I ended up watching an old movie last night called Horror of Spider Island. From what I can tell, this was a foreign movie (likely German) that was dubbed and was supposed to be a scary movie.
Well, I have to tell you, this black and white film was one …

This movie is weird and crazy. I personally think it’s funny in a way that I can’t believe Cillian Murphy did and accepted this role, and funny that someone would even think of Lucy Liu’s character here to be that crazy! The director must be crazy too to even …

Disneys The Emperors New Groove is a great film to watch and is a little more funky than the other Disney Classic Movies.
David Spade stars as the Emperor - a self important selfish character who annoys one person to many and gets his come upance when he sacks his …

We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …

This is supposed to be some kind of comedy, but with the exceptions of a few scenes where Michael Keaton is absolutely brilliant, I didn’t think …

If you’re fan of The Beatles, then this movie is for you. It features Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess.
We all know that The Beatles are great, that’s why their songs have been remade and covered by tons of different artists already. But the versions of the songs of …

(Side Note: Some of the unrecognizable words are French; and are not misspellings. The film is an original French production.)
The initial question the film patron is bound to ask with regard to the titled movie is: “Who the heck is Hortense?” Hortense is …

This was an excellent movie. It started out great and it ended great. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I would recommend anyone to watch it. It wasn’t gory at all so if you don’t like gory movies you don’t have to worry about that. It was …

Serendipity is so beautiful, it’s almost cathartic. One of the loveliest movies I’ve seen.
The movie is about how if two people are destined to be together, luck brings them together. Kate Beckinsale (Sarah in the film) plays the sweet “believer” perfectly, while John Cusack (Jonathan in the film) …

Getting another free movie pass enables me to watch Dragonball Evolution. Anticipating the movie to surpass every expectation that I have and wishing for it to be good. And this is what I have to say. Goku, the hero that we all love is a mediocre. …

You always hear people discussing cinematography in various films and movies, but in the movie I finally saw last night, —˜Earth,’ the cinematography is magnificent and clearly on a different level than most documentaries I have seen. The movie is made up of several —˜stories’ of animals in their …

I had been a while since I’ve watched the Abbott and Costello movie “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Since I wanted to introduce my daughter to it, I figured I would watch it with her last night.
It was even better than I thought it would be.
Even when compared to movies …

Oh Heavenly Dog is a charming movie that is surprisingly funny. Chevy Chase stars as a private investigator who gets murdered in the middle of a case. However, as far as Heaven goes, he’s not guaranteed entry. He has to go back to Earth to solve …

I have seen this movie last night and even though I didn’t want to watch it because I’m not fond of alien-predator fighting scenes and the only alien-predator movie that I liked is Alien versus Predators, and not humans versus aliens and predators, I had just watched this since …

I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …

I decided to buy the movie “50 First Dates”, after watching the trailer and seemed to be interesting; however in the end I was very disappointed due to the fact that this movie must represent the worst interpretation from actors, Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymore.
“50 First Dates” includes some …

My friend kept telling me that I should watch Garden State, she kept saying that it was such a good movie, a movie that I would really enjoy. This is including that fact that I I’m a big Natalie Portman fan and I found out that she was in …

We decided to rent the fourth Final Destination movie The Final Destination on Saturday. I’m not sure why we thought it would be as good as the first two (or even the crappy third one), but it proved to be somewhat of a mistake.
The movie had a plot that …

I don’t usually like J. Lo in films. But where this movie is concerned, I could easily overlook her mediocre acting skills. This movie follows the political red tape surrounding the investigations of hundreds of Mexican women near the U.S. Border. According to the …

I am not the biggest Hellboy fan around. Never read the comic books. Watched part of the live action movie starring Ron Pearlman, but didn’t find myself particularly enraptured by it. So I decided to give his first animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms (also starring …

I have always been a fan of old movies. You never hve to worry about there being bad language or explicit content, so they are always easy and fun to watch. Some of my very favorites are the musical ones like the Wizard of Oz, and now, The Harvey …

