Movies Reviews
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …
He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)
I don’t go to a lot of movies in the theatre, but I thought this one might be fun. It’s based on the book of the same name, and you can see this in the small vignettes in between scenes of the movie - occasionally you leave the action …

Street Law, movie (1974)
Enzo Castellari has a knack for making Italian action films. Fabio Testi seemed to be his go-to star. Yet, one film in particular, Castellari utilized the talents of the original Django. The end result was one of the better poliziotteschi films put out by Castellari. …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …
Princess Jellyfish Anime Series
Recently, I have been doing an anime marathon. I typically prefer either supernatural/mystery animes, or cute/funny animes. I go one way or the other. And Princess Jellyfish must be the funniest and cutest anime that I have ever seen. It makes me earnestly long for a second season, but …
Bourne Ultimatum
The third part of Robert Ludlum’s highly acclaimed Jason Bourne films, Bourne Ultimatum is entertainment at its best. Directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, and David Strathairn, the movie picks up where it left off with Bourne still desperate to find out who …
Trapped movie
I still think that the movie “Trapped” might have been the best movie I have seen the actor Stewart Townsed star in for quite some time. I personally like the movie not only because the actor Stewart Townsend was in it but because I thought the movie kept me on …
Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …
The Incredibles movie
I am reviewing the Walt Disney movie, The Incredibles. This is one of Disney’s newest films. So there are these super heroes. They save the world day after day. They are called Incredibles. They are a sub species of their own, kind of like the X Men. …

Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York (2006) Movie
This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …
House Bunny
I’m not usually a fan of these comedy/blonde movies…I usually assume they lack substance and are predictable. When I watched House Bunny however, even though it was somewhat predictable, I couldnt help but be entertained.
The movie was basically about a Playboy model who thought she was expelled by …
Passengers movie
I finally got a chance to watch the movie Passengers, which has been sitting rented from Netflix for about two weeks now. It was OK but not great.
Anne Hathaway should not do dramatic movies. She’s always got such a happy look on her face, even when she’s trying to …
The One (2001 movie)
Jet Li stars as a multi-dimensional traveler who seeks ultimate power. In this movie, Jet Li, travels through different dimensions and kills himself (well, his doppelganger of that dimension) in order to gain the slain victims power. Having done this quite a few times before, he has killed all …
The Dark Knight
It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …
Movie SEVEN
The most favorite movie i have ever seen is Seven! Brad pitt has done an excellent job. Not to leave out the performance of morgan freeman, the veteran actor has shown all the diagonals of acting. The story is about tracking a serial killer who wants to show the …
Mean Girls 2 Movie (2011)
I loved Mean Girls. I already knew Regina wouldn’t be here and this cast of the sequel would all be new but still, I’m a girl and I’d love to see how this 2nd Mean Girls movie would turn out. Turns out my expectations were right. This was nowhere …
Lord of War (2005)
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Bridget Moynahan, Jared Leto, Ethan Hawke, Eamonn Walker, Ian Holm, Sammi Rotibi, and Yevgeni Lazarev.
Directed by: Andrew Niccol.
Lord of War is a highly entertaining and smart political crime thriller. This was made in 2005? Wow, that’s hard to believe amidst 99.9% of the garbage that is …
Repo: The Genetic Opera
This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith:Movie
It starts with a couple in counselling…funny…that’s how it ends also, but that’s not the highlight. They are actually contract killers in disquise as ordinary everyday hardworking civilians. They go out in the mornings to their respective jobs and they come home every evening to have dinner by 7pm. …
Fargo
I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014)
I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …
KingKong (2005)
I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie
*SPOILER ALERT!*
I watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince today, the first day it came out, and I must say I was a bit disappointed. I read reviews and also heard from my friends who watched Harry Potter and the midnight show that it was kind of bad, …

The Notebook movie

Imprint - Movie
Asian horror movies are credited to be really scary, I remembered watching one horror movie from Japan, and the contortionist ghost in the movie is hunting me in my dreams.
Imprint is a horror movie that originated from Japan and directed by Takashi Miike and apparently Imprint comes from …

Domino movie (2005)
(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …
P.S. I Love You
It is not a secret anymore that this movie is based on a best seller book by Cecilia Ahern with the same title. The story is about Holly Kennedy who has to face life alone after her soulmate passed away. It is not easy for Holly to do that …

Victory
Victory with Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill.
When I first saw the title along with one of my favorite actors, I thought that it would be an adventure film with plenty of action. Boy was I wrong. This movie is so slow and action free …

The original release date was March 26, 2004 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime/Thriller and stars Tom Hanks as …
Gidget Grows Up
There was a bit of hiatus between the original three Gidget movies and TV series of the early and mid-60’s to this made-for-TV movie of 1969, but it was worth the wait. Gidget Grows Up is in reality my third favorite of the entire Gidget franchise. It’s …

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)
I only rented this movie because I thought that the first one was fairly decent. Looking back, I realize that not only was the first one not as good as I’d imagined, there NEVER should have been a sequel. The whole concept behind this film …
Final Destination 2 Movie
There are only a few movies in this world that can out-do or come better than the original, and I’ll tell you that Final Destination 2 is not one of them. The plot is not very different from before, neither are the gruesome killings. While it is interesting to …
Birth ( 2004) movie

Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …
The Guardian
Kevin Costner is one of my favorite actors. I will try to watch most of his movies. In the Guardian the co start is Ashton Kutcher, he is not one of the best actors out there, but Kevin was in this movie so I had to watch …
Film Sherlock Holmes [2009]
Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …
The Singing Nun movie
Debbie Reynolds stars as The Singing Nun, known in the movie as Sister Ann, and she did a fantastic job. The movie is based on a true story, though like most movies of its kind, a lot of liberties on the plot have been taken. True or …
