Movies Reviews
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …
Jerry Maguire
I watched the movie Jerry Maguire for about the third or fourth time last night and have to say, while a good movie, it could have been much better.
I liked the idea of a movie that focuses on the part of professional sports most films barely even mention; sports …
Stepford Wives
I have seen almost all the movies of Nicole Kidman because she’s one of my favorite Hollywood actresses. So I was really excited to see Stepford Wives because aside from her, Bette Midler is also in the movie. Based on a book by Ira Levin and a remake of …
Leatherheads movie
Rob and I go to a lot of movies, one of our favorite movie theaters is located at Arundel Mills Malls, Hanover MD. We both enjoy the acting capabilities of George Clooney so when we saw the previews for the Leatherheads, we decided that this was one that …
Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Well? The 3rd Installation of The Mummy movie the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was quite disappointing! not only some of the main character had been changed? but also the Chinese theme of the story. for my opinion? when a movie like the mummy blend with Chinese culture well? …
Rocky VI Movie
The Italian Stallion versus the Siberian Bull in the amazing fourth instalment of the Rocky franchise.
Sylvester Stallone stars once again as the fantastic Rocky Balboa the underdog from Philadelphia this time meets the hardest opponent of his career in the mighty Ivan Drago.
At the start of the film Rock …
Rush Hour 2 (2001)
Rush Hour is back with a bang as Lee and Carter head out to China on vacation. Although they are supposed to be relaxing, Lee, played by Jackie Chan, is taking on assignments from his boss. This movie was not as good as the first, but still holds a …
Bonnie and Clyde (DVD Movie)
I call this my 1967 DVD classic movie and I never get tired of watching this endless times. Love both Bonnie and Clyde and if you are past 20 years of age and still don’t know who Bonnie and Clyde is, then you are really a geek, geez.
These 2 …
Last Days movie
Gus Van Sant is next to Jim Jarmusch probably the most interesting american independent filmmaker from the last 15 to 20 years. Last Days is his film that apparently tells the story of the last days of legendary Nirvana-member Kurt Cobain. The autentic names and songs in the Cobains …
Roman Holiday
How can you not love Roman Holiday? I love everything about this movie. The fact that she’s a princess who just needs a day off … and she meets a handsome man on the day off that she finally gets … what girl can’t relate to a princess who …
Movie Kiss the Girls
I am reviewing the movie, Kiss the Girls, starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. This movie is the prequel to the movie, Along Came a Spider. So there’s a doctor, played by Ashley Judd. Then there’s a detective named Alex Cross. His neice goes missing, as do several other …
Borderland
Borderland is one of the most convoluted horror movies that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of horror movies over the years. I bought the movie because it was part of the After Dark Horror Fest and I loved most of the movies that they released in …
From Justin to Kelly (2003)
This movie, starring the winner and second place runner for the American Idol competition, is nothing more than a publicity stunt to get the names and faces of these two nobodies and the time some well deserved attention. Bearing that in mind will help you to understand that this …
House of Wax
House of Wax is a horror movie that most people hated right away, but I liked it. I wouldn’t say that I loved the movie, but I didn’t think it was nearly as bad as everyone said. I’ve never seen the original movie and all I know of it …
Casino Royale (2006)
I’m only a moderate fan of James Bond movies, so perhaps you should take my review with a grain of salt. Still, I like most adventure movies, and love movies in general, so I decided to check out the newest James Bond.
Man, was I confused! I mean, I like …
Skyline ( 2010 Movie )
By accident I watched this film when we did not have any choice inside the mall.
The movie is a science fiction and directed by Brothers Strause. The movie started when Jarrod and Elaine were asked to join Terry’s birthday party in Los Angeles. Terry was Jarrod’s childhood friend who …
Role Models movie
Role models was a lot more funnier than I thought it was going to be. The movie has Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd in it. They face jail time but instead of jail they have an opportunity to do community service instead. They have to spend time with …
The Book of Eli Movie
I watched the Book of Eli last night not knowing what the movie is all about. The movie was a post-apocalyptic one, I guess that’s explains the dreary, dusty and dark atmosphere it exudes. The movie has a lot of mixed reviews. Some thought it was an …
Foxfire
Foxfire is a loose, modernized adaptation of the novel “Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang” by Joyce Carol Oates. This 1996 hardcore features one of the earliest performances by Angelina Jolie, and also features the talents of Hedy Burress, model Jenny Shimizu, and Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley fame.
Foxfire …
Nebraska (comedy drama)
If you like family dramas, independent films and road trip movies like me, you might find yourself liking the movie Nebraska. It’s different from a lot of other films I’ve seen, the plot is exciting even though it’s simple and it strives to be realistic.
When the movie begins, we see …
Love and Other Drugs (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “Love and Other Drugs” staring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, was not only funny but very heart warming and the perfect film to see if you are looking for comedy, romance, and great acting that will make you want to cry, laugh, sigh or all three.
Jake …
Son of the Mask (Movie 2005)
Just when you thought that it was safe to back into the water, dun dun…dun dun…dun dun…the had to go ahead and spoil a perectly good original movie with the crappy “Son of the Mask”. Tell me, why did they feel the need to create a sequel, was it …
As young as you feel movie
We had some free time last night so my wife and I decided to watch one of the Marilyn Monroe movies we had on our Netflix Player; As Young As You Feel.
I don’t know if I would really classify this as a Marilyn Monroe movie (she only had a …
Marley and Me movie
Marley and Me is a beautiful film showing the relationship between human and pet. I think its based on the novel with the same name. I have not read that novel though but the film is just amazing. It’s a real heart touching one. Owen Wilson and Jennifer …
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.
Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …
Alien vs. Predator
The anticipated meeting of two of movie’s greatest monsters is finally realized, but unfortunately fails to deliver beyond an initial, fleeting novelty.
There’s some thought put into it; an original Antarctic setting is visually impressive and the back story trying to tie these movie monsters into ancient history is …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
I can honestly say that I was never a big fan of the Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon… however, I must also say that I loved Alvin and The Chipmunks movie. When it first came out, I thought it’d be a silly movie that only kids could possibly …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 6
RomeoXJuliet Episode 6 begins with Dr. Lancelot donning the costume of the Red Whirlwind so that Juliet won’t risk her life to save the people who are going to be burned for being suspected as the vigilante. He gives a heroic speech before heroically sacrificing himself so that …

Twin Peaks Season 2
My two big brothers got me hooked on Twin Peaks only about five years ago. I had heard of the series before, but had never had the chance to watch it on television. I was too young! I liked the first season, despite the fact that it …
Epic (movie)
One of the animated movies that I watched fairly recently was Epic. I must have seen the trailer advertise a million and one times and not show any interest in seeing it, before I finally yielded one day after one of my family members got the blu-ray version and …
Westworld Movie
Filmed in 1973, the movie makes a decent attempt of portraying the future where very realistic, human-like androids serve for entertainment purposes. Delos, hailed as “vacation of the future,” is an amusement park divided into three major areas: West World, Medieval World, and Roman World; each one is populated …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete First Season
The first season of Beast Wars: Transformers is my second favorite season of the three season series. I like the blend of action, comedy, and the story arcs that the writers began to build and develop in this season that would carry over into the following seasons. The DVD …
Super Size Me
Super Size Me is a documentary film by Morgan Spurlock. Morgan Spurlock takes it u[on himself to eat nothing but McDonalds food for 30 days and he films himself for the entire duration of his eating drama. He gets pretty scientific with it all by involving healthcare professionals who …
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club remains, to this day, my favorite teen movie, and one of my favorite films overall. Simply put, it’s a classic. John Hughes manages to define his five principal characters as much more than the simple stereotypes presented in most teenage driven movies, while, at the same …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
I absolutely hated the original Cheaper by the Dozen movie and thought Hollywood was stupid coming out with another one. However, after seeing Cheaper By The Dozen 2, I’m willing to admit this is a rare case when the sequel is much better than the original.
The movie centers around …
Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …
The Social Network Movie (2010)
This movie is called The Social Network and it features the real-life story behind the billionaires of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin. This movie is really dramatic and when I watched this the movie house was all filled and I was surprised that Facebook has become so popular …
Life of Brian movie
The Monty Python crew makes fun of old religious values. Brian is born on the same day as Jesus and is stalked by the life of this man for the rest of his life. The film is more of a series a brilliant sketches than a film with a …
Drop Dead Gorgeous
It has been a while since I saw the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous so I took the time to watch it this morning when it was on TV.
While not quite as funny as I remember it, it is still an entertaining film.
The movie is essentially a behind-the-scenes look at …
Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie
The horror…the utter horror.
Not!!
This is a classic case of a mind at waste. How could they even consider making this movie and worse expect viewers to want to watch it. Well. as dumb as it is, I stood the torture and i watched it; and horrified I was. You …
The Ring (2002 Movie)
When i was searching for some movies to watch in the weekend i came across this movie “The ring” which is a thriller story.I dont know how i missed this wonderful horror movie.But should thank the library for having this in their collection and made to watch …
Green Lantern movie in 2D, starring Ryan Reynolds
First off, I must say that I am a very big fan of the Green Lantern comics and have been for over a decade. The reader needs to know of my bias towards this film. Unfortunately, there will be a few spoilers, but I’ll try to keep them at …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …
The Aristocrats Movie
I had never heard of the Aristocrats joke before this movie came out, which means I am probably like most people, since this seems to have been an in-joke among comedians that never really made it out into the popular culture prior to this film. I did find …
The West Wing Final Season
This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …
Mighty Joe Young
This movie came out quite a few years ago. My mother just bought it for my younger sister. She loves animals and loves movies. So she really enjoyed this movie. It’s about a gorilla. I think it’s a great movie overall. The acting is good, the story is good, …
Movie: “Sex Drive”
For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …
Candleshoe film
Candleshoe is a marvelous little film that stars the great Helen Hayes, the multi-talented Jodie Foster, and the always keen David Niven. Candleshoe is the large and very old manor house that Hayes, as Lady St. Edmund, owns. Niven is her butler, Priory, and Foster is a …