This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …

This movie, more than any movie before or since, did more to affect my life. It helped to define a career path, and it awoke in me a level of creativity I had never known. I was, needless to say, hooked.
The most intriguing aspect of Star Wars, was that, …

The only thing Brendan was known …

A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …

It was OK but I’m not sure it was as good as she expected.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as …

As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

I’ve been watching a lot of older movies lately; ones that came out when I was in junior high or high school. And, I’m finding that some of them are just as funny as they were when I first saw them.
The movie Young Einstein is one of those movies.
This …

From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …

The movie Monsieur Hire is a tragic type of movie. It is mainly about two separate persons who have no similar attributes except both are extremely lonesome. The subplot is about murder. In example, the initial scene of the movie shows that of a corpse. …

Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July is a two hour holiday movie that I enjoy. I just viewed it thi afternoon.
Rudolph and Frosty team up to help Milton, the flying ice cream man. It seems the Circus by the Sea is in trouble financially.
The evil Winterbolt …

It’s been quite some time since I last watched Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo. It was the first and last Filipino movie I watched that reminded me of flashes of European cinema brilliance.
And then along came Ploning.
Judy Ann Santos speaking Cuyunon in Cuyo, Palawan with numerous unknown faces is the making …

This is, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. Of course, at the same time, it is also one of the funniest, solely because it is one of the most pitiful excuses for entertainment I have ever encountered. Which is a …

I love it, and its as entertaining now as it was when it was made in 1985 Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd excel in this film which sends them back to the past where they get stuck and need to find a way, well - back to …

Arrow is an extremely popular TV Show. It’s well into its 3rd season and it’s as amazing as it was when it first started in October of 2012. The series has become such a favourite with people that a spin-off TV show, The Flash, debuted this past October. Both shows …

Raise your voice is another movie of hillary duff. It is about a small town girl who got this amazing voice, a voice of a big-time singer. Her name in this film is terri. To follow her dreams she needs to go to los angeles for the summer …

Showgirls is one of the most idiotic, lame and stupid movies I’ve ever has the non-pleasure of watching. Elizabeth Berkley attempts to pull off her pitiful character, Nomi, and fails miserably. I never thought much of Elizabeth Berkley and her acting anyway, and Showgirls was the straw that broke …

I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …

Mary and Max is a 2009 animation, comedy and drama movie directed by Adam Elliot. I recently had a great experience watching claymation animation movies, so I was looking for more. My search ended up on Mary and Max.
The movie proved to be a total disappointment. I hardly …

The Farrelly Brothers have been releasing a lot of duds. Trying to resurrect themselves they decided to remake the 1972 classic comedy, which shares the same name as the remake. The Heartbreak Kid is not the next big comedy from the Farrelly Brothers, it will leave you with a …

The 2004 version of ‘Man on Fire’ is a cracking film which, although it contains a hell of a lot of action and violence, is far from your average one-dimensional action flick. Starring one of my favourite actors, Denzel Washington, as ex-CIA assassin ‘Creasy’ who initially has no …

Absence of Malice is a marvelous Paul Newman movie. He plays Michael Gallagher, the son of a late mafia boss. He’s not in the business, but one day he picks up the newspaper and sees that his name has been plastered all over it with a bunch …

This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …

Ratatouille is a great movie for the whole family. It kept me and my sister who is 7 years old interested throughout the whole movie. The only thing that I would say is that the movie drag out a little bit, they could have made it shorter. It was …

I didn’t get to see this movie in the theaters when it was released. With the DVD I spent my hard earn money and popped this bad boy into my Playstation 3. When it was all said and done I was pretty glad I didn’t see this in the …

One of the best superhero movies I remember seeing in a long time had to be the Marvel movie “Deadpool”. I remember there was this great anticipation of what the movie would be like, and then I read and heard a lot of good reviews about the movie while it …
