Lansing Mall Cinema
If we are going to see a movie in the weekend, we would consider Lansing Mall Cinema. It is as good as the other cinema. It is clean and cozy. Bathroom is neat and you can even take a nap right there inside the bathroom. …
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (hereafter “Fellowship”) is the first movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In many ways, it is also the best of the three. Of course each has its own unique strengths. There is not a …
Movie: Fingerprints
When my wife picked out the movie Fingerprints off our Netflix instant watch queue last night, I honestly wasn’t expecting a whole lot from the movie. After all, most of the so-called horror films out there are nothing more than soft-core porn in disguise or think extra blood and …
Bicentennial Man movie
This Robin Williams movie was a delightful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to like Bicentennial Man at all. Williams may be a terrific comic, but his films don’t usually thrill me personally. There are exceptions, of course, like Awakenings, which is why I decided to give this flick …
Sword master (Chinese Movie)
Sword master is a 3D martial art movie by Derek Yee. It’s based on a novel by Gu Long.
I didn’t catch the movie when it was out in the theaters as it didn’t attract me in anyway. I didn’t like the cast nor the plot(from what I understand from the …
They Call it Murder movie
They Call it Murder, a 1971 TV film, had a nice opening that I rather loved. The opening credits included a still photo and an action scene of each of the main stars as their name popped up. I applaud the director, Walter Graumann, for this. …
NetFlix
What a pain having to go all the way to the video store and walk around forever finding what you want. For a long time I didn’t even go out and rent movies because it was just too much of a hassle. Also I hated the restrictions of how …
Lucy (2014 film)
While the trailers made this movie look like a formulaic popcorn flick, I had heard generally good things about this movie. The truth is, it is something of a mixed bag.
As the trailers show, the movie follows a young woman (played by Scarlett Johansson) who becomes something superhuman …

Jaws
Jaws is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. And Jaws is also the reason I’m scared to go in the water when I’m at the beach. This movie can really scare people and really make you feel uncomfortable. I really did enjoy the music in jaws. The …

Unthinkable (movie)
Recently I watched a suspense movie named “Unthinkable”. One of the main reasons why it stood out was because it was more of a psychological thriller. I thought that this was unique since basic plots like these which have terrorist and the United States military tend to have a …
Jailhouse Rock movie
It is unfortunately very rare that Elvis Presley ever had a chance to really show off his acting abilities. He was much more talented than his resume shows. Jailhouse Rock from 1957 is a movie where the king of rock and roll does get to show some …
Equilibrium (R, 2002) movie
I have been passing over this film in my queue for a couple of years now. I finally decided to give it a chance, and immediately realized what my inner voice had been telling me for quite a while. This movie is crap. Sorry for …
17 Again movie
WHen I saw the movie “17 Again” advertising earlier on this year, I had no intention of watching it for several reasons. The main one was because the lead actor was supposed to be the Disney actor Zac Effron who is famous for movies such as High School Musical …
Movie: The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender is a movie I would not pay for to see again. However, that doesn’t mean it was necessarily a bad movie. The effects were dead on, the casting was great, and the accuracy to the cartoon wasn’t bad either.
However, it was not long enough, and …

Benhur
I do really appreciate the movie “Benhur.” For me it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The leading actor Charleton Hestone played his role excellently as well as other participants in the movie. It is the best religious film for men. I feel closer …
Miami Blues (1990)

Through the entire movie, Alec’s character goes around mugging people and stealing their personal belongings without regret. He happens to mug a police officer and steal his fire arm, badge …
Spy (2015 Comedy Action Spy Movie)
I generally detest most movies with the comedian Melissa McCarthy playing a major role in them because I just don’t think she’s that funny. However, when I was sitting in the theatre watching another movie and I saw the trailer for this one I decided, “Hey, why not give this …
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (movie)
The only thing about the trailer of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” that interested me was that Ben Stiller seemed to be playing the main role. This is because Stiller is one of my favourite comedy actors, and I thought did a great job in movies such as “There’s …
Lost First Season
I really love watching the season, Lost. I think that it has a lot of educational things and keeps the mind going around thinking what will happen next, and who will be the next victim. This Complete First Season is a very important one for me, as …
On the Outs (R, 2004) movie
I had never heard of this movie before. But when I saw that it was about three troubled teenaged girls on the East Coast, I was immediately intrigued. This is because independent films featuring adolescents in New York or New Jersey (which this story took place) …
The Forbidden Kingdom
The Forbidden Kingdom : I watched this movie last week. It starts Jackie Chain, and Jet Lee as leads. Lee is in double role. The story is a fantasy, which takes us to an imaginary land o, with entertains us with Kung Fu stunts, and some nice …
Chorlette’s web
I watched the movie Chorlette’s web recently and I didn’t really like the movie at all. The movie which has Dakota Fanning in the lead role is just a mindless movie and it definitely doesn’t have any story at all. Dakota saves a piglet and she keeps it with …
Ghost and Mrs Muir
I love movies, it is one of my favorite pasttimes. I like old movies also, some of them are so well done that they are truly classics. I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a 1947 movie entitled The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
The story …

Flesh and Bone
Flesh and Bone with Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The title picked up my attention, but I guess it was just a trick to get me to watch a boring mundane movie. I suppose it was meant to be flesh and …

I’m with lucy movie
I watched “I’m with Lucy” today on Lifetime movie network. It was better than I thought. At first I wasn’t going to watch it when it came on. I was kind of tired of watching television, but once I saw it on for a few minutes I got interested …
28 Days Later movie
Okay, they’re not zombies. They’re very much alive human beings infected with a virulent virus that transforms the most soppy and placid person into a homicidal, red eyed lunatic. They’re never referred to as zombies once in the script and the rules of this new movie monster are very …
Asterix and the Olympics
First, I can’t remember the first Asterix movie I watched, but I remember it was very funny. I’m disappointed by this one though, more details later. If you’ve read their comics, then you know that Asterix and Obelix are a lovable character from the Gaul village in …
Enchanted (Movie)
This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …
Love Affair movie
To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …
Resident Evil 2: Apocaylpse
Racoon City is about to be destroyed by the zombie horde released from the Hive by Umbrella. Run for your lives!! Seriously, this movie didn’t give me high hopes on being a movie with interest in it, but I was moderately surprised. There were so many questions that were …

Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian
Recently my kids and I watched “Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian”; we saw how funny it looked on its trailer and wanted to buy it. Immediately after watching it I wanted to do a review and decided on one thing: if a movie that …

Wall*e
Wall*e is such a cute movie. I rented it for my kids the day that it was finally available on DVD.
It’s a story about a trash robot that was left on earth, along with other trash robots, all most seven hundred years ago. Humans had made so much trash …
Enchanted
I have heard mixed reviews about Enchanted around the web, so I decided to add my two cents. I thought this was a beautiful movie. It includes all the romanticism a Disney “princess” movie should, while adding the real life element to set it apart, and including references to …

Dodgeball movie
Comedy about a team of nerds who decide to team up in a dodgeball competition and defeat their rivals. That’s the whole plot of this film so it doesn’t really leave a lot of room for thought. The humor is of a kind that don’t appeal to me at …
