Movies Reviews
Movie The Whole Nine Yards
I asked a few people I know if they liked this comedy film, but some of them said it was corny and silly even though I can remember that when I watched it, I thought it was one of the most hilarious comedy films I had ever watched. I …
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)
The sequel to Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo takes Deuce to Europe to look for his good friend and pimp TJ, while there, it comes to their attention that some one is going around and killing all of the male prostitutes in Europe. Deuce encounters a lot of hostility as …
Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …
Sherlock Holmes (Movie)
I had high expectations when I rented Sherlock Holmes on DVD the other day, mainly because of my high regard for Robert Downey Jr.’s amazing acting skills and his recent choice of movies to star in. I also like Guy Ritchie’s movies, so when we sat down to watch …
The Missing movie
The Missing is a movie about a family reconnecting and saving one member of the family from prostitution. The actors in this movie are Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett, and Evan Rachael Wood. One of the best things about this movie is that it has great characters/actors. Another thing …
Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …
The Saw movies
Oh how I loathe these movies. My fiance takes me to them every time they come out on the big screen and I just HATE them. I don’t think there’s really any acting in it. Anyone can ‘act’ in a horror movie. I mean anyone. I just don’t get …
The Bonfire Of The Vanities Movie
After reading the book The Bonfire Of The Vanities by Tom Wolfe, I was eager to see the film adaptation. However after watching it I wish I never bothered. The book describes the racial tension of New York in the 1980s and …
Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …
Predators, Movie (2010)
After ‘Scream 4′ and ‘Apollo 18′ my cinematic palate needed cleansing. Fortunately, ‘Predators’ delivered just what I was hoping for. It’s especially impressive as sequels and follow ups to the original classic haven’t fared very well.
Unlike a lot of franchise relaunches, this doesn’t reboot or retcon anything. …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 3
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood’s third episode may feel very nostalgic to viewers who watched the first Fullmetal Alchemist series. The Elric Brothers are in the town of Liore, investigating Father Cornello and his “miraculous works” that he performs with what appears to be a Philosopher’s Stone, the legendary amplifier …
On the Town musical
Another great musical that I truly love to watch is On the Town. It’s very upbeat and all about love. It’s highly entertaining, with songs that make you want to sing along with them.
The story of On the Town is pretty basic. It’s three sailors on …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 9
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 9 starts with a recap and then Ed being reprimanded by Maria Ross for rushing into Lab 5 without them. After the lecture Ed calls Winry in Risembool and asks her to come service his automail after she discovers she forgot to put a …
Hannah Montana 3D Movie
Before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter kept saying she wanted Hannah Montana tickets. Well, that was something that wasn’t going to happen, so I thought. There were no concerts coming to our area and even if there were, I heard tickets were almost impossible to get. …
The Hole movie
It was my friend who actually recommended the horror film called “The Hole” to me some time ago. The person didn’t tell me much about it either since I don’t like to be told much about movies before I watch them; but nevertheless, based upon how they described it, …
Swordfish movie
Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …
MacArthur film
I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …
The Cabin in the Woods (2012 film)
Just hours ago I watched The Cabin in the Woods with my sister who entreated for my company. I obliged to go see the movie because of the things I had read in highbrow film periodicals that made me curious. I probably would have viewed a different …
Ocean 11, 12 and 13
There is simply one word that describes best the Ocean series great movies. These movies have got a good mixture of story telling combined with action and romance. I must also add that it has a great cast of actors such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt and …
Howard the Duck-movie
I recently watched a film called Howard the Duck. It is essentially about an alien duck named Howard that accidentally gets pulled down to earth from his home planet duck world which is inhabited by other duck like creatures. Howard eventually encounters a woman, a rock star named Beverly. …
Movie Martian Child
This was a really good movie. John Cusack does an amazing job in it. He adopts this little boy who tells everyone he is from “red planet”. All of the actors do a really good job in it. The movie kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. There are …
Walk Don’t Run movie
One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER DVD
We’ve been trying for a month to rent Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer, but, it is always out. So, we finally bought one for our grandsons to watch, as they spent the night. It is truly adorable, with Whoopie Goldberg’s voice being the wicked witch, Stormella, and with the …

