Movies Reviews
Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …
The Cat Returns Movie
Anime movie about a teenage girl who saves the life of a cat that starts talking to her, something that changes her life completely.
The film was produced by the famous studio Ghibli where Hayao Miyazaki is producing his films. However, this is not near the same class his his …
The Notebook movie
Although I don’t watch as much romantic movies as I do action/adventure thrillers, I saw The Notebook and I totally loved it. It really made me cry. It’s about Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), a young, wealthy teenage girl who vacations with her family to North Carolina. There she meets …
Tell him by Celine Dion
“Tell him, tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes.”. One line from the song tell him sang by Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand. I really like this song. Me and my friend always sings this song. Because this is the best song that fits our …
All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989)

Airplane movie
As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …
An American Werewolf in London movie
This is a mixture between comedy and horror about two young american men who goes on a trip to England. They are attacked by a werewolf out in the misty english landscape. One of them dies right there, while the other survives but is later tranformed into a blood-thirsty …
Constantine (2005)
This movie is quite disappointing. It really leads human thinking to nowhere. It’s simple as this, if you’re not for heaven, you go to hell. There are only two destinations. But this movie gives an exception to one man. There is no such thing …
Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …
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 …
American Beauty movie
While his wife (Annette Bening) is out sleeping with her competition in the real estate business, middle aged business man Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) gets fired from his job, blackmails his former boss, smokes pot, works out, lusts after a teenage girl and eventually gets murdered by his homophobic …
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
Superintelligence, movie (2020)
Mid-life soft comedies are a brand that Melissa McCarthy shaped and maintains to this day. At McCarthy’s instigation, as well as that of director Ben Falcone (who, by the way, is Melissa McCarthy’s husband), such films as “Big Boss” and “The Soul of the Company” appeared.
Mid-life soft …
Alive movie
An airplane crashes on a mountain in alaska and the rescue seems to be far away. The survivors are hopeful to begin with but when days go by and no rescue is coming everyone is beginning to panic and conflicts arise within the group. It’s extremely cold and the …
New Moon movie
While every other girl in the world was looking forward to New Moon I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found the first movie in the series Twilight entertaining but not worth all the fuss and the book was simple at best.
So I went in to see New …
Borrowed Hearts
Borrowed Hearts is one of my all time favorite Christmas movies. My mom, sister and I have to watch it every year. You can now buy the DVD of this movie or watch it on tv during the Christmas season. It stars Roma Downey, Hector Elizondo, and Eric McCormack(from …
Film Valkyrie
Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …
Legally Blonde movie
I remember first seeing the trailers for “Legally Blonde” when the movie came out in 2001; they promised some laughs, but overall, I wasn’t impressed and did not go to see the movie. Elle, the main character, seemed too “girly” for me: a fashion-freak blonde wearing pink & high …

The original release date was November 24, 2004 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Biography/Drama/Romance/War and stars Colin Farrell as Alexander, Angelina Jolie as …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
Casino Royale
I went to see the movie “Casino Royale” two days ago. I had heard that it had received good reviews, but I didn’t expect too much, based on previous James Bond movies. I was pleasantly surprised! The plot had been thoroughly modernized, but had plenty of …

JUNO
This Movie Rated PG13 ,it’s only 95 minutes not counting next attractions. Whow just who is this titular, quirky,sardonic, fresh-faced 16 or 17 years ol. Plalyed to perfection by Ellen Page. In the breakout performance of the year? maybe yes, maybe no. The opening minutes of the this movie …
The Night Listener movie
When I first popped this DVD in, I was a little apprehensive about watching Robin Williams portray another homosexual character in a film. It wasn’t until I did a little research, and realized that this film was based on a novel, which in turn was based on …
Mononoke (anime)
Holy! mother of god! I’m so addicted to this.
If you want a unique kind of art, storyline and not the typical anime character better watch this one.
Its so nice to watch a different kind of anime especially with its graphic art, if I’m not mistaken its called nouveau art. …

