Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I normally like murder mysteries, especially ones that don’t review who the killer is until the very end. However, in the case of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I was very disappointed.
The movie centers around Robert Downey Jr who plays an actor who impersonates a private eye and Val Kilmer, …
Half Nelson
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Half Nelson starring Ryan Gosling. Half Nelson revolves around a school teacher who is a favorite among his students. His class is always active with humor and fun, and everyone loves him…everyone except him. Ryan Gosling’s character smokes pot and does …

The departed movie
During the weekend, I went to watch “The departed” played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson. About ten minutes into the movie, I realized that I have watched a Chinese version of this movie. The difference is “The departed” combines all three sequels of the Chinese version. …
Zootopia 2016 Animated Comedy Movie
I first saw the trailer for the animated movie Zootopia when I went to the movies to watch something else. At the time I got the impression that it wasn’t really going to be anything more than a very funny children’s movie perhaps with one or two parts that adults …

This is a new to DVD horror movie. It stars Kane, who is a WWE superstar. The movie is set in a rundown hotel. There, a group of troubled teens are set to clean the place up, as part of a work release program. The …
The Dead Zone
King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …

The Matrix Revolutions movie
Oh yes…it is a Trilogy. Every body wants to make a trilogy. As if the first two weren’t enough, now we must sit through another long winded three and a half hour movie with the clueless saviour of all. Need I say anymore. Action, storyline, dialogue, monologue…the same as …
Salt Movie (2010)
I was anticipating this action/thriller movie from Angelina Jolie and had really high expections since she does action movies really well and sometimes with her own stunts, but after watching this movie I was quite disappointed as I thought it had a very anti-climactic moment at the peak of …
Dr. Phibes Rises Again movie

The Woman in Black (horror movie)
I’ve heard a lot of people say that the movie “The Woman in Black” was either stupid or boring or both. I’ve also seen it rated from below average to average in various places on the internet. However, for some reason I didn’t think that it was all that bad. …
Movie : 3000 Miles to Graceland
3000 Miles to Graceland is a comedic action movie starring Courteney Cox, Kurt Russell, and Kevin Costner. It is a mindless shoot I’m a movie with some genuinely funny moments. The best part of the movie was that it didn’t take itself too seriously —“ there was a serious …
Blue Valentine movie
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …
The Day After Tomorrow
The Day After Tomorrow is a film that combines Science Fiction, Drama, Action and Thriller. It presents a lot of disaster and destruction in America, and as a consequence, in the rest of the world.

Iron Man 2 (Movie)
This movie was the most-anticipated summer movie of the year, and people weren’t disappointed! It features new characters such as The Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. I personally think Scarlett played a major role here and it …
“Friday the 13th part 6″ movie
I’ve been making my way through the “Friday the 13th” film series. It is one of the iconic horror/slasher franchises out there and I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I’ve been on a bit of a horror kick lately, I figured that now was as good a …

War of the Worlds 2 Movie
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn’t exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures …
Grandma’s Boy Movie
I was at a friend’s house when I first heard about this movie. He said to me “It’s called Grandma’s Boy”. I laughed, thinking it was about a little boy who was spoiled by his grandma and wanted to stay at her house all the time. This was not …

Movie Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is a great war movie with Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, and Josh Hartnett playing the pivotal roles. The movie is based on the attack on Pearl Harbor and is very well directed. Though the movie is very long in duration, it doesn’t seem an obstacle for a …
Movie: G-Force
Well, I finally got around to watching the movie G-Force with my oldest daughter last night; as I have been promising her I would do for some time now.
You know what, the movie really wasn’t worth the wait.
I will say the film did have some cute and funny moments. …
2 Guns movie
The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …
Movie Overnight Delivery
“Overnight Delivery” is an incredible, hilarious movie where you won’t stop laughing from the beginning till the end. The main actors in this movie, Paul Rudd and Reese Whiterspoon are at their best.
The story of this movie is about Wyatt Trips (Rudd) who is so in love with his …
My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …
The Prestige movie
The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …
2010 movie
The sequel to the classic masterpiece 2001 - A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. Nine years later an american-soviet space ship is sent to Jupiter to try and figure out what really happened to the old space ship Discovery over there. This is not really a sequel to the …
WALL-E
When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …

Gosford Park dvd
When I ran across this dvd at my local bargain shop for less than three dollars, new still in packaging I purchased it because I had heard from numerous sources that Gosford Park was an exceptional film. I had hopes of being at least mildly enetertained during this film.
Gosford …

I watched Departures the other day with my circle of friends and I was moved to tears. This movie storyline is so touching that it just makes you wonder what you would do and how you would react when someone in your circle of family or friends and relatives …
Hall Pass (2011 Movie)
Starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, “Hall Pass” is about two guys who get to take a week off from marriage, no strings attached. After watching the trailer, I realized that movies like this are why I get so mad at the male population. A week off marriage? How …

“Grindhouse” (2007 double feature)
“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …
