Movies Reviews
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
Still Alice (drama movie)
I was a little hesitant to watch the movie “Still Alice” because I thought that a story about someone experiencing early onset Alzheimer’s Disease was bound to be too frightening and depressing for me. The idea of losing myself and my memory especially at a young age is one of …
Fullmetal Alcehmist: Brotherhood Episode 34
Fullmetal Alchemist; Brotherhood Episode 34 has Ed and Al in Fort Briggs talking to Olivier Milla Armstrong, they tell her about their quest to get their bodies back without mentioning anything about Father, Fuehrer Bradley or the Homunculi. She suspects they’re hiding something from her and puts them …
Movie Cold Mountain
This is a amazing movie. Every one did an amazing job acting. I don’t think that they could have done a better job acting or directing this movie. I loved it and if you haven’t seen it yet you should. Renee Zellweger plays in it and I liked her …
17 Again movie
The choice of actor Zack Efron to do the movie ‘17 Again’ really caught me by surprise. After finish working on the last movie of ‘High School Musical’, Efron declared that he wanted to work on movies with far more challenging roles. In all honestly, I found that there …
Disturbia movie
My cable company is giving us the movie channels for the weekend for free. So I have been watching movies on them lately, at least the ones I haven’t seen already. I was going to watch disturbia when it came out and then I totally forgot about it and …
Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …
A Little Princess Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I was just flipping through the channels and found this strange little movie on HBO. I sat and watched the whole movie, just on a whim. It turned out to be a cute little movie. A sad but uplifting story of a …
FRIENDS TV show
I am watching “FRIENDS” for more than 10 years now,and I just love this show,every day it seems like new.I never missed any show of it.It is a true story of common friends,and a common problems.I like all the characters of Friends,like Joey is very stupid,but he makes me …
Fever Lake (1996) movie
Fever Lake is a horror movie that stars Corey Haim, Bo Hopkins and Mario Lopez. It’s what most people refer to as a ’slasher’ or ‘killer thriller’. Normally I prefer scary animal movies, but I decided to watch this one as I found it on the shelf of my …
Bruce Almighty (2003)
This is a ludicrous comedy from the outside but a heresy from the inside. Many Christians who are adept with the Biblical principles will definitely not agree with some ideas presented in this movie concerning God and his being. I admit some scenes here are really funny like when …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
Disney’s Aladdin movie (1992)
Aladdin was part of the series of Disney films that I love so much. It was part of the series of films that Disney made with its come back during the 1980s and 1990s. I had not read the story Aladdin was …
Shakespeare in Love (romance drama movie)
Back in the late nineties and early 2000s, I remember that one of the most talked about movies was one named “Shakespeare in Love”. I remember even though I was still very young back then, they hype made me curious to watch the movie. However, I finally got to watch …
Daja Vu
Daja Vu is where you have a sensation or feeling of having been somewhere or meeting someone before. The movie called Daja Vu is about an ATF agent named Doug Carlin which is portrayed by Denzel Washinton. He is investigating the bombing of the New Orleans Ferry. He is …
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014)
I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine in cinema, having already seen the previous X-Men movies and being familiar with the comics and animated series. And I was definitely impressed.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, directed by Gavin Hood and staring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth as well as …
Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
The Rookie Movie
This was quite the inspirational movie. This was a movie that I had not planned to watch, but it seems like any movie my boyfriend likes, he wants me to watch as well. But I am so glad that I saw it because I think it impacted me in …
Thank You for Smoking (2006)
Thank You for Smoking (2006) is a comedy directed by Jason Retiman and is rated R for language and some sexual content.
Thank You for Smoking takes place in Washington D.C. where Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is the public spokesperson for big tobacoo. Naylor is a blonde, pretty boy …
High School Musical
This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).
The movie itself is sort of silly in the way a lot of kids movies …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
Arrival (2016 Sci-fi Drama Film)
The way this film is marketed is truly off-putting, who else wants to watch another alien-invasion movie? I find it truly distracting that “language” is one of the main themes here but the distributor actually did not know how to communicate/market this film to the general audience. Granted, science fiction …
Copying Beethoven
I actually found the movie “Copying Beethoven” by accident as I had confused it with another movie I had seen years earlier and was searching high and low for a very long time. As soon as I saw the movie begin, I realised that it was not the movie …
What We Do in the Shadows-2014 Comedy, Horror Movie
What We Do in the Shadows is a comedy movie. It is one of the most inventive and unique movies i have ever seen regardless of its extremely low budget. As a matter of first importance, let me tell you that this is neither a Twilight parody nor it have …
“Get Him To The Greek” (2010 film)
I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …
Knight of Cups (2016 Film)
I had a really tough time getting through Terrence Malick’s well-known film The Tree of Life when it was released. The first time I watched it I didn’t lasted for 15 minutes. I immediately turned it off because I thought it was nothing but a pretentious show-off. I kept hearing …
V for Vendetta
V for vendetta is an action thriller film released in 2006. The movie is based in 2038, England. The country is controlled by a totalitarian government led by high chancellor Adam Sutler (yes, this is the source of my pen name).
