X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I picked up the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a movie that I figured would be halfway entertaining but would lack when compared to other X-Men films. It turns out it was one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine, a mutant with the ability …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
Mr. Bean goes on vacation after winning a raffle. That is the plot of the movie plain and simple and in a nutshell as anyone could have it. All this movie does is takes us on the road of adventure that Mr. Bean goes through from place to place. …
The 40-Year-Old Version
This must be one of the filthiest comedy flicks out there - if I may call it comedy; make it one bit dirtier, and you’d be talking about porn. I am shocked to see some established reviewers praise this trash as not only funny but “sweet” and even “innocent.” …
A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …
Hulk Movie (with Edward Norton)
After the bomb that was the last Hulk movie, the new one gave me a nice sigh of relief. I was skeptical about it at first, but I’ve never seen a film with Edward Norton that I did not like, so I decided to check it out.
Unlike its predecessor, …
Prime movie
The recent romantic comedy staring Uma Thurman entilted Prime didn’t seem to fit the usual mold. It was always my opinion that romantic comidies should make you feel good and escape from reality. Prime was a closer fit to the roller coaster that is love.
The movie had …
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

Chronicle (Movie )
First off, I’m going to say although I don’t absolutely love the found footage genre, I absolutely without a doubt loved Chronicle. Of course I had my problems with it but at the end of the day it was a really good movie. My favorite thing about this film …

Contraband (2012 Movie)
With so many movie trailers exploiting all their best parts, it’s rare that a movie is better than I expected from the trailer; this is the case with Contraband. I expected a fast-paced, “Gone in 60 Seconds”-style movie, and while it delivers that, it delivers a lot more.
There are …
Pretty Woman
I think there are two great all time romantic movies Gone with the Wind and Pretty Woman. How did a movie created in 1990 managed to be as successful as the very much renewed 1930’s classic movie? Simply - great actors, script, filming and director. This is …

Ironman the Movie
Before when I was watching the movie trailer of Ironman, I was thinking that the trailer was just intended to hype up the anticipated viewers of the film. I guess my first impression was wrong, I under estimated the capacity of the movie to become a blockbuster hit.
Anyway, …
Movie : Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …

The Killer Inside me, movie

Death Race (Movie)
I saw this movie when it was shown in the big screen and it wasn’t that exciting as I expected it to be. When I first knew that Jason Statham was going to be here I thought it would be a very hot action movie, but it got quite …
Second Harry Potter Movie
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a great movie! The cast is all the same with new characters being introduced. I though Lockheart was perfectly portrayed and oh my goodness, Lucius Malfoy is absolutely perfect! I hate his character but I love to watch him onscreen because …

The Skulls (Movie )
The Skulls is a movie I’ve seen a number of times over the years and I always have fond memories of it. When I saw it recently though, I couldn’t remember exactly why I liked it so much. I think the movie seems a little dated, even though it …

Movie Because I Said So
I was very reluctant to watch the movie “Because I said So”. That’s not because I’m not a fan of Diane Keaton or Mandy Moore. It’s because most romantic comedies have the same basic plot and I knew this one wouldn’t be any different.
And, I was right. However, after …
Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides movie
This is a movie that i’ve been waiting for, but sadly Indonesian government block the Motion Picture Association (the company that bring movies from Hollywood) for not paying taxes.

Robo Cop (2014 Film)
I remember hearing my share about the latest Robo Cop film. Many said the film was awesome and was better than the older, originals films, while others swore that the film sucked. So to say I decided to watch it for myself.
The problem with remakes of old movies …
The Dark Knight
The sequel to Batman Begins was a real shocker, it was very different than the first, and I will admit that it was one of the darkest movies that I have ever seen, but also one of the very best. I was so sad when I heard that Heath …
Paprika (Animated Film)
Fucking with our minds (pardon my french) is one of the best things that Satoshi Kon is known for. He has brought us numerous mindfuck animated movies such as Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, and Tokyo Godfathers, and now here is bringing us yet again another mindfucking movie: madhouse presents …
Blackboard Jungle
Blackboard Jungle with Glen Ford, Sidney Poitier, Vic Morrow, and Anne Francis.
I do not understand all the hoopla for this movie as it was very mediocre. Glen Ford is a pleasant enough actor, but not right in the role of a inspirational teacher. Sidney …
Fire up movie
Fire Up was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen so far. I love everything about it. You’re going to enjoy watching it. The movie is a comedy and it’s just right for High School or college age viewers. The theme is more towards young people rather than an older …

Bubba Ho-Tep movie
Normally, I like Bruce Campbell movies, but when I saw Bubba Ho-Tep, I was actually embarrassed to be watching it, and I was in the privacy of my own house.
