Komodo vs. Cobra (KvC) (2005) Movie

Looney Toons: Back in Action- the movie
I sometimes enjoy watching children’s movies, especially when they have some wittiness and humor aimed at adults. Looney Toons: Back in Actio was a really fun movie, and appropriate for both children and adults. The movie featured Looney Toons characters such as Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil, Marvin the …

Greenberg (2010 movie)
This is a movie that I really got roped into seeing. My friend was very interested in seeing it, and he basically insisted that I had to see it with him. I had never even heard of it, so I had absolutely no idea what it was about. So …
Chappie Movie (2015)
Chappie is an excellent follow-up to District 9 and Elysium and is one of the better transhuminism films that are out today. It delivers complex ideas about molding the human mind and also attempts to imagine the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
First of all, this movie will tug at your …

The Killer (movie) July, 2006
This is really one stupid movie that I have ever watched. The movie titled The Killer is a complete out and out copy of Collateral. It released on 21st July, 2006. I expected it to be some kind of a better movie as it is a Mahesh Bhatt production. …
The Extra Man movie 2010
At one point I wondered why there aren’t more eccentric characters in one film. The answer is that they not occur. It seems that you can not cram a young English teacher with bizarre sexual inclinations, an old bearded playwright gigolo and a mechanic with a high voice who …
Beyond Betrayal movie
A decade after playing lovers on Emerald Point N.A.S., Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Dey reunited to film this action drama, only this time around Anderson is no nice guy. In fact, this is probably the most violent portrayal I’ve seen of his, and I must be honest. …

The Men Who Stare at Goats movie
I just watched this movie recently, and from the looks of it, I do not think I will ever watch it again. Honestly, I thought it was a bankable film because it starred George Clooney and so far, I have been quite satisfied with his films, until I …

The Immigrant movie
Charlie Chaplin plays an honest man who immigrates to America. As soon as he reaches the new country he runs in to trouble immedietly.

Santa with Muscles-film

Return of the Rebels is a made-for-TV movie that I loved to watch back in the day. It was one of those fun films that was showed repeatedly during a pre-cable era. It stars Barbara Eden and Don Murray, and something about it just appealed to me …
FLCL
The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …
The Dark Night
I have been a Batman fan since I was about five years old. In that time, I’ve followed every Batman movie made, from the good to the really bad.

I just saw the movie Bad Teacher. In IMDB it only had 5.9 stars, so I wasn’t looking forward to really watching it because of the not-so-good reviews. It stars Cameron Diaz as the Bad Teacher, Elizabeth Halsey, with her co-star Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. Bad Teacher is …
Legend (movie)
I had heard of the Tom Cruise film “Legend,” but I never got around to watching it until last night. While, overall, it wasn’t a bad movie, I’m not sure if I was overly impressed by it either.
Cruise plays a hermit who is called on to face the Prince …

Movie 17 Again
I recently ordered 17 Again from Netflix. I had mixed feelings about it. It was mildly entertaining with some cute parts, and I am a big fan of Michelle Trachtenburg, who plays the main character Mike’s daughter. Otherwise, the movie was a little cheesy and unrealistic. …

A sequel to the greatest western of all time plus the casting of Lee Van Cleef as the leader of this heroic group of cowboys made this a must see film. As a …

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the holy grail of comedic masterpieces and quickly became a cult classic for a very good reason. This movie is filled with stereotypical British humor but it is presented in such a way as to not alienate international audiences. The jokes are …
Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …
The Brothers Bloom movie
The Brothers Bloom is a story of a con gone wrong. Or in other words, a con of love. Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody star in this movie, alongside the beautiful Rachel Weisz. I always find her very beautiful and admire her beauty very much.

Gargoyles Season 2,Volume 1 DVD
I have been waiting for Disney DVD to bring us Gargoyles for a long time! As much as I enjoyed Season 1, I was really looking forward to Season 2 because, plot-wise, that is when the series really hit its stride.
If you don’t know anything about Gargoyles, it …
Seven Pounds Movie
I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …
Iron Man (2008 Film)
The 2008 movie, “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a movie that I have seen on the TV but flipped passed the channel because I assumed it would be like every other super hero movie. Also, because it didn’t look like it would …

Just Friends comedy
The first time I watched the “Just Friends” Dvd, I was nearly in tears. I love this movie. The actors play their roles so well, that the viewer is fully capable of feeling sympathy, embarrassment, anger, joy, ect for all of the characters. I can’t begin to recall the …
The Big Bang Teory (Comedy)

Batman Dark Knight
I’m not really a big fan of the “Batman Series” but this film “Batman Dark Knight” is one great movie, I was blown away by the actors acting abilities,the story itself and of course the director because this would also not be possible without him,(Applause)Christopher Nolan. For me this …
Transformers
If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …
Dark City movie (1998)
(Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly)
This is probably one of the most visually stunning, thought-provoking pieces of entertainment I’ve seen in over 20 years. It was directed by Alex Proyas, who also directed —˜The Crow” a few years prior. His ability to express substance through his style …
