The Accidental Spy (movie)
This is another Jackie Chan movie that I had watched some time recently, and possibly might have seen one time before. Even though I had heard about it, I had never really paid it much attention until very recently. It is one of his late movies too that was …
Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …

Before listening to others opinions and reading reviews of the movie, I freed my mind from everything that could have stopped me from enjoying this movie. I walked into the theater with unbiased mind, hoping the best. I had been waiting for the release dates of this movie from …
The Movie Sleepy Hollow
When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Movie 12 Monkeys
12 Monkeys is a science fiction movie directed by Terry Gilliam and written by David and Janet Peoples. It was released on December 29, 1995 with a total worldwide gross of $168 million. This is a nice time travel movie involving schizophrenia and saving mankind.

How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (3D)
I loved Transformers: Dark of the Moon! I thought it should be pretty cool in 3D. I was right! It impressed me right away, literally within the first minute or two. Then it kept getting better throughout the movie.
I wasn’t sure how I would like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for …
House on Haunted Hill Movie
The original House on Haunted Hill was a movie that I’ve wanted to see for a long time. I’m actually a big fan of the remake and I think Vincent Price was a phenomenal actor, but I just never got around to seeing the original movie. The original has …

Movie National Treasure
I thought that this movie looked like a cool movie when I got it, so I sat down and watched it right away, and I really liked it. It is not my favorite movie, but it is pretty interesting and is a fun movie to watch with other people …
Movie: “Bride Wars”
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star in this lackluster, predictable comedy in which best friends become enemies when they accidentally book their weddings on the same date. Determined to upstage each other, they pull all kinds of unpleasant tricks to try and ruin the other’s wedding.
I had several issues …
Big film
“Big” is a classic 1988 movie starring Tom Hanks. It really elevated Hanks to stardom as an everyman who most people can relate to. Looking back on it now, there are some weak plot points, but the movie also has some iconic scenes that one will not …

This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …

Hannah Montana 3D Movie

Enemy of the State movie
I had always heard about the movie “Enemy of the State” but I had not watched it until a couple weeks ago when I saw the movie being aired on one of my relatives cable television channels. I think the reason why I ignored it at first was probably …
RV (Robin Williams) movie
When RV came out at the theaters, I avoided it like the plague. I like Robin Williams but I have been very disappointed by his comedies in the past.
After seeing it on DVD this past weekend, I was sorry it took me so long to see it.
I was always …
Alligator (1980)
I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …
Girl Positive (movie)
As I mentioned previously I love watching some Lifetime movies even though a lot of them aren’t necessarily up to par when it comes to acting, writing and directing. Even the storylines at time don’t even add up. However, when I watched the movie “Girl, Positive”, it was definitely …

Cheers for Miss Bishop movie
Cheers for Miss Bishop is a classic film from 1941 which starred Martha Scott in the title role of Ella Bishop. My problem, and pretty much my only problem, is that while the makeup was good, it didn’t quite hook me. We see Scott transform from a …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …
Movie Surf’s Up
I have always loved a good kid’s animation, but this movie really re-defines the lines in animation. Surf’s Up had amazing graphics, great animation and detail, a great storyline, and a whole lot of good, clean humor. This is probably one of the best kids (and adult’s!) movies of …
Click

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
With the previous entry in the series (Dead Man’s Chest) boasting a controversial cliffhanger of an ending, fans who saw Dead Man’s Chest were no doubt clamoring for the epic finale to the trilogy after walking out of the theater one year ago. Indeed, for me it was a …
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
OK, maybe it’s because I’m a guy, but I just can’t understand the attraction of a movie about four girls who form a club based on a pair of blue jeans that happen to fit all of them.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is the definition of “Chick Flick.” …
Altered
I first watched this low budget movie, Altered during the year 2006. A bunch of friends had managed to return safely to their hometown but all’s not that well actually because one of them was ‘retained’ by the aliens since they chose only 1 out of them all.
I think …
Toy Story 3 (2011 Film)
Who hasn’t fallen in love with those loveable toys in Andy’s room that came to life and embarked on various adventures? Yes, I am talking about Toy Story, but not just any Toy Story, I’m talking about “Toy Story 3″. At first, I felt this film may not do …
Paranormal Activity movie
As Paranormal Activity 2 is coming out soon, I thought it was time to sit down and write a review over the first film. Surely everyone by now has been given one opinion or another; this movie is absolutely terrifying and believable or it’s about as scary as an …

The film takes place in 1948 when apparently magic is used by more or less every human being alive. When a book called “The Necronomicon” is stolen, the only one who doesn’t use magic is called in the retrieve it.
