The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …
The Brother’s Grimm (2005)
This movie is one of my favorites from the late young actor Heath Ledger. In fact, thinking about it now I’m not sure which one of his movies I didn’t like. Nevertheless one of the reasons why I liked this movie was because it appealed to the …
Gwoemul
Well, we all know that disposing of toxic chemicals into major water supplies is bad, right kiddies? Not so in this story, which leads to some largely predictable consequences.
When an employee in a top-secret military facility dumps a load of formaldehyde and other chemical nasties down the drain, a …
Holiday in Handcuffs (2007 Film)
“Holiday in Handcuffs” was a 2007 film that, while it was festive for the holiday season, it did not really wow me as I had hoped that it would. I don’t want to say that this film was a complete dud, and that I didn’t enjoy watching it, it …
Millionaire’s First Love
I have watched a very touching Korean movie that I think is worth a good review. The title is A Millionaire’s First Love. The movie started out really funny but ended really sad. The twist of the movie was cool and that it was really worth the time, I …
Surviving Desire movie
Inventive independent filmmaker Hal Hartley here gives us a story focused around lonely people who try their best not the appear lonely. A young girl who works at the local library falls in love with a young man who comes there to visit.
A rather simple story that doesn’t have …
The Kingdom Movie
Not knowing anything about the movie The Kingdom, I added it to my Netflix queue. I figured since it starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Copper it would probably be a decent movie. Right from the very beginning of the movie it was very action involved. The movie …
Murder Once Removed movie
Murder Once Removed is a murder mystery movie, as might seem obvious, that starred John Forsythe as the handsome physician, Ron Wellesley. He’s known to be a ladies man, but at least one man, Frank Manning (Richard Kiley) believes that Wellesley is a murderer. In fact, Manning …

From Russia with Love movie
The second 007 film shows Sean Connery again as the british super agent. This time he goes to Russia to fight the dangerous SPECTRE organisation, and of course meets a few women while he’s there.
From Russia with Love has a very similar pace and structure as the first film …

Gormenghast Movie
A very unusual british film about a noble family in a state of crisis. Gormenghast is the name of their enormous mansion. It’s a more artsy kind of film than I had first expected, with long takes and innovative camerawork. It also has some interesting aspects in the mood …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
Movie: Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Synopsis: Tokyo Japan is under attack by a previously extinct dinosaur that is awakened by the H-Bomb and is now looking to destroy the city.
What I liked about this movie: Godzilla is one of the all-time classic monsters and even my 5-year-old knew who he was before even seeing …
Ouija (2014 Film)
Ouija was another one of those scary movies that was released closer to Halloween. Mostly with the intentions of keeping up with the spirit of scares. I was initially skeptic in the beginning when viewing the trailer one evening on TV. In my mind I had already …
THE END OF THE TOUR, movie (2015)
In 1996 the novel The Infinite Jest was published, ranked by Time magazine as one of the hundred best English-language novels of the twentieth century. Its author, David Foster Wallace, becomes a rock star of the literary world, encroaching on what is most sacred, on the very foundation of consumer …
Storm over Asia movie
In this epic montage film by Pudovkin, the story of mongolian warlord Djenghis Khan is told, or rather, the last days of Djengis Khan. It’s a very complex and sometimes confusing story, but Pudovkin really found and perfected his visual with this work of art. The style these montage …
NetFlix
What a pain having to go all the way to the video store and walk around forever finding what you want. For a long time I didn’t even go out and rent movies because it was just too much of a hassle. Also I hated the restrictions of how …
The King’s Speech movie
Have you ever stepped up to give a presentation, whether it be for a school project or a presentation for your job, and then your words just fail you? You go up there and your mind just goes blank and time begins to expand right before your eyes, seconds …
The Dark Knight
After the 90s came and went and the Batman movie series continued its steady decline at the dismay of true fans, I figured I might as well forget seeing a better Batman than Michael Keaton, a better villain than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, or a better director than …
Haunter (horror movie)
I’m a horror fan who likes my weekly dose of horror movies, especially when I’m in a particular mood and I feel like chilling out. I generally don’t gravitate to C and D-rated horror movies or even those of a certain genre, but there are times when I’m so …
Roman Polanski’s The Tenant
‘The Tenant’ is a classic study of insanity. Made and released in 1976, directed by Roman Polanski, it tells the story of a young lonely man, named Trelkovsky an immigrant from Poland, who moves in to a new apartment in an old residential building. It turns out that the …
The Kindred horror film
I’d always wanted to see the horror film The Kindred. It was primarily because I’d seen the ad for it in the newspaper when I was a little girl. I thought it looked properly creepy. It said something about someone having a brother they didn’t know about, and it …
Death Note
I love Asian movies; I liked mostly the horror movies, the likes of “The Shutter, “The Eye”, among others. It was just recently that my brother has downloaded an anime series called the death note. It was a bit long, too long for me to actually sit down and …

The movie Twilight part one
The first Twilight movie sucked big time and there are so many reasons as to why this movie was just plain awful and the first reason would be the actors, because the actors who played ion Twilight really did a very bad job and didn’t bring any of the …
My Sister’s Keeper movie

Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)
Last night I watched Dumbo with my wife and 3 year old girl on the TV and I can’t tell you which one of the three enjoyed the movie the most. It’s a charming movie with the right doses of humor that just appeals to the whole family.
Dumbo is …

Taken Movie
I watched Taken for how many times now and this movie never fails to give me excitement. It stars Liam Neeson as the father of a girl that was kidnapped in Paris by Albanians. The story not only pure action and little drama, it also gives lesson for other …
The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer
The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer is a sweet movie that won the Academy Award for Best Writing, Original Screenplay by Sidney Sheldon. The man is a phenomenal writer, and it obviously showed in this motion picture. It’s full of charm and wit.
The phenomenal Shirley Temple plays a …
Ghost Town 2008 movie
Ghost Town is one of those movies where the story is so familiar that you already know what is going to have even if you are only given a little bit of the plot. (I found this with Avatar as well). I mean, this is such a common plot …
Nightmare on Elm Street 4

Lisa Wilcox (Alic), Andras Jones (Rick), Tuesday Knight (Kristen), Rodney Eastman (Joey), Ken Sagoes (Kincaid), Danny Hassel (Dan)
Well, they managed to resurrect Freddy Krueger —“ the directors and producers have to, else they could not continue to make money from this horror legend.
From the previous movie, the remaining dream …
The Remains of the Day
I am so glad I have found this treasure of a movie. A forgotten treasure, unfortunately; I have never heard of it before, neither have I heard other people mention it. I hope this review will help to draw much deserved attention to this thoughtful, well-acted, well-paced production. I …
Aguirre,The Wrath of God movie
Aguirre is a film by the german visual master Werner Herzog, and features the astonishing actor Klaus Kinski in one of his major roles. The story is about the explorer Aguirre and his team a couple of hundred years ago who went to South America along the Amazon river …
Lt. Robin Crusoe USN
This is not one of Disney’s most well acclaimed live action films to emerge from the 1960’s. Most critics pretty well abhor it, though, suprisingly, it was one of the most popular films from the year it was released.
Disney favorite Dick Van Dyke stars as Robin Crusoe a navy …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (movie)
“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” came out back when I was still in high school. I heard the name mentioned a couple of times, but I never actually took the time out to either search for what it was about or even watch the trailer. I remember one or two …
Dallas Buyers Club, movie
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is living to its expectations. I’ve just finished watching the powerful story about a subject often considered delicate.
And who would have thought that Matthew McConaughey, the buffed blond playboy with southern accent, will be the man to make …
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger movie
I would not want to tell you what happens in the film, perhaps only roughly. Same thing happened when I saw Closer, we concluded that the story is too good to tell everybody what happens.
The story is fairly complex because it follows the fates of several couples, old age …
D.E.B.S (2004)
Chick flick alert! This movie is centered around for basically cheerleading girls who, through a secret test in their school passed to become a group of spies. The test itself is designed to test the candidates’ abilities to fight, lie, cheat and kill. Needless to say, these four passed …
Koizora (Sky of Love)
Koizora (Sky of Love) is the portrayal of unrealistic youthful love. What started as a sweet and innocent relationship between two Japanese high school students ends up in a chaos of conflicts only meant to happen in movies. Now, this negative perspective only occurs since the movie is …
Anger Management movie
Anger Management. I knew of the movie, had no interest in seeing it. Jack Nicholson stooping down so low as to star in a movie with Adam “Billy Madison Boy” Sandler. Not for me.
So, now long after I think this movie is ancient history, I turn …
The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …
Enemy Mine (1985)
I love this movie not only because the actors are great but also the theme is fascinating. Aliens.
This movie though features only one type of fictional aliens, the reptilian like creatures that somehow resembles humans but only wearing a thick scaly skin and a tail of a dinosaur …
Megiddo: The Omega Code 2
If you’re the kind that likes to watch TBN and laugh at just how insane and silly these people really are, then you will probably enjoy Megiddo: The Omega Code 2. Although it proclaims itself as a sequel to the Omega Code, it isn’t really a sequel (although …
