Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is a great cartoon movie! This was another Red Box dvd kiosk rental, and it was well worth it! I rented it for my 7 yr old daughter, but I loved watching it too! This movie was a shocker for me because I …
Movie Gothika
This is one of my favorite movies. The first time watching it all my focus was on the movie. It was very entertaining to watch. It kept me watching throughout the whole thing wondering what’s happening next and scared a little. It also has a very good story to …
Goblet of Fire
I am reviewing the Harry Potter movie, Goblet of Fire. Goblet of Fire is number four in the series. The whole movie revolves around a Triwizarding tournament, which Harry gets volunteered in to. Along the way, we meet a new character: Mad Eye Moody. We find out all sorts …
The Unborn (2009) movie
The Unborn, directed by David S. Goyer and starring Odette Yustman, Gary Oldman, and Meagan Good is a movie with a lot of scary visuals. The story concerns a young woman named Casey. She finds herself haunted by strange dreams of a malevolent child. When she begins to see …
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
This movie was, in a word, charming. I went to this movie with a couple of my friends and I think they enjoyed it too. I haven’t seen any other movies with these actors, but I think I would. The movie was light despite the melancholy setting (right at …
A Knight’s Tale
A Knight’s Tale is all about the actor, Heath Ledger ability in interpreting a 14th Century super hero with a comic aspect. It is really strange writing a review about such a brave actor who recently left the world too soon when he had so much to give to …
Lucky Number Slevin
This is one of the fewest movies that the ending really makes the movie. It had Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Lucy Liu, Ben Kingsley, and some other good actors. This movie kept me entertained and interested in the whole entire movie. You do have to pay a …
High School Musical: Bubblegum Pop
There’s nothing better than a hot cup of cocoa and a movie. Inasmuch as the acting is flat, the characters vapid and bordering on caricature, the music a work of a bygone age of pop, and a little too wholesome for high school, I had an amazing time watching …
Mission to Mars Movie
Brian De Palma is a filmmaker I used to be big fan of. When I first saw his incredibly powerful films from the 1980s, like Scarface and The Untouchables, he become one of my favorites, but unfortunately he proved to be a very uneven director who got worse with …
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I always get overly entertained and would laugh like mad whenever I see performances by Adam Sandler. He has done it again this time and made me laugh like a crazy hyena in the newly title and newly released, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.
Zohan is …
The Jackal (1997)
Russian mobsters hired a very eccentric hit man to take out the persons involved in the killing of his brother. With a total cost of $70 million dollars for the job payable in two installations of half now and the rest when the job is done, this assassin went …
Broken Arrow movie
Back in the late 1980s, the director John Woo used to make some visually interesting films, but none of these had any depth, there was nothing beyond that beautiful surface. When he later was offered film projects in Hollywood, he couldn’t turn them down for the money.
While there he …
Gridiron Gang Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
I loved this movie because it showed that you can discipline with a heart. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson portrayed a great role model who cared about others. Despite the fact that these kids had major issues with the law and had been given up on, he decides to take …
Wolfman (2010) movie
Since I had already watched the older version of this movie once or twice, and had some respect for it, when someone told me that a newer version was coming out earlier on this year, I couldn’t wait to see it. I had all these expectations that whomever was …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a tale of one young boy that wins a golden ticket that allows him to access the mystical Wonka Candy Factory. This candy factory is owned by one strange chocolatier, Willy Wonka. He is not a public person, so that he is …
Boogeyman Movie
Another pitiful attempt in trying to create a horror movie, why do they even bother, it’s clear to see that they don’t have a clue about scaring people. This film is plagued with alot of misdirection or better yet, no direction at all. If this man is supposed to …
John Tucker Must Die
“John Tucker Must Die” is a cute romantic comedy targeting teenagers. The interesting aspect of this movie is that it includes a lot of Hollywood rising stars such as Brittany Snow, Jesse Metcalfe, Penn Badgley, Sophia Bush, Ashanti and Arielle Kebbel. These actors are mostly know for their involvement …
Arthur and the Invisibles movie
One of the things which really stuck out about the partly animated “Arthur and the Invisibles” was the animation. I can remember thinking it was unlike any I had ever seen and it helped to rekindle my excitement of wanting to go into animation and special effects in the …
The Other Sister (movie)
The Other Sister is a movie that my family loves. The Other Sister is the story of a mentally challenged young woman who is way under her mother’s thumbs, yes both of them! Her mother, played so well by Diane Keaton, wants to protect Carla, but is really stifling …
Movie Happy Feet
This is one of the best cartoons I’ve seen so far. The trailer didn’t look so promising so I never watched this in the theaters. I seldom want to pay for cartoons anyway. Luckily, one of my relatives bought me a DVD version which they said was on sale. …
End of Watch (movie)
I remember I couple months ago, one of my friends and I spontaneously decided to go see a movie while we were out. At the time the most interesting thing that was playing seemed to be the movie “End of Watch” of which I knew almost nothing about. I …
The Women movie
The Women is based upon a movie classic from 1939. The claim to fame of this film is that there are no men in the film, not even in passing. In parts Meg Ryan is very entertaining but I am a fan of Meg and all her characters are …
Fun with Dick and Jane movie
Yes, this movie was funny but I miss the old Jim Carrey. This is not nearly as funny as some of his prvious hits like Liar, Liar or Ace Ventura. This movie is more up to par with Bruce Almighty so it definitely has its funny parts …
12 Monkeys: movie
12 Monkeys is a strange, mind bender of a movie starring Brad Pitt (as a mental patient) and Bruce Willis (as a time traveler searching for the source of a mysterious plague that wiped out most of the earth’s inhabitants.) James Cole is a convict living in a …
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …
Open the Door Richard movie short
I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
I just don’t know what to say, or should I …
Bloodrayne
I love vampire movies so it should be a bit surprising I didn’t get around to watching the film Bloodrayne until tonight.
