little flicks with little substance. Tween thrillers are very rarely that entertaining to …
Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie
We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …
Prestige movie
“The Prestige” is a dazzling, entertaining, smart, and mind-blowing film. It is a rare combination of a fun, enjoyable, popcorn movie and a serious, well-done, cinematic film. “The Prestige” sucks you in and doesn’t ever let go. As soon as you see it, …
Saw (horror movie)
Saw is 2004 horror, thriller and mystery movie directed by James Wan who had quite a successful career in directing horror movies. I don’t usually watch horror movies, not because I can’t bear them, but, because its not truly my genre. My friend told me how much of a …
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. …
Spongebob Squarepants
I feel that anybody, no matter how young, old or conservative you are, who has never watched even a single episode of the cartoon series, Spongebob Squarepants, is seriously missing out on some creatively crazy genius.
I think the cartoon will be enjoyed by anybody with a sense of humor, …
Kung Fu Panda
I was really excited about this movie right before it was shown in theaters. Because just the thought of a Panda doing Kung Fu? his weight, clumsiness, and incredibly large tummy and the dream of becoming a Kung Fu master.It’s quite hilarious right?How would someone be doing Kung Fu …
Four Rooms (R-1995) movie
Anyone who’s a fan of Madonna or Quentin Tarantino has probably found their careers to lead them to a film called Four Rooms. It’s basically a vignette of sorts: Four rooms in a hotel are rented out on New Year’s Eve, to four groups of guests. The …
Heat
“Heat” is an incredible drama/action movie with two brilliant movie stars sparking energy all the way Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. This is the first time Pacino and De Niro worked together after “The Godfather II”. What is also interesting about this movie is that it …
The Other Guys Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …
Mama, film by Andres Muschietti
First-time feature film director Andrés Muschietti tries with Mama, an expansion of his earlier short film similarly titled, to paint the horror genre into a warmer, more fantastical light, whilst at the same time keeping overused plot contrivances as a foundation, so that the modern audience might not feel …
Enchanted
“Enchanted” is a fantastic musical film for all those who believe in dreams and fairytales. In a nutshell, this film is a modern day fairytale partly filmed and partly animated. I have noticed that the same concept of filming was used also in the recent “Alving and the Chipmunks” …

Christmas Vacation
Christmas Vacation is the only Christmas movie that I watch EVERY year and it never gets old. All of the characters are really great and genuinely funny. Chevy Chase certainly stills the show but kudos need to also go to cousin Eddie. The dynamic duo of …
Slither
Last night I just watch this movie, Slither. This movie is tell about the alien invasion to the earth attack in a small town in America. Actually, I don’t like and got bored with kind of movie like this because the story is looks like the same and so …

My Bloody Valentine (2009) - movie
I admit that I entered in the theater with quite low expectations, being a fan of horror movies, I decided to give it a try for the following two reasons, first- it’s a horror movie, second- it is made in digital 3-D.
first of all, Hats off to the filmmakers for …
Happily N’Ever After

I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …

The Man in the Iron Mask
“The Man in the Iron Mask” comes with a lot of luggage for Leonardo diCaprio. The actor was involved in this movie project after he was denied the pleasure of being nominated for an Oscar for his interpretation of Jack in “The Titanic”. His reaction was deemed immature by …
American Hustle (movie)
I became interested in watching the movie “American Hustle” because virtually everyone I know who watched it claimed it was a masterpiece. The Oscar nominations that it received made me even more interested in seeing it. However the only things that kept me away were that there were actors …

My son and I went to see the movie The Book of Eli and I have to say that, had I had any idea in advance how bad this movie was, I would never have paid the ticket price to go see it.

Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …

Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …

We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens.
