Resident Evil 3: Extinction
Ok. Why does it some like most movies nowadays focus on destroying the world? Well, Resident Evil Extinction presents a barren wasteland of a world, taking place mostly in the desert and Las Vegas. Alice does mildly explain the bare bones …
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a nice comedy movie. The movie stars Uma Thurman, Anna Faris and Luke Wilson in the lead roles. Though the movie is entertaining and enjoyable, it some times gets boring and illogical. Even if we accept the fact that Uma is a super girl, we …
Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
“Ernest Scared Stupid” (1991 Film)
Many people are familiar with the Ernest films. Each of them are themed differently but revolve around a loveable and child-like man who can be clumsy at times but becomes everyone’s friend and sometimes hero by the time the film is over. Not to mention he makes me laugh …
The Notebook movie
This movie is based on a novel written by Nicholas Sparks. It stars Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands.
For a movie that is such high romance, it’s difficult to find two people who have enough chemistry on film to pull off the kind …
Oklahoma musical
Oklahoma is a sprawling musical that has the most beautiful scenery. The opening with Curly riding along through the fields and singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning is a smiler. They don’t make movies like this anymore, and that’s a tragedy.
Gordon MacRae is brilliant as Curly, the …
The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
In the Mix Movie
At the time this movie was being filmed, I was absolutely obsessed with Usher Raymond and he was one of the main characters. Every time the movie trailer came on, I watched it as if it was the first time I had watched it. I was literally counting down …
The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is a very fine psychological thriller/horror movie. The movie, which is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is a wide hit across the world. The movie has Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette playing the pivotal roles and the best thing about the movie is …
Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …
The Yes Man
I saw the preview for this movie and I thought it could be good, I like Jim Carrey as a comedian. It was really funny, almost as funny as Bruce almighty. Carl (played by Jim Carrey) is a man that never says yes to anything, he likes to avoid …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …
Gidget Goes to Rome movie
The third Gidget movie was entitled Gidget Goes to Rome. It marks the last time that James Darren would appear as the very handsome and ‘oh, I’m swooning’ when I see him, Moondoggie. He was happy to move on from the character, though he understands its place …
Rise of the Guardians (movie)
Rise of the Guardians is an 2012 animation, adventure and family movie directed by Peter Ramsay who didn’t had much experience in directing animation movies as it was his first animation movie. Previously he directed “Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space” short Tv show. The …
Wicked Little Things (R, 2006) movie
Wicked Little Things is a film very much like all the other horror thrillers wherein a family moves to a remote location in the wilderness in order to escape some kind of social threat. At any rate, this family of three moves into a home where …
Matilda
That’s a fantastic film for people who are fond of telekinesis powers and adventure. Matilda is a amazing girl and she possesses a special gift which can let her move objects with the power of mind (telekinesis). She discovers it when her dad starts to scream with her and …

This episosde was pretty good for the typical monster-of-the-week …
The Simpsons Movie
I remember when I saw the trailer for this movie. I just had to see it. I mean the Simpsons…one of the most popular cartoon shows out there and it’s been around so long it was about time they made a movie.
I got to admit the movie started in …
Stargate SG-1 Continuum
The latest effort from the Stargate SG-1 camp is a direct to DVD movie called Stargate Continuum. Along with the regulars from the final season of the SG-1 television series, Richard Dean Anderson returned.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie, though oddly enough, I prefer SG-1’s first direct to DVD …

Soul Survivors (movie)
When I came across the movie Soul Survivors in the Wal-mart clearance aisle, I had a faint memory of watching it at some point but couldn�t remember much about it. Normally, this tells me it isn�t a memorable movie, but because it was only $5 and had Eliza Dushku …
Happy Feet (2006)
This movie is absolutely adorable. I can watch it several times without getting bored. The colors are wonderful, the artists and artistic directors of this movie did an amazing job putting everything together and making everything believable. What’s amazing is the entire movie was created on computers in Australia(little …
Film Sherlock Holmes [2009]
Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …
Paris When It Sizzles: A film by Richard Quine (1964)
In my fascination to the whole 60’s period, there couldn’t be a more concrete illustration of what it’s like to live in those days, other than movies created at that time. My own definition of a good time spent in front of the screen —“ is a combination …
The West Wing Final Season
This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …
Mr. Wrong movie
On Friday evening my family and I were waiting for my mother to get to my grandmother’s house after she was finished at the hair dresser, so what I did to kill time was watch a little television. That was how I saw the movie “Mr. Wrong” on the …
The Benchwarmers
What do you get when there are combination acting by Jon Heder, Rob Schneider and David Spade? You get total hilarious and out of this world type of laughs.