The movie was OK but not as good as I thought it would be.
The problem with movies based on video games is they tend to assume you actually …
Monsters versus Aliens
We got a chance to watch the movie Monsters versus Aliens this past weekend. When we did, I figured it would be something our daughter would like but I didn’t expect my wife and I to be entertained too.
There is a great cast of voices ranging from Reese Witherspoon …
The Creeping Man
I am reviewing The Creeping Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …
21 movie
It took me a couple of times to finally watch this movie the whole way through. Overall it was kind of boring but a decent movie. You need to watch the movie the whole way through because the ending is what made the movie a little better in my …
Movie: Zombie Strippers
Synopsis: After a successful mission destroying zombies in a government complex, a bitten soldier flees his comrades to avoid getting killed and takes refuge in a strip club. When he turns, he bites one of the local strippers, turning her into one of the undead and, at the same …
10,000 B.C. (Movie)

Shakespeare in love
Shakespeare in love is a movie which is really well made and which is worth watching. It is a nice drama with Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow as the leading actors. It is the story of the world’s best master storyteller William Shakespeare. Shakespeare does stage in a town …
Skyfall movie
The film experience of Skyfall, I think is totally vigorous; and energizing for the audience member. It was for me: that is certain. I believe: Daniel Craig in the role of Bond is a Bond character that continues to grow on you–for certain. At first …
A Series of Unfortunate Events (The Movie)
Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ is a movie that documents the first three books of the series of the same name. The movie, like with most movies adapted from books, was a rather aggravating contrast from the real book. Unlike other movies however the real contrast came …
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
After a phenomenal television series, I was extremely disappointed with “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” by Chris Carter. Five or six years after Special Agent Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully escaped from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the FBI acquired a case which needed the expertise …
Nick of Time - Movie
What a bloody waste of time! There were a few reasons why I wanted to see this. First it stared Johnny Depp and I enjoy his work as an actor and wanted to check some of his lesser known films (there’s a reason why it’s barely mentioned). The video …
Sliver (1993)
Sliver, directed by Phillip Noyce is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was May 21, 1993 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Romance/Thriller and stars Sharon Stone as Carly Norris, William Baldwin as Zeke Hawkins and Tom …
Land of the Dead movie
This is the fourth film in George A Romero’s zombie film series (supposed to be a trilogy, but..). It follows the films Night of the living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985). My own personal favorite is the first film, mostly because …
Thirteen Ghosts (movie)
I don’t know about you all but I enjoy the series called Mr Monk on cable. Before Mr Monk came on the TV, the star of the show was in a movie called Thirteen Ghosts.
Although this movie would never win an academy award, it was interesting …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …
The Elephant Man Movie
“The Elephant Man” tells the story of John Merrick, a young Englishman born with a rare disease, possibly what is now called Proteus Syndrome. Horribly disfigured, John is being shown as a curiosity at carnivals and other events under the name of the Elephant Man. That’s where a London …
A Walk To Remember
I saw this movie back when I was in college. I never really like Mandy Moore as an actress but my boyfriend at that time wanted to watch it. This movie was also based from the book entitled A Walk To Remember also. I am not a Mandy Moore …
Movie : Shutter Island
My wife has been wanting to see the movie Shutter Island for some time now. So, for our anniversary this past weekend, I decided to take her to the theater to see it.
It was OK but I’m not sure it was as good as she expected.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as …

This sequel to the block buster original simply called ‘Dirty Dancing’ is basically the same movie but instead of it being staged in the United States of America, it was staged in Cuba. A young girl from a well off family goes to a retreat and falls for the …
Madea’s Family Reunion movie
I love Tyler Perry movies and was really anxious to see “Madea’s Family Reunion”, yet another movie with his unforgettable Madea character dispensing out advice that is somewhere between being wacky and wise. Tyler Perry wrote, directed and starred in this film about members of Madea’s family planning both …
Legally Blonde