The main character of the film is V, a …
Father Hood
This Patrick Swayze movie is one of my very favorites. Patrick is wonderful in the role of Jack Charles where, for the first time, he plays a father. The problem with the marketing of the movie, though, is that people misunderstood the title and thought the movie …
Iron Man 2 (2010 Film)
After watching the first “Iron Man”, I knew that I would have to watch the second one, which came out in 2010. “Iron Man 2” was not only as well acted and plotted out as the first one, but delivered an even more powerful character conflict and a very …
Sex and the City: The Movie
I have always been a Sex and The City fan and I was anxiously waiting for this movie to be released. Honestly, the story line is not that interesting. It’s quite an ordinary plot. However, as a Sex and The City fan, it’s always the other …
Murder by Decree
I am reviewing Murder by Decree, a Sherlock Holmes movie starring Christopher Plummer as Sherlock Holmes, and James Mason as Dr. Watson. This movie was produced in 1978, and pits Sherlock Holmes against the infamous Jack the Ripper. This movie is considered to be the best Holmes …
The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …
“Full Metal Jacket” (1987 film)
Obviously, a review of ANY Stanley Kubrick movie is going to have the usual raves (visually stunning, technically masterful!) and the usual criticisms (the acting can feel a little…robotic at times, and there’s generally a certain bleak, emotionally distant view of the human condition). Those definitely apply to Kubrick’s …
Police Academy (movie)
I haven’t watched the unedited version (as in, actual movie not one edited for TV) of Police Academy in years. But, after watching it again last weekend, I have to say I now realize just how good it was.
Other movies have tried to put together an insane group of …
The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines
Everyone has a rainy day movie, one that they like to watch when the weather outside is gray. You just warm yourself up a mug of hot cocoa, with marshmallows, stay in your pajamas, put up your feet, and enjoy the next couple of hours. For me, that movie …
Mr. Brooks movie
I loved watching this movie. It’s about man who is sometimes controlled by the other side of him. I think that they did an amazing job how they captured the other side of him, how they did the whole movie. Kevin Costner plays mr. brooks. He does a great …
Hindi film Sunday
I watched this film a few days back. The film stars Ajay Devgan and Ayesha Takia in the lead roles, the story is about a girl - Ayesha Takia, that has a bad memory and she forgets a full day and the incidents that has happened in those 24 …
A Man Apart (2003)
A Man Apart, directed by F. Gary Gray is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong graphic violence, language, drug content and sexuality. The original release date was April 4, 2003 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars …
Weather Man: movie
Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: Season One
I first watched this series with my friends in a theater, and I laughed so hard that the next day my voice was hoarse. I couldn’t talk regularly for three days after that!
The actual animation is amazing. They use different techniques from various periods in film history, including sound …
Hotel Rwanda
Imagine going to work one day and hearing news on the radio that a distant city in your country is under civil unrest. Imagine going home that evening to find your neighborhood dark and your neighbors being carried away by soldiers. Once you reach your home do you realize …

The Waterboy, the story of a not too bright boy who falls in love with the game of American Football. His mother doesn’t take too kindly to this when she finds out and she bans him from playing it eveer again. But before that fateful day, Adam Sandler played …
Transformers
If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …
High School Musical 2
High School Musical 2 is finally out. Everyone has been looking forward to the sequel to big hit High School Musical 1. I was looking forward to it as well. Even though I am not a very big fan of the first movie, I want to know what new …
“The Swimmer” movie
“The Swimmer” is a 1968 movie starring Burt Lancaster as the swimmer, Ned Merrill. Ned hasn’t been around recently though when the movie starts it isn’t clear where he’s been. However Ned doesn’t quite seem to be “quite right.” Ned appears unannounced at a friends house to swim in …
Richie Rich
Richie Rich was a very good movie that came out in the 1990s. It is based off of the TV show that was a cartoon. But this movie is all about the real life Richie Rich. It it basically the same story as the old cartoon TV show, but much …
