The Lost Boys movie
A horror film by Joel Schumacher about a company of young vampires on motorcycles who attack a young man and his brother. It has reached cult reputation by some people who grew up in the 1980s when it came it, but personally I just found it a very long …

Sunshine (UR, 2007)
I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …
Serendipity (2001)
John Cusack (Jonathan Trager) and Kate Beckinsale (Sara Thomas) star in this dramatic romantic comedy that is just phenomenal. The both meet a department store where they met each other on the issue of a pair of gloves. Dare I say, I just love Kate’s smile.
A mutual attraction is …

The Notebook
I don’t usually like romance books or movies because to me they all seem to be way too unrealistic for my comfort, even though ironically I love things such as good fantasy novels and movies and horror novels and movies. This was why I first shied away from the …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
Top Gun
For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …
A Christmas Carol 3D (Movie, 2009)
“A Christmas Carol 3D” stars Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge. He also did the voices of all three of the Ghosts of Christmas. A movie of “A Christmas Carol” has been done to death. It seems almost every year, there’s another adaption of Charles Dickens’s famous novel. So, I …
The Love Guru
I’ve always liked Mike Myers as a comedian. However, some of his movies haven’t been anywhere near as good as his earlier films like Wayne’s World and Austin Powers Man of Mystery. So, when his movie The Love Guru came out, I ended up believing the critics when they …
Stag
This is a program that I often see on Pay-Per-View that shows mainly the bachelor of a soon to be married couple going out on the town with his friends to celebrate his last night as a single man. They hop from club to club, drinking and having a …
XXY (2008)
XXY is a real shocker. You know from the start that there is something not right going on, some dark secret surrounding Alex, the 15 year old daughter of a couple living on a remote stretch of the coast of Uruguay. Is Alex a child murderer, a witch? Is …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Another Cinderella story with a cultural relevance is Memoirs of a Geisha, a movie adaptation of Arthur Golden’s best selling novel. If there is anyone who is into cultural immersion and intense drama, then I recommend this movie.
The movie follows the story of Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), a young girl …

Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
Peacock (Movie 2010)
John Skillpa has been living alone inside his home for over a year. Everyone in the neighborhood thought so. But is he really alone in that house? Or was he hiding someone else?
Cillian Murphy (John Skillpa) scares us with a very bizzare behavior. Everyday, before the clock strikes 8 o’clock …
DreamGirls (2006 Movie)
I recently saw this movie and loved it. The acting and musical talent was awesome. I already knew that Beyonce` could sing wonderfully but was pleasantly surprised to know that Eddie Murphy could also. There were so many instances that that I laughed and cried. Seeing this movie made …

Good Night And Good Luck movie
An abundant of people denounce against movies since they judge that films are just made for entertainment and they spoil a child’s mind. I oppose this thought since many films today are educational which teach us history from over hundreds of years ago. Good Night, and Good Luck is …
Halloween 2
My wife and I saw the first Halloween re-make when it came out and wanted to see the sequel to it. We got a chance to do that last night.
While a decent movie, I can honestly say it didn’t live up to the first one.
I liked the fact they …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 40
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 40 begins with General Olivier Mira Armstrong arriving in Central and being questioned by King Bradley on what happened to Raven, she manages to make him think that Raven told her everything about him instead of the Elric Brothers and he offers her Raven’s vacant …
Robinson Crusoe movie
This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film. Buñuel was otherwise a filmmaker who never let the audience’s needs come in conflict with his artistic vision, and only created what he felt was important. His version of Robinson Crusoe shows that …
U-571 (2000)
U-571, directed by Jonathan Mostow is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for war violence. The original release date was April 21, 2000 for United States audience.

D.E.B.S (2004)
Chick flick alert! This movie is centered around for basically cheerleading girls who, through a secret test in their school passed to become a group of spies. The test itself is designed to test the candidates’ abilities to fight, lie, cheat and kill. Needless to say, these four passed …
Hulk Movie (with Edward Norton)
After the bomb that was the last Hulk movie, the new one gave me a nice sigh of relief. I was skeptical about it at first, but I’ve never seen a film with Edward Norton that I did not like, so I decided to check it out.
Unlike its predecessor, …
Sleeping Beauty Disney 2-Disc DVD
Recently, Disney released their classic “Sleeping Beauty” on DVD. It’s a 2-disc version, with some great fun bonus features, and (of course) the movie.
When I was a kid, this was one of the few movies that actually managed to thrill me, and yet scare me in at least …
After Dark Thrillers dvd
Here is another dvd from my friend’s horror movie dvd collection. He likes old movies from the seventies mostly, and lent me this dvd which he said he was told had some good horror films on it. However, when I watched it I didn’t like the movies at all. …
Fourth Harry Potter Movie
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie came out this past year and it was wonderful! It is my favorite movie of the Harry Potter movies so far! The acting was great and so were the settings and scenes! The fourth book is huge and they were able …
The Lake House Movie
Trying to describe this movie is difficult because the “science” of it detracts from its warmth and the beauty of the love story between two people who had to be together in spite of the impossibilty of it. I watch it often and never tire of it.
A quirk in the …
Movie: Dracula Dead and Loving It
Synopsis: This Mel Brooks movie is a spoof of the Dracula horror franchise. Leslie Nielson stars as the count and an all star cast tries to stop him from claiming the life of the damsel in distress.
What I liked about this movie: I’m a huge fan of the book …
Masters of Horror : Pro Life (NR, 2007) movie
The Masters of Horror series is like a crap shoot. You never know what kind of mess (or jewel) you’re going to get. John Carpenter, the director behind this film did a fairly good job of creating suspense and horror. The film focuses on a 15 …
“Eyes Wide Shut” (1999 film)
Occupying the position of the iconic Stanley Kubrick’s final directorial effort, completed just days before his passing, ANY movie would be the center of a lot of divided opinions and the source of controversy. After all, those qualities apply to just about every one of the movies in Kubrick’s …
Big Daddy movie
Big Daddy is a nice comedy movie with some emotional scenes. This Adam Sandler starred movie has some heart touching scenes to it’s credit. Sonny is a job less and irresponsible guy. Though his friends and the people from his college have moved ahead in life and are doing …
Mamma Mia! Movie (2008)
I had only watched this movie recently as I thought it was corny, but to my surprise, it turned out to be really great! The movie was comedic and was kind of a musical, I surprised myself by really liking it, it was actually the first time I heard …
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Movie
The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …
Fifty Shades of Grey - Movie (2015)
This is a movie where I feel people will have mixed emotions about. Either they will find it really entertaining or very disturbing. For me personally, I found it to be a not-so thrilling movie as the story isn’t much for me, however I wasn’t disturbed. Having read the Fifty …
Pretty Woman
I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.
Maybe I’m just a closet Julia Roberts fan but I just can’t get enough of a Cinderella story that has a prostitute and millionaire falling …
Batman Begins (Movie)
Everyone I knew told me to go see Batman Begins because they thought I would love it. I’m a fan of comic books, and I own nearly every comic book themed movie in the world. Still I could tell from the previews that it was a movie I just …
Norbit
When I first watched the movie Norbit, in the theater, I wasn’t really impressed by it. However, after watching it again last night, I have to admit I found it a lot better on DVD.
My biggest objection to Norbit the first time I watched it is I felt it …
King Kong Production Diaries
When The remake of King Kong came out on dvd I was excited to pick up my copy because this movie was a fantastic movie with loads of visual effects and it was the by far the best remake of any King Kong. I also really liked alot of …
Herbie: Fully Loaded
When I was growing up, Herbie movies were a staple of our movie nights. Who couldn’t love the Love Bug.
In this latest reincarnation of the car hero, he is teamed with Lindsay Lohan. And, quite honestly, I didn’t like the pair.
While the movie did stick to the family-oriented entertainment …
Nosferatu
Nosferatu is such a cool, classic movie. We are talking black and white, 1929, horror at its best. Nosteratu, if you don’t know, is a vampire. He’s a Dracula, but not Dracula. Nosferatu is a silent film and what is so very cool about it is the looks, the …
King Kong Movie
I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …
Carnage (2011 drama movie)
I only became familiar with the movie Carnage when I saw it being aired on Starz Cinema some time last year. I was looking for something interesting and unique to watch, and it was the plot that drew me to it. While watching the movie I realized that it was …
Movie Revolutionary Road
I watched the movie Revolutionary Road with a couple of friends at the movies. Since, we loved Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicarprio in the movie Titanic. This film really impressed me. The film is about love, emotion, marriage, arguments, affairs, and tragic losses etc that every couple in the …
Penn & Teller Get Killed
A comedian couple have their own show on television. Their humour is very sick in courting to some people and they also use magic. One day they challenge the people watching for murder on themselves.
A very weak comedy to be honest with only a few funny moments combined with …
Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.
It had been a while since I’ve seen this movie and I didn’t remember much about it. But, after watching it again, I can remember …