My life is really amazing movie.It was about a couple Bob and Gail Jones. Bob is a man who have everything,a good job and a beautiful loving wife but he found out he’s dying because of cancer.The worst thing is that her wife will give her first birth but …
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sometimes, as you get older, movies you liked as a teenager or even as a young adult suddenly start seeming really stupid. I think that might have been the case with the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
The interesting thing about Fast Times is I used to think of …
Inherit the Wind
At the heart of this film is a powerful controversy, one that still inspires heated debates today. On trial in this movie is not just a teacher’s right to teach certain subjects, but our right as American citizens to freedom of speech and freedom of choice.
Certain characters, mainly townsfolk, …
Save the Last Dance
I don’t see much interracial romantic movies so when this movie came out, I decided to watch it. Plus the fact that it stars Julia Stiles who I like so much because of the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (with Heath Ledger). Directed by Thomas Carter, Save …

Hitch
I saw Hitch weeks ago for the first time and I loved it! Will Smith, Kevin James and Eva Mendez were great together. It was a different role for Will Smith, but he pulled it off! I have rented that movie 2 more times since seeing it the first …
Hide and Seek
Last night I saw Hide and Seek in television, it’s a drama thriller movie starred by my favorite actor, Robert de Niro and Dakota Fanning. It full of intends from beginning until the end movie.
The story is about psycho daddy starred by Robert de Niro and his daughter Emily …
Airheads movie
This 1994 comedy movie stars Brendan Frasier, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler as A struggling rock band called The Lone Rangers, who have tried everything to get their demo heard, are tired of barely getting by and being ignored by record companies, and the local radio station, and finally …
When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …
Moulin Rouge movie
I must admit that I was very much surprised by Moulin Rouge when I saw it. It’s not really my kind of movie, being an artsy, somewhat burlesque style of film, but I was so impressed with the singing talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor that it …

The Constant Gardener
This film captures some breathtaking scenery, as it is set in Africa. The movie itself is breathtaking, but in a deeper and more moving way. The film portrays a diplomat and his wife living in tuberculosis infested Africa. After her death, he finds himself immersed in conspiracy, murder, and …
Movie Rundown
The Rock and Sean William Scott play in this movie as the two main characters. They are really good together in this movie, very funny together also. There were two parts in the movie that I thought were really funny. The rest of the movie was also funny but …
Hot Fuzz
From the guys that brought you Shaun of the Dead, Wright, Frost, and Pegg, Hot Fuzz is the next in the spoof movie genre. This action movie spoof follows cop Simon Pegg who is relocated to a remote town where a series of mysterious “accidents” start to happen. …
Movie Rush Hour
Rush Hour, a movie about two very different cops working together to save a kidnapped girl is a one of a kind movie. Detective Lee, played by Jackie Chan, is a Hong Kong cop flown into L.A. to help a friend save his young daughter. James Carter, played by …

Director Tim Burton has produced a funny, quirky abdication to writer Roald Dahl’s famous story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This movie has only just come out in cinemas in Australia, in time for the school holidays.
The story is about a young, generous boy named Charlie Bucket. He lived …
Life is Beautiful movie
This review does not have a summary. This movie was one of the best holocaust movies I have seen in a long time. When I saw this movie, it was all in Italian, which is for the most part the only downside to it. Although, the script in …
Movie This Is It
I am a huge fan of the late Michael Jackson, so I just had to see this film. I’m so glad I did, because it offered me a lasting glimpse of the superstar during his last days on earth.
I know all of Michael Jackson’s songs, especially the …
The Invisible Woman (2013)
After reading the details of the film I was impressed, especially because it was a Ralph Fiennes film. Being quite a movie buff and a huge Ralph Fiennes fan, I decided to watch it online. Ralph Fiennes’ performance in The Reader had already inspired me in a number of …
Movie: The Last House on the Left (1972)
A few weeks ago, my wife and I watched the remake of the movie The Last House on the Left. It was an OK movie but not great and, since I had never seen the original, began wondering if it was any better or worse.
After reading about the original …
Coneheads
Coneheads was an alright movie. I think it was kind of cheesey and wacky yet funny. The big heads on the cone head people were pretty funny looking. I also liked the acting and voices of the characters in the film. I think the storyline was not very good. It …
La Vita E Bella (directed by Roberto Benigni)
I watched this movie about three or four times and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. It is one of those movies that you can never forget. I would describe it as a very delicate film, approaching very serious problems in a playful manner, but for this very reason …
Emperor of the North (1973)
I wasn’t too sure what to expect when I checked this movie out of the library, but to my delight it was a truly engrossing movie. It’s about the power struggle between two men on a train during the Great Depression. One man works on the train and he …
