The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …
Open Season 2
Open season 2 was a cute, enjoyable movie to watch. It wasn’t as good as the first one though. The first movie was a lot more funnier. Elliot is getting married in the second movie to Giselle and he starts to have cold feet. I think that this movie …

The Dead One movie
I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …
The Land Before Time: The Great Day of the Flyers
My daughter has never watched any of the Land Before Time movies before. So, when she picked out one of the newer movies in the series “The Great Day of the Flyers,” I was skeptical about her watching even a few minutes of it.
However, I found she actually enjoyed …
Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …

Meet The Browns Film (2008)

Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …

The DVD’s state which ones are …
Movie Knowing
I was rather excited about seeing this movie. I like Nicolas Cage and I like Science Fiction so I had great expectations but got pretty disappointed. I mean, the movie is not that bad but it is less than I was expecting.
The movie starts when a class of elementary …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …

Spiderman 1-3
After much consideration I decided to review Spiderman as a trilogy instead of as individual movies. The Spiderman trilogy is different from most serial movies in that as time goes on the movies get better and better. I wasn’t a fan of the first Spiderman and because of that …
Canvas The movie
Canvas for the room is crowded and during the screening the young audience is exalted, participate and applauded, which makes it somewhat ‘more alive is interesting.

Gravity Movie 2013
There are movie screenings after which when I get out of the cinema I feel strange for a while. As if I’m in another world. Everything is familiar, but somehow different, strange. That is a clear evidence that I’ve watched something great and insightful. I have immersed myself in …
Meet The Parents (Film)
Meet The Parents is a comedy starring Ben Stiller which focuses on the basic story of a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time in a weekend stay. I’ll add that this isn’t the typical weekend stay, as everything that can go wrong, basically does go wrong. …
The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Purple Rain (Movie)
At first I really liked this movie, but now I absolutely hate it. I don’t even know why I keep the DVD around. This is a really old movie starring Prince and I guess it is about his life. I don’t know if it is a true story or …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
With all of the X-Men films that have been produced for mutant lovers everywhere, another movie revolving around these super human characters caught me as a little of overkill. However, I was proved very wrong after having seen the 2009 X-Men film, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine’. Not only was this …
The Happening movie
M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …

School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
Kung Fu Panda

Wall-E
This is an animation movie by Pixar Animation which features a robot named Wall-E. Every picture of Pixar is focused on a central character which stirs a wave of appreciation whenever it is introduced. Wall-E, I feel is the cutest of all the characters that I have seen till …
The Time Travelers Wife movie
I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …
The Fast and the Furious 4
Today I just watch the new movie Fast and Furious 4 in theatre. It’s the sequel of the previous movie Fast and Furious 1,2, and 3. The story is not so different with the previous movie, it’s about catching the bud guy and always involved racing car on it.
