The Goonies (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …

Kill Bill 2
My mind flies to the time I had seen Kill Bill 1, on the very first night it had been given to the crowd. I, as everybody else who rispected Q. Tarantino, waited for another grand work on the big screen.

Now, after …

First of all, the movie …
Catch and Release
In the movie “Catch and Release” we see the actress, Jennifer Garner with a sad face most of the time, but believe me this movie is by far not boring. One can describe best “Catch and Release” as a romantic movie about relationships and trust ideal for both women …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …
Ever After movie
I am surprised that this movie is not better known. I’ve never heard of it, until I happened to see the videotape at our public library and decided to check it out. “A Cinderella Story,” the subtitle said. Well, I thought, that can be a good and a bad …

It seems that Ben Afflick liked to work a lot with his lovers. “Bounce” is the drama movie he made with his then girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow. He also did two movies - “Jersey Girl” and “Gigli” - with his later on lover, Jennifer Lopez. To add to this, he …
I am legend
I think “I am legend” is one of the quiet movies, because along the first hour, i just saw a will smith as the center of this movie. It seems that he is the only actor in this movie. In the scene, he shows his self centered. The script …

The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe
This evening I watched “The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. I had heard mixed reviews, yet I wanted to see this movie for myself.
I had seen the original cartoon movie, way back when.
I have to say I really liked this remake.
I …
Transformers 1 Movie
Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …
Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …
March of the Wooden Soldiers
I never really understood the fascination with Laurel and Hardy movies before; mostly because I never got an opportunity to watch them. It was a popular dual before I was even born and, let’s be honest, it’s not like it would be the type of movie I would look …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
Pixels (Science Fiction Comedy Movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “Pixels” I didn’t have a lot of great expectations of it when taking into consideration the premise of the movie. However, I did assume that it was going to be one of those lighthearted movies that was both fun and funny. …
The Holiday movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet, Joe Black, Cameron Diez, and Jude Law. Kate Winslet’s character is a fool for love, but the problem is, the guy she love doesn’t love her back. She’s involved in a game of cat and mouse as he …

The Empire Strikes Back
The second in the original star wars triogly was the Empire Strikes back. this movie in my opinion was a bridge between the first installment the Star Wars, and the third movie of the trioplogy the Return of the Jedi.
Again we meet Luke as he is a …
Transformers Animated Series - Swoop Action Figure
The Swoop action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is pretty cool but has a few negatives as well. I recently purchased him at Walmart for $11.99. As Transformers fans will know, he is one of the Dinobots - robots that transform into dinosaurs. …
Hancock
I saw this movie last week. Hancock is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is dominated by brooding, serious superheroes with little or no sense of humour. It features Will smith, Charlize theron and Jason Bateman. The story is about John Hancock (Will smith), a reckless …
1492: Conquest of Paradise movie
A film by the uneven filmmaker Ridley Scott about the explorer Chrisopher Columbus who discovered America. In my own humble opinion an extremely boring film with no sense of cinema what so ever. Ridley Scott proved his talent several times in his early career with brilliant visual films like …
Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …
