The Hole movie
It was my friend who actually recommended the horror film called “The Hole” to me some time ago. The person didn’t tell me much about it either since I don’t like to be told much about movies before I watch them; but nevertheless, based upon how they described it, …

I Am Legend (R, 2007) movie
I have finally gotten around to seeing “I Am Legend”. I wish that I hadn’t seen the movie… Or better yet, I wish that I had read the novel, or seen 1971’s “Omega Man” first. At any rate, I am not really a huge Will …

National Lampoon’s Bag Boy

Cold Storage movie 2006
I rented the movie Cold Storage because I am a fan of horror films. Even the bad ones can sometimes yield some humor so I rarely bother to read reviews before I choose them. This film was made in 2006 and set in Tennessee. I will start by …
The Wolverine (2013 film)
I decided to watch the Wolverine one evening after hearing so many things about it. Initially I was late on finding out that there was going to be a new movie featuring the wolverine. To be honest, I don’t remember hearing anything about up it until a couple of …

Movie The Sure Thing
I admit I really enjoy watching John Cusack’s movies. He manages to be great in whatever character he interprets. “The Sure Thing” represents one of his early movies so one gets to see Cusack in much younger version together with cute actress, Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Place” TV series.
“The …
Walk the Line
Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.
Why make a movie based upon the rotten life of Johnny Cash? Another entertainer corrupted by rapid success hits rock bottom and then pulls out a turnaround is no big deal. Cash with his …
The Bag Man (2014)
The Bag Man is a film which I did enjoy watching despite its technical flaws. What kept me glued to it was the fact that the contents of the bag weren’t revealed until much later. At first, when my friend recommended me to watch The Bag Man I had …
The Patriot movie
The patriot is one my my favorite movies. This movie is remembered for the stunning performance of Male Gibson. He is also the director of the movie.
I have seen this movie more than twenty times. And in spite of this I am ready to see this any time. …
Movie The Invasion
Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …
A Bronx Tale
A Bronx Tale with Chazz Palminteri, Robert De Niro, and Lillo Brancato.
Great casting Put a bunch of Italians in roles of Italians in New York with their distinct accents and you pretty much are assured of getting a winner movie. Palminteri …
Crocodile Dundee (1986)
Mick, an Australian in very sense of the word gets himself involved with an American woman where he finds himself taking the voyage across the oceans to be with his dearly beloved in the land of the free. This movie is an adventure all to itself and if you …
Film Halloween
The last time I saw the 1978 version of Halloween, I was a pre-teen and, to be perfectly honest, couldn’t remember much about the movie.
It was on one of our movie channels last night so I decided to watch it with my wife while we were waiting for Project …
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 …
The Hangover Part 2: Movie
The Hangover: Part 2 is a movie I, as so many others, have anticipated since its prior film. I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed as I was greeted with laugh after laugh with its comedic brilliance.
I have to say that I liked the fact that it was …
Muppet Treasure Island (movie)
This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …

Into The Woods (Movie)
I was waiting for this movie for so long not only because Disney produced it but also because my favorite actors are there: Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, and Anna Kendrick.
At first I was so happy to know that it is a musical movie but I was a …
Blazing Saddles movie (1974)
Is anyone else a Mel Brooks film lover? I know I am. The first time I saw one of his films, I was a kid and asked my mother about any other films he might have made. My first one was …
Valentine’s Day Movie (2010)
When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it was a star-studded cast! There were several famous actors and actresses in this movie, of all ages, starting from Julia Roberts, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Kathy Bates, Patrick Dempsey, Emma Roberts, Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner, Jamie Foxx, …
Movie The Unborn
Let’s cut to the chase. If you are planning on renting “The Unborn,” do yourselves a huge favor and save your dollars for a rainy day. You’ll be better off nailing your eyeballs shut than watching this misleading sorry waste of time. This film is poorly written and poorly …
Mean Girls
I was a Lindsay Lohan fan before all the controversy about her surfaced. I think she’s really pretty and talented. I especially like her in Freaky Friday. But when she started acting up and many negative things about her came out, I stopped watching her movies all together. But …

Love, Actually movie
Love, Actually, is a very strange movie to nail down and categorize. Overall, it is, of course, a romantic comedy, but it is wholly unique from other members of the genre. Instead of relying on two star crossed lovers to tell its tale, Love, Actually, features a very large …
Metro (1997)
Eddie Murphy character in this movie is that of a no nonsense police officer and hostage negotiator. When he encounters a ruthless killer, who will stop at nothing to get what is his, Eddie’s character manages to outsmart him and puts him behind bars, but this was not for …

The story is revolving litrally around its tittle..that is persuit of happiness!
The movie has great sense of depth at the same time it shows …
Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …
Bedtime Stories movie
I’m not as big of an Adam Sandler fan as I used to be. This is mostly because his movies always seem to rehash basically the same plot and some of the films are so terrible I can’t get through 10 minutes.
But, we decided to pick up Bedtime Stories …
Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …
All the President’s Men Movie
About the two investigating journalists who discovered the remarkable and shocking Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, something that came on the news in the whole world afterwards.
Even though I think the story here is interesting and that both Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are great as the two …
When Harry Met Sally
Billy Crystal sizzles in the movie, When Harry Met Sally. And one of my most favorite actress, Meg Ryan acted too and together with Billy Crystal, the on-screen chemistry looks unavoidable. I could be watching this 10 times and still not get tired nor bored at it.
This is …
Stepmom (movie)
Stepmom is about a family that divorces, and the two children live with their mom. The mom, played by Susan Sarandon, is protective and jealous. Her ex-husband takes good care of the family and sees the children on a regular basis. He also has a new girlfriend, Isabel (Julia …
Open Season
When I finally got around to watching the movie Open Season this past weekend, I figured it would be a lot like the other animated movies I’ve watched recently. I was right. But, it was still entertaining.
The movie, which centers around a bear who was raised by humans but …
Wall-E Movie (2008)
The movie “Wall-E” is a unique Disney-Pixar new classic that blends technology, charm and lessons about caring for our environment. The title character is a quirky little janitorial robot. He is supposed to clean up a planet Earth that has been abandoned by humanity due to an …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
Flicka
I am reviewing the movie, Flicka, which was released last year. It is the story about a girl and her horse, but also about the relationship between father and daughter. Alison Lohman plays Katy McLaughlin, whose desire has always been to work on her family’s ranch. …
Eddie Murphy: Raw
If you’ve ever seen Eddie Murphy in family films like Dr. Doolittle and Shrek, I would recommend renting his Raw performance on DVD.
This is Eddie Murphy at his best, giving stand-up comedy performances and talking about everything from politics to women and race issues. If you have kids, put …
Pathfinder, epic action film by Marcus Nispel
I had so many reasons I didn’t want to see this movie. For starters the director made the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the one that came out in 2003. How could somebody that made that disappointing movie make a barbarian movie? Then you have the fact that this movie opened …
Reptilicus movie
A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.
This could indeed be the very definition of a …
Outsourced (2006)
Outsourced starring Josh Hamilton and Ayesha Dharker is a great movie with big heart that is definitely worth watching. The story tells of an American businessman (Hamilton) who loses his comfortable yet unsatisfying job in a call center when his company decides to outsource the service to India in …
The Chinese Feast
‘The Chinese Feast’ is a Cantonese film directed by Tsui Hark. The actors are Leslie, Anita, Kenny etc.. Kenny plays the role of Kit and Leslie the role of Sun, a former member chef.
In this movie, Kit is a master chef. He is an expert in cooking. Once there …
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. …
Suffering Man’s Charity/ Ghost Writer (2007)
I thought this was going to be a really good movie, I heard really good things about it, plus, the cast list was very impressive. At the beginning of the movie, when things seemed a little bit too eccentric for and to weird, I just said to myself …
The Haunted Mansion (movie)
I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …
The Stepfather Movie
Jerry Blake (Terry O’Quinn), a real estate agent, has chosen a rather unusual path in life, to put it mildly: he moves in with single mothers with children, plays a good husband/stepfather for a while, and then murders the family and takes off. He takes precautions like changing his …
