Movies Reviews
X-Men
The turn of the millenium brought in some great movies, and some not so great movies. It followed the trend of the late nineties by introducing more and more comic book heroes to the ranks of the silver screen. One of my favorite comic books to ever go the …
Iron Man (2008)
Director: Jon Favreau. Featuring : Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges.
Most definitely a good movie to watch. My friend had convinced me go and see it. I was hesitant because I thought it was going to be a kids’ movie, which I suppose it was meant to be, …
Sleepers: Movie
I found Sleepers to be quite an interesting film, mainly due to the fact that I am a fan of a good revenge story.
I wasn’t entirely satisfied at the ending, but I feel that the emotion captured by the actors was so good that it softened the blow a …
Sixteen Candles,1984 movie
“Sixteen Candles” obviously stands for sixteen candles on a birthday cake, but Samantha (Molly Ringwald) doesn’t get one. Her sister is getting married, so the family, preoccupied with the coming wedding, forgets about Samatha’s birthday. Being a typical teen, Samantha feels like the whole world has turned black. In …
The Heroin Busters, movie (1977)

The film presents an exaggerated take on the seedy underbelly …
The Devil Wears Prada
I was a bit bored last night because the baby was awake and I couldn’t seem to find anything on TV. So, I ended up going to one of our movie channels and watching the Devil Wears Prada once again.
You know what, this movie gets worse every time I …
Movie Summer Magic
Summer Magic is a terrific family film with the delightful Hayley Mills in the lead role. She’s on the edge of adulthood here, playing a 16-year-old named Nancy Carey. Her mother and brother have rented the yellow house which belongs to some wealthy man who doesn’t actually …

Film “Groundhog Day”
The movie Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time because it has a lot to offer. It is a comedy but it does not relay on silly gags or stunts you have seen in other movies. It does have a handful of gags such …
Meet the Parents
Meet the Parents was a great and very funny movie. I really liked this film and it made me laugh a lot. I think the best thing about the film is that Ben Stiller was in it. I never even knew who this guy was until I saw Meet the …
The Incredibles
This movie was, if you’ll pardon the use of the word, incredible. And believe it or not, it was not because of the animation. It was the story that made this film so likable. So good, in fact, that I almost wish it were a live action superhero movie …
Movie Fired Up
We watched the movie Fired Up this past weekend. When I decided to watch it, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an OK movie.
OK, let me start out by saying this film isn’t for everyone in the family. It was about as raunchy …
District 9 (2009), Neill Blomkamp
I caught a few trailers for this, but otherwise managed to miss the hype - and so was not entirely sure what to expect.
I was very pleasantly surprised, because it was so utterly unexpected.
The first few minutes were quite surreal. In a documentary style, we are told that the …
The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …
Full Moon wo Sagashite
The anime “Full Moon wo Sagashite” means “in search of a full moon”. It is a touching anime featuring a girl named Mitsuki who is 12 years old at the time. She has throat cancered and two death gods visited her, telling she only has a year to live. …
Captain Fantastic (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
This year is the year of surprises for me. I have expected many films to be great, such as Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and they end up not matching my expectations. However, films such as Sing Street, Swiss Army Man, Hunt for the …
Night at the Museum
I am reviewing the movie, Night at the Museum, starring Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller’s character is a guy who can’t keep a job very easily. He has a son. He and his wife got a divorce years ago, and so he doesn’t get to see his son as much …
Lying to Be Perfect (movie)
Some time ago, the thought of watching a movie on Lifetime or a Lifetime Original movie was not appealing to me. However, these days I’ve found quite a few of them to be quite interesting and “Lying to Be Perfect” is one of those.
The movie is about a …
Legend (movie)
I had heard of the Tom Cruise film “Legend,” but I never got around to watching it until last night. While, overall, it wasn’t a bad movie, I’m not sure if I was overly impressed by it either.
Cruise plays a hermit who is called on to face the Prince …
Mean Girls: Bullying and Not Taking it Seriously
New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …
The Guardian, Andrew Davis Movie
Legend of Hero Savior in Ocean
“To have other people can live,” said the motto of the U.S. Coast Guard, the story can be enjoyed in the recent film director Andrew Davis, The Guardian. In wholesaler Oscar stars Kevin Costner and the young actor Ashton Kutcher, “The Guardian” recounts …
Ice Princess, movie (2005)
Disney films can be characterized by the epithet “fairy tale.” And The Ice Princess is no exception: a simple, somewhat naive plot. A schoolgirl heroine, a kind of “Cinderella” who is bound to become a star at the end. There are very few movies about sports, per se. In …
Back to the Future (1985 movie)
There are only two words that best describe this movie: science fiction classic!! When the film first came out in 1985, I was just a kid. It had a few curse words in it, but to a kid, that was considered cool–correction: totally cool (it was …
World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
Swing Hostess movie
Swing Hostess, a 1944 musical film, felt very much like a predecessor to Singing in the Rain to me. I thought of that almost all the way through, although it wasn’t the same story exactly.
One of the things I really liked about his movie was seeing how the …
Mongolian Chop Squad
Hi my name is Mark and I am an anime fan, I do collect and buy anime series whenever I get my salary. Usually I buy 1 or 2 DVD’s depending on my budget because I have an obligation to my family. Eversince I started watching Japanese cartoons or …
Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge is one of my most favorite movies of all time and I teared while watching this. I don’t know why but there is something personal and touching about stories that have elements of forbidden love. This sweeping movie story reminds me a lot on Romeo and …
Sing, Cowboy, Sing movie
Before this week, my exposure to Tex Ritter was just knowing that he was a singing cowboy and that he was John Ritter’s father. In fact, watching him, all I could think about was John. I saw John in Tex so much that it was almost distracting. …
Cry-Baby movie
Last week I watched a movie called Cry-Baby with my girlfriend as she’s found a fascination with Johnny Depp and this is I believe his first major role in a movie. To be very honest, my expectations for this movie were extremely low and I honestly didn’t expect …
Chicken Run cartoon
Chicken run is an animated cartoon movie about a group of chickens who try to escape from a chicken farm. I thought this movie was actually pretty good. I thought I wouldn’t like it as it was an animated cartoon but once I watch it I realized it was …
Batman Returns 1992 Movie
With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …
Film “The Attic”
I just watched the attic last night on Hulu. It was an ok film for something made at the low budget level. I’m not sure but I would guess this was either a straight to video or a tv release based on the production values. I …
Rise of the Guardians (movie)
Rise of the Guardians is an 2012 animation, adventure and family movie directed by Peter Ramsay who didn’t had much experience in directing animation movies as it was his first animation movie. Previously he directed “Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space” short Tv show. The …
The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …
Four Brothers (2005 movie)
A little old lady is tragically and brutally slain in a side shop in her neighborhood. Hearing the news, her four adopted sons return home to find the people responsible for the death of their beloved mother. This movie is a true masterpiece from a well-known director John Singleton. …

