Paranormal Activity movie
Paranormal Activity is probably the least scary movie I have seen. I can say with all honesty that I did not find this movie funny. Yeah sure it got a lot of crazy reviews and media hype. But when ti came down to sitting down and watching this film even …
The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …

Man on Fire film
One of the best action films I have ever seen. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning are the lead cast in this film and a do a superb job to say the least! Denzel plays a lost man trying to find peace, do to a obvious history of violence and …
The Family Man movie
The Family Man is a great drama movie. It stars Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. In this movie Nicolas Cage’s character get’s to see how life would have been if he would have married his girlfriend instead of splitting. I thought this was a great family movie. It’s emotional, …

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Out of curiosity in college, I watched this movie. That was because of my professor in Graphics and Special Effects who recommended this to the class saying this has a good special effects sample. Well, it did not fail me. The transformation of humans into grotesque …

Repo: The Genetic Opera
This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …
The North Star movie
The North Star from 1943 shows the will and resolve of a good people when faced with a giant oppression. It takes place in a Polish village. The opening theme is so light and bouncy that you don’t even suspect the horror that is to come as the …

Life Size
This movie, Life Size is an unlikely acting duo from Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks. I bet not many people have watched this on movies nor DVD before, right..? In fact, I wouldn’t even realize its existence had it not been for my sweet of a cousin who …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
Strawberry Shortcake: Big Country Fun
My daughter spends a great deal of time watching some of the newer episodes of Strawberry Shortcake. So, as a bit of a change, I got her one of the older episodes of the show.
While the only noticeable difference in Big Country Fun compared to other Strawberry Shortcake movies …
Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, movie
Birdman aka “The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance”, is a surprisingly dark-comedy film denoting the struggles of faded Hollywood star Riggan Thompson (Michael Keaton).

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, vigilante film
Everything about this movie makes no sense. You have a bunch of Italian mobsters who act like flaming retards. The second hand of the mob looks like an idiot with his puffy hair and he talks sort of like an actor who is trying to talk like an Italian. …
The Searchers
The Searchers, directed by John Ford, is a classic for all to see. This movie also stars John Wayne and you just can’t find star power like that anywhere else. The movie is about Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his nephew, not by kin, Martin Paulie (Jeffrey …
Michael Clayton movie
The best words to describe the movie “Michael Clayton” is a deep drama movie that will make you bite your nails till the last minute. The true assets of this movie are the main actors, George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton. Sadly only Tilda Swinton won an Oscar …
Lord of War (2005 film)
I have always admired propaganda films for the boldness of their script and their natural rebellious nature. Perhaps the most sucker punching film of the highest production values is Lord of War.
Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage) has a talent for smuggling weapons, a talent that …
Jaws (1975)
Jaws (1975) is a suspense film from director Steven Spielberg and is rated PG by the MPAA

Movie: Crush
As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I finally had some time without the kids last night and decided to spend some time watching some, well, movies that would be classified as steamy romance.
We were flipping through potential movies and decided to watch a film called Crush; …

Sex and the City The Movie
Sex in the City, The Movie was fabulous. I missed the HBO series because I don’t get HBO. Over two weeks, I rented all five years from Blockbuster.com and couldn’t watch them fast enough. Is it over the top sometimes? Yes. Is there any reality? …
Hacksaw Ridge (2016 Biographical War Drama Film)
I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …
Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …
Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit,1968 movie
This is a good, although dated, family movie that you can safely watch with your children without worrying about bad language, violence, or nudity. If your child is obsessed with horses, like I used to be when I was a kid, this movie will be a great choice.
Helen (Ellen …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …
Katie Leung as Cho Chang
I still don’t understand why JK Rowling had insisted that the actress to play Cho Chang had to be an ‘unknown’. There are a lot of Asian actresses around who would have been perfect for the role. I think they made a mistake in choosing her. Aside from not …
Me and My Sister
Have you ever meet two sisters or brothers who seem to be completely different from each other, that you ask yourself how could they be related? It did actually happened to me, and I am sure that if you search your memory you will remember of a similar situation. …
Return of the Jedi
In the third installment of the original Star Wars triology was the Return of the Jedi. I think that this was one exciting movie.
Our list of charachters return with Luke Skywalker now a full fledged Jedi, and part of him, his arm has been replaced with …
Happy Feet
I have watched the movie ‘Happy Feet’. This is a very nice movie. This movie is about penguins. The story line is good. There is a penguin couple in Antarctica. This couple gives birth to a male penguin.
This male penguin is very much different from the other penguins …
Ganheddo movie
A sort of b-production science fiction from the late 1980s about a war between humans and machines. The year is 2038 and Ganheddo is a place where all surviving humans have gathered to figure out a way of destroying the evil machines. A theme seen many times through the …
Wedding Daze (2004)
When I came across the movie Wedding Daze on television, I thought it was the comedy starring Jason Biggs. Instead, it was a Hallmark Original movie that, for a comedy, was actually very dumb.
It’s really disappointing that an actor like John Laroquette, who made his mark as a womanizer …
Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
Due South: Pilot

I am Legend
…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
But then again, it’s not all his fault that this remake …
Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray stars in this crazy movie about a cynical and snobbish TV reporter whose life is turned upside down when he’s forced to cover the story of Groundhog Day in Pennsylvania. Phil, Murray’s character, believes the story is beneath him. He just wants to get the …
