Taken (Movie)
This movie is an absolute fantastic one! It has a very simple plot which made me think it was too boring and way too ordinary, but when my friends and family urged me to watch this I finally did and was so awed with Liam Neeson here! The movie …

Blast from the Past
Today was the first time in a couple of years that I’ve seen the movie Blast from the Past. And, you know what, it still is kind of a cute film.
Brendan Fraser is extremely funny in this movie. He plays a man who is born in the 1960s in …
The Pagemaster
This movie is so much fun! It was made in 1994 and stars Christopher Lloyd and Macaulay Culkin, with other well known actors lending their voices and talents to the film, including Whoopi Goldberg.
When the movie begins and ends, it’s live action. But, for the …
The Dark Knight
I have seen The Dark Knight, the latest Batman film twice now, and I can honestly say that I ‘know’ the movie.
The Dark Knight is, in my opinion, the best of all the Batman films. It has the most intricate plot, and it has Heath Ledger, who is …
3 Days to Kill (movie)
I was a little surprised that I didn’t hear anything about the movie “3 Days to Kill” until after it was released on Blu-ray some time later. I decided to take the movie home and watch it since it looked like it might have a fairly good plot, and …

Enchanted movie
I watched this movie with my sister recently. Overall it was an alright movie, we both got bored and uninterested in the movie. I feel like it dragged on forever and was way too long. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie that she liked. My …
Disney Fan Created DVD’s

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. …
Blade Trinity movie
Just when you think they could not do better than the original and the sequel…they came out with Trinity…BAD IDEA. It’s nice that they wanted to bring the first, the original vampire into the mix of things, but, they did a real terrible job with his portayal. Dracula (Drake) …

Animusic 2
Are you ready for ‘Fantsia’ for the new generation? Then you need to check out Animusic 2. It is a compilation of music set to computer animated ‘droids’ playing the ‘instruments’.

Apocalypto (spoilers)
Apocalypto must be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year. The problem is, it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing towards the end of the film. It just was too much, by that time.
First off, the …
The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …
Dazed and Confused movie
Over the years, I have seen a lot of these types of films, and yet, I think one of the best coming of age movies was the film “Dazed and Confused” which was released in nineteen ninety three. At first, I used to wonder what the name of the …

Beastmaster movie
Whenever I watch Beastmaster, I can understand why it’s a movie that has been shown on television as much as it has.
Marc Singer puts on a very good performance as Dar, a man who is seeks revenge against the evil priest who slaughtered his entire family at the beginning …
Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( Movie )

After being transported to …
Cabin in The Woods movie
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I decided it was time to start watching (and reviewing) some horror films! A recent, and extremely well-reviewed “horror film” that I missed in theaters so decided to rent was “Cabin in the Woods”. A family member of mine recommended it, and …
The Cutting Edge
I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can recite some of the dialogues already. The Cutting Edge is actually one of my most favorite romantic movies of all time. I never get tired of watching
it. It’s a story about a young and talented hockey player, Doug, (D.B. …
Righteous Kill
I highly recommend this movie. Robert de Nero and Al Pacino play in it together. Both are great in the movie, they grab your attention and don’t let it go. You have to pay attention to the movie to really understand what was going on. The other actors in …
Problem Child (1990)
Problem Child, taken from the pages of a comic book and tv series and tossed unto the silver screen with hopes of getting a hugh payday. This movie was a disaster from the very first time time it was even considered as being put into production for a feature …
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie
I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …
The Trojan War movie
When I first read the description for the Trojan War I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. In fact, the only reason I even decided to watch it is it was too early to go to bed and there was nothing else on.
After watching it, I …
Australia Movie
The movie lasted almost 3 hours. The reason why I watched this in silver screen is the because of Baz Lhurman. I was entertained with Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge. I have been eager to go to Australia as well. I thought this movie had a historical …
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …
Jason Goes to Hell (Rated Version)
Jason Goes to Hell is the ninth, and supposedly last movie in the Friday the 13th series of horror movies. The movie itself has been panned by fans because it completely disregards the other movies. In this one we are led to believe that Jason isn’t the ordinary man …
Side Effects (movie)
Side Effects was one of those movies that I didn’t watch because of how if was apparently received by quite a number of people. It didn’t even get a great rating on it’s IMDB page and so I just left it or ignored it till I eventually forgot about it. …
“Fanboys” Motion Picture
I did enjoy this movie which shocked me. I am not a fan of comic books, nerds, star wars etc which is the main target audience for this film but I saw a preview for it and it looked funny. About 20 minutes in I almost turned …

“Mean Creek” (R, 2004) movie
I was really interested in seeing this film at first. It looked like there was a good deal of intrigue. And I liked the idea of Rory Culkin being in the film. This young man has quite a presence on camera, being at once introspective …
Motherhood Motion Picture
I have enjoyed many of Uma Thurman’s movies over the years but this was sadly not one of her better ones. I had read negative reviews about this movie before I watched it and they were right. The acting and directing in this script were great. …

Open Season
This movie, more or less, is a buddy film, reminiscent of The Emperor’s New Groove. It is not so much a story of survival, as both animals are in their elements. Even though Boog is a fat, pampered, domesticated animal, none of the other animals in the forest are …
The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …
My Cousin Vinny movie

Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …
Fooly Cooly
I recently sat down and watched fooly cooly. Although i did not understand most of it because of its comically vague story line. The anime has a high level of animation quality and an awesome soundtrack that fits perfectly to the action of the series. Although Watching once you …

Staying Alive movie
I only just saw Staying Alive for the first time recently. I haven’t even seen Saturday Night Fever all the way through. I’ve only seen pieces of it. The stories never intrigued me, but I did wonder a lot about Finola Hughes, who I’ve met at …
Let sleeping corpses lie movie
Italian director Jorge Grau’s unsettling British based zombie movie is one of the most chilling zombie movies in the genre, due to the fusion of horror styles the director incorporates in the film. Grau supplied the blood and guts excessiveness that defined the underground extreme Italian style splatter fests, …
Chocolat
Remember the movie Chocolat? I would have to say that this was one of my most favorite movies during the early millenium period. Starring Juliette Binoche (nice name), Alfred Molina, Judi Dench and other cast, this movie is a success. The storyline goes roughly around the main …
