Whiplash, movie (2014)
Whiplash is a movie whose title gives you goosebumps! A sparkling story of inspiration and energy about what we can do for our life’s purpose. A powerful and impressive film about musicians with great music.
Inspiration is essential in everyone’s life. Think back to those moments when you didn’t notice hunger …
Movie The Beast and the Magic Sword (1984)
After the box office flop of The Craving, Paul Naschy never thought he’d ever play the werewolf role he made famous ever again. Well, never say never because he was tapped by a Japanese company to make this strange “Werewolf runs amok in fuedal Japan” mini epic.
If the description …
Vacancy
This movie starring Kate Beckinsdale and Luke Wilson, was interesting to watch. It is a bit suspenseful, with decent acting and a decent story, but the ’snuff’ factor is a bit sensationalistic and the story itself is a bit short. It is still good enough to watch and be …
The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …

Under the Tuscan sun is a very nice movie. The movie with Diane Lane as the lead actor is a very heart touching movie with some poignant moments to it’s credit. Frances has a painful split from her husband and what makes it more painful is the fact that …
9 to 5 (1980)
Three woman gang together to over throw their abusive boss that is the whole nature of this movie, the plot is tight around this fact and it makes for a wonderful movie for all to enjoy. Dolly Parton plays the role of the under appreciated secretary, one that has …

Affair in Monte Carlo movie
I was very surprised by my reaction to Affair in Monte Carlo, which I found to be a very compelling movie. In spite of the soap opera type of theme, I was hooked for the greater portion of the movie. There were, however, a few slow moments, …
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, movie
Just by looking at the title, you can tell that this isn’t going to be a cinematic game changer. Dumb as it is, I can actually see the train of thought that led to this. What would happen to two kids who were terrorized by a witch …
Charlotte’s Web
The movie “Charlotte’s Web” is one of the cutest movies I can ever remember watching. After seeing it I think that it is something that not just children, but the entire family will enjoy. I loved nearly everything about it. I have never gotten a chance to read the …
The Village movie
The Village is a movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I have been a very big fan of Night Shyamalan and I watch every movie directed by him. But The Village is a bit disappointing movie because of no proper story. The pace of the plot is very slow …
Dunston Checks In Movie
Dunston Checks In is not the kind of movie that I would typically watch. But just last weekend at a family gathering a family member popped in the DVD and there it was. To my surprise I loved the movie right from the first couple of minutes of watching. …
Grown Ups (movie)
When I saw the trailer for “Grown Ups” somewhere, I was neither here nor there when it came to excitement. A part of me thought that there was a strong possibility it might turn out to be another star studded failure, and another part of me wasn’t interested in …

From Hell (2001)
A dark a gruesome movie that is staged in the late 1800s in London history. This movie tries to scare the living daylights out of the viewers by introducing situations of kidnap and murder the likes that only the dark lonely streets of the London backdrop can give. In …
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?”
Tyler Perry is an awesome film maker. I really enjoyed his most recent film entitled “Why Did I Get Married?” The movie focused on relationships and the problems that each couple was dealing with in their marriage.
In the movie, there were four couples and they were all friends. …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Seven Psychopaths (movie)
The first time I even heard of the movie “Seven Psychopaths” was when I saw the trailer of it somewhere right before it was released. The biggest impression that the trailer made on me was that it didn’t seem to give away a lot of information like some, and …
Without a Clue
I am reviewing the movie, Without a Clue, a Sherlock HOlmes movie starring Ben Kingsley as Dr. Watson, and Michael Caine as Sherlock Holmes. This movie was produced in 1988. This movie is quite different from any Sherlock Holmes film you’ve scene. What’s the main difference, you ask? …
Who Shot Patakango? movie
From 1989, Who Shot Patakango? is a sort of odd coming of age movie about teenagers attending high school in Brooklyn, New York. The star of note was Sandra Bullock as Devlin Moran. Following are some thoughts on this production.
–I actually saw this movie years ago, but …
Cheaper by the dozen 1 Movie
Cheaper By The Dozen 1 (the first movie) is a great story. It’s about a family called the Bakers who have twelve children. Tom Baker played by Steve Martin is classic in his part. He stays true to the comical type of actor that he is. Tom’s wife played …
Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”
I don’t go to the cinema all that often - not only is it quite expensive, but also I prefer to be able to pause, rewind, have a snack without disturbing fellow viewers and, most of all, I like to talk during a movie. Therefore, I tend to watch …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Once again, this game made into a movie takes the viewers on a wild ride through the waste land of the future that has managed to spawn zombie like creatures. The main character as you will see as you watch this movie as it takes us through a slight …
Movie Skinwalkers
Skinwalkers is quite possibly the oddest movie I’ve ever seen, and given the amount of strange and unsettling horror movies I’ve seen over the course of my life, that’s saying a lot. I first saw the movie advertised on another straight to video horror movie release, and the ad …
Gods and Monsters movie
Very engaging film about the famous horror movie director, James Whale, who made Frankenstein for instance back in the 1930s. In this film he is old, and wonderfully played by Ian McKellen. James Whale, who was openly homosexual, falls in love with his many years younger gardener, who at …
Fright Night (2011 Movie)
As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …
White Chicks
White chicks is the movie tell about the undercover FBI agent to caught the bad guy like usually. But, because it’s a drama comedy movie, the whole scene is full of funny scene that make me laugh, because the two negro FBI agents Marcus (Marlon Wayans) and Kevin (Shawn …
High Crimes
I bought this movie after seeing it at goodwill for 25 cents. It was a VHS tape but since I had never seen it before, and I still have a VCR I figured for 25 cents I could watch it.
Yesterday I was kind of bored after doing all …
Under the Mistletoe movie
“Under the Mistletoe” is a nice, holiday movie and makes for a warm family event on any holiday, or for that matter non-holiday evening.
The film stars Michael Shanks as Kevin Harrison, a teacher and hockey coach. Michael is best known for his role as ‘Daniel Jackson’ in “Stargate …
Gangs of New York
WHen the movie Gangs of New Yrok was supposed to be released in theatres, I was eager to watch it not only because I have always loved many historical films but it would have been the the first time in a long time that I had seen the actor …
Antwone Fisher
The movie Antwone Fisher was released when I was still in high school. I did not see it advertising to be released in theatres though since I was very busy at the time. However, I was finally able to see it when I saw the rest of my family …
Suffering Man’s Charity/ Ghost Writer (2007)
I thought this was going to be a really good movie, I heard really good things about it, plus, the cast list was very impressive. At the beginning of the movie, when things seemed a little bit too eccentric for and to weird, I just said to myself …
Patton,1970 movie
George C. Scott stars as General George Patton, the American World War II hero and a rather controversial figure. General Patton takes command of the US Third Army after the Americans have suffered defeat in their first battle with the Germans at the Kasserine Pass, Tunisia. The first thing …
Knight and Day Movie (2010)
As I saw the trailer for this movie a few weeks ago, I knew I had to watch it, seeing Tom Cruise in action again, plus with funny Cameron Diaz playing as his lady love in the movie. When the movie finally hit the screen, a lot of people …
Movie: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].
At the outset I will admit that I have never been a Jim Carrey fan, and my favorite version of Christmas Carol will forever be the …
Happy feet movie
I Have seen the movie happy feet 2 months back. The movie happy feet was excellent.Its all about a small penguine. Its about a small dumb penguine how it expressed his feelings through dance. The animation in the movie was excellent. At the first no one likes the poor …
Movie Graveyard painfully predictable
Now that I have digital cable with plenty of movie channels to choose from, my nightly ritual is finding a good movie to watch before bed.
Graveyard is not one of those films.
The 2006 movie takes place at an abandoned summer camp (of course) and focuses on a group of …
Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
Lucky Number Slevin is a movie that most of yall have probably not heard of but it one of my favorite little unknowns. It is a great crime thriller with a power packed cast which includes Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Josh Hartnett, Lucy Lui and Bruce Willis. With all …
Wimbledon (2004)
This movie is about tennis in all its glory. Nothing more, nothing less. They try to toss in a love story in it but that was dashed asunder on the rocks below as this movie failed to even grasp and hold you until the very end of the movie. …
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …
Next Stop, Greenwich Village movie
I absolutely adore movies that take place in the 50’s and 60’s. This movie was made in 1976, but takes place in 1953, so close enough. For some reason, those two decades fascinate me. And the music is so fantastic, I can’t get enough of it! Anyways, onto what …
Rush Hour 2 (2001)
Rush Hour is back with a bang as Lee and Carter head out to China on vacation. Although they are supposed to be relaxing, Lee, played by Jackie Chan, is taking on assignments from his boss. This movie was not as good as the first, but still holds a …
Wall-E
When I saw all the ads to Wall-E, I thought that it was going to be a boring movie with a lot of silence, but I was wrong. It was one of the best animations that Disney has made yet, both graphically as well as in the story line …
Bridge of Spies-2015, Biography, Drama Movie
Bridge of Spies is a notable biography directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Matt Charman, Ethan Coen and Joel Coen. I had the choice between Martian and Bridge Of Spies, and I went to watch Bridge of Spies not on the grounds that Martian is an awful movie, but …
Inception movie
Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …
Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
Dr. Alien movie
Wesley goes to High School, just any ordinary school where nothing exciting ever happens. One day there is a new biology teacher who involves Wesley in a strange experiment that makes all girls attracted to him.
This is a rather stupid and a bit sick High School comedy that doesn’t …
Movie Friday (1995)
I love to watch movies, and I have quite an extensive movie collection going on. One of the movies in that collection that I love to watch over and over again is “Friday,” starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. Ice Cube plays Craig, a now grown man, still living …
Mortal Kombat (1995)
This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …
