Movies Reviews
Daybreakers
The basic premise of this film is a future where vampires run the world and farm humans for their blood. I thought this was a pretty interesting idea but also figured it would just be “another vampire movie”. Although I was impressed with the initial idea for the movie, …
The Goonies 1985 Movie
I just saw this movie for the first time last night. My friends and I watched it together. It’s a very cute movie for kids, although there are some scary scenes which means it might not be so good for younger kids.
Each of the characters were quite funny, …
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 …
Before I say goodbye
I woke up with a cold yesterday and slept all day. Today I was kind of tired so I just tried to stay in bed for most of the day. I couldn’t really get to sleep but I didn’t feel like getting up or doing anything. So I decided …
Clash of the Titans Movie
Released in 1981 (interestingly enough, the year of my birth), and directed by Desmond Davis, this movie is based on the Greek myth of Perseus. The character of Perseus is played by Harry Hamlin. The character of Zeus, king of the gods of Mt. Olympus, is played …
Lucy (2014 film)
While the trailers made this movie look like a formulaic popcorn flick, I had heard generally good things about this movie. The truth is, it is something of a mixed bag.
As the trailers show, the movie follows a young woman (played by Scarlett Johansson) who becomes something superhuman …
Duplex film starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore
I caught the tail end of this movie once on Comedy Central. I came in to see the main character in what I could’ve sworn was a Bennigan’s, but really turns out to be a generic bar, working to finish a novel that was due within the day. …
Netflix Service
I honestly do not know how we functioned before Netflix came along. What now seems to be a fact of life in many American homes, used to once be a luxury that people got if they were well off and far too lazy to make their way to the …
Lost in Translation (2003)
I am guilty of being a bit prejudiced about films and although Lost in Translation has Bill Murray as one of the leads and he was so funny in Ghostbusters etc, I assumed maybe he had gone down the same ‘comedian, once funny, now does sentimental stuff’ route, along …
Pride & Prejudice 2006
I am reviewing the new version of Pride and Prejudice that was made in 2006, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth and Matthew MacFadyen as Darcy. Others starring included Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn. After watching this version after the A&E version starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow movie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …
Twilight movie
When I saw the trailer of Twilight, they said this is the next big hit after Harry Potter. I was curious knowing that Harry Potter’s success worldwide was phenomenal. A few days ago, I finally saw the movie and I can say that it has potential.
The storyline was …
Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …
Three Strikes (R, 2000)
I usually don’t take notice of films like these. But on a road trip recently, someone slipped this into the portable DVD player. I was actually surprised that I found this piece of cinema (if you can call it that) rather entertaining. I …
Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties
We got Garfield, Tale of Two Kitties last week and were very impressed. It was a great family movie that had a great mix of action and comedy. I only wish I could have gotten my energetic 2-year-old to watch more of it.
I found myself laughing every few seconds …
American Gangster
One of the most anticipated movies this year. With a huge celebrity line up from Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe to Common. This movies deserves all its appreciation and glory. The movie is about New York Harlem F.B.I
squad which is supposed to crack down on drugs and harm to …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
Welcome to Collinwood movie
A small time crook named Cosimo is desperate to get out of prison and arranges for his girlfriend to find a replacement for him. Problems occur when this replacement only is willing to do it if he receives a considerable amount of money.
This is actually a pretty entertaining and …
Movie My Life in Ruins
I was lucky enough to see a screening of the movie My Life in Ruins, but I think I had to considering it was a romantic comedy and I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies. It was pretty much what I expected it to be, though I still enjoyed …
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 …
Blockbuster.com
Last Month, (September 2007) Discover credit card offered rewards to cardholders which included a trial one month membership to the Blockbuster.com service and I was pleased with my experience once I had tried the service out. Blockbuster makes renting movies very easy, I found it simple to log on …

Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
Life is beautiful
The ever happy Guido Orefice(Roberto Benigni) moves into Tuscan from a neighboring town and falls in love with Dora(Nicoletta Braschi).He wins her approval by surprising her with unexpected visits. They get married and soon have a son whom they name Giosué(Giorgio Cantarini).They lead a smooth life until …
A history of violence
Painfully powerfull. In a world where special effects have replaced good old fashion acting and writing this movie stands alone and swings at the audiences mind. Knocking us back to a world where good old fashion sweat and curage rule!
