Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
To start, I feel that no amount of words could ever do this movie the justice it deserves…..but nevertheless, I’ll try my best.
In a basic summation, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the film adaptation of the classic, semi-autobiographical tale written by the late, great Hunter S. Thompson. …
Signs (movie)
I really enjoyed watching this movie and have seen it twice or maybe even three times. I really liked it and think it was a really good movie. Everyone that I know that watched it liked it. I wouldn’t say it’s one of the scariest movies I have seen …

Perfect Stranger
This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …
Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
I would think a movie about a 60s female singing group would make a great musical to watch. But, for the most …

Australia movie
The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …

Ploning Movie
It’s been quite some time since I last watched Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo. It was the first and last Filipino movie I watched that reminded me of flashes of European cinema brilliance.
And then along came Ploning.

Candy is an Australian production featuring some of this country’s finest, yet underrated actors. We are being told the story of a happy, fulfilled couple who goes through hell due to its addiction to heroin. Candy represents the character wonderfully played by Abbie Cornish and the drug with the …
Hannibal Rising
When I heard they were making a movie about how Hannibal Lecter became a cannibal, I was both excited but skeptical. The plot in Hannibal Rising sounded promising but I didn’t think it was a Hannibal movie without Anthony Hopkins playing the starring role.

Mulberry Street Movie
Mulberry Street is one of those movies that is trying to make a statement on current society, but fails. At least that’s how I viewed the movie. I also noticed that the director seemed to take some inspiration from Night Of The Living Dead. At one point I even …

We got this out on dvd the other night and my 5 year old was entranced by it. Our hero, Bumble, is an Emperor penguin who can’t sing - all emperor penguins have to sing a heart song as part of their mating ritual so his mother …
13 Going On 30 (2004)

Movie Notting Hill
