A silent classic by Sergei Eisenstein in which a factory of workers is putting up a strike when one of their fellows is savagely killed by soldiers. This montage-tecnique these russians directors used was a remarkable cinematic achievement that all of the world were a amazed by, and many …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …

“It Must be Love” (2004 Lifetime Movie Network Film)
This 2004 Lifetime Movie Network film, “It Must be Love”, starring Ted Danson and real life wife Mary Steenburgen, was as adorable romance to say the very least. The simple plot that captures the attention of the viewer is hard to ignore. It was also very interesting to see …
Fair Game movie
A second rate action film with the model Cindy Crawford in the role of a woman who is followed by a seemingly crazy man. This whole film is an excuse for promoting Crawford’s career in my opinion, and that result is, not very unexpected, an embarrassing attempt of something …
She’s the Man Movie
This movie is based very loosely on 12th Night by Shakespeare. I watched the actual movie 12th Night first so when I saw She’s the Man, I put it together that it was based on it. Basically this movie is about this pair of twins, a boy and a …
National Treasure movie
I admit that I don’t like watching Nicholas Cage movies. There is nothing wrong with his acting skills; however for me he represent an actor with a lot of contrast. I really enjoyed watching his movie “The Rock”; however I really hated to watch his movie “City of Angels”. …
Snakes on a Plane (movie)
I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …
“Little Drummer Girl” Movie (Drama)
“The Little Drummer Girl” as a film is perhaps to some not has compact in its storytelling as the best selling novel written by author John Le Carre. The adaptation of the novel to film does not reach the depth as to the audience member’s emotional response as …

Mortal Kombat (1995)
This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …
Yes Man Movie
This is one of the many movies I have seen in the theaters, which is the best place to watch really good inspirational movies. That’s what this movie did for me- it inspired me. After watching this movie, I realized all the things I’ve never done and all the …
Warren Haynes DVD
I have been very lucky to find a DVD of an excellent benefit concert, recorded live at Warren Haynes 18th Annual Christmas Jam on December 16, 2006, at the Asheville Civic Center, North Carolina. DVD is recently released, on June 24, 2008.
Warren Haynes is a member of the …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
Wild Orchid (1990)
A story about love and the breaking down of those strong emotional barriers that people have around them, this movie is about a young woman who gets involved with a reclusive millionaire in Brazil, there, she is introduced to many levels of psychological and sexual tests at the hands …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie
I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …
The Mommy Chronicle by Sara Ellington and Stephanie Triplett
The mommy chronicles is a book that compiles the conversation of two best friends who are both first time mothers. Sara and Stephanie were both pregnant and their dues were only weeks apart, they started emailing each other about their journey in their pregnancy. They discovered throughout journey a …
The Foresaken Movie
The Foresaken is one of the many horror movies that were rushed into production following the success of Scream. The makers grabbed a handful of attractive actors, and slapped together a movie without giving it a lot of though.
On the surface this is a typical teen vampire movie, …
Freedom Writers (movie)
Freedom Writers stars Hilary Swank as the teacher who goes into a system that is doomed and comes out on top. Hilary Swank is awesome as Erin, and she does not disappoint at all in this role. Another thing that I really like about Freedom Writers is that it …
Song for a Raggy Boy (movie)
I’m a lover of both historical and independent films, and so when it was recommended that I watch the movie “Song for a Raggy Boy” I was very delighted to watch it. I thought that it would have been interesting to see a historical movie depicting the pre World …
The Empire Strikes Back movie
As I said in my Star Wars review, I’ve only seen the original three movies and I loved them. They made a complete package for me. In my heart, I think of this movie as The Empire Strikes Back and not as Star Wars: Episode V - …

Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …
Hot Shots Part Deux
Hot Shots Part Deux
This show was made back in the 1990’s when these “stupid” comedies making fun of other shows were very popular. Yet today it still hold very funny. This is the second of the Hot Shots series. Going after the first this one doesn’t lose any charm …
Warm Bodies (movie)
Just a few days ago, one of my friends and I went to see the movie “Warm Bodies”, which seemed like one of the few interesting movies going on despite what some people had said about it in reviews on the internet. The few reviews and comments about it …
The Parent Trap
My mom purchased this version of the classical Parent Trap. I’ve watched it over a hundred times and it still gets me laughing. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t even heard of it or seen it. It’s just another one of those things that gets passed down generation to …

Movie Cars
Cars is one of the best animation film that I really really love so much. I love the animation and the 3D effects of the film. I am sure that all of it were skilfully done just to make it more pleasing to the eyes. Not only did I …

Ouran High School Host Club Episode 1 starts outside a school and is about a high school student named Haruhi Fujioka, an honors student in an elite, private school where students from rich, wealthy families go to school. One day she wanders into Music Room 3 to look …
Transporter 2
What little characterization from the first movie is tossed aside as Frank…whatever his last name was is now in Miami acting as chauffeur for a politician and his family. It’s clearly a temp job, but he does get along well enough with the kid, testing the boy’s intellect …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …
The Weight of Water (R, 2001)
It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …
The Mangler movie
It’s a movie about a killer washing machine. Really, what more do you need to know?
It’s based on a short story by the master of horror himself, taken from a collection called “Night Shift”. Despite the goofy plot, the story actually works pretty well. Heck, as …
Movie: The Ruins
When I think of The Ruins the words for decription that come to mind is unexpected surprise. Although I’m a huge fan of horror films, creature features are not the ones I enjoy the most. I don’t even remember why I put this on my netflix queue …
Sex and Death 101 DVD Movie
Alright, before you get too skeptical about the DVD title movie, Sex and Death 101, let me tell you that this movie is actually pretty harmless, minus all the ‘racy’ scenes, which I’m not interested at all. I just love the comedic storyline and here is it.
Simon Baker …
Identity Thief (movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Identity Thief on youtube before it came out I never really thought that it stood out, and so I wasn’t particularly interested in watching it. However, one or two people who I know encouraged me to watch it a little after …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …

This cartoon movie which is Aristocat is a story about the life of a rich family cat who were thrown by their master’s butler because of greediness, they were able to find themselves together with a stray cat who helped them. I like the story so much since it …

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
This was on the television the other day and I have never seen it so I decided to watch it. Honestly it didn’t live up to it’s expectations. I wasn’t entertained or interested in the movie as much as I should have been. I became bored watching the movie. …
Open Season
When I finally got around to watching the movie Open Season this past weekend, I figured it would be a lot like the other animated movies I’ve watched recently. I was right. But, it was still entertaining.
The movie, which centers around a bear who was raised by humans but …
The Great St Trinians Train Robbery - Film 1966
We are not talking your recent remake here - we are talking vintage St Trinians and the Great St Trinians Train Robbery was the only one of the original four to be made in colour. In the 1960’s this was something quite new and it has been said by …
James Bond Casino Royale Movie
The movie James Bond Casino Royale is the best Bond movie I have seen. The action is amazing, but it also has an engaging, exciting plot. The action is shot and acted in a way that you really feel scared for the characters. It is never …
Fright Night movie
I first time I saw this movie was some time ago on the Syfy channel. I didn’t see it from the very very start, but when I started watching it, the movie was still in its early stages. At first I didn’t expect anything much from it, and thought …
Hannibal Rising
This film is a prequel to Red Dragon, Silence Of The Lambs, and Hannibal, based on the book by Thomas Harris. The film starts slow, and never picks up the pace, focusing all on a young Hannibal in his teens living with his aunt. The movie is full of …

Movie Click
This movie is told a lot of things about life. The genre of this movie is drama-comedy I think. In this movie, Adam Sandler plays as a Dad and a husband who loves his family but he wanna get instant in his career. Because of that he work so …
