The Exorcist
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist, starring Jason Miller. Everyone knows what this movie is about, or regarding, so I’ll try to be brief on the summary. Jason Miller’s character, Damien Karras, is a priest who’s lost his faith. He has more interest in looking …
16 Blocks
I’m tired this morning. I had hoped to go to bed at a decent hour last night but then the movie 16 Blocks came on television. My wife and I started watching it and had intended to turn it off early; figuring it would be on again another day. …
Death Sentence, movie
Kevin Bacon heads into new territory as a father in pain on the march for revenge. I thought that the film was close to the plot of the “Death Wish” films but was surprised that there were enough differences to make the film a decent movie. There is …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …
Evolution Movie
Science Fiction comedy in the same category as Ghostbusters for example. A meteorite hits the earth and brings with it a strange new form of life that threatens to take over the planet, or does it?
There’s not much to say about this. If you liked Ghostbusters, Men in Black …
Movie Anger Management
If you want to watch a good movie and forget about any stress you may have, well don’t choose to watch “Anger Management”. This is an incredible hiliarious movie with the actors, Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson at their best in opposite roles. I believe that if you are …
She’s the Man movie
I am reviewing the movie, She’s the Man, starring Amanda Bynes. This movie is loosely based on William Shakespeare’s novel, Twelfth Night. There is Sabastian, a music lover and soccer player. He has a sister named Viola. She’s really good at soccer, but after the girl’s team is …
Columbo: No Time to Die movie
There were a string of these Columbo movies that really just didn’t quite cut the mustard for me, and this was one of them. I’m not sure what the problem was. Perhaps it’s the lack of star power, that really charismatic murderer that grabbed your attention and …
Happy Feet Movie
A blast from the very beginning! Happy Feet is a unique movie that kids can enjoy as much as parents. The lead characters are lovable from the get go, and have you rooting for them the whole way through. A small sidenote thrown into the movie about living in …
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
“Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle” was supposed to be the sequel to the previous Charlie’s Angles movie “Charlie’s Angels” which was released in the year 2000. I found I liked the sequel much less than I liked the previous movie for very many reasons. One of those reasons was that …
Resident Evil: Extinction
If you have seen one zombie movie, you have seen them all. I know that fans of such movies will disagree, but really, what can these movies be about except a bunch of decomposing dead folks walking around threatening the living, and the living trying to get rid of …
Where the Wild Things Are
As a child, I was fascinated with the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, and years later, I enjoyed reading it to my own kids. I didn’t have an excuse to see the movie, and I had thought about asking one of my friends’ children to accompany me, …
Swordfish movie
Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …
Sin City (2005)
Directors: Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino. Featuring: Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson,

Disturbia
Shia LaBeouf starreer Disturbia is a really well directed thriller movie. I recently watched the movie on DVD and I must say I loved it very much. The movie had all the elements in a right mixture and this makes it a very good thriller movie. The best thing …

Movie Ever After
At first, i was hesitant to watch this kind of movie. I was thinking that it was just an ordinary cinderella story that i had known since i was a kid. Until one day, my siblings are watching “Ever After” and i have no choice but to …
The Godfather: Part Two
The Godfather: Part Two continues the story of the Corleone family as they try to move to more legitimate businesses. At the same time, it includes flashbacks to Vito Corleone’s trip to America and his early years in the country. The movie makes it clear that the paths that …
Wolf Movie
I love werewolf movies. But, until last night, I had never seen the 1994 film, Wolf.
Well, I finally got a chance to see it and found it really wasn’t worth the wait.
Jack Nicholson is pretty decent as a business man who gets bit by a wolf and starts turning …

Constant Gardener movie
If you went by the description on the back of the movie, the Constant Gardener is the best thriller to ever come to DVD. But, had there been anything better on television, I would have turned the movie off after the first 30 minutes.
Set in Africa, Justin Quayle, a …

The Last of the Mohicans movie
A great depiction of the classic novel by James Fenimore Cooper, directed by great visionary filmmaker Michael Mann who shows he’s not only good for gangster movies. A visually breathtaking film, but it also hits my heart on an emotional level. This is a lot thanks to the great …
From Russia with Love movie
The second 007 film shows Sean Connery again as the british super agent. This time he goes to Russia to fight the dangerous SPECTRE organisation, and of course meets a few women while he’s there.
From Russia with Love has a very similar pace and structure as the first film …

Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …

License to Wed is a mediocre romantic comedy about an engaged couple who are forced by their minister to undergo a pre marital course that is very difficult and and breaks them up. The minister is Robin Williams who cannot act in any movie without being ridiculous …
Broadcast News movie (1987)
(Holly Hunter, William Hurt, Albert Brooks)
Broadcast News tells the tale of three industrious players in the television news business: Jane (Hunter), the driven, nose-to-the-grindstone news producer; Aaron (Brooks), the hands-on, genius field reporter, whom Jane has worked closely with for many years; Tom (Hurt), the handsome but …
The Battle of Algiers (1967) - a militaristic movie
One readily used type of warfare, since the middle 40s has involved resistance fighters– not part of any particular governmental militaristic group. The resistance fighters attack standard armies; then seem to evaporate or blend back into the populous. Further, grenades have been thrown by individuals of civilian …

The animated animals are the focal point of this tale of a little fawn who grows to be a great prince of the forest. Growing with him are Thumper, a rabbit who tends to speak before thinking, and Flower, the shy skunk. Alongside this trio are a score of …
Bug
I really get the wrong idea when I first watch Bug. I thought it is some kind of a horror movie or something, but when in the end I realized that this story is something like the genre of ‘art movie’, displaying about life, people and their characters, …
National Security movie
I actually watched the movie “National Security” when I was in a bad mood and wanted to put a smile on my face and it did work out! Martin Lawrence and Steve Zahn acting abilities together with the plot of this movie full of interesting twist, made …
The Hangover Part III film
I was a huge fan of the first “Hangover” film, but not so impressed with the second film titled “The Hangover Part II” so going into this movie, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with “The Hangover Part III”. I had heard a few reviews before I …

What Happens in Vegas
I was very pleased with this movie ! It had Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher; pardon me if I got the spellings wrong, I’m too lazy tonight to check on them. These are usually two hollywood actors who make my stomach churn, but this movie was a delight ! …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a movie that is highly recommmended by on eof my friend, so I rented a DVD and watched it yesterday. It was one of thoise movies that makes you think a lot about life after you have finished watching it.
A simple story line of a …
A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
Mr Bean’s Holiday
“Mr. Bean’s Holiday” was the latest Mr. Bean movie to be released in theaters. However, at the time it was released, I was unable to go and see it with any of my friends because I didn’t have much time or money. I did not even get to watch …
Looney Tunes Back in Action
Normally, if there’s a movie that features cartoon characters talking to real actors, I’m not a huge fan.
Not that movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam didn’t have their moments; they just were a bit too corny for my tastes.
Looney Tunes Back in Action still fits that …

Rising Sun, directed by Philip Kaufman is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 30, 1993 for United States audience.

Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (UR, 2006) movie
I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …
Brothers movie
Note: This review contains spoilers!
“Brothers”, starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman is a movie that suffers from bad marketing. When I saw the trailer for it, I was expecting a psychological thriller, and instead found the movie to be more of a run of the mill drama. …
Spoorloos movie
This is a film in which the plot has to remain a secret to have any power to it. All I can say is that the film tells the story of a dutch couple on a vacation together. That’s how the film begins anyway, then there’s a twist and …
Dragnet
When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …
Frankie and Alice (2014 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Frankie and Alice back when it was first released in 2010, but never taken the time to watch it until the recent release in 2014.
As a fan of Halle Berry, I was eager to see this film. She is a fantastic actress, that brings …
The Number 23
I keep asking one question. ” why?” Why did someone decide to write this screenplay? Why did Joel Schumaker agree to make this film? Why did a production company think this would make a good movie idea? Why would Jim Carrey follow up a career in more serious films …
Message in a Bottle
Message in a Bottle is a story that every one will love because i do. It’s really strange how things happen specially when it comes to love. I really like the story because it was different from the other. A guy who throws a bottle with a love notes …
Henry and June movie
“Henry and June” was the name of a movie which was released in the nineteen nineties. When I first got cable television I used to see the movie going on regularly especially in the summer; however I didn’t pay much attention to it since I thought that it would …