Perhaps there are people thinking that this is a dumb movie but I really love this when it was …
Movie: Transformers
I recently watched “Transformers”, the new live action and computer animated flick based on the cartoon from the mid 1980’s. Wow.
Having been a fan of ‘Transformers’ as a child, I had really high expectations for the film. Every single expectation I had was met and exceeded! Right down …
Movie: Executive Decision
I was at my parent’s house yesterday afternoon having dinner with them and my dad was watching some movies. Since it was too loud in their kitchen, I decided to join him and ended up seeing the film Executive Decision; a movie I have seen in the past but …
After Dark Horror Fest: Borderland
Borderland is a bad movie, plain and simple. I can usually find some redeeming qualities in a movie, but this isn’t one of them. I think the real problem is that it was released as one of the films in the After Dark Horror Fest, but it isn’t a …
Redbox DVD Rental
I rent from the kiosk machine Redbox. It is conveniently located in a lot of grocery stores, gas stations, and some drug stores. I was previously renting from a movie rental store and would often get aggravated when I would turn in the movie a day late and would …
Go movie
I didn’t hear about the movie “Go” until some time ago when I was still in high school. At first I thought it was just going to be a silly movie so I didn;t watch it at the time, but about a year and a half later I was …
Tom and Jerry the Movie
My daughter is currently watching Tom and Jerry the Movie for the second time tonight. While she seems to enjoy the movie (which is probably the only thing that matters), I have to say I’m not a huge fan of it.
Overall, it isn’t a terrible movie, the cat and …
Back to the Future DVD(the Trilogy)
This specifis DVD collection of “Back to the Future” is great. It coinsides with the all of the memories that were created in making the series. Back to the Future 1 is the ultimate best. Micheal J Fox and Christppher Floyd (as DOC) are the two …
Earth: movie
This is, and hold on to your chair, my absolute favorite film of all time. I just wanted to clear that out before anything else. As I am a fan of cinema, that is the visual element before anything, the basic story in Earth isn’t really that interesting. Of …
Movie Toy Story
Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …
One Fine Day
One Fine Day starring George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the finest romantic comedy movies I have ever seen The movie is a very well directed movie with great performances by the lead couple. Michelle Pfeiffer should be given a special mention here. She is so perfect …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …
Priceless
Remember the actress Audrey Tautou..? Well, if you want to refresh your memory, do watch Priceless for a good night-in of DVD rounds. I watched this just yesterday and this is what I have to say: definitely a movie that is super worth it for the die-hard romantics …
Return of the Rebels movie
Return of the Rebels is a made-for-TV movie that I loved to watch back in the day. It was one of those fun films that was showed repeatedly during a pre-cable era. It stars Barbara Eden and Don Murray, and something about it just appealed to me …
The First Wives Club
This is probably one of the most hilarious movies I’ve ever watched. I just love Goldie Hawn and how she portrays the part of a nonsensical washed out actress. I could almost relate to Beth Midler and her insatiable appetite for food and sarcasm. Now, as for Diane Keaton, …
Cabin in the Sky-film
Cabin in the Sky is a 1943 all African American musical based on a Broadway musical production that premiered in 1940.The main plot concerns a young man Little Joe. He is killed over gambling debts .he is given 6 months by the general of heaven to redeem himself …
The Proposal movie
I am reviewing the 2009 movie, The Proposal, starting Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Betty White.
The plot to this movie is quite simple. Sandra Bullock plays a mean, severely unlikeable boss, who, when threatened with deportation, blackmails her assistant into pretending that they are married. There’s only …
Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …
The Spiderwick Chronicles
When my roommate rented this, I was expecting another Eragon, an unoriginal fantasy that rehashes the same elements that we’ve seen before. The fact that this movie was brought to us by the same studio that gave us “Good Burger” did nothing to squelch my fear that we …
The Duchess
This is one historical movie that I found very fascinating even though it was a drama. It stars Kierra Knightly (Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean) and she does an expert job of playing the lead role of the Duchess. To make matters even more interesting, the story …
