The Crow movie
Perhaps most renowned for the fact that Brandon Lee (yes, the son of kung fu legend Bruce Lee) died during filming under similar circumstances as his father did twenty years earlier. The Crow is originally a comic book series and tells the story of a man seeing his wife …
Stargate SG-1 - Broca Divide
“Broca Divide” is the fourth episode of the first season of “Stargate SG-1″. It’s an all-time fan favorite, and I love it. There are several notable events about this episode.
It’s the first show where we meet the spunky redhead physician, “Janet Fraiser”, played by Teryl Rothery. …
Night at the museum DVD

Watchmen the movie
I recently went to see The Watchmen movie. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Mind you, I had never read the comic book. The only thing I did before I went to see the movies was I looked up the storyline on Wikipedia and talked …
The New Adventures of Old Christine
The New Adventures of Old Christine stars Julia Louise Dreyfus. With an excellent supporting cast of nobodies, Dreyfus creates a very funny series and shows why she was an intricate star in Seinfeld.
She can definitely carry a show. Why is this frying pan faced …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …

I love You, Man is the story of a “bromance.” It features Paul Rudd as Peter, a man on the verge of getting married, but who has no real close male friends to be his best man, and Jason Segel as Sydney Fife, an investor, who happens to be …
The Matrix (science fiction action movie)
I remember watching the movie “The Matrix” years ago when I was still a child and being completely impressed by the effects and action and being completely blown out of the water by the storyline. However, the problem is that I never really understood it or understood what the Matrix …
Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …
Movie Apocalypto
This movie is excellent in every way but I was skeptical until I sat down to watch it. Mel Gibson directs an action packed story-line that grabs your adrenaline first and your heart second. In the beginging of this movie you are introduced to a tribe of early Aztec …
Movie Halloween
We recently switched to Direct TV in our house and, because of that, we have a few movie channels that we didn’t have before (only for a couple months though).
One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …

Time of the Gypsies movie
This is the incredibly heartbreaking film by Emir Kusturica that won the golden palm in Cannes. Kusturica portraits a gypsy family that is slightly bizarre in the way they act, at least from my own point of view. However, the eldest son of the family falls in love with …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
The Trojan War movie
When I first read the description for the Trojan War I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. In fact, the only reason I even decided to watch it is it was too early to go to bed and there was nothing else on.
After watching it, I …

The Jacket (2005 movie)
This is a very confusing thriller if you don’t pay close attention to detail. It also shows what could happen in a mental institution that has a lack of morality and responsibility. This movie shows what happens to one such patient. He is convicted under cause of insanity for …
Just Go With It movie
Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …
Sex and the City 2 Movie
When the first Sex and the City movie was shown on the big screen, hundreds of thousands of eager girls and ladies awaited. We weren’t disappointed, it was all glam, glittery, sparkling! We wanted more. We never wanted the movie to end!
When the trailer for Sex and the City …
Movie: Furry Vengence
As I mentioned in another review, my daughter convinced my wife to get movies from one of those movie kiosks this past weekend (they just don’t seem to understand we have Netflix for a reason). Since she got two movies for the price of one, my wife decided to …
Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
Eight Men Out
I am reviewing the movie, Eight Men Out, which was released in 1988. This movie centers on the 1919 fall of American Sports, when the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series. The film centers around Shoeless Joe Jackson, played by DB Sweeny; Eddie Cicotte, played by David Strathairn; …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
This movie is a good movie but it just didn’t have something. I think that’s what they call ‘B’ movies. But those ‘B’ movies sure are fun to watch ! I love how this kind of wedding is depicted; all of the family, the traditions, etc. I love how …

WitchBoard
WitchBoard is a pretty creepy movie. I think this movie is scary and pretty cool. If you are scared of ouija board this movie will give you a reason to fear them more. It’s about a group of friends who mess around with the board one night. The spirit gets …
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989 movie)
I first saw “The Fabulous Baker Boys” about twenty years ago, but I still catch parts of it now when it shows up on one of the cable channels. The movie is a straightforward drama about brothers Frank and Jack Baker, portrayed by real-life brothers Beau and Jeff Bridges. …

Pet Sematary
Pet Sematary is s very scary movie. I think this is one of Stephen King’s best movies ever made to date. The thing that was scary about this movie was that is had lots of things to do with death and ghosts. I also think that the movie was scary …

Precious was a moving story based on the novel Push by Sapphire. I went to the show a few weeks ago to see it. There were some unexpected parts in the movie which proved difficult or disturbing to watch, but it was still a must-see movie. It told the …

Facebook is a worldwide phenomenon that has hit almost every person, every nation and every computer in the whole world. With nearly billions of registered netizens, Facebook might even rank next to China if it were a country. So where exactly did this virtual sensation started? It all began …
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 …

Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …

Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …
Disturbia movie
When I saw this film come out in theatres, I thought that it would be just like all the others out there. There are always those teen films with the requisite killer, and one of those teens ends up dying, etc. etc. But this movie was …
