Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …

Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …
Exiled (2007)
I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …
Enemy (psychological thriller movie)
I remember wanting to see the movie “Enemy” after I had seen the trailer some time ago. It gave me the impression that it could be one of those thrillers that would keep me in suspense all the way through till it ended. However, after I got to watch the …

Youngblood movie
Let me make it clear right up front. I do not like hockey. Why? Well, when I was a child, my uncle took me to a hockey game, and I couldn’t follow the dang puck! I had no clue where it was and just couldn’t follow the …
The Blind Side
The first thing that comes to mind when you mention ‘The Blind Side’ is the movie for which the actress Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for best female interpretation. This is true, however the film is much more than that. The story of this movie is so touching that …
Mary Poppins
Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …
Lucy Gallant
I adore Lucy Gallant. It’s a film about the Texas oil boom. Jane Wyatt plays the title role of Lucy Gallant, a woman running away from her old love and who ends up stranded right in the middle of oil country. She quickly meets the tall …
Knight and Day Movie (2010)
The movie “Knight and Day” was a wonderful romp through the world of spies. The life of a spy is ever-intriguing, thrilling and sexy, to say the least. The film stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, who look absolutely fabulous, as always.
Cruise is playing …
Nightmare on Elm Street
I just went to see this movie in theaters last Saturday. First, let me tell you what I was expecting. When you watch the first movie that came out in the 80s, you now see a corny movie that is not at all scary. I was expecting this remake …
Donnie Darko movie
The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …
Where the Wild Things Are
As a child, I was fascinated with the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, and years later, I enjoyed reading it to my own kids. I didn’t have an excuse to see the movie, and I had thought about asking one of my friends’ children to accompany me, …
Intimate Agony movie
When Intimate Agony aired originally back in 1983, it was quite the controversial film. It received a lot of attention at the time, not just for the subject matter, but for the primary stars. The two were the daytime divas of the day, Anthony Geary and Judith …
Winning of the West movie
I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …
Rush Hour 2
I am reviewing the movie, Rush Hour 2 starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Chris plays Carter, a loudmouth, no nonsense, comedic cop. Jackie plays Lee, a hardworking, serious, dedicated detective from Hong Kong. The second movie starts out with the two actors enjoying some …
Movie: The hand that Rocks the Cradle
Synopsis: A family hires a seemingly perfect nanny only to discover she is secretly seeking revenge against them.
What I liked about this movie: A lot of movies only hint at a person’s past and might give you a clue or two to figure it out for yourself. I personally …
Pumpkin Scissors Episode 4
Pumpkin Scissors Episode 4 begins with Section 3 trying to figure out how advanced technology was used in the Viscount’s military tank and they go to ask an expert about it. When the military tries to take apart the tank, they are attacked by men who are trying …
All the Kind Strangers movie
All the Kind Strangers from 1974 is one of those really weird movies that just doesn’t have much value in my opinion. If, and that is a big if, there is a message, it’s something about helping children who have no one in the world to guide them. …
Cry Wolf Movie
A predictable horror story for kids who don’t read good books and therefore have poor taste, easily satisfied with some action & easy scares. A body is found near a school, and a bunch of high-schoolers decide to pull a prank by creating an online serial killer personality. They …
The Deep End of the Ocean
I haven’t seen this movie for years until I saw it on television again late last year. It has a similar name to another movie called “The Deep End” and is not to be confused with it as they both have two completely different plots. Nevertheless I think that …
Movie Freaky Friday
I sometimes think that certain producers lack fantasy in coming up with original movies. “Freaky Friday” represent a movie about twisting identity in a series of three that came and are going to be released from Hollywood. We all remember Tom Hanks famous role in “Big” and he was …
Eat, Pray, Love Movie
Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …
Meet The Browns - (starring Angela Bassett)
I watched Meet The Browns before and this is a movie starring Angela Bassett. She is a very lovely woman actress that I truly admire. It is not easy being a single mom and that is what Angela’s character, Brenda has to go through. She is a …

Wild Hogs
This very hilarious movie, called Wild Hogs, is a box office hit in my country, and I managed to catch it as well.
I laugh my whole way through at the antics of a group of middle-aged friends, who decided to go on a motorcycling trip together. Their antics …
Phone Booth (starring Colin Farrell)
Have you ever heard the saying one phone call is all it takes to make a difference? Well, I watched Phone Booth before and this pretty much sums up what I just said. Watching this movie before, after the show had ended, I thought that it is pretty …
The film The Secret
I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …
Star Trek 2009
I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …
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 …
Sky-High movie
If you are born in a super hero family and that too with the best super-dad and super-mom then expectation with you are very high! But what if you find yourself unable to identify any traits of super-power in yourself! That’s what the movie is based on! Will Stronghold …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …

Clash of the Titans movie remake
Hollywood has done it again. They’ve taken a well-known movie and tried to update it with flashy costumes (literally in the case of Zeus) and an overabundance of CGI. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film by the same name, although it lacks many of …
House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …
Some Like it Hot movie
I am reviewing the movie, Some Like it Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Cutis, and Jack Lemmon. This movie was made in 1959, and was directed by Billy Wilder.
Joe and Jerry are musicians, desperate for any type of gig they can find in the hard economic times. One …
Finding Neverland - (starring Johnny Depp)
Finding Neverland is one of the best movies that I watched and it featured both extremely talented and amazing actress and actor. They are none other than Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet.
Johnny’s character is so strikingly handsome and one of the best moments that I love would …
Dillagi (movie), 1999
Dillagi released in 1999. It is directed the Sunny Deol. Sunny Deol although being a professional actor has done the job of directing pretty well in this film. The lead roles are played by Sunny Deol himself, Sunny Deols brother Bobby Deol and Urmila Matondkar. The story is based …
I Do (But I Don’t) movie
The best words that describe the movie I Do (But I Don’t) is that it is a similar version of Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey movie The Wedding Planner. I believe that in comparision I Do (But I Don’t), although it has a great interpreation from the main actors, …
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
In The Valley Of Elah
In The Valley Of Elah is a movie starring Charlize Theron as well as Tommy Lee Jones. Susan Sarandon also played in it as well and this is a good story filled with emotion. I am quite surprised that this story never make it to the box office, …
Movie: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].

Ouija (2014 Film)
Ouija was another one of those scary movies that was released closer to Halloween. Mostly with the intentions of keeping up with the spirit of scares. I was initially skeptic in the beginning when viewing the trailer one evening on TV. In my mind I had already …
