The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …

Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …

Cloverfield, Cloverfield, Cloverfield. Never before have I heard so many people talk about a movie, especially one that was still months away from being released.

Children of Dune was a 2003 SyFy channel made-for-tv release based on the books by Frank Herbert. Now I typically shy away from movies based on books and, more specifically, movies that are practically remakes from 1980’s classics, such as the original Dune, but I was shocked by the …

I typically do not like comic book films. But I will admit that this little movie starring Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider won me over with little effort. What I liked in particular was the way his transformation into the Ghost Rider was filmed. …

First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …

This is a very light romantic comedy, with a plot so simple, silly, and predictable that I think it would have completely fallen through if it wasn’t for Michael Caine and Maggie Smith, the two wonderful actors who save it.
Stevenson Lowe (James Spader) is a successful publisher and a …

In 1995, a teen flick came out and I remembered watching it a lot of times with my girlfriends. It was when the movie Clueless came out.

This …

The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. Apart from the book, this movie is decent. If you have not read the novel by Alexander Dumas and are not familiar with the story, you will probably enjoy it. However, the fans of the book will just shake their heads. The story …

Directed by John Hughes, and starring John Candy, this was one of the best movies of the 80s. Uncle Buck was a funny, charming and sometimes witty comedy. It was in the middle of a long string of John Hughes movies that were good and also …

I decided to reserve judgment against the movie Jumper until I had seen it for myself. Some of my friends saw the movie and loved it, while those who had the same taste as me in movies didn’t like it at all. I had a few chances to see …

First and foremost, I must admit that watching this movie made me a little sad. This is because in August, two of the film’s stars died. Bernie Mac, died of complications related to his sarcoidosis. Isaac Hayes died of a heart attack while working out on …

I really liked this movie, and not only me but a lot of my friends did! This movie is so twisted and so shocking at one part and it features Nicole Kidman as a single mother of 2 who is very meticulous and strict because she has 2 photosensitive …

The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …

Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …

One thing I’m truly sick of is those cliche horror movies where a bunch of teenagers or college age campers get stuck in the woods and are taken out one by one by a bunch of “redneck” psychopaths. However, I also have those rare moments where I might crave those …

I like American Pie movies, but so far this is the most low-budget and low-cost American Pie movie I have ever seen. All of the characters are not famous and there isn’t one original character that was shown here unlike the first American Pie movie, but I still watched …

This movie, which features Tim Allen, John Travolta, and Martin Lawrence, was very popular in the theatres, which was part of why I decided to go see it.
The trailers looked okay, not particularly great but I’ve never really believed in picking movies based on trailers anyway.
The story goes: four …

Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.

So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
