The Danish Girl (2015 Film)
Period dramas are not that interesting to me unless they are released to compete for awards. Take for example “Age of Adaline”, it was very nonsensical and boring because it was solely made for entertainment. It was presented like it was a true story but it was purely science fiction.
Dramas …

Movie Angels and Demons
I am a big fan of Dan Brown’s novels. They are, for me, the kind of books that I could finish in one sitting, simply because they are too thrilling that I can’t keep my hands off it. So when it was announced that this is going to be …
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013 movie)
Oz The Great and Powerful tries so hard to be epic. It has a very entertaining feeling. There are aspects of the movie that are brilliant and there were things that I thought needed some work. Sometimes I thought the pacing of the film was a little off and …
BRUCE ALMIGHTY,MOVIE
If ever there were a self-pitying person with the negative personality of a rattler on a bad day, it would be the part played by Jim Carey, in the movie, Bruce Almighty! To this hero, God, himself, if OUT to get him, when he steps in a mud puddle, …

Twilight
Well the movie Twilight was…”ok”. The acting was decent and the story was intersting, however, not everyone will like it. I enjoyed watching it, but thought some parts were rather silly. It is very much a romance movie and a chick flick. Though it does have a few action …

Movie Friday the 13th
I was a bit skeptical when Friday the 13th the 09 version was coming out. People didn’t hear much about it. And the cast was practically unheard of, which was a worry for all the fans of the series.
This movie is not as bad as I thought it was …

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. 2003 science fiction film
Here we have the second time in Godzilla movie history that a Godzilla movie was made to be a direct sequel to the previous movie made. The funny thing is that both times, Mechagodzilla was involved. At the end of the Showa Series, which lasted from the mid 1950’s …

Alright, you probably now about the movie Gladiator by now. You’ve heard the stories about its gore and fighting. Well honestly, you have too see this movie. It is superb. Russell Crowe is at his finest moment of acting in this movie. HE plays the main character so well …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …
Gidget Goes to Rome movie
The third Gidget movie was entitled Gidget Goes to Rome. It marks the last time that James Darren would appear as the very handsome and ‘oh, I’m swooning’ when I see him, Moondoggie. He was happy to move on from the character, though he understands its place …
The Pink Panther movie
This is one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. Although the plot is predictable and somewhat cheesy, the character’s ridiculous antics make the movie absolutely hilarious. Martin’s mispronunciation of the word “hamburger” splits my side every time. The contrast between serious and silly members of the …
Troy
Four years after the epic movie “Gladiator”, Brad Pitt attempts to make a success out of another epic movie “Troy”. The only two things in common that these two movies have are that they were both filmed in Malta. While “Gladiator” was a huge blockbuster, “Troy” failed …
“Ice Twisters” the movie 2009
Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
I saw this movie a day ago because the title caught my eye when I was looking on the television guide for movies to watch. When I watched it though, I realised that the film was more than just a strange title, but it was a heartbreaking film which …
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 …
The Hunger Games (Movie)
One of the movies that I have watched over the course of the year, is “The Hunger Games”, starring actors Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. The thing that really compelled me to go and see the movie was the books, as I found the whole series enthralling. The trailer …
A lot like live
It`s a great movie. It`s a comedy romance and Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet plays really good in it. It takes some people years to fall in love at first sight. A LOT LIKE LOVE is a romantic comedy about destiny, connection and the frequently fuzzy line between chance …

The Other Guys Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …

Some of my favorite actors of all time were from the so-called “Brat Pack” of the ’80s. There is some debate on which actors are actually considered part of the Brat Pack. The undisputed ones are of course Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelsom, Andrea McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall, …
Fantastic Four
“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?
