Tschick (German Movie)
Tschick is a movie directed by director Fatih Akin based on a best-selling Young Adult novel Tschick (translated as Why We Took the Car in English). It’s a shame I cannot find a trailer for the movie with English subtitles even though the film is released with English subtitles. So …
The Butterfly Effect 2
When I finally got around to watching the Butterfly Effect, I found myself pleasantly surprised. It was actually a pretty decent movie. Not the best movie ever made, but one that was pretty good. I liked it well enough, in fact, to encourage to me to …
The Fourth Kind 2009 movie
I just finished watching “The Fourth Kind” and can’t stop laughing. This was a pathetic attempt at a movie. The premise is similar to the Blair Witch film in that it is presented as a “mockumentary” complete with fake “archive footage and audio.” This is one of those movies …

For What It’s Worth (2004) Dave Chappelle
I love Dave Chappelle. His sense of humor is insane. I love the easy way that he fires off hilarious tidbits and can easily bring an audience to its knees (and to its feet at the end of the show). The title “comedic genuis” fits him well. For those …
Bobbys World cartoon
Bobby’s World was always one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons. I thought she show was really cute and funny. Bobby is so funny and cool. He has many wacky adventures and fun times.

Bridge of Spies (2015 Film)
I have been so attached with Oscar-bait films ever since I had that cinematic experience with Alfonso Cuaron’s 2013 space tale “Gravity”. It was beyond words, beyond everything I have ever felt before, and to truly witness it in glorious 3D screen was groundbreaking. It was then that I realized …

Movie : The Proposal (2009)

Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.

Baby Mama
I’ve seen plenty of movies about giving birth before. But, I have to admit the film Baby Mama was one that offered a unique take on the miracle of life.

Battle L.A. Movie
I had not heard much about Battle L.A., which is surprising because it is the current big blockbuster alien movie and that usually means millions of dollars in advertising. The only advertising I have seen for this film is some posters in subway stations. The posters explain the basic …

Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)
This film is one in a series of horror movies directed by different individuals. I have realized that after a period of time, these films are more like “Tales from the Darkside” episodes, only with more gore, sex and violence. At any rate, this episode: Cigarette Burns …

13 going on 30
13 going on 30 is a nice entertainer and it is a partial fantasy movie. The movie in which Jennifer Garner gave a very fine performance is a nice comedy with romance in the right doses. Jenna Rink is a 13 year old girl who is worried that she …
Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …

Seven Pounds movie

The Reaping (R, 2007) movie
This is not your ordinary horror film. Based on some pretty heavy Biblical references, if you are not into supernatural themes, you will get really bored with this one. That being said, Hilary Swank gives a believable performance in this thriller. This isn’t the type of …
Death Sentence
I recently watched this movie with my best friend. AND I LOVED IT!. There was so much, raw emotion in this movie. Kevin Bacon did an awsome job. If you like happy endings this movie isnt for you. I think thats why I loved it so much, It was …
