Robots Movie
Clever, original, funny and it has a decent plot. It’s very easy to like this movie whether you are young or young at heart. A classic for future generations. The first time i saw this movie was as an inflight movie on British Airways…maybe I was tired, because I …
Elfen Lied
Considered by many to be the most cruel anime ever made, Elfen Lied contains some of the most disturbing violence ever animated. That said it is also one of the truly beautiful and powerful pieces of art and story that I have ever seen.
Based on the manga by Lynn …

Ghost of the Abyss
What type of movie/documentary is this! It was more like watching a selfish rich man and his friends having fun playing around a classic old ship. I loved the Titanic and studied it from 5th grade on. For this film to come in and mock all the scientist like …
Loving Leah
Over the weekend we watched the Hallmark special, “Loving Leah”. It was an entertaining movie, and quite an education on Orthodox Jews and their culture and faith. The movie was a about an Orthodox Rabi who dies, and leaves behind a young widow. According to tradition, his brother is …
Ella Enchanted (movie)
Ella Enchanted is a ferry tale type of movie with some similarities to Cinderella. It reminds us that there is good and bad everywhere. That we have to find our inner power to solve some of the most difficult problems that we will face in our lives. That each …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
BlockBuster Total Access
After growing tired of paying for satellite tv and renting movies that I had to spend more time returning than I did watching, I decided to try the service. I get 3 movies at a time, unlimited rentals, free postage paid return envelopes and an easy to use …
Netflix
This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …
The Living Daylights movie
A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …

Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Roman-tan or just simply Rurouni Kenshin 2012, is the movie live action version of the well loved manga and anime’, Rurouni Kenshin (or in our country, Samurai X). Its story revolves around Kenshin Himura, a once notorious assassin of the government but is now living as …
Wanted DVD
I was not familiar with Wanted. So when I and a friend of mine decided to watch it, I really had nothing to expect (except for a very hot Angelina Jolie, which is very obvious on the DVD cover).
The moment the movie started, I was instantly hooked. James McAvoy, …
The Final Problem
I am reviewing The Final Problem, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada television. This episode finds Holmes running for his life the entire time, trying desperately to escape his nemises, Professor Moriarty, who has had enough of …
The Princess Bride
The Princess Bride is one of those classic movies that you can not help but love. A very unique twist on the classic fairy tale story of forbidden love, The Princess Bride combines all the features of a great family movie; mild action, family friendly romance, fantastic humor, and …
Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …
Tron (movie)
This movie came out at a time when video games were still being played primarily in video arcades in the mall. Atari and similar consoles were not yet widespread. The makers of Tron were experimenting right alongside young companies like Nintendo and Microsoft. Within a few short years, Atari …
Men in Black
Now that it’s a holiday, we have quite a lot of times to enjoy movies at home and relax with family and friends. This holiday, we have had a lot of good movies to watch, one of them was the Men in Black. I know it is a bit …
Black Swan Movie
The funny thing about Black Swan is that I should really have no reason to want to watch it. True, it’s a film by Darren Aranofsky, who’s acclaimed film “Requiem for a Dream” is one of my favorite movies, and who also gave us “The Wrestler”, but none of …
The Brave One, Neil Jordan Movie

A Cinderella Story
The story of Cinderella has been cloned so many times, successfully and not. This 2004 attempt offers a contemporary, high school version set in California. For Cinderella, we have Sam, who is a high school girl sneered at by the popular crowd and overworked by her evil step …
Definitely, Maybe movie
I normally have no interest in watching romance movies, especially romance comedy films. However, the only thing which attracted the romance comedy “Definitely, Maybe” was in the first place was the fact that the comedy actor Ryan Reynolds was going to be in it. Thus of course, I expected …
The abominable Dr Phibes movie
Dr Phibes dies under mysterious cirumstances in a car crash, right after his wife, who could have been saved by the surgeons. Somehow Phibes is returning from the dead to claim revenge for his dead love. His gaze is fixed on the ignorant surgeons who in his opinion didn’t …
A Bug’s Life animation film
I really like this animation film so much. Although I am already an adult I still find it a very enjoyable one. I love it so much since it has a lot of lessons learned. As a viewer it left me with lots of points to ponder on. I …
Vanishing Point
I watched a movie the other night that I really couldn’t get into at all. It was called Vanishing Point and featured some actors I had never heard of. I don’t usually discriminate when it comes to independent or B list actors, if you can act, i’ll watch your …
Mortal Kombat (1995)
Mortal Kombat (1995) is an action film from director Paul W.S. Anderson and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for non-stop martial arts action and some violence.
Mortal Kombat, an adaptation of the very popular video game series, revolves around a tournament that pits the forces of evil against good. …
In th e Valley of Elah
I delayed watching the movie “In the Valley of Elah” for some time because I figured that since it had a lot of
A-list actors in it, it might not be a very good movie. Nevertheless, I decided to watch the movie one day when absolutely nothing else worth watching …
The Incredible hulk
The incredible hulk which is the second part of the movie The Hulk, is overall a nice action movie but still not as good as the first part. In the second part the hero of the movie who is actually the hulk, desperately run around to change his genetic …
Train Ride (R, 2000)
There are fleeting moments of competency in this late 90’s film—the last to feature actress Esther Rolle before her death in the same year (1998.) The story itself is quite feasible. A group of college guys have three freshman girls over hoping to get …
Columbo: Butterfly in Shades of Grey movie
William Shatner does his second stint on Columbo playing a radio show star named Fielding Chase. The show is entitled Butterfly in Shades of Grey and also features Molly Hagan as Fielding’s foster daughter, Victoria. Chase is quite the pompous one, and Shatner wears a silly, somewhat …
Movie: Unstoppable
Synopsis: Two train company employees must chase down a runaway locomotive and stop it or slow it down before it derails; spilling the toxic chemicals that it is carrying with it.
What I liked about this movie: I think the best part of this movie for me was all the …
Signs (2002 Movie)
There is one word that describes this movie…”BORING”. It’s a long, drawn out, dull, mind-numbing, boring tale of aliens coming to earth. And as always, the aliens have some to destroy mankind…been there, done that, seen it too many times. I guess we should all be wearing tip foil …
The Princess Diaries
I didn’t expect this movie to be any good, but I admit I was wrong. Even though the story follows a very familiar template - a plain unpopular girl gets transformed into a gorgeous celebrity - the movie has a lot more than that. Mia, the unpopular teenage girl, …
“Couples Retreat” (2009 movie)
There is nothing left of the romantic comedy genre. It’s been on the decline for at least the past decade, with the odd exception that actually mixes the pathos and exhilaration of love lost and found with comedic coincidence and the kind of zany antics that for the most …
Happy Feet Movie
I had heard this so much about this small penguin and having in my brain the popular saying “where there are a lot of cherries hold a small basket”, I was little circumspect with the particular animation movie. Also, I believed that after “Searching for Nemo” hardly another animation …
Click movie
“CLICK” a movie that launch here in the philippines at 2006… a movie is so good and appropriate for the hole family… when ur try to go out with your family of friends this is the movie that best describe for u and your family…this movie created, if im …
Movie Necessary Roughness
I haven’t seen the movie Necessary Roughness in years but finally had a chance to watch it again today. It isn’t as good as I remember it being, but it is still decent.
The movie, which is about a college team that loses all of its players due to NCAA …
Tainted Fruit movie
I am reviewing the movie, Tainted Fruit, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004, was produced by Brian May, directed by Peter Smith, and was written by David Hoskins. This movie was inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham.
In this movie, murder …
The Brother From Another Planet
If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.
Joe Morton plays “The Brother,” an escaped slave from a planet know as “Another Planet.” I think that was the best joke …
Jurassic Park Trilogy
This has been a Steven Spielberg film and having typecast him by the viewers with movies that have extraordinary themes, I supposed this would be another unforgettable movie and so it was, although he just directed parts 1 and 2 because the one who directed the third part was …
Chuck Vs the Third Dimension
I’m not sure what the problem was, but the three d glasses which were made available for this episode but they didn’t work all that well. I suspect that I sit closer to my TV than most people, so I’m going to assume that was it for now.
The plot …
The Proposal movie
Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have never even made it to my list of favorite actors. Nor have their movies ever made such an impression on me. I had to force myself to watch The Proposal because I literally had nothing better to do and I totally missed watching …
The Thistle Killer
I am reviewing The Case of the Thistle Killer, 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, …
2 Guns movie
The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …
Crazy in Alabama
I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.
That’s the case with the movie Crazy in Alabama; which, like many other movies is billed as a funny movie. But, in …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse movie
The sequel to the zombie movie Resident Evil, which in its turn was based on a video game. Milla Jovovich returns as the sexy female hero who fights the blod-thirsty creatues with elegance and cleverness. The first film was in my opinion at bad as a film can possibly …
The Amazing Spider Man 2 movie
When the first series of Spiderman movies came out in the early 2000’s, my husband and I were quick to go see them. However, after the first two it became more of a run on series rather than a well thought out movie series. It was my exhaustion …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
Movie: Rear Window (the original)
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is a great movie by the master of suspense movies! The acting is phenomenal as it stars Grace Kelly (so beautiful!) and Jimmy Stewart (one of my favorite actors). Jimmy Stewart plays a character who has broken his leg and is in a wheelchair and …