The timing of this thriller holds the audience suspended …
Movie The Last Mimizie
Want to see a wonderful childrens movie, that you can sit through and enjoy yourseld without feeling guilty that you are watching a PG-13 movie. Try to get to see the movie entitltedd the Last Mimzie.
In this movie the begining scenes are on a hilltop and there …
Legal Eagles Movie
The Legal Eagles movie is the kind of movie that is still interesting to watch even many years after it was made. It is still thrilling and intriguing even when there is a major development in technology and forensic science, and our cultural tastes and notions about art change. …
Wild Hogs
This movie, which features Tim Allen, John Travolta, and Martin Lawrence, was very popular in the theatres, which was part of why I decided to go see it.
The trailers looked okay, not particularly great but I’ve never really believed in picking movies based on trailers anyway.
The story goes: four …
Movie “Salt” (2010)
I was excited to see this film because the previews looked fun. A female James Bond who may or may not be a double agent and it stars Angelina Jolie. How great does that sound? Well the movie had a great premise but the end …
Pennsylvania Gun
I am reviewing The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …
Austin Powers (Movie)
Let’s be honest, have you never laughed at silly things? Do we not laugh at such simple comments said in a funny way? Or by the idiot face that some of our friends display from time to time so that we laugh when we are sad? This film is …
Cool Runnings
This 1993 movie, Cool Runnings, was another huge surprise to me. I just happen to watch it one day on cable when a fluke of going up and down the channels landed on it. I became hooked on it, and now it’s a movie I enjoy watching …

Descent (NC-17, 2007) movie
Man oh man, was I disappointed with this movie. There aren’t too many films starring Rosario Dawson that I absolutely hate. But this one—an indie—about her “brutal” rape was just strange. The premise is that she’s an introverted college student who is lured into …
National Lampoon’s Bag Boy
OK, as far as movies are concerned, National Lampoon’s BagBoy had to have one of dumbest plots ever. You have a high school graduate whose only talent is bagging groceries so he seeks to enter the international baggers competition in an effort to finally make himself a winner. It …
The Last Legion
I admit I only watched this film because I couldn’t imagine the actor, Colin Firth in the role of a Roman Commander. I just couldn’t picture him on big screen after watching him in the role of the prim and proper Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of “Pride and Prejudice” or …
“Passengers” movie
Colombian director Rodrigo Garcia is known for its versatility. He has directed such series as “Family Soprano” or “Six Feet Under.” He made the photos for “Four Rooms” and Quentin Tarantino’s biographical drama “GIA” with Angelina Jolie in the lead role. In his director’s filmography has several projects on the …
Amadeus - The Director’s Cut
One of the most brilliantly executed films that I have ever seen has to be the movie Amadeus, starring F. Murry Abraham and Tom Hulce. I was only a child when it first came out, but even then, I was fascinated by the antics of a child-like Mozart who dazzled …
Kungfu Dunk Movie
I watched the movie Kung Fu Dunk on DVD last week. My dad is an avid collector of DVDs and has practically all the movies in the past 3 years. Among all the new movies that my dad had just purchased, my boyfriend chose to watch this one. …
Juno
If you really enjoy watching dark comedies, then don’t miss out on watching “Juno”. This is a highly enjoyable film about a highschool student with the name of Juno, a role interpreted by Ellen Paige, who discover that she is pregnant after having sex with her best friend Paulie …
Dead Silence (2007)
If you’re in the mood for some mindless scares, the recently released “Dead Silence” might be a good choice for you. I, however, find it too gory and frightening, and having no deeper message than “Boo!!” is, for me, a big turn-off.
The story is about a dead ventriloquist (performer …
Fever Pitch movie
Fever Pitch, starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon, has been out on video for a few months now, but if you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
This is a great date night movie. Guys - it has baseball! What more can you ask for? …
A Walk To Remember
I saw this movie back when I was in college. I never really like Mandy Moore as an actress but my boyfriend at that time wanted to watch it. This movie was also based from the book entitled A Walk To Remember also. I am not a Mandy Moore …
John C. Reilly
I have just rented “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” but have not watched it yet. But if the movie is anywhere near as funny as this guy is when he’s in a comedic role, then I am sure that I will be guffawing a lot throughout. …
Back to the Future
I was a teen when I’d first seen Back to the Future, and I was stunned, just like many other viewers, I’m sure. Time travel was not a new movie theme even back then, but I don’t think anyone had done it this way before: sending the character not …
