This is actually a Thai film dubbed in English when I saw this one, I love watching horror movies even though I get scared easily, and this isn’t exactly your good old ghost but modern horror because of it’s demonic side. This is a story about a local girl …
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980 film)
My boyfriend and I have been watching all of the Star Wars movies from the very beginning. After really becoming addicted to A New Hope, I knew that I had to watch the next film on the list, “The Empire Strikes Back”. This movie really made me see further …
Orphan Movie
“Orphan” is a thriller about a young orphan named Esther. As the movie progress the plot takes a turn which not only surprised me but probably surprised a lot of other people who went to see it.

Crank 2 Movie
OK well Crank 2 is not like a super good movie. But I can say it had lots of energy and action in it. Crank 2 really brings the violence the sex, the craziness. This movie overall seems to be very crazy and just a wild ride with not much …
Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
The Natural movie
“The Natural” starring Robert Redford is one of the greatest movies of all time! It is the story of a boy with the greatest baseball talent of all time. He can pitch, hit, and throw unlike anyone has seen before. More than that, it is the story of the …
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 …
Knowing Feature Film
The movie Knowing was a pleasant surprise for me. I did not see any advertisements for it when it hit the theaters and I knew nothing about it when I rented it except that it was a horror movie and it had Nick Cage in it. …
The Bourne Identity movie
Matt Damon stars as a killer…hmmm, where has this ever been done before. While this film could have been a great film, it fails to deliver the goods. I was left wanting no more after it was all said and done with. The characters were robotic and no life …
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 …

The movie “84 Charing Cross Road” is a charming, feel-good movie about a mail love affair between two people who have never met but through an extended exchange of letters learn to like, respect, and love each other, or at least the idea of each other. The literary roman begins …
Film Back to the Future
One of the funnest comedies from the 1980’s Back to the Future is a very entertaining sci-fi concoction that perfectly cast Michael J. Fox has Marty McFly, an out of time hero.
Living admist your regular chaotic household, with a alcholic mother and a nerdy father, Marty seeks escape through …
Cannibal, DVD Horror film
How am I supposed to review a movie where a man cuts off another man’s penis, fries it up in a cooking pan, and then serves it to the no-penis man and himself? How can I review a movie like this when the whole movie leading up to this …
Star Wars: A New Hope (1977 Film)
Even if we have never before seen Star Wars, we are still familiar with the basic plot of the film and how much of an impact they have had on generations. Until recently, I had only seen one Star Wars movies, and it was the newer ones that came …
Apt Pupil (movie)
Based on a novel written by Stephen King, the film is about the disturbing relationship between a man and a boy, characters who share a terrifying secret.
As the plot unfolds, young Todd Bowden, an intuitive student, pays rapt attention to class discussions about the holocaust. This appears to heighten …
Maid In Manhattan
I don’t know whether to label this story, Maid In Manhattan as being realistic or not because it is very much rare that a rich man would fall in love with someone of a lower status than him, though it’s not impossible. And a maid at that. But …
Harold and Kumar go to white castle
Many movies have made me laugh, but harold and kumar brought it to a new level… it made me cry… from laughter.
This movie has some of the funniest scenes I have ever seen. The story is that two friends Harold and Kumar, get the munchies and they want to …
Toy Story 3
For those of you that grew up with the magic of Pixar, you most definitely know of the many adventures of toy legends, Woody the cowboy and Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger and all their companions. I speak of the first ever Pixar computer generated animation film, Toy Story.
Now …
Heat
“Heat” is an incredible drama/action movie with two brilliant movie stars sparking energy all the way Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. This is the first time Pacino and De Niro worked together after “The Godfather II”. What is also interesting about this movie is that it …
A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Movie 2010)
Ever remembered staring at your crush in school and not being able to tell him how you feel? Do you remember those days when you would call his phone just to hear his voice and hung up a minute later without even saying a word? Ever remember those crazy …
Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …
While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
We finally got around to watching the second to last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on New Years Eve.
I still think the first couple movies were the better movies, but this one was better than some of the later films; both when it came …
The Dark Knight
By now everyone has seen The Dark Knight, and there are more than enough reviews so rather than focus on how good the movie is I want to focus on my thoughts on what the movie is. The movie isn’t really about Batman it’s about the Joker, something most people …

John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …
Abduction Of Innocence: A Moment Of Truth Movie

Girl Interrupted
I didn’t watch the movie Girl Interrupted because I wanted to. I watched it because my wife insisted on seeing it. While I won’t go as far as to say I hated the movie, it definitely isn’t one I was all that interested in watching.
The movie follows the lives …
Home Town Story movie
From 1951, Home Town Story is another movie from Metro Goldwyn Mayer that gets right to the point. It has to because it’s just over an hour an length, which wasn’t uncommon for films before the sixties.
When I first put this on, I was taken aback somewhat by …
A kidnapping in the family
This is one of the lifetime movies that I watched a couple of years ago. I have seen it twice if I remember correctly. Although it wasn’t one of my favorites from them it is definately worth watching. I really liked it overall, I thought that it was a …
Up Movie
This movie just came out a month or so ago, I believe (2009). I went to see on the Fourth of July with my family. Although I am a bit old for these movies (Up was meant for kids), I thought it was an amazing movie. I enjoyed the …
Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief Movie (2010)
This seemed like a real cool movie when we saw the trailer at the theatre but it didn’t seem like my cup of tea because it’s more suitable for teenagers, but since I have lots of free movie passes, I decided to watch and try this movie.
The movie is …
Hello, Dolly!
When Hello, Dolly! was brought to the big screen in 1969 after being a successful musical on Broadway, Hollywood cast Barbra Streisand in the role of Dolly Levi. It wasn’t a role she wanted. After all, she was too young to play the matronly Levi. On …
Final Destination 3
Final Destination 3 is one crazy movie. It seems so real and really makes you think about things you do in everyday life. This movie is the sequel to the 1 and 2nd final destination. All three movies are about someone having a vision before a major crash …
Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman movie

The Nativity Story movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story, which came out in 2006. This movie starred Keisha Castle-Hughes as Mary, and Oscar Isaac as Joseph. The movie told the story of Mary’s life, and the birth of Jesus. I really liked this movie, but there were some things …
Meet The Parents (Film)
Meet The Parents is a comedy starring Ben Stiller which focuses on the basic story of a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time in a weekend stay. I’ll add that this isn’t the typical weekend stay, as everything that can go wrong, basically does go wrong. …

This mini-series was such a pleasure to watch. The story is based on a novel by George Eliot. The title character, Daniel, supposedly an illegitimate son of a wealthy English aristocrat, was raised like a gentleman. He is a well educated young man who has plenty of money, but …
Suicide Squad (2016 Film)
I am a DC fan ever since childhood, and while most of my friends accuse me of being a Marvel hater (which isn’t true by the way), I am not blind enough to see the faults of my mighty favorite comicbook superheroes.
I was a little bit disappointed with the theatrical …
A Clockwork Orange (starring Malcolm McDowell)
Malcolm McDowell played it good. I watched the DVD A Clockwork Orange and it has a rather interesting plot in which it is involved with a bit of an experimentation issue and all. Malcolm plays a bad guy character and after being caught, he is being put through …
American Visa (movie)
As I have mentioned in several of my previous reviews, I like to watch a good foreign film once in a while and when my friends and I were discussing foreign films and she gave me a summary of a film “American Visa”, that she had watched, I became …
Movie The Breakfast Club
After a year from doing the movie “Sixteen Candles”, the director John Hughes returned back with another teen movie “The Breakfast Club”. In my opinion, “The Breakfast Club” is by far much better teen story than “Sixteen Candles”. Interesting is that the actress, Molly Rigwald and Anthony Michael Hall …
The Cat in the Hat
I have never read the book The Cat in the Hat. I have read the sequel to it. But, the original is one I just have never had available to me; either as a kid or as a parent.
So, when I watched the animated Cat in the Hat film …
