Twilight Movie
I have heard so many outrageous things said about the Twilight movie, and from people who haven’t even watched it. They have said that Edward Cullen isn’t a real vampire, that he’s a wimpy vampire, that he’s a pretty boy, and pretty much any other ridiculous thing that one …
The 40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin was surprisingly good. I thought it might be just a dumb comedy, but it was a comedy with heart and some intelligence. Steve Carrell plays the titular character without become a caricature. Sure he does some nerdy things like collect huge …
Out of Time movie 2003
Out of Time with Denzel Washington is an action packed, non-stop tension kind of movie.
Anything with Denzel in it tends to be good at the least—“ and this is no exception. He plays a police chief who gets himself into the most unbelievable heap of trouble you can imagine, …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children
I’ve always wondered what happened to the character of Final Fantasy 7 after the game and now I know. This is a feature length film set 2 years after the Meteor incident in FF7. Everyone has settled back into normal life until an old evil force is set to …
Movie Love Actually
I must admit that “Love Actually” is one of my favourite all time movies. What makes this movie so special is the fact that it tackles the theme of love from various angles in a simple and straight forward manner.
In this movie we get to meet eight different stories …
3:10 to Yuma
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. Crowe plays Arizona outlaw Benjamin Wade, a no nonsense, dangerous criminal. While dangerous, the man is also charming and likable. Then we meet Dan Evans, played by Christian Bale. He’s a family man, dedicated, …

Movie The Godfather
The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …

One Million Years BC movie
The appeal of the movie One Million Years BC can be boiled down to two points: Dinosaurs and Raquel Welch in a leather bikini. (Depending on your tastes you can determine which of those two points is the more important). Beyond that, well, there’s not much to …

I already watch this movie in cinemas yesterday. This is the fourth series from terminator movies. I think many new things that are shown and it is very different from the previous movies. For example, the main actor is not Arnold Schwarzeneger anymore, and the world setting is not …
Gravity (2013 Space Thriller Film)
I still remember that day in October, 2013 when Gravity opened in cinemas and I was one of the first people who saw it on its opening day. The cinema was rather surprisingly empty, mimicking the vast space where this film was mostly set. It became a box-office phenomenon a …
Rec
I watched this before, titled Rec and it was during 2007, I think. Pretty darn scary, if you ask me. Remember The Blair Witch Project..? Well, it is something like it, but different in a way.
You will get to see a recording or some sort …
Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …

Paranormal Activity movie
As Paranormal Activity 2 is coming out soon, I thought it was time to sit down and write a review over the first film. Surely everyone by now has been given one opinion or another; this movie is absolutely terrifying and believable or it’s about as scary as an …
Masters of Horror: Dance of the Dead (movie)
I got hooked on the Masters of Horror series of films when I ordered “Jenifer” from Netflix. I was intrigued by the amount of gore and the uncensored approach to many adult topics. This film, however, directed by Tobe Hooper left so much to be …
It’s Just a Ride movie
A film about the life of stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. Interviews with friends, family and colleagues are mixed with actual re-creations of his private life and authentic material from his live shows.

Movie Click
Usually I love movies that Adam Sandler are in. He is usually really funny and always makes me laugh. I only remember laughing in one part in this movie where the kid gets hit in the face with the ball. Another thing I didn’t like about it is that …
Thr3e
This movie was definitely one of those that I will have to watch twice to figure out where they got one over on me. I enjoyed the movie and was really happy to see Marc Blucas, the former Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the ending was …

Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime

House of Wax
It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …

The Orphanage (R, 2007) movie
Belen Rueda stars as Laura in this weird, yet spooky little film. The synopsis on Netflix seemed a little more ominous than the actual film. Anyway, I was a bit confused at first as to what was going on. But once I realized …
Ghostbusters the Movie
This is an oldie but a goodie. Certainly one of the funniest movies to come out dealing with the paranoia. It is also a nice reminder of the days when Bill Murray used to be funny. I really don’t know what happened to him, but he …
Cerberus (2005) movie
This is another one of those creepy animal movies, this time being based on ancient Greek mythology. If you’re familiar at all with mythology, then you should know that Cerberus is the three-headed dog that belongs to Hades, God of the Underworld (land of the dead, afterlife). His dog …

Elvira Mistress of the Dark
You have to be at least my age to be able to remember Elvira hosting B-rated horror movies on television back in the 80s. However, kids can gain an understanding of her character by renting her classic movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb movie. …
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.
The story is that of a child thinking that far in Florida is forced to live with the odd behavior of the mother suffers …
The Mist
Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …

The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …

Elvira’s Haunted Hills
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …
Shortbus (movie)
One of my friends had been nagging me to watch the movie “Shortbus” for several weeks, but I kept putting it off mostly because I did not have the time to actually sit and watch a movie. However, some time ago, we had both managed to watch the movie …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …