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.1: Pilot
I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about what this show was going to be like before watching the first episode. We have a cast of practically new actors who are playing familiar characters we all know and love, Sarah and John Connor in particular. For those of …
Meet the Spartans
Normally, I like movies that spoof other movies; everything from Scary movie to pretty much anything made by Mel Brooks. But, after watching Meet the Spartans last night, I no longer can say I like all movies in that genre.
The thing about Meet the Spartans is it had the …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that people either love or don’t care for at all. I’m definitely one of the former people, which explains why I now own three copies of the movie on DVD. When I was looking through the racks of a local store and …
Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
A continuation from the first volume of the Kill Bill saga, with a list of sub plots that basically gives us an inside look at the various female characters that are in this movie. Apart from Bill and his brother Budd, all other killer characters in this movie are …
Blood The Last Vampire [DVD]. Animated horror movie
Blood: The Last Vampire offers wonderful animation, grisly action, and an awesome main character, but lacks in overall length and depth of what truly could have been a perfect title. Saya is on the hunt for chiropterans, vampire-like demons that are wreaking havoc on a military base in Japan. …
Finn’s Girl movie
“Satisfyingly adult in its depiction of female sexuality” - that’s an endorsement from LA Weekly for this movie.
The cover’s poster is two woman holding each other tight and smiling happily, as they’re in love. So i guess this is a lesbian movie, right? But not the one you …
Wishmaster (1997)
This movie is the classic case of being careful what you wish for. I have always been telling my friends and family that very same quote year after year, time after time and it has never proven me wrong to date. Whether you are talking about real life situations …
And Then There Were None movie
Ten people are assembled on an isolated island, as well as a butler plus his wife, for the weekend. Not any of them claim to recognize their host who invited them and one by one they begin being killed off simply once their host Mr U N Owen allows …
Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen Movie
Midnight in Paris is a romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen. He is a very controversial character that has given us many motion pictures, some good ones but also some really odd. I never know what to expect from Woody Allen but I try to watch every …
Independence day
Well, what an intriguing mystery on how the aliens (if there are) may look like was given a hypothetical description in this movie. Yes, it is possible that our technology here on earth may be a little rusty but perhaps those aliens could have done something about their …
Oceans Movie
Recently the movie Oceans became available on Netflix instant queue and I immediately added it. I am a big fan of nature movies because they offer a glimpse of an extremely beautiful world that most of us hardly ever get to see to the extent that it deserves. Oceans …
Fired Up (Movie) 2009
I really enjoy watching comedy movies. One day as I was surfing channels I was able to see the movie Fired Up in Star Movies.
Fired Up is about two guys who are football jocks who want to go and join the cheerleading camp just to be able to check …
