Movie Yes Man
Today I saw the newest Jim Carrey movie, Yes Man at the cinema. Like the other Jim Carrey’s movie, it’s a drama comedy movie that can make me laugh and entertein me.
The story is about a man named Car (Jim Carrey)l, who always say ‘no’ in his life and …
Daredevil Movie
Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …
Powder (1995 movie)
This movie grabs a hold of you and doesn’t let go until you reach the very end. It captivates you and it keeps on giving that true movie experience. You want to see what happens next, you want to see where the movie is leading, you want to find …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs
I adore Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There’s enough ‘people’ drama and ’supernatural’ drama all rolled into one. The comedy makes it easy to watch. You get really involved in the characters. I love the way the product is packaged. I haven’t fully explored the special features options but they …

The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …

Happy Feet
I feel like a child again, caught in a world of fantasy and make-belief; and everything will turn out all right if I behave myself and try harder.
The starting music sets the pace it is catchy and rocking. I feel affection and compassion for Mumble, the …

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I picked up the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a movie that I figured would be halfway entertaining but would lack when compared to other X-Men films. It turns out it was one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine, a mutant with the ability …
Gladiator: Anatomy of a Prison Murder (R, 2002)
This movie was a bit more brutal than I imagined it would be. I am a huge fan of horror movies, the gorier the better. And I even like films that depict some of the rather disturbing crimes occurring in recent years. However, this …
The Heiress
There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …
The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
Hotel Rwanda movie
Depicting the horrible massacre in Rwanda in the 1990s, this film features an excellent Don Cheadle as the man who tries to save as many people from being killed as he can. Unfortunately, the film focuses all to much on the mere sentimental parts, and leaves the audience practically …
The Haunted Mansion movie
I wonder how this movie was made. As I think about it, something like this comes to mind: a bunch of movie-makers comes together and says - “Okay, let’s make a comedy flick. Let’s have a nice mansion with ghosts and dead guys in it, that seems to be …
The Internship (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was a comedy named “The Internship” starring the popular comedy actors Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. While I didn’t think that it was the funniest movie that I had seen recently, I still thought that it was interesting and light-hearted …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Yes, Jack Sparrow is back. Johnny Depp has proved once again that he’s one of the best actors in the world. Why? Because he managed to achieve a good role in, maybe, one of the weakest plots and one of the worst directions in the history of the movie …

A Few Good Men

Sex and Death 101 DVD Movie
Alright, before you get too skeptical about the DVD title movie, Sex and Death 101, let me tell you that this movie is actually pretty harmless, minus all the ‘racy’ scenes, which I’m not interested at all. I just love the comedic storyline and here is it.

Music and Lyrics
Where do you get your inspiration in anything? The movie “Music and Lyrics” tries to answer that question, and in this case, for a song.

X-Men 3 movie

Bubba Ho-Tep movie

Just My Luck movie
Lindsey Lohan isn’t exactly a star that draws me to a movie, so when we got Just My Luck from Netflix I was a bit skeptical about it.
Overall though, it was a pretty good movie.
Lohan plays a woman who is extremely lucky but ends up giving an unlucky guy …
Film Pretty Woman (1990)
This movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts came out in 1990. When it first came out my mom did not want me to see it because she worried it made prostitution look attractive to kids. Now that I am an adult I do agree …

Unnatural Causes is another of P.D. James novels put into a British movie that often aired on PBS in America. This is from 1993, giving us a bit younger Inspector Adam Dalgliesh than I’m used to at this point. He even has a love life when this …
Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …
