Collateral,2004 movie
Collateral, 2004. Vincent (Tom Cruise), a hitman, comes to LA to take care of five “targets.” He hires a taxi, offering the driver a large sum to take him to all five locations. Max (Jamie Foxx), the cabman, unsuspecting at first, takes the job. Then he learns that the …
Due South: Manhunt
For me, one of the big things I liked about Due South: Manhunt is that guest star Leslie Nielsen was able to show some of his dramatic abilities. For years, Nielsen did almost nothing but serious roles. Then he hit it big with the parodies like Airplane, …
Wedding Crashers movie
I’ve been getting a little burnt out on Owen Wilson comedies so I didn’t know what to think when I finally watched Wedding Crashers for the first time. It was hillarious.
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn make a great team, pretending to be related to the wedding parties so they …
Monster in Law
“Monster in Law” marks Jane Fonda’s return on the big screen after 15 years absent from the movie industry, and may I add what a return. Fonda interprets the role of a mother obsessed in breaking up her son’s relationship with his present girlfriend, Charlie.
During an interview, Fonda …
Make It Happen
I watched a movie with a friend, he was so excited about Make it Happen, a movie similar and is actually from the same creators of “Step Up”. Well the movie is really simple, I feel it does need a little more depth in it, I have totally wasted …
The Broken (R, 2009) movie
Lena Headey stars as Gina a medical professional who has seen her doppelganger and decides to follow her. She ends up in a car accident and after awakening in the hospital, she has tons of flashbacks about some pretty disturbing images. This movie was soooooooo …
Guest House Paradiso Movie
To crazy gentlemen owns a hotel, a place which could well rate as the worst in the whole world. Situated next to a nuclear reactor, only having five guests in total and a drunk cook.
Rather hysterical film with a high tempo. Unfortunately it uses a “style” of jokes and …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
Warm Bodies (movie)
Just a few days ago, one of my friends and I went to see the movie “Warm Bodies”, which seemed like one of the few interesting movies going on despite what some people had said about it in reviews on the internet. The few reviews and comments about it …

My Best Friend’s Wedding, directed by P.J. Hogan is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Assocation of America for one use of strong language and brief sex-related humor. The original release date was June 20, 1997 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and …
The movie Deadgirl
Deadgirl is a little known movie that was released in 2009. It tells a very dark and horrific story, but manages to do so without too much gore. Still, the movie would only be good for a mature audience. The plot revolves around two high school …
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Movie)
I had heard and read a lot about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before I watched in on DVD yesterday. I have followed the director Terry Gilliam’s career from his Monty Python days, and have very much admired his somewhat strange and eccentric art and movies. I had also …
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 …
Taxi
This DVD movie, Taxi is totally a feel good one with many laughs along the way for me.
I think I watched it on movie and also on DVD again. Queen Latifah, Jimmy Fallon and Gisele Bundchen starred in this movie and I was having a fun time …

The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Disturbia (movie)
Disturbia is a movie about a teenage boy who is a rebel filled with anger. Kale, the main character, is still grieving over the death of his father and pretty much anything to do with the subject gets Kale fired up. Because of an altercation at school, Kale is …
Definitely, Maybe
Definitely, Maybe is a movie that I think is fairly good. Not that fantastic, but doing pretty alright. Ryan Reynolds star in this movie, together with the very talented Abigail Breslin. Abigail plays Maya, a daughter that is very inquisitive and it’s fun to watch her questioning …
Braveheart film
When we think about the Middle Ages what strikes us is a lot of savagery, pain and torture but above them all the notion of heroism, which taken that manages to deal with all the challenges previously enlisted stands out more than anything we can …
Justice League: Doom
As a fan of superheroes, I was looking forward to finally checking out DC’s animated film, “Justice League: Doom”. The direct to video feature is a loose adaptation of the “Tower of Babel” arc, that reveals that Batman has designed elaborate plans to take down each of his …
“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …
The Interpreter
I define “The Interpreter” as one of the best thriller’s of our time coming out from Hollywood. Without any doubt the director, Sydney Pollack has managed to include another successful movie to his chain of great movies, such as “Havana”, “The Firm”, “Out of Africa”, “Tootsie” and “Absence of …
This Is the End 2013 Movie
This movie was a blast to sit through and I am saying this since I watched this movie at 3 am in the morning and I just had to write a review. I rate this movie 5 stars as it was not only funny,but also scary and at the …
Dragnet
When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …
Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013 Film)
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is a film, directed and written by Tyler Perry. I had heard and read my fair share about the movie, and I was honestly conflicted at first to see it. I knew that there was a lot of hype following the movie, given …
Curious George movie
When I saw the cover for this movie it felt like it was a little boring since it has only a monkey holding a telescope. Nevertheless when my niece and I got nothing to do we did give it a try to watch it. At first it was a …
Superman 4 (1987)
This is where I believe the Superman saga got way too watered down and began feeling less like a superman movie and more like a superman flop. They have juiced it out to the point where they are now scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for some thing …
Movie: Shrek 4
Synopsis: Shrek returns in this final movie of the series and tries to get his life back in order after being tricked into never being born and put in a position where he needs to make Fiona fall in love with him again in one day or will cease …

21 movie
21, when i heard the name of this movie, I was a little confused as about what this movie would be about? But when I watched it I thought it was worth taking this risk. The movie starts like one boy who is looking to get in to …
Coneheads
Coneheads with Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtain, Jason Alexander, and Chris Farley.
This movie was developed after the Coneheads sketch on Saturday Night Live. In fact, it used many of these actors in cameo appearances so that the audience would tie the movie in with the hit …
DVD Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.
I’ve been reviewing several of Paul Naschy’s films on here lately. Naschy was Spain’s reigning king of horror in the late …
Gladiator Movie (2000)
Gladiator is a movie that came out in 2000 that stars Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman soldier who is loyal to the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Marcus is murdered by his son Commodus who tries to kill Maximus but he survives and is captured by slavers …
Munich movie
I definitly had to watch this movie because, apart from being a Stefen Spielberg movie, it was filmed mostly in my native country, Malta. I was particulary impressed by the focus point of the story. This is not a movie about terrorism, but it is a movie about the …
Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry is one of the most popular cartoons made by Warner Brothers. I doubt if anyone has not heard or never even watched this series. This is a total fun ride for half an hour. IT has some small 5-10 minutes fast paced cartoon stories, that are …
Profession: Reporter movie
Profession: Reporter is the impressive thriller by Michelangelo Antonioni. Jack Nicholson stars as the journalist who gets drawn into a mysterious league of corruption on a high political level.
Antonioni here uses the same style of mysticism as in is masterpiece Blow Up, but not on the same level. Jack …

Blockbuster Video
We have often rented movies at Blockbuster, but lately we have been checking out a smaller video store down the road.
When the smaller store down the road does not have the movie we are looking for, we head to Blockbuster. The reason we opt to go to the smaller …
St. Trinian’s
The movie “St. Trinian’s” failed to impress me, even though it had an excellent cast of actors such as Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton and Stephen Fry. I found the script lacked certain magic and, in certain moments, there didn’t seem to be a link between one scene …
Summer Catch - (starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr.)
I have watched Summer Catch on DVD before starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr. They look so romantic together and I feel that they have a super chemistry together. Too bad they are not together in real life. The ending is a good one and I …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …
Resident Evil (2002)
Resident Evil, written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong horror violence, language and sexuality/nudity. The original release date was march 15, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Horror/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars …
Definitly, Maybe
Even though famous actors such as Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz are part of the movie project “Definitely, Maybe”, the actress that holds the main attention in this romantic flick is Abigail Breslin. This actress is just 12 years old and she already managed to be nominated …
Fifty Shades of Grey (erotic romance movie)
I remember when the book Fifty Shades of Grey became so popular that even people who I knew never bought a book in their lives began to devour it mostly for the sex scenes. Then of course when the movie came out, everyone claimed that I just had to see …
Horror Express movie
I actually heard about this movie by accident, when I was surfing the net. I didn’t know that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee had starred in a film together until I heard about “HOrror Express”, and I found the concept of the two actors working with each other to …
The Day After Tomorrow
After watching The Day After Tomorrow, I have come to believe in goodness again. This movie has a great storyline, telling us how man is corrupt and only long for their self-interest and that is why the earth must die. I am not going to ruin the movie for …
The Woman in White,1982 movie
“The Woman in White,” 1982, mini-series is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the Wilkie Collins mystery novel. Mini-series, in my opinion, is the best way to film Victorian classics: you don’t have to cram a huge book in a one and a half hour movie and therefore …
Cocoon
I don’t know why I like this 1985 movie so much. I can still remember watching it for the first time when it had come out; it is a comedy that involves some aliens, and compared with today’s technology, I guess you might say it is nothing special. Most …
