Movies Reviews
We Are Marshall
I held off watching the movie We Are Marshall until I could see it for free on a movie channel. The reason for this is I expected it to be yet another sports movie filled with plenty of clichés and not much else.
I was right on the first part. …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Since my favourite director is Peter Jackson, I knew that rain or shine I had to go and see his latest movie “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”. Like Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, it is the first in a trilogy of movies that is to …
Men in Black 3 (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was “Men in Black 3”, starring the first movie’s original actors, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I have to admit that before I saw it, I was somewhat eager to watch the movie being that the plot sounded very …
The Rack movie
What a cast! I can’t believe I’ve let some quality Paul Newman films slip by without seeing them. I’ve always enjoyed Newman; he was a favorite of mine since I first saw him as a little girl. Somehow, though, I’ve been remiss in not catching some …
Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie
I am also a twilight fan and came to love the book, the characters and the movie itself. I never miss to watch each of its episodes when it came out. The best Twilight Series that I’m so into is the Eclipse.
I think among the three episodes the last …
Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set
The Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set is a three DVD set that includes just five Columbo episodes. It’s not much, but that’s all of the movies that aired in 1989.
I don’t like how the DVDs are set up, however. Universal isn’t known for providing quality …
Max Payne
I can’t help to mention that Max Payne is just a stupid movie. I wish that it could have been better so that I could give a real positive review, but watching this from start to finish at the cinema was just a waste of time. I wasted …
Old School the movie
I sat down with my mother, we were having a girls movie night. This girls night movie theme was comedy. Will Ferrel is always at the top of my list for comedy movies. He did not let me down on this one at all. I laughed during almost the …
Tschick (German Movie)
Tschick is a movie directed by director Fatih Akin based on a best-selling Young Adult novel Tschick (translated as Why We Took the Car in English). It’s a shame I cannot find a trailer for the movie with English subtitles even though the film is released with English subtitles. So …
We Are Marshall Movie
We Are Marshall starts out with the tragedy of Marshall’s football team in 1970 (for those of you who don’t know, the plan crashed killing all but four of the football team, as well as most of the coaches and football staff, some parents, and fans, a total of …
Happy Feet movie
I did not see the movie Happy Feet in the theatre, but my daughter recently received it for her birthday. My kids, ages 7 and 8, enjoyed it but it did not hold their attention and I doubt they will be wanting to watch it a second time. …
Man On Fire
Man On Fire stars Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, and Dakota Fanning. This is an exceptional film that dealt with the serious issue of the kidnapping business in Mexico, yet did so in a very warm manner.
How do you make a great film about any subject? …
One Missed Call
After the ring came out in 2002, quite a few movie producers have tried to copy its success by tweaking the plot a bit.
One Missed Call does this as well. Too bad they don’t do a good enough job at it.
In theory, this should be a scary film. Whenever …
Babel movie

Romeo and Juliet Movie (1996)
If I wanted to read Shakespeare, I would, but if given the chance to watch Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in the big screen, I would certainly choose that instead.
When Romeo and Juliet movie came out in 1996, I really got excited because it stars Leonardo DiCaprio (who is really, …
Despicable Me Movie
Rarely am I interested in movies, so it always comes as a surprise for me if I’m interested in watching a movie for a second or even third time. Despicable Me was such a great movie that I now have it on a regular weekend rotation. This movie, starring …
Iron Man 2 (2010 Film)
After watching the first “Iron Man”, I knew that I would have to watch the second one, which came out in 2010. “Iron Man 2” was not only as well acted and plotted out as the first one, but delivered an even more powerful character conflict and a very …

Movie: You’ve Got Mail
“You’ve Got Mail” has a couple of good taglines, “someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life,” and “at odds in life… in love on-line.” Both of them fit in very well with the plot of the movie. One should remember that ten …
A Walk to Remember
“Tearjerker.” That’s how many people describe the movie adaptation of the popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, featuring pop princess Mandy Moore and TV cutie Shane West.
But unlike the novel version that is set in the 1950’s, the movie version was set in a more recent time of 1998, probably …

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
I could not miss this second instalment of Madagascar for the world as I had simply loved the first one. I caught this with my cousin and went with a high expectation, especially after the fantastic part 1. After all, the trailers for part 2 was also equally impressive …
Silent Hill (starring Radha Mitchell)
Silent Hill starring Radha Mitchell is quite a dark movie. Radha plays a very distraught mom in this movie and her character name is Rose. She goes into Silent Hill in search of her daughter whom has this problem of sleep-walking. Little does she know that this …
Stranger Than Fiction (R, 1999)
This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …
Burn After Reading
From the amazing masterpiece that was No Country For Old Men, the Coen brothers bring you there latest movie, Burn After Reading. I am officially now calling the Coen brothers geniuses. To go from No Country For Old Men, a serious and frightening tale, to the comedy …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …
Punisher: War Zone, comic book action film by Lexi Alexander
Marvel has a lot of memorable characters. One of those characters that everybody knows is the Punisher. It may seem like an easy task to make a movie based around this character, but two prier films have shown that this character is better on paper that on the big …
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear
Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …
Dracula Untold (Movie)
Dracula Untold is a 2014 action, drama and fantasy movie directed by Gary Shore. After knowing it’s title I thought it would be some sort of vampire horror movie, but after I watched the trailer it didn’t seemed scary to me at all. In fact, I found the movie to …

Movie : Haeckel’s Tale
Haeckel’s Tale is yet another one hour short film from the Showtime Series Masters of Horror. Directed by John McNaughton I would say its definitely the weakest entry from the first season of the show and in the bottom five of both seasons of the show. John …

My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Ok, I’ll admit it, when My Super Ex-Girlfriend came out, I thought it was going to be stupid. That’s why I didn’t see it at the theater or even rent it on DVD.
However, when I finally saw it on cable the other day, I have to admit I was …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )
I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …
Zack and Miri make a porno Movie
I just recently finished watching this comedy movie on DVD player. Firstly, I should say that there are only few bits that I really find very funny. I was disappointed though because I was expecting that there could be lots of hilarious stuff. But I think …
