Movie: The Adventures of Robin Hood
I had heard of the movie The Adventures of Robin Hood but I had only seen bits and pieces of it until yesterday afternoon. It was raining out and I had nothing better to do (since my entire day had been planned as an outdoor yard work day) so …
The Bourne Identity movie
Matt Damon stars as a killer…hmmm, where has this ever been done before. While this film could have been a great film, it fails to deliver the goods. I was left wanting no more after it was all said and done with. The characters were robotic and no life …
Film “Session 9″ (2001)
This was a very slow movie that I did not enjoy. The film is about a crew of asbestos removal men who are hired to clean up an old insane asylum that was shut down around 15 years before. My major complaints about this film are that …
The Good German
Back to basics. This film was shot entirely in black and white, reminiscient of the old days of film-making, before special effects or computer graphics. Risky, but it proved brilliant. The lack of digital enterntainment required the actors to step up to the plate, and they did so much …
Mercury Rising (1998)

Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
10,000 B.C. (Movie)
My friend really pushed me into watching this movie that honestly I really dreaded to watch. I really felt that it is simply a waste of time to be watching “cavemen” fighting one another and I was really keen on watching some kind of a romantic comedy or some …
Inside Man
When I first saw the preview for Inside Man, my excitement level wasn’t as high as it is expected to be with a movie that has two of my favorite actors ever, Clive Owen and Denzel Washington (also I believe that Spike Lee is an underrated director). Nothing …
Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …
Notting Hill (1999 movie)
Notting Hill was a sweet movie. I might be a bit biased because I really like Julia Roberts in romantic comedies and Hugh Grant is very good as the confused love interest (has he ever played a role where he knows what is going on?)
I particularly liked one montage …
Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …
Movie Waterworld
Waterworld, directed by Kevin Reynolds is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Kevin Costner as Mariner and Dennis Hopper as Deacon.
Contrary to popular critisms, I love this movie, it can do no wrong in my book. It does not matter that if it failed …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …
Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs
I finally discovered the beef my daughter has with Cinderella over Snow White. I can see her point to a degree. Here is Snow White, much loved by all and Walt’s first major cartoon star, and what do they do? They give Cinderella a huge castle, make it the …
Sweet Home Alabama DVD
I watched the movie Sweet home Alabama with my friends, my friend recommended me to buy the DVD as she went to watch this movie. Since I watched, the movie I felt was somewhat good. It was just like any other romantic comedy I have seen but it was …
She’s The One
She’s The One stars Ed Burns, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Anniston, and John Mahoney. Here is an example of a simple story that cannot be classified neither good nor bad.
Two brothers, along with their father, face the challenges of love. So what! Aside from …
What Lies Beneath (2000)
A ghostly story about a man and his wife and the mistress that was never found after her death so many years before. This is a case of not knowing a person’s past before you actually get involved with them and ultimately meet your demise at the hands of …
The Notebook movie
The Notebook is one of the sweetest movie i have ever watched. It’s the top one on my list.The story is about Allie and Noah.The first time Noah ask Allie to have date was really horrible. If you can just can see me now I’m laughing. It’s horrible …
My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …
Unfaithful Movie
This movie I found scary in a way that it’s hard to get involved danger and when you’re playing with fire there’s always bad karma around the corner for you, not only is it inappropriate but when you’re unfaithful to someone, the guilt and the conscience just doesn’t feel …
Murder on St. Malley’s Day movie
I am reviewing the movie, Murder on St. Malley’s Day, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004, was produced by Brian May, directed by Peter Smith, and was written by Andrew Payne. This movie was based on the novels of Caroline Graham.
This movie …
Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …
Without a Trace Movie
This movie may be little known to the general public.But is shown frequently on most cable and satellite channels. It is one of the most heart warming and heart wrenching movies i’ve ever seen.It involves the disappearance of an 8 year old little boy on his way to school.The …
The Killer movie

Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …
Hoosier Schoolboy movie
The beginning of Hoosier Schoolboy introduces the audience to a town divided by some kind of milk strike. The farmers are being accused of high pricing, so milk is being brought in from elsewhere. I have to admit, in my entire life, I have never heard of …
DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp
I think DuckTales The Movie the movie was just great. I remember watching this film as a kid and loving it. And hey I still like to watch it today. I have always been a fan of the duck tales and I always loved the TV show. So of course …
“Drag Me To Hell” (2009 Film)
If you are in the mood for a scary movie to give you goose bumps and make you want to shut your eyes, then the 2009 film “Drag Me to Hell” is not for you. While the movie was a little creepy, it was also fairly pointless, leaving me …
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. …
Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.
Black does the voice of Po, a worker in a noodle restaurant who aspires to be a Kung fu master and, through a series of …
Sumuru movie
Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …
Shoot Em Up (2007)
Shhot Em up, Directed by Michael Davis is Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Clive Owen as Smith, Paul Giamatti as Hertz and Monica Bellucci as Donna.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier , movie by the Rosso brothers
1st and foremost, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is the best action film out of the whole Marvel movie universe so far, with no exceptions. Just in terms of sheer impact, choreography, execution, clarity of geography and did I mention impact? Because WOW was this film good!. If that …

Street Kings
“Street Kings” is a unique drama movie that will keep you hooked watching it till the end. The most interesting thing about this movie is that you will get to watch three great actors Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker and Chris Evans as you have never …
Red Cliff movie
The title of the movie does not give away much about the movie itself, although it will give you an idea that it is a place or location which will be significant in the movie.
Basically, this is a war movie set in ancient China wherein a very powerful Prime …
The Sons of Mistletoe (2002 Film)
Recently, for the holiday season, I came across a movie that was being showed on ABC Family called “The Sons of Mistletoe”. The film came out in 2001. Being that the film was on ABC Family, I figured I could count on this film being one that was heartwarming …
Couples Retreat
When I first saw Couples Retreat I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The movie has gotten some pretty bad reviews and has even been in the papers for some racist actions.
Firstly I must say that the producers did a terrible thing when they edited out the …