Inception movie
Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …
The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back(1980) directed by Irvin Kershner and produced by George Lucas is an example of one of the finest science fiction films made in the 1980s and of any era. Due to the fact that the other films were released, they all did something which was quite …
Ice Age (The Movie)
I loved this movie so much because it was funny and very touching. Who would have thought that prehistoric animals could have made me get in touch with my softer side? The plot consists of a wooly mammoth, a saber tooth tiger and wonderful sloth named Sid. Each …
Around the World in Eighty Days movie
The classic story by Jules Verne about a an english adventurer who takes a bet of him travelling around all the world in as little as 80 days (which was very, very little once). This version of the story has been hailed as the best one, but I can’t …

Movie: Psycho Ward
Synopsis: A professor brings a documentary crew to an abandoned insane asylum to make a film about illegal experiments he suspected were conducted there. However, they soon find themselves trapped inside the building and hunted down one by one.
What I liked about this movie: At least for the first …
Movie Curse of the Devil 1972
Why would you make a werewolf movie with a title that evokes an Exorcist rip-off?
More Waldemar the Werewolf fun has Paul Naschy once again donning the furry costume to bring mayhem on the villagers. Only this time, it is a pretty tired exercise that misses the fun and wacky …
Captain Planet cartoon
“Captain Planet” was a cartoon which would be aired sometimes on weekday afternoons when I was still a child. I did not necessarily love the show, but I appreciated it a little since it was better than watching the children’s show “Sesame Street” which I had outgrown before I …
Paranormal Activity (2009 film)
This is one of those love it or hate it movies. I don’t think there is anyone who came away from this with a middle of the road reception. I myself could’ve gone either way as many of the reviews I heard were “it’s really good, it’s …
A Christmas Carol 3D (Movie, 2009)
“A Christmas Carol 3D” stars Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge. He also did the voices of all three of the Ghosts of Christmas. A movie of “A Christmas Carol” has been done to death. It seems almost every year, there’s another adaption of Charles Dickens’s famous novel. So, I …
The Aviator, movie
You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …
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 …
Shrek the Third (2007)
Shrek the Third, directed by Chris Miller and Raman Hui is rated PG bythe Motion Picture Association of America for some crude humor, suggestive content and swashbuckling action. The original release date was May 18, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Adventure/Comedy/Family/Fantasy and …
Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone
This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …
The Dark Knight Rises film
The Dark Knight Rises is a good film! A really good film! Sure, there are a few problems with it but nothing there that really ruins this masterpiece!
The only thing you need to be aware of is that there is less Batman than in the Dark Knight because it …

Based on true life events, this movie portrays the events that followed a tragic plane crash that killed tho entire football team, coaches and players of Marshall …
Superman II
The script for Superman II was written at the same time as the first movie. Even the filming was done nearly at the same time. The director of Superman, The Movie had completed seventy-five percent of the sequel, but tension between Richard Donner and the producers of both films …
American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
The Dictator (movie)
The Dictator is a 2012 comedy movie directed by Larry Charles. Sacha Baron Cohen was casted as the main charm of the movie as Aladdin. I only watched him once in Hugo where he was playing the role of a station inspector. A lot of time was passed since I …
Mirrors
I was expecting a bit more of a thriller in the movie “Mirrors”; it was a good movie, good sequence and the build up of the story is quite convincing. The story is very nice until, of course towards the end where it gets to be confusing and a …
Megafault movie
In honor of the late Brittany Murphy, my wife and I took the time to watch some of her movies that were available through Netflix Instant Watch; mostly because I didn’t want to bother sending for DVDs and waiting for them through the mail.
One of these movies was entitled …
The Spirit movie
I remember ive seen the commercial for “The Spirit” on television but never got to see it in the theaters. So I decided to pick it up on Bluray this week. This movie is about the city hero Spirit who is protecting it from an evil guy called Octopus. …
Little Miss Sunshine
Typically I wait until after the Oscars have passed to start diving into the nominated (and winning) films. Little Miss Sunshine is a movie packed with an inviting cast and some pretty hilarious dialogue. Following a family on their quest to enter their daughter in the …
The King’s Speech (2010 film)
Of the few titles that emerged from the oscar nominations, I highly favor “The King’s Speech.” It is my favorite. I’ve been watching movies in my free time, and it gave me a timely opportunity to watch the movies nominated at the academy awards. The King’s …
